Question? Great Grandfathers Photo Album, Seeking Info

[drb1996]

I was never able to meet my great grandfather but I do have a photo book full of photos he took during his time in the 101st during WWII. I have been able to identify many locations in photos that he has but I am not sure on these. His details of action that I have show that he was involved with the landings at Utah Beach as well as involvement in Holland and the Siege of Bastogne. I am taking my first trip to Europe next month and would love to try to find some of these locations. I know there is not much to work with here but I just wanted to reach out to see if anyone could help me identify any of these areas/landmarks? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
