    Nope, but I'd sure like to see it, since it covers my period of service with the Eighty-Deuce. What's it got inside?

    There are pictures in this book from all the different units in that era. I figured I'd ask first to be sure it would be okay to scan and post any pics that might be requested. I didn't see myself in any of the pics, but I remember many of the troops I served with are in some of the pics.

    on the plus side, we can eat evening chow at 1600, and lots of times we don't even have to chew our food. Let's hear it for the Senior menu discount!

    The Division did a Division Yearbook in 1982 - something like 1982 - the Year of the 82nd. They took pix of every member of the Division and did company-sized unit pix. I was able to order my personal pic but regret not getting the Yearbook.

    Check with the Div museum. They may be able to help you out.

    This is a year book from 1917-1973, is that correct? My father served 1943-44, or 45, can civilians get this book?
    I'd like to see if he is in it.

    This annual doesn't have full history. It would probably have to have volumes as thick as phone books for that. If your father was a staff officer like a general he might be in it. There are group pictures of most if not all of the units in the '73 time frame.
