The A. G. Boy's 19th R.D. - France 1944-45

I have a sizable collection of World War II photos that belonged to my great-uncles, Ed and Tony Lawson of Chase City, Virginia. Does anyone know who these guys might be in the above photo? You can click it to see a larger version.

The back of the photo says "The A. G. Boy's 19th R.D. France 44-45." The short guy, front row and second from the left, is my great-uncle, Hunter Thomas "Tony" Lawson. His tombstone gives the following: "TEC3 - World War II"

A second copy of the same photo is labeled "A.G. Section Hg. 19th R.D. France - 45."

If anyone can ID any of the soldiers or explain what these abbreviations mean, that would be appreciated. I might post some more of these on the site if there appears to be some interest out there in seeing them.

Some burials of Bethlem Baptist Church, Richmond, Henrico County, Virginia

I transcribed these many years ago and had them in my notes. This is a very incomplete list but I thought I would throw them out there...

Footnote Offers all of their Historical Military Pictures and Photos from WWII & Vietnam for FREE!!!

Footnote.com sent me a note to say that...

"Shortly before Memorial Day, Footnote announced that our entire collection of military photos would be made permanently free on the site. The collection features over 80,000 photos from WWII and Vietnam, making it the largest collection of its kind on the web.

Through our partnership with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Footnote has digitized and indexed the photos, which include images of downed aircraft, aerial photos of bombings, photos of fighter groups and combat photos. What makes the photos unique are the short captions included with the photos, which provide interesting details about the events and people featured."

Do you have access to Kentucky records?

We have limited access to records for the state of Kentucky. The Virginia state archives has copies of some personal property tax lists, militia commissions, land grants, legislative petitions, land tax lists and census records. Most of these records pertain to the period shortly before 1793. We do have access to some military records, including World War I and II draft cards, Federal Census records, the Social Security Death Index.
