292 ECB Company C

Black and White panoramic

 

 

 

 

Hello everyone and apologies for the delay in reporting back on the Company C panoramic. The print shop did an excellent job, I am most pleased with the quality and I believe everyone else will be too. The only regret here is that I agreed to have them restore it to a true black and white, which gives it a different appearance next to the Company A panoramic. If I was to be granted a "do over" I would not have had that done, so the two pictures would probably have appeared very similar. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it's all good, at least we have it. Of course the image above is not the high resolution one, but it is better than the ones I had posted previously. I still have to post the high resolution image on a photo storage site. As soon as I have done this I will post the details on how to view the image and how you can get a printed copy if you would like one. I already have had a printed copy made and plan to donate this item to the new Camp Butner Museum. It would be nice to find the H&S and B Company pictures sometime in the future. Have a good one everybody!

Randy,

 

My friend... never apologize for doing your best in trying to assist others. We all appreciate what you are doing and thank you for it. This is a huge step in the continuing effort to document the unit and the men who served in it. A free Google account will get you 15gb of free storage. With this you can upload the image and then post a link that allows access to the image of C Company to individuals or to anyone depending on your preference. As an example, here is a link to the A Company image from my Google Drive space:

Great job donating to the Camp Butner folks. They are fledgling and any assistance that can be provided is so important. An update on the Earl Haughton IDPF... well, after a year I got a hold of someone last week and was told the file was 24 pages, scanned and sitting in their system. Why it was not sent out is a mystery. I was told it would be sent out that afternoon or the next day. Knowing the volume of request they have, I gave them the rest of the week, but still have not seen it. I called back and left a message and am currently waiting for a call back. Clearly, patience is a virtue, but this is a bit frustrating. I will continue pursuing it and let you know as things start to move forward. Incidentally, the Charles Crawford IDPF should be available as soon as I get done wrestling with them about it. Randy, did you ever get a chance to put in a request for the IDPF for Millard Weaver who died on Jan 1, 1945? I received a document recently that leads me to believe that he died in some kind of accident (see note in Jan 6th entry of attached image).

 

We'll keep digging and our noses to the grindstone to continue to answer the questions we have.
