Hi Jim, George is in London as far as I know, and I think he was in A Coy in the picture, the guy he is helping is, last name Aucoin.

Hello Don,

That picture was taken in Cyprus in 1970.All soldiers involved were from A Coy.A few of you might remember that they created what some called an instant Corporal Crse.It was presented in a series of OJT assignments.The guy that George Harris is talking to was named Aucoin.I can`t recall his first name but no relation to Eli.The guy in the right rear was I believe Mahoney.The other escapes me.
