Honor Guard, 43rd Inf Div, 1954
(Source: Lou Spruill)
This is a picture taken at an Honor Guard Platoon Banquet to which the Commanding General and his staff were invited and attended in early 1954. The gentleman in cilivian clothes at the center is General Partrige. To his left is 1st Lt Felt, the Platoon Leader. To his left is the Asst Div Commander (do not remember his name). To Gen. Partridges' right is the Div Chief of Staff (I do not recall his name either). The affair took place in a bar that we GI's frequented. Interestingly, the individual to the left of the female in the back row was a Corporal Von Bredow who was allegedly a grandson of Otto Von Bismark. Bredow had emigrated to the US and was drafted into the Army.
