Photo submitted by THE Pfc. Franklin Quel above. Mr. Quel said that all the brothers made it back safely and at a higher rank as well. Dated 1/5/12

The left side of the scan submitted has been cut off so this will be as close as can be determined:

"Mrs. George Quel (Mary Collins Quel ed. note), who lives at 2214 Almont Street, is very proud of her five sons in service. She has chosen the Sun-Telegraph "Our Boys Honor Roll" as a mean of expressing her devotion to her sons in the Army. Tomorrow the five pictures will be published, side by side, and will carry to the boys the greetings of their mother. Willard is a lieutenant; Jack a Sergeant and Walter, Franklin and Raymond are privates first class."

Pfc. Walter Quel - Army

Pfc. Franklin Quel - Army Air Corps

Note: A sixth brother Charles R. Quel also served in the Army Air Corps from March 17, 1943 to December 25, 1945, South Pacific
