Harry A. Elliott Crew
The following has been taken from an album created by Valentin Desire Breaux, Jr., nose gunner of this crew and contributed by Ann-Marie Breaux, Valentin's niece. In some cases, I have larger pictures in addition to the one you see on this page so be sure to check to see if the images you see here are a link to a larger version of the same picture. If you click on one, the larger version will open in a new tab in your browser. Close that tab and you will be right back here.
