The picture of the soldiers on the landing craft hants me. Right in the middle there is a young boy who appears to be way younger than the others,in fact he looks like a very young kid. Also he is the exact image of my grandson.Would love to find the names of these men.

My son looks identical to the boy in the center! Here's a side by side comparison. I'd love to find the names of the soldiers on this mission and see if there's a possible relation. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10219526951429165&set=a.2154890876581&type=3&eid=ARDZS4KEZRYRJBkH8BV7eTDiztZqGEz762xVp42z8IHJJU88tvA74OSfxvR28R417cYdhJanBZkWgRfu

Is there any way to find out the name of the medic in this picture? He looks a lot like my father

The young boy in the center looks like my son who served in the Army in 2010 in the Infantry. I'd love to know the identity of who he is.

I too am curious about the young man 3rd back in the center. My aunt think it resembles my grandfather and was wondering if anyone knew if the names of these men are listed anywhere?

I have been told my entire life that the soldier is my uncle Herman Stoos. He died in Tunisia.

I am very interested in the photo of the american troops on a landing craft during Operation Torch 8 Nov, 1942. Is there anyway I could find the names of these men.
