Emil Ludwig Kasserne Darmstadt 1945
The  move from Salzburg Austria to Kassel Germany

Tommy Begley Killed on the Saratoga  1945

Brother Floyd (Rusty) Gudgel. On the USS carrier Lexington 1943. Sunk at the Battle of The Coral Sea.  23 out of the 25 in his gun crew were killed 
A few years ago just before moving to Adagio I met the other survivor who  was his Lt. battery commander. There had been an article in the Seattle Times about him. So I went to visit him.

I went back to Darmstadt in about 1984 and the Kasserne was still occupied by the US Army.  It was an AA Missile battalion then. Divarty when I was there
