 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."
 
 Signed swastika from a German hanging banner "captured" by Malcolm Jones of the 558th.  
 8 pictures by Bill Larkin
The center swastika of the banner was removed after returning home by Malcom's wife so she could use the rest of the banner's red cloth to make dresses.
(swastika is now in the possession of Mike Toplisek)
