Ed Marsh, Mortar Platoon 4/12 Inf (M)

Ed Marsh was with the 4/12 Inf (M) Mortar Platoon there in Baumholder, FRG, and I've posted a photo of him over at the 1/39 Inf (M) web beacon.

LT Jim Lee, Grafenwoehr 1989

Here's another photo, this one from 4/12 Inf (M) in the field at Grafenwoehr (Summer 1989 if I've got that right):

Bruce's caption:

"Jim Lee on the left runs a maneuver range. He had a problem with deer wandering downrange during live fire. He had a range chart in the control tower with the scores of the different platoons and added a column for deer kills."

I'm pretty sure this one was taken after the redesignation from 1/39 Inf (M), where there's also a web beacon.

Last time I heard from Jim, he was headed off to Hawaii for an assignment as an LTC 'round about 2000.

4/12 Inf (M): Torbert, Whitmore, Keller

Yet another photo from the Van Hoozen archive. Here we see (from left to right) LT Doug Torbert, LT Eric Whitmore -- featured elsewhere here on the web beacon as Blue Elvis -- and Chaplain (CPT) Eric Keller. There was never a dull moment when any of these three guys was around, beginning, if memory serves, in 1988.

Although I've lost track of the first two, Chaplain Keller is now an LTC up at the Pentagon.

Warriors!

p.s. add your name to the roster now!

Roger Cole, 4/12 Inf (M) H D Smith Barracks

A couple of months back I was trying to remember Roger's last name, and Bruce Van Hoozen came through with a memory jogger and a photo. Here's a link to it over at the 1/39 Inf (M) web beacon.
