Photographs

These photographs are from a private collection. They are scanned from the original negatives or contact prints of photographs taken by the 2nd Engineers. During the course of their stay in Europe with the 2nd Division they produced approximately 500 photographs. I will be posting more as I am able to restore them. They are degraded nitrate negatives. Restoration is quite time consuming and, in some cases, impossible.
