I am making progress on the revision of the website dedicated to my dad, Maurice Miller, who diligently photographed the 84th Division in WII. He was attached to the 309 Combat Engineers, earned the rank of sargeant, and was also assigned to Division HQ as the Historical Photographer, as Gen. Bolling wanted to document the 84th's history. He got to see the 84th's involvement from a lot of perspectives- from the ranks, to the generals, from the air behind the German lines in a Piper Cub, etc. Here is a link:

I will be adding much more material as time goes on, but there is a lot here to see already. I have a "Help" section to see if anyone can help identify places or individuals, on several of the photos. Any comments, thoughts, or specific knowledge that I can add to any of the photos is certainly welcome. My dad used to mention a propaganda flyer the Germans dropped at the beginning of the Bulge that said "Welcome 84th". I was wondering if anyone had a copy of it?
