Dear Michael,
Thanks for your quick response. I have searched his photos and found a
few names. There is one picture with the following names: "Bones" Hamilton,
Bob Taylor, Tipton (no first name), E.A. Gunderson, and Grover Forbes.
Grover Forbes is in a few of my dad's photos, including some taken in
Weisbaden, Germany after the surrender, Spring of '46.
There is a photo of a Lt. Sweeney, and although it is quite smudged, I
think the caption reads he was the Gunnery Officer of the 418th.
The last photo with names includes Sgt. Campbell, Sgt. Hoarse (or
Hoarre) and I think it is Sgt. Paul Buchanan. These are all smudged, but I
think those are correct.
This next week I will try to get these photos copied. If you would like
copies or for me to email them to you, please let me know. Some of them I
think you already have, such as aircraft in the sky, but if you want any of
the others, let me know.
Thanks again for your research, Jeff Hale
