The
New Guys
(Frankfurt, 1946) all five wear the French and Belgian Fourragére and
Presidential Unit Citation awarded the 508th during WWII. Only the man
at top left seems to wear the CIB, however. These men are all
unidentified.
William Cheetham, who grew up and still lives near
Wollaton Park, recently watched a B/W YouTube video and downloaded this
photo which he then colorized.
The man depicted is wearing a reserve chute and other equipment, is
unidentified.
