'Soldier's Eye' runs through Dec. 19

American Cemetery by Irving Shapiro

"A Soldier's Eye: Europe 1944 -- Photographs by Irving Shapiro" runs though Dec. 19 in the Mandeville Gallery.

In 1944 Irving Shapiro of Glens Falls was a soldier in the midst of the Second World War. But he was also a man with a camera, and the photographs he took during the first months after the Normandy invasion are a remarkable record of the people and places he encountered in that period of turmoil and upheaval.

Also on exhibit are artifacts and images of Union College's experience with on-campus Navy officer training during the later years of WWII, known as the V-12 Program, featuring research by Jeff Roffman '05.
