Neat photos. I served alongside the modern 23rd Infantry on active duty. I couldn't help but notice the photos and wonder why it's so common for older folks to write their names ON TOP OF original photos? I loved my grandmother very much but when she sent me a photo of one of her brothers in France in WW1, she'd written his name right over the top of two other guys with a ball point pen. My mother did the same thing with dozens of family photos she put into an album for me a few years ago. I just don't get that!
