ITEM: Original WWII Snapshot Photo of the 1st BATTALION, 110th INFANTRY REGIMENT, 28th DIVISION training in Louisiana in 1942. Shows FATHER ALAN P. MADDEN set up for mass on the hood of a Jeep at Camp Livingston, Louisiana, spring of 1942. Madden was Chaplain of the 1st Battalion, 110th Infantry and was later taken prisoner by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. See the other photos from this unit that I have listed (all with 28th Division searchable in the titles).

Photo is from a GI of the 1st Battalion, 110th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division as they trained mostly at Camp Livingston, Louisiana from March to November 1942. The unit was easily identified as the 28th Division by their patches and further narrowed down to the 1st Battalion of the 110th Infantry by some of the named men in the photos including Father Alan P. Madden who was the 1st Battalion's Chaplain through all their fighting in Europe up to the Battle of the Bulge when he was taken prisoner by the Germans. The shot up and weary 28th Division stalled the German advance during the initial phase of the Battle of the Bulge. Earlier this very battalion marched down the Champs-Elysees in the victory parade on August 29, 1944 after Paris was liberated. A photo of the 1st Battalion of the 110th Infantry in this parade was later featured in the 1945 US Army 3 cent postage stamp.
