In an earlier post called Wartime (that's a link to that post), there is a photo of JPZ in his living room, and on the wall is a framed photo of his eldest son Eugene. Here is a print that looks similar, if not quite the same, as that photo on the wall in the photo:
Help me Rhonda!
1. What is that insignia on his shoulder? How can I identify his unit?
Somewhere in the boxes are, I hope, a metal bracelet with paratrooper insignia, plus a photo of his unit in Basic, plus his discharge papers, and some other things. Until those items surface, can anyone suggest a good website for checking out these US Army insignia from WWII?
2. There's a book in print called Finding Your Father's War - A Practical Guide to Researching and Understanding Service in the World War II US Army. Before I buy it, can anyone give an opinion on its reliability and utility?
3. I believe I shall start a page on this site listing favorite history books, to include Polish histories, World Wars I and II histories, and biographies of Polish immigrants to America. Would people send in some of their most recommended titles? Would people write little reviews as posts?
