Earnest A. Weill III World War II Photos

I may have  shared a few of these in the past, but here are some more photos that my grandfather, Ernest A. Weill, took during his time stationed in Europe during WWII. I find them utterly captivating.

And this one is my personal favorite. I feel like this one belongs in a museum!

WWII Photos from Ernest A. Weill III

My grandfather, Ernest Alfonso Weill III, took many photos while stationed in Europe during WWII. I have put them in the "Genealogy" section of my flickr account for you guys to see. This is where I will be putting all future genealogy-related pics, as it is easier than hosting them on my personal website.

More Weills

 

This a picture of Monroe "Beau" Weill. He was (is?) the son of Lawrence and Gertrude Weill. He was a contemporary of Ernest A. Weill III, and this is possibly a pic of him before shipping off to WWII. His name does not appear when I search for WWII veteran info, which may mean he's still alive. I have no birth or death dates for him or his parents. 

I do know that his father was Ernest A. Weill II's brother. Together with the third brother  (Joseph) they ran an insurance company in Owensboro, KY. I cannot find any trace of this company and do not even know the name of it. According to Ana, Joseph and Lawrence both remained Jewish, while my g-grandfather, EAWII, distanced himself religiously, and eventually left the insurance company. Jesse (Glenn) Weill also worked there briefly as a secretary. The couple were teased "mercilessly" by Joseph and Lawrence.

Chessie or Josephine or Grampere cared enough about this man to save his picture and his badges from his army uniform (can you tell which one got worn?) Yet, I and my family know nothing about him. Anyone have any info on this cousin?
