Still Photo Coverage - 196th Signal Photo Company
The co-authors continue to post additional materials concerning the conduct and operations of the the 3131st Signal Service Battalion and 196th Signal Photo Company. Some of these are available in PDF format. Surviving family members of George H. Getty, Jerome W. Kosseff and Chester Rusbar who served in the 196th SPC have contacted us since the publication of our book to provide personal wartime photos and personal memories of their wartime service. Links to photos taken by these three men will be uploaded soon.
