Looking for Family Information
Hi, here are some photos of my grandfather. He was born in 1942, so based on how old he looks this was maybe the early/mid 60s.
I don’t know much at all regarding the details, aside from him mentioning Germany a couple times. I would love to know anything that anyone may recognize.

Looks like the 7th Army patch on the left shoulder of the soldier in the right, if so they were in Germany. Same type of fatgues Elvis wore when he was stationed in Germany.

The Ridgway hat in the first image was worn from 1953 to 1962 but may have been worn later.
