Great pictures and web site. There were some pictures of Fort Indiantown Gap (back then it was Indiantown Gap Military Reservation, IGMR). They still have some of the old barracks as shown in the picture.
in the distance, is that more soldiers or shrubbery?
My son has bought old cameras overseas and found undeveloped film in them. He’s developed the rolls at home, and has found some interesting pics on them. So far, nothing of historical significance though.
I went to the Rescued Film website.
I would like to have seen all the pictures, but the crap editing of the video was too annoying. Is there a logical reason the frame/scene has to change every 1/2 second? I’d like to actually have time to focus on what is happening.
Ping!
OK, I looked at all 100 plus pics at the web site. I am a WW2 history fanatic. I can kind of understand why the film was never developed years ago. There is almost nothing going on, seriously, except for G.I.’s getting ready to be de-mobilized to be sent back to the states, and waiting in line at the chow hall. The WW1 French Renault tank with WW2 German markings was kind of interesting. It was nice to see some of the old WW2 wooden barracks, I lived in some of those for a while when I was in the Army 40 years ago. But all in all, this group of pics isn’t going to change history.
Thanks, great post!
Beautiful, all considered.
While browsing them, I saw several that had vehicles with an odd (to me) insignia on them, like a dark ‘Y’ or 3-bladed prop, inside a light shield.
After Googling & scrolling a lot, I think it is an emblem for the 108th Quartermaster Regiment. I would love for some knowledgeable FReeper to either confirm or correct that ID, as it would shed light on where those were snapped.
