Your great uncles lack of conversation about the time I think is not uncommon. It was not until the last 7 years I was able to get my dad to talk about it. Thanks for the point to the pictures I grabbed one and sent it to my dad to see if he remembers him. Do you know what his job was? My dad was a breachman on gun #2. We only know of one other survivor from battery C.
Even with all the data I have collected, I do not know his exact job. I believe Irv was a driver. In the training photos he had his surname written as a “license plate” on the front of the truck, but that is only a guess. If your dad remembers any names in the photos, that would be amazing.

I find you blog most interesting as my dad was in the 914th company C along with your family member.
Wow that is really cool. It’s a long shot, but be sure to also check the photos I posted in case you might find your father in them: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rkcarl/albums/72157635414389388
