believed to have been taken in Sissonne, all men are
unidentified except Jose Barrena [kneeling, left front].
although undated, it may have been taken in January 1946 when the

[l-r,
standing] Knapp, Payet, Hernandez was written
on this photo. No entry was made for those kneeling.
It is known that John Payet [center] was in B Company. There
was also a Sgt William F. Knapp in that same company so it is presumed
that he is the man on the left. By the same token, the man standing
on the right should be Pfc Frank R. Hernandez, also of B Company.
