Original Vintage stateside 1942-5 WWII US Army photo from the collection & albums of Surgical Tech M/Sargent John R Grimes & his wife & officer Army Nurse Joanna Hathaway. (Married in dual Army wedding in Erlanger, Germany July 19th, 1945). Both served with the famed 35th Evacuation Hospital, Patton's 3rd Army which left from England for Omaha Beach on D-Day+12. The 35th was in operation on the Continent for 227 Combat days with taking care of 21, 000+ frontline casualties.. It participated in all five major Campaigns.
All photos in collection are identified by Joanna with her writing in albums. Many I left on album paper. Others I have the info in the title and I added any ID'd names to the back of photo in light pencil.
Many photos look like they are official 35th Evacuation Hospital unit photos.
