On Duty In Occupied Germany

(This unidentified formation photo may have been taken at Frankfurt am Mein when the 508th marched as the Presidential Honor Guard.. Note the web belts and rifles. Barger appears in front enlisted rank, closest to the camera.)		  
(Apparently taken the same day as photo on the left, perhaps prior to marching. Note that web belts and rifles are still in evidence. Barger is on one knee, front row, 7th from right.)

(This is a somewhat different group but taken on the same day as those displayed above, The men have been identified, with just a few questionable, thanks to the efforts of Carl Porter and Heimer Swanson)
