The picture of the signpost was one of the 1944 shots I found on the internet. The other two were suppled by Ray Spann. The sign shows the insignia of the military units at the time. The Headquarters US Army old "Griffin" insignia is shown on the left. Pictured in the shot showing the filling station in the background is Gene Tapp of Greer, South Carolina who was a buddy of Ray's. The other photo shows Gene Tapp standing behind barracks 519. These shots were from spring of 1960. The barracks behind 519 was my barracks and I believe the number was 520. The building opposite with the two open doors was the day room. I had a hard time remembering the layout of the buildings and when I saw these pictures my memory was enhanced significantly.
