Correct Pete - Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain of the 20th Maine.
Medal of Honor recipient for his actions on Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg.
I don't think the other pic is old enough to be the senior McArthur. The older McArthur was a Civil War vet and I am putting that pic circa early 1900s. Plus the clue said same AO for father and son. I am 99% sure that Stormin Normin lived in the Middle East with his family when he was young.

Time for a hint
Here is another pic of the young paratrooper that I posted yesterday. This one was taken in Japan in 1946. That guy later went on to do some science fiction writing.
Who is it?

Pete......you are correct sir.
That is indeed Arthur MacArthur. Both he and Douglas spent alot of time in the P.I. and in Japan. In fact that pic of Arthur was taken as he was in stationed in Japan.
Sorry 112th.

Hey Guys,
I'm not goggling this but just going off the top of my head. There was a number of individuals in this area of WW II that went on to be famous. Lee Marvin, Rod Sterling, Mr Rogers, Capt K etc.

Well done Pete
Dang - I hate being wrong...I had deduced (incorrectly) that it couldn't be MacArthur.
Also, you are right (mostly) about the pic I posted. It is Rod Serling (not Sterling).
Lastly, googling is not a bad thing. I think if you google Mr. Rogers you will find he is not a veteran and Cpt. Kangaroo was a Marine but post WWII era.
Big day for me.... son left for Pineland and daughter just went into labor with first Grandbaby. You know you are getting old when exciting things are happening and all you can do is sit around, watch and wait.

Good guess, but no. This is the earliest picture I could find of LTG Yarborough, as commander of the 509th in WW2, and it was too small for a "who am I".

We already did MG Frederick in this thread, and you got him  .
MG Frederick did receive two DSCs, as did the person shown in the official photo (however, the list of WW2 DSC recipients I have does not show the second award).
By the way, I doubt there exists a photo of Frederick in dress blues as a BG. He was only a BG for a short period during wartime, so he probably never sat for a photo in blues. This photo dates from the late 1950s, as the person pictured was promoted to BG on December 31, 1956, when he was Assistant Divisional COmmander of the 82nd Airborne.
