This index contains links to 8th Armored Division portfolios containing pictures taken from training at Fort Knox, KY, and Camp Polk, LA, to our final destination in Czechoslovakia. They were scanned in the order they were contained in the portfolios and no attempt has been made to edit or further catalogue them.

Comments:

The pictures are contained in Portfolios 1 to 4 which are displayed at the Association's reunions. They have been scanned and reproduced here for anyone to view, especially those who may not have been able to attend the reunions.

The quality is not as good as could be expected because the pictures are over 60 years old and the copying and editing could not improve them much. The documents may be hard to read in the format in which they are presented.

We have used the Picasa/Google photo sharing system to display the photos and are not too familar with how it works so please use a little patience in learning how to view them. It is also possible to view the photos as a slideshow or download selected copies if desired.

The Camp Polk booklet was prepared in late 1944 just prior to our shipping out to Europe. It's a slideshow of the booklet and has music associated with it. It is in .wmv format and requires Microsoft media player or some other player program that can play this format.
