Back to music page

This is an aerial view of the end of an evening formation in the company area of the 4th Infantry Division Band and HQ Discom. Photo provided by Gene Horner.	L-R Spc5 Babione, Spc5 Porter, Spc5 Dennis "Doc" Rogers. Taken in the barracks on Camp Enari.	This is me, Spc5 William (Bill) Lathan imediately after returning from one of the sweeps the 4th Infantry Division Band participated in. The location is in front of the band barracks on Camp Enari.	Barracks C, most of the enlisted band members of the 4th Infantry Division Band were house in this barracks. Notice the blast wall of sandbags and the heavier blast barrier in front of door. These protected against near misses from enemy artillery. The location is on Camp Enari.
Spc5 Bill Lathan (me) at a change of command. I forget where. L-R Lindquist, me, unknown, Sgt. Carpenter. All members of the 4th Infantry Division Band.	I can't remember who these guys were. In fact, I don't remember them. The buildings and bunker are the band's company area on Camp Enari.	I think this photo was taken after I went home. The location is the Fortified Montenard Village mentioned above. This image was provided by Gene Horner.	This photo ran in Stars and Stripes (the U.S. Army newspaper). I am in there somewhere just in front of the conductor, C.W.O. Arthur Durham. This image was provided by Gene Horner.
L-R Spc Lamb and "Doc" Dennis Rogers. "Doc" didn't have any clean uniforms so he showed up for a formation in the buff. The laundry Mommasons had been fired. Few hated being in the Army as much as "Doc" did and he didn't mind showing it. The laundry women were eventually welcomed back and I suspect his antics sped things up a little.

Image provided by Gene Horner	This photo, taken by Gene Horner, is of a dog handler who went on a sweep with us. I don't think I was on this sweep. It may have been before my tour. Note the pride of the handler in having his dog's photo taken! Image provided by Gene Horner	Group shot of part of the chorus.

Harry Alson. If I remember correctly he came into the band late in my tour. Location is Camp Enari. He gets two images because shares my birthday. He was a year older than me.	Harry Alson, I think Harry passed away back in 2004 but I'm not absolutely sure. Photo taken in the 4th Infantry Division Band's barracks on Camp Enari.	This is me, Bill Lathan. This was taken in my squadleader's room in the band barracks. Camp Enari, Vietnam	This is James Charles Stark. He played clarinet in the band. He went on to become a serial rapist, kidnapper, child abuser and murderer. He was one of the earlier listings on the TV program "America's Most Wanted".
Dan King and James Charles Stark. Stark went on to become the most infamous member of the 4th Infantry Division's band...EVER. The location is the band's company area on Camp Enari. Dan was and is NOTHING like Stark.	Spc Jeff Gore listening to his stereo. The recordings on this site were done on the tape deck he's listening to. This was taken in the 4th Infantry Division Band's barracks on Camp Enari.	Kieth Moritz and some of the Montenards from the Fortified Village repairing our ammo bunker	Kieth Moritz and the Montenards again. The girl standing on the right side of the blast wall was named Ra (sp?). She was the daughter of the village Headman.
Bob Mowls. He played in the band and was also our company clerk.	The 4th Infantry Division Band's Showmobile. I don't remember anything about this and think it was taken after I went home. This image was taken from Stars and Stripes and was provided by Gene Horner (above).	Stanley Lindquist practicing his baritone sax. He was a fine musician. His name appears on several CDs as the baritone sax player. He is listed by Yahoo People as being in the NYC area. Would love to here from him if he sees this photo. Image provided by Gene Horner.	Stan Tekielak. He came to the band from and infantry outfit and held a C.I.B.. I think I took several posed shots for him to send home.
