4th Infantry Division Band Photos
"The terrible men with the green crosses.."

L>R SPC5 Babione, SPC5 Porter, SPC5 Dennis "Doc" Rogers. Taken on Camp Enari.	Touchette in "his" mail truck, SPC4 Frank Bearden walking toward building with Orderly Room and Supply Room (Bandmaster Durham's "other" Domain). Sandbags on roof helped hold down the metal in heavy wind and held a canvas "quickfix" of a big leak. Taken on Camp Enari.	SPC Jeff Gore listening to his stereo. Most of the recordings were done on the Sony 355 reel to reel deck he's listening to.. This was taken in the 4th Infantry Division Band's barracks on Camp Enari.	Barracks C, I think 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. Protected against near misses from enemy artillery. The location is on Camp Enari.
Henry Alson. If I remember correctly he came into the band late in my tour. Location is Camp Enari.	Henry Alson, I think his first name was Henry. Location is the 4th Infantry Division Band's barracks on Camp Enari.	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.	James Charles Stark went on to become a serial rapist, kidnapper, child abuser and murderer.
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".	Mowls. I can't remember his first name. He played in the band and was also our company clerk.	Stan Tekielak cleaning his rifle. Stan came to the band from an infantry rifle company due to an injury.
Stan Tekielak. Notice he is wearing a Combat Infantryman Badge on the right side of his shirt.	Stan Tekielak. I think I took these posed shots for him to send home.	The mail truck. The driver was a guy named Touchette. I think he was in the band. I forget his first name.	Frank Bearden walking toward the band's orderly room. The truck is Touchette's mail truck.
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 (above).	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 (above).	I can't remember who these guys were. In fact, I don't even recognize them. The buildings and bunker is the band's company area on Camp Enari.	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).

L>R McCarthy (?), Unkn, Leo warbington, Unkn, Kieth Moritz, Frank Bearden, Unkn, Jeff Gore, Unkn, Mowl (sp?) This image provided by Dan King	Some of the guys who were members of the 4th Infantry Division Band. This was taken in Jeff Gore's area of the barracks on Camp Enari. L>R Spc. Dan King, Spc. Frank Bearden, Spc5 William (Bill) Lathan, Spc. Jeff Gore.	Spc5 Lathan (me) at a change of command. I forget where. L>R Linquist (sp?), me, unknown, Sgt. Carpenter. All members of the 4th Infantry Division Band.
This is Stanley Lindquist practicing his baritone sax. He was a fine musician. I haven't kept up with him but I have seen his name as the baritone sax player on a couple of records. 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.	L>R Spc Lamb and "Doc" Dennis Rogers. I can't remember this incident but Doc didn't have any clean uniforms so he showed up for a formation in the buff. I think the laundry Mommasons had been fired. Anyway, few hated the Army like Doc did and he didn't mind showing it. Interestingly the Col. in charge of the Support Command saw it and thought it was funny. I can remember when the laundry women were welcomed back and suspect his antics had something to do with it. Photo provided by Gene Horner. Fig leaf added by Bill Lathan	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!
