Bob Reed of the Launching Area with Ruthie, who operated the small PX on the first floor across from the canteen. Ruthie was, I think, from Niederhofen.
Ruthie was a sweetheart and a very good natured person.
Originally Herr Martin was the battery tailor, but when he died his wife took over his position.
She is remembered as a very sweet and hard working lady, and would tailor our uniforms with great skill and quality.
A tailored set of Khakis always looked and felt good to wear.
Willie was a great guy and a good barber.
He was always friendly and ready for a good joke.

I am assuming that it's just a Battery Inspection. It seems that if it was Battalion it would have been mentioned.
