He would also have been eligble for the National Defense Service Medal. In several photos he has the rank of SSgt but in what appears to be later photos his rank is Corporal.

There are also photos of M-47 Patton Tanks, military ambulance, trucks, a foreign car. A few are in faded color.

The names Adobe and Atom Bomb are noted on the M-47 tanks. One of the reprint photos shows a M26 Pershing named Dracula. One halftrack is named Antique. There are at least five reprints.
