Photos from Arthur Ballou of the 557th FAB (from his son, Dan Ballou), June 2012
16 photos from Arthur D. Ballou Dan Ballou says, "My father (Arthur D. Ballou) was a member of the 557th F/A Btn. They were one of the few other units that fielded M12's." Photos can also be seen online at www.WW2Online.nl "I did not create that site. It was made by a guy in Holland who was making it as a tribute to the GI's who liberated Holland. He somehow found me and asked me if my father took any pictures." |
