Hi Rick
I believe that would be Gen. Simmons ( an good tank man).Was too young for WW2, but did hear of some of his exploits.

Hi Rick
What year was this picture taken?It must be after 1966,because the last time before i got out,Charlie Wilson was a S/Sgt and if the R.S.M. if it,s John Juteau (R..I.P.) was a C.S.M. in A Coy.Last time I seen John we were umpires in Bde exercize in Germany.He could sure cook up wild mushrooms and taught me how to distinguish the edibles from the poisonous.(which I,ve long forgotten).Be patient with me if I,m wrong Rick as I have Macula degeneration and it,s hard for me to distinguish faces.By the way, had the greatest of pleasusres in a long talk with Mookie and Gene Madore at 2002 re-union.I feel I was so lucky to have seen them both and talk with them after all those years.Another loss of two fine Royals.I know you and Mook were best of Buds. Take care Rick and I sure enjoy remincing all of lyour pictures,brings back a lot of fine memories.

Hi Rick
I wanted to let you know I feel a little embarassed about not identifying K.D. as the R.S.M. You know when I first looked at it,I thought my that looks like Karl but chalked it up as an officer with my eyesight.But I did heve a lengthy chat with Karl and Ted Slaney at 2002 re-union.Was a civvy when that picture was taken.
