I have a number of photos of the 172nd Infantry Regiment, taken from late 1930's training maneuvers through World War II. Many are from Camp Blanding, Florida and were taken in 1942 and 1943. Some also are from Dry Prong, Louisana. A few are from Munda and Arundel Islands, New Georgia in 1943-1944. Almost all are of members of Company F. If you had an ancestor or relative in Co. F, I am willing to share these with you. Some have last names, some have nicknames and some have no name associated with the photo.

Hi,
I would like to view the photos you have of the 172nd. I have an uncle, my father's only brother, that was part of the 172nd and never made it home. I trying to learn more about him and his military service.
Thanks,
John

Which company was he in? My photos are almost entirely of individuals in one company. If you give me his name, I will check to see if I have him listed in my file.
