206thMP echos SonofanMP! Keep it going!

In today's vernacular: "You guys ROCK!"

Only wish we could all be with you having

Larry's right, we're enjoying every word!!

Ya, I agree. Wish we all lived closer and could go down to the local pub and sit and shoot the breeze and have a few together. That would make my day and my year.

Yes, keep the banter going. Because if it stops, then we are all in big trouble. As they say, make hay while the sun shines!

This photo ain't of any of you guys, but it's one of my faves.

This was taken in Italy, the 1108th Engineers. I have it as my desktop photo on my office computer, so I get to see it everyday. The guys on our left are having a good time, and they are laughing and grinning. God I wish I knew what they were sharing. It's a priceless photo.

Scond guy on left said "Whatta you mean - that wasn't me"(LOL)

Sgtleo

Hey Sarge he didn't say that. There wasan Italian gal walking by just passing the

guy who took the picture. All are grinning cause he was telling the other guy-------

----LOOK AT THE T---------S ON THAT GAL !!!!!! SARGE THINK POSITIVE. ROQUE

Roque:-

I am at the stage where I can still chase and eye the ladies but I'll be damned if

I can remember what to do if I catch one. Can you give me a clue??

This LCI was not taking us on a Whale Watching Trip:-

This is where they dropped us and went back to their ship and England:-

This is what the Krauts were planning to surprise and hurt us with:-

Didn't matter we got up the hill anyway and then made them sorry for being Badies!!

Lets face it guys, we can "chase", (look and wish ), but thats almost it anymore. Now back a while (60+ years

ago) in France and Germany, thats something different. When I was young and single. But thats a different story

left alone. And on return back home, thats another story left alone. Been happily married for over 57 years though..

Still unable to contact Russ Cloer (3-7-I Recon ) for about 2 years but figured his picture also belonged posted here.

Russ was Platoon Leader of the I&R Platoon 7th Inf Reg. Pic taken in the Colmar pocket, France during the '44-45

winter.. One of the worst winters in history in Europe.

Thanks for adding that one too. Now we have a formal pic of him and an informal pic. Greatly appreciated.

I miss him too!

Jim Hennessey sent these great photos to me from his personal collection. Happy to add them.

First one. Jim would you care to comment as I upload these?

Jim's reply:

The other GI is Harold Madsen another 87th GI from Eagle River Wisc. Photo taken at Army Hospital outside Paris 4-6-1945.---40th General Hospital.

Aha, I see I also have the back of the photos too. Now we know!

Next...
