Alfred Powell, Bravo Company 1/39 Inf (M) 1981-1984: More Photos

For your viewing entertainment, here are some photos sent to me by Alfred Powell, who served with Paddy's Gang in the early-to-mid 1980s. Just before my time, which means that all these places were home to me, although the construction had come on a bit more by 1986.

H D Smith Kaserne, down the hill to the main gate

 1/39 Inf  motorpools, new and old

K Street, I'm told -- but where is K Street? Over with 4/29 FA? Or with the MLRS units behind the BOQs. Advice, please. . . .

Looks like the east end of Baumholder's Hauptstrasse to me. . . .

Another lovely view of H D Smith Barracks.













Alfred -- thanks once again for sharing these.

AAAO!

Glen Bridges, 3rd Platoon Alpha Co 1987

A while ago I heard from Glen Bridges, who was in 3rd Platoon Alpha Co with me back in '87.  Walked many a mile together while serving with the 1st Battalion, 39th Infantry in Baumholder and Hohenfels:

Bridges Glen E. A co 1/39 Inf 86- 90.
If memory serves me right, you were my first PL.
I was in 3rd Plt. 2nd sqd. SSG Eck's Happy Campers.
