Attached is a photo that I know nothing about. My
grandfather carried a camera with him during the war. Please post it to see if any one knows of who the people are and where it was taken.
-Jack Wood
I know a couple of the guys in the photo....Maj Martin D. Miller and John Hanighen are in the front of the half-track (Miller sitting). I think that is me in the background. So, how do I get in contact with Jack Wood? And, who was his grandfather?

I found this photo in my Mother-in-laws chest. Trying to locate relatives to send this picture to. I am sure that there is someone who would like to have it. I think he was from the New York or New jersey area.
Can contact me at wsbut@enter.net.
Thank you, Wayne

The attached picture is of a group of soldiers from C Battery, 492nd
Armored Field Artillery Battalion, 11th Armored Division near Bastogne, January
1945.
My father Corporal Dix A. Lathrop, Nebraska is the upper right
person in the picture. He was a forward observer and was wounded while on detachment to the 55th AI near Steffenhausen and the
Maginot & Siegfried Lines on 7 FEB 1945 returning to his unit near Hof-Bayreuth Germany on
15 APR 1945.
He later participated in the liberation of Mauthausen,
Gusen, Ebensee and other concentration camps in Austria.
