Company D
337^th Infantry Regiment

Belluno, Northern Italy, May 1945

This group photo is Company D of the 337^th Infantry Regiment of the 85^th 'Custer' Division was taken after the Germans surrendered. The 85^th Division chased the Germans into the Alps, where they surrendered on May 2, 1945 at Belluno. Some of the 85^th Division remained in the Belluno area of the Alps and waited for the Army to decide what was next for them. If they had earned enough points, they could go home -or- they would be sent to the Pacific Theater for the invasion of Japan. So, I suppose this was a good time for one last photo of the victorious troops in Italy.

I wanted to blow up this photo as big as possible so the readers might have a chance in identifying someone in it. After all, if any veteran made it through the war, then they would be in this photo. Below is a small view of the photo. Click on it and wait for the large photo to load. It will open into a seperate window.

The building in the background has the Custer Division (CD) insignia on the
door and underneath is "E-M Club", which stood for "Enlisted Men's Club".
Private Seymour Sarokin drew in an arrow pointing to him with
the note: "Use a Magnifying Glass for Better Results".
