Wayne sent his thanks for the picture of his uncle, Robert L. Nichols. The man on the dance floor with the number 2 written on the picture is his uncle but the other picture of the three men with the 160th sign was not. These pictures were taken at a first anniversary celebration of the 160th Engineer Combat Battalion. I am not positive but I believe that this celebration took place at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Notice that the picture has a stamp in the lower left corner that is an Army Signal Corps stamp. The picture has good detail and will stand some cropping to identify some of the other dancers. This picture came to my Dad by way of his friend, Oscar G. Anderson. O.G. was obviously a friend of Robert L. Nichols too. Dad received these pictures some years ago when O.G. passed away. He was a good friend of my Dad and his wife Lucille sent them to him. I am not sure about the time and place of this first anniversary celebration. I would like some input from anyone who has pictures taken at this event or knows for sure when the160th was avtivated. Can anyone identify any of the other dancers or the three men by the sign? Thanks for the support and encouragement from Marion and the other members. Hope this is interesting to someone with 160th ties.
