| T/5 Craven receives a Valentine Cake while his buddies await their rewards. T/5 Cravens is at the far left. Others are L-R Resnick, Michaelson, Douglas, Needles, Smith, Summers, Dickeman. I have not been able to identify their unit but I think it was the 363rd Medical Bn. Any one out there know which unit these men were in? |
