<strong>The</strong>re are a few pictures of me, a few Marines and Army men all together in our area. Mostly Christmas day and<br />
night 1952 spent together. We were Marines with the Salvage & Grave Registration. and the Army men were with<br />
Army Graves Registration. A lot of the men I forgot their names until I read the back of the pictures. It has been<br />
about 49 years ago. We had a good time with these guys and we all got along pretty good together. So if anyone<br />
sees their picture in these photos, please call or write to me. (See address and telephone number above.<br />
