Albert James Apple, Jr. & The TOUGH 'OMBRES The men of the 90th Infantry Division

      My Father, Albert James Apple, Jr. was born on May 18, 1923 in Ladonia, Fannin County, Texas to Albert James Apple, Sr. and Beulah Vista Grant.  He was the 5th of 13 children.   He died on January 27, 1990 in Fort Worth, Texas. 

      My Dad was inducted into the service on October 26, 1943 and entered on November 16, 1943 at Dallas, Texas.  According to his Separation papers, my Dad served in the following battles and campaigns:  Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland and Central Europe.  He received the Purple Heart and Silver Star.  He was separated at Camp Fannin, Texas on December 7, 1945. 

      I’ve enclosed photographs of my Dad’s “platoon” but only a few photos had names on the back. I have not been able to locate any of these guys, but if anyone knows who they are and where they are, I would love to talk to them. 

The TOUGH 'OMBRES
Stamped on the back of all photos is:
