The Robert Rust Collection consists of snapshots taken by Mr. Rust during WWII, miscellaneous photographs of his family, and other outdoor scenes. The WWII photographs consist of Rust and his friends, barracks life, places they were stationed overseas, destroyed equipment and buildings, and several graphic images from the Nordhausen concentration camp. Rust served in the 104th Division, 804th Ordnance Company as a .50 caliber machine gunman and driver of a tank retriever truck. After the war he and his wife Esther ran the Royal Bakery of Logan, Utah.

The identification of individual soldiers comes from Mr. Rust. When we were unsure of the spelling of a name we used the spelling given in unofficial rosters of the 804th Ordnance Company.
