I love the pre-war photos from Camp Barkeley, near Abilene, Texas, where the 90th ID trained. This edition of the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week features another two-war veteran. Corporal Henry J. Lowe, also a participant in World War I, plays fiddle for his fellow soldiers.
A good Monday morning to all. Time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. A group that certainly doesn’t get the credit they deserve are the brave Piper Cub pilots of World War II. They did so much, always at extreme risk, to aid their buddies on the ground.

This Monday’s 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week features a sobering shot from the U.S. Military Cemetery at Foy, Belgium. Row after row of fresh graves follow the Battle of the Bulge.

Gooooooood Monday morning to all. It’s time for the 90th Infantry Division Pic of the Week. I love this late April 1945 shot of Lobenstein, Germany. How picturesque is this quaint little burg?
