Hi Randy,
My husband’s father was Edgar Engelbrecht, pictured in the top left of this photo. We have the names of the men in the top row, but have been trying to identify the names of the men in the bottom row. So happy to have H. J. Hamilton identified. Do you know the identity of any of the other men? My husband and I recently visited the WWll 390th Museum in Tucson, AZ. There was so much to see and learn. The museum is also trying to identify the other men pictured. I will give them your uncle’s name. Thank you for sharing your uncle’s information. Nancy Engelbrecht
