ORIGINAL WWII PHOTO - ORIGINAL TO THE TIME - NOT A COPY, SCAN, OR REPRO
QUANTITY: 1 - See the other original WWI & WWII photos that I have listed.
ITEM: Original WWII Snapshot Photo of CHUCK LAUGHLIN, MILITARY POLICE of 8th ARMORED DIVISION wearing BMP HELMET with his JEEP in Czechoslovakia, 1945. The PWE sign is for PRISONER OF WAR ESCORT.
Photo came from Private Chuck Laughlin of the Military Police Company, 8th Armored Division. He wrote his first name on several photos. His last name is surmised from a Jeep with PVT LAUGHLIN on the windshield that he is pictured with in a photo I have. Some online sources say that the MP's of the 8th Armored Division were a platoon, but Chuck refers to it as the MP Company. The division is easily identified by patches worn and other material.
