Proud Dad Jerome (Jerry) Kosseff named his

jeep after his son Leslie born while he served in wartime Italy.

Sgt. Jerome Kosseff takes aim with his still camera

"Hi, I am Leslie Kosseff, Jerome (Jerry) Kosseff's son.  I have been telling my Dad about your book "The Last Farewell"

and the other photographers you included in the memoir of Edmund Burke O'Connell.

He says  he remembers some of the names. He is 90. I asked him if he wants to speak to some of the men in his old outfit,

but as of now he says no, I am hopeful that will change.  He would appreciated a signed copy of the book.  

My Dad often speaks of his time in the service as a photographer.  I have a photo of his jeep with my name painted on

the front.  I was born when he was in Italy.  He was the photographer assigned to General Mark Clark.  He also talks about an

Army Lieutenant named Edward J. Montagne  

Lt. Montagne produced the Sgt. Bilko television show starring actor Phil Silvers."
