69th AAA Group, 1955-56 (Source: Jim Reinecke) Group photo, Hq Battery, 69th AAA Group. The picture must have been taken either in late 1955 or early 1956, at that time our unit designation was "South AAA Group". The people in the photo are: Back row: Cpl McVickar, Sp3 Cosmo, Sp3 Jimenez, PFC Parks and PFC Croft. Front Row: Sp3 Reinecke (Me), Sp3 Cote, Sp3 Dean, SFC Dobson, Cpt Maguire, SSG Unk, Sgt Barfield, SSG Unk, and Sp3 Arehart. The specialist rankings were really new at that time and E-4's were designated SP3's, E-5's SP4, etc. All of the people except the CO Captain Maguire, were original members of the unit when we activated in January 1955.
