Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Plastic spiral-bound with flexible plastic wrappers. Front cover and a couple of leaves detached, but otherwise both album and images are near fine. The album contains 170 black and white gelatin silver photographs mounted using paper corners. Most photographs are 3" x 3.5" or 4" x 3.5". A few photographs are lacking, but the album doesn't appear to have been pillaged. Streeter's dogtag is laid into the album. Approximately the first two-thirds of the album documents the stateside, married life of a 1950s army officer, the final third documents Lt. Streeter’s service as the Pioneer and Ammunition Platoon Leader in the 3rd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division in 1952. The album, particularly the Korean photographs, are very well captioned in white album ink. The beginning of the album follows both Streeter's prosaic family life, and military and base images, mostly at Camp Breckenridge, Kentucky, but also with images of vacations in Pennsylvania and at the New Jersey shore. Once Streeter is shipped to Korea, the regiment was in almost continuous combat along the 38th parallel, where it earned five campaign streamers and a Korean Presidential Unit Citation. Streeter’s photographs were taken while the regiment defended Heartbreak Ridge and the Punch Bowl. Among the photographs are images of defensive positions along Heartbreak Ridge, a dedication ceremony for a command post named in honor of two men killed in action, equipment assigned to the Recoilless Rifle Platoon (75 mm Recoilless Rifles, 50 caliber Machine guns, and 3.5 inch Rocket Launchers), the Mortar Platoon (81 mm Mortars), and the Machine gun Platoon (heavy and light machine guns), Lt. Streeter using a Flame Thrower, the P&A Platoon in formation and at work, sandbag bunkers built by Lt. Streeter’s platoon, Lt. Streeter with captured Russian weapons, the command group conducting reconnaissance for Operation Slash, a Korean Service Corps worker and a South Korean infantry patrol, and a helicopter evacuating two seriously wounded men. A nice selection of front line images from the Korean War.
