“This picture was part of the WWW II letters sent to my mother from her brother Troy U. Gilley, 506/101 F Co (ETO) and her brother-in-law, Arthur Shelby (2-E-10) (PTO).
I know very little about Art Shelby, except he was Marine and trained in demolition during his basic training and saw action in the PTO. The men in the picture could represent either theater of War. The men in the picture are unknown to me.
Maybe, just maybe someone will know who they are and be able to put the picture in context.”
