DURING A RECON BY THREE OF THE JEEPS FROM THE GROUP THEY CAME UPON GEN. TAYLORS HQ, NEAR THE VILLAGE OF HIESVILLE, I THINK.

THE LADY OWNER KINDLY ALLOWED US TO ENTER ,AND, REFRESHMENTS WERE HANDED AROUND.

'BABE', BOTTOM RIGHT WAS ABOUT 12 THEN !! COKE ONLY.

my first thought when I saw Babe in the photo was 'good grief he looks like a baby' - that was before I read the names LOL

PJO, THIS WAS 'BABE' WHEN HE FIRST APPEARED AT OUR GROUP DISPLAY, I THINK HE WAS 10 OR 11 THEN. ALL HIS GEAR WAS MADE TO SCALE BY HIS RELATIVES

What a picture! Sure was a beautiful child and looked so happy to be a part of it all.

How adorable! What a real cutie! It's great to see that he was into something with real essence and history at such a young age. That is inspiring.

 

His relatives sure put a lot of work into his uniform too.
