Thomas Stathes and the 39th Inf PR Staff, Rosenheim 1946

Here is something very interesting from Thomas Stathes, via his son Peter.  It's the Regiment's AAAO newspaper staff (ie 39th Infantry Public Relations Staff). This is from February 1946, taken in Rosenheim, Bavaria, Germany. By way of reference, that's about 30 clicks west of the old Chiemsee AFRC (Armed Forces Recreation Center), which will be remembered by those of us who served in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s!

Mr Stathes is on the bottom row second from the right. . . .

. . .  and this is the sort of view these fellows would've had on weekends:

 

Peter, thanks for passing along that original photo. Amazing to think how far we've all come, and how times have changed, yet still these memories remain.

AAAO!
