US M16 Motor Gun Carriage Halftracks in the ETO. I once saw a caption saying that they were from the 6th AD and the location was northern Luxembourg, but I won't hold my breath for it. The M16 MGC was a M45 .50 cal Quad mount, aka "Maxson Mount" put onto a Halftrack.

Stragglers of the 110th arriving in Bastogne, they were about to be regrouped into "TF SNAFU". I have the name of the Lt. with the Grease Gun and M1 Carbine somewhere bit I could not find it for the love of god.......

Iconic picture of two stragglers of the 110th, having reached Bastogne. Again I can't remember their names, I'm too lazy to search in my archives right now. But it's one of my favourite "Bulge" pics!

While the vast majority of the pictures I post are mine, either original war time prints of official Signal Corps photos, or photos taken by individual GIs with their own camera I bought, some pics I just copie form the net. I never took watermarked pics so I supposed that they were, just as the the SC pictures in the public domain.

The following series are not mine. They all show the 4th Armored Division's breakthrough Bastogne, coming up from Arlon. The photos were taken in the Martelange, Burnon, Chaumont, Assenois region.

Picture taken in the small Hamlet of Hoscheiterdickt, Luxembourg, in January to February 1945, The bodies of dead GIs were found after the village had been liberated by the 5th Infantry Division. All the GIs had bene killed by a single bullet into the neck. Obviously a war crime committed by Germans, but, afaik, the crime was never prosecuted, no witnesses, no one to accuse, no trial.........may they rest in peace and the murderers be haunted for eternal times. I never came across the identities of the murder victims, but on December 16th the AT Coy. of the 110th was in the village.
