U.S. Army Signal Corps Photographs of the Fifth Army in Italy (digitized collection)

Scope and Contents

This group contains 323 photographs of the Fifth Army in Italy from 1943 to 1945. The photographs were taken by members of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Most are extensively captioned on the reverse, with the name of the photographer and his company identified. The majority of the photographs were taken by members of three companies: the 3131 Signal Service Company, the 163rd Signal Photo Company, and the 196th Signal Photo Company.

These photographs were declassified by Col. Ladd in 1949 when he was serving as Chief of the Engineer Intelligence and Mapping Division.
