Richard Brookshire's photos

The following are selected images from SFC [Ret.] Richard Brookshire's time in the 143rd Signal Battalion, 3AD.  These images are historically significant in that they cover the early days at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, the overseas journey on the William O' Darby, and Pvt. Brookshire's adventures in Frankfurt.
