Lost my detailed notes and photos of Jack Evans service career in a PC crash several years ago, but these are my  scratch notes on his service.  He commanded a AAA unit attached to the 2nd Armored Division from Normandy to Germany, and a AAA and FA Battalion in Korea.  He was the commander of the 82nd Divisional artillery in 1965.   NOTES - not detailed, nor in order so if someone wishes to fill in the blanks I'd be obliged.   Father, Jack Cecil Evans, Colonel, CAC   JACK CECIL EVANS, O-23517 Graduated UC Berkeley 1939 2nd Lt Reserves CAC, Economics. 2nd LT 65th CAC 1939     Second Lieutenant Jack C.

Collins   Recently the 15th AAA AW Bn (SP), organic to the 7th Infantry Division in Korea, has undergone an intensive training program in preparation for ATT44-3. To prepare for the AAA Firing Phase of the test with so many new men, Lt. Co!. Evans devised a plan to use a second lVII8 sight, mounted adjacent to the primary sight on the M16 sight bar, as a means of checking each gunner's ability to use "image spin" in tracking aerial targets.   To mount this sight an additional bracket is placed on the sight bar !-2" to the left of the primary sight bracket with the machined clamp up. The auxiliary sight is then rotated upward and to the rear before being inserted into the bracket. Normal procedures are then employed to orient the primary sight and to boresight the guns. Following orientation, the hub of the primary sight is placed upon the orienting point and the auxiliary sight is then oriented on the same point by use of the orienting cam screws and locking bolts until the auxiliary sight is oriented with both the primary sight and the guns.   The gunner is then instructed to track the aerial target employing "image spin" to gain proper line, correct lead. The instructor is enabled to check each gunner and verify that he is employing the proper techniques by means of the auxiliary sight.   This system provided a rapid and effective means of training the gunners, and the improvement was reflected in the AAA Firing conducted at Inchon in September.

Here is the version I have in my collection. It seems to fit the diagram that another member posted a while ago. Their collection contained both variants and they had what looked to be a full set.

10 4! Thank you!

This is one of the first radium markers I got in my collection. During WW2, the Navy employed Type 1 and Type 3 luminous markers on boats serving as deck and personnel markers. This is the Type 1 variant, which is essentially just the clip-on type of marker missing the clip. These Type 1 disks were fitted with a metal ring on the back with two screws. These rings would be welded to bulkheads to hold the marker on. By 1951, the Navy had switched to Strontium-90 based luminous markers to replace the dangerous dose rates from radium. From the information I have gathered, the last year radium markers were produced was 1954 before fully switching to Sr-90. This specific disk is missing the screws and bulkhead ring on the back. It was likely removed off the ship and kept by a soldier. The phosphor inside the plastic housing has sadly broken up in spots. This marker is very weak radiation wise compared to others I have seen. Currently, this is the only Type 1 deck marker I have in my collection.

Hoodwinks is probably his unit's newspaper. Most units had similar publications they circulated on a semi regular basis, especially in occupation. 

Yes, it's kind of funny how one small object can have such significant background information attached to it.  That information was hiding all that time until you posted that little tag on the forum, so thank you for posting it and bringing this soldiers service to the forefront.  I don't remember seeing too many inter-war period dog tags on the forum so that was great to see.  As far as being able to find any information about anything it's all about that first time finding out how to do something.  We all just need a little help initially and we're good to go and to help others.  There are many great and knowledgeable people on this forum that are more than willing to help anyone.  This is one of the best forums ever!  So, you're very welcome and you've certainly conveyed your appreciation to me for which I am grateful.  Take care and if you need or want any further assistance on how to search for information feel free to PM me.  Take care...Matt

These are great images.  I absolutely love this campaign.  I find it one of the most fascinating aspects of the war.  I have been trying to get a relic from here and every time I come close, I miss it by a few seconds or views.  Thank you for sharing these wonderful images!
