Re: Where can I find a photo related to the Battle of Attu?
Ann Abney Dec 5, 2016 6:20 AM (in response to Betsy Blair)2 people found this helpfulThere are two series in particular you might want to check out at the National Archives at College Park (Archives II).
The first is "Background Files to the Study 'The Capture of Attu,' 1944-1945" held within the textual branch of Archives II. You can contact them at Archives2reference@nara.gov
The second is the series "Photographic Scrapbooks of World War II Military Units, 1941-1945" held by the Still Pictures branch of Archives II. You can contact them at stillpix@nara.gov.
Additionally, I suggest you browse both the National Archives catalog, and the National Park Service's Aleutian World War II page which has some background information and photographs as well.

Re: Where can I find a photo related to the Battle of Attu?
Nancy Sandine Lamb Jun 26, 2017 6:03 AM (in response to Ann Abney)I highly recommend the NPS Aleutian WWii website. Besides technical details, it's full of oral histories of the young men (recorded and transcribed when they were in their 70s and 80s) from across the continental U.S. who found themselves out in the middle of the ocean experiencing weather, isolation, and comradery that affected the rest of their lives. Their personal photos are sometimes included.
