A friend of me has got this painting in his backyard. We would like to know if there is anybody who knows who the guy on both pictures is? We will give you the correct answer on a later time. If you have any information about him you can post it too.

Good luck,

Frank

HM!
Charles Bronson witouth mustache?!

Could be Jake Mc Neice, he of the filthy 13 notoriety.

No it is not Jake McNeice but, as you can see, it is another member of the filthy thirteen.

New member "dutchie" meant to post this, but instead sent a report to the Moderating Staff:


Hello Frenkie, I'l know who the men is on the picture!!

Hey Dutchie. Than give us the answer.

No, Jack Agnew is not the correct answer.

Clarence C.Ware and Charles R. Plaudo

Thomas E Lonegran?

Frank,

Yes you guess I could say I am a Filthy 13 fan, I have the book, and I've met Jake and Jack.

Sgt Thomas E "Old Man" Lonegran was a section leader and was from Bakertown PA. He jumped second out of the C47 behind Lt Mellen, was injured on landing, hid for 15 hours in a hedgerow before being captured by the Germans. At the moment of capture the German wanted to shoot him, but Lonegran (who spoke some German) convinced the soldier not to shoot. He was freed two days later when American troops liberated the aid station
