Grayson Battery B National Guard Photograph collection
Scope and Contents
This is a collection of World War II era group portraits of National Guardsmen from Scott and Clinton counties and several images of departing at the Davenport train station in March 1941 to go to training in Louisiana. The negatives were used to create new prints and efforts were made to identify people featured. Bill Wundram wrote a column which was published in the Quad City Times August 17, 2000 regarding this collection. Only two men were identified: Ely Barssarich and Leo Beulon.
