Starlin H. Hughes and Friends
Do you know these men? If so, please contact Vincent Z. Whaley at tributes@whaley-computer-consulting.com.
To the right, pictured left to right are unknown man, unknown man, and Pfc. Starlin H. Hughes. This photograph was possibly taken in England, due to the Quonset hut in the background.



Starlin Harry Hughes, Vincent Z. Whaley's grandfather, served with the 47th "Raiders" Infantry Regiment in the 9th "Octofoil" Infantry Division during World War II. Hughes served in seven of the 9th Infantry Division's eight campaigns.

Following my grandfather's death on June 11, 1994 — exactly 50 years to the day when he stepped ashore Utah Beach in Normandy, France — I began researching his wartime steps and interviewing veterans for a book on the 9th Infantry Division during World War II.

While my grandfather could never speak of his role in the Second World War, I sent copies from his photo collection during the war to several veterans in the hopes they could help me identify the men in the pictures.

I am still attempting to identify the men in the following photographs and obtain more information about their relationships with my late grandfather, Starlin H. Hughes.

If you or your family recognize any of the men in these photographs, please contact Vincent Z. Whaley at tributes@whaley-computer-consulting.com. Thank you!
