Iowans Enjoy Rest Period in Holland
(Photos included)
These photographs were taken in Holland while front-line troops of the 35th Infantry division were enjoying a rest period. They were sent to The Register by First Lt. E. H. Zielasko, a former S.U.I. student, who writes that Iowans in Europe receive much pleasure from the pictorial reports of home towns in the rotogravure section, and adds:
“It occurred to me that the people in Iowa would be equally interested in a pictorial report of their sons, relatives and friends overseas . . .”
Pictures were taken by Signal Corps Photographer Armond R. Guinn, Los Angeles.
Strolling down a Highway in Holland are Pfc. Harrison H. Hesseltine of Brighton (at left) and Pvt. Richard E. Porter.
“They’re not going anywhere in particular,” Lieutenant Zielasko says, “just strolling as they used to on Sunday afternoons back home.”
