12th Infantry, Baumholder FRG 1956 (!)
Hell, I didn't know this!
Walter Ekins' ever-fascinating USAREUR site tells us that the 2nd Battle Group of the 12th Infantry was in Baumholder with the 8th ID all the way back in 1956. That means they were there even before 1/39 Inf (M) arrived.
Well, you learn something new every day. Anyone out there from 1956, be sure to drop me a line.
By the way, please add your name to the roster now, if you haven't already. Like Johnny Cash, I'm building it one piece at a time . . . and in the next week or two I expect to have another posting with some fresh names and dates, as soon as I get this bad boy transferred into a proper database.
