Unknown----1/22 Infantry 1971
The following was found on the
internet listed for sale on a website of a militaria dealer.
Unfortunately, the items had already been sold. An inquiry by the
1st Battalion webmaster,
as to who bought the items, was unanswered by the dealer.
Anyone who can identify the Soldiers, locations or unit presented below is invited to contact the webmaster.
Most importantly, anyone who has
the 1971 yearbook shown in the first photograph, is sincerely
asked
to share this book with us here at the website.
Here is the desciption of the items which were marked as "sold" by the militaria dealer on his website:
US8.)VIETNAM WAR U.S. ARMY 22ND INFANTRY
REGIMENT GROUPING: the most spectacular part of this grouping,
which all belonged to one 22nd Infantry veteran, are the photos
which he took, both color and black and white. We've only shown
but a few here,
his photo album is full of snap shots and photos showing
helicopter assault action, loaded down troops in the field, lots
of good action photos,
Vietnamese girlfriends, his buddies, etc. Unlike most Vietnam era
photograph albums, the quality of the images in this album are
pretty sharp and clear.
He was a good photographer and picked his subjects well. Several
photos show him on the plane coming home, smiling and very happy.
Total of 110 photos in all. Also comes with the commemorative
year book for this outfit's tour in Vietnam, the 1st Battalion,
22nd Infantry at Tuyhoa-An Khe
and Dong Ba Thin in 1971. This yearbook has hundreds of great
photos. A large color photo from advanced infantry training at
Fort Polk shows this same soldier
in the last row, sixth from the left. However, we don't know his
name but surmise it to have been 'Finney'.
Note that we have tabbed his photos, one of which is named 'SP4
Finney'.
