MESSAGE BOARD

A BRIEF HISTORY

We spent a year at Camp Hulen, Texas, about five months at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, and did manuevers in Tennessee. Some went to Camp Rucker, Alabama. Then "A Battery" went to Fort Benning, Georgia for a month. The rest of the Bn. came up for an exercise that lasted for a few days. Then all went back to Camp Rucker, then to Fort Bliss, Texas, then to California for deployment to Luzon, then on to Japan.

We have an annual reunion, and we would like to have as many of the original crew and/or their relatives attend.

We would also like to hear from anyone else who was associated with this unit.

US ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNNER

A US soldier, wearing a kimono as a beach robe and holding an umbrella to shield himself from the sun, grasps the end of an anti-aircraft gun at an unidentified Pacific outpost in 1943.
