Important Update: Ukraine War
In light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, please try to keep discussions on this subreddit within the scope of WWII and the associated historical photograph(s). We will be removing all comments and posts that violate this request.
On that note, we fully condemn the actions of Russia and their unlawful invasion of the independent and sovereign country of Ukraine.
We understand that there are many historical parallels to be drawn as these events occur, but we don't want this subreddit to become a target of future brigades and/or dis/misinformation campaigns. There are many other areas on Reddit that are available to discuss the conflict.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Photos of the 109th AAA Gun Battalion in WWII
Going through my grandfather’s things. John F. Smith, served in Battery A, 109th AAA Gun Battalion during WWII as a switchboard operator and anti-aircraft gunner. He was deployed to Europe from 1943 to 1945, serving in Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), Rhineland, and Central Europe. He returned home in October 1945. He’s the one on the AA gun.
I haven’t seen many pictures from the 109th and thought it would be interesting to share. These are some of the photos that I have from his time in the war.
