We love hearing stories of the original 10th men, and we love the pictures that come with! This is from worldtravelista1 - a photo of her grandfather and his company.
"My Grandpa Ernie and his “buddies” from the 10th Mountain Division. Or specifically from his company of the 85th Regiment, HQ 2nd Battalion.
.
It was such a treasure to find this photo online with the Denver Public Library some 5 years ago. The photo was taken January 1945, near Gavinana, - a small town in the mountains of North Tuscany, Italy. I have visited Gavinana a couple times - hoping to find this location , but no luck just yet.
.
This group photo was taken just before they saw any of the serious combat. Such young men - all around very early twenties. I just can’t even imagine. .
Grateful to all the service women and men who sacrificed so much for our freedoms today."
