Title: Norman Allen Langley (1905-1980) of Chicago
Post by: briankaess on Thursday 22 December 16 14:49 GMT (UK)
Photo of Norman Allen Langley (1905-1980). This photo may have been taken in the 1950's. Norman was married at least twice (to Thelma and Margaret) and his last wife was Margaret Jane Swartz (1914-1997). Norman lived on 1629 W. Hollywood Ave. in Chicago from at least 1976 until 1980. He was an avid pet lover who owned many cats and dogs. He also kept a model railroad in his basement. Norman would tell his step Grandchildren stories about WWII. He said he served in England and North Africa with the U.S. Army. He also said he was born in Canada.
  Looking for a brushup and date on the photo.

Just some additional info: Norman Allen Langley may have been a member of VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and the American Legion. He also may have had subscriptions to magazines such as Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Model Railroading. The latter was his hobby.

Hello,
Maybe someone could restructure an edited photo of Norm such that it is waist-high and he is standing normally in a pose in an American-style WWII Uniform. He served in England and North Africa as a GI if that helps. Thank you so much.

Attached is a photo of a relative of Norm's named Tom Jones (1965-2024). Could you please add a U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Uniform to the waist up on this person. Maybe you can sharpen up the features a little. The Uniform is from the Desert Storm era.
    Thank you for any help.
