Pat,

I messed up!  I misidentified the enlisted men.  This makes your 'close ups' wrongly identified as well.  I will make the corrections to this image, but leave the close ups to you.  Tony"    tonystro    RE:Eugene T. Wozniak Collection

Tony,

This photo is a bit odd--For example, the guy on the back right has ""zhongwei"" written on his jacket, which is rank of Lt. or 1st Lt.    The guy on the front right also has ""zhongwei"" written on his jacket. I am working on figuring out what names are written on both their jackets.  Very odd.  Pat"    pat    RE:Eugene T. Wozniak Collection
