A couple of years ago, at an estate sale, I bought two scrapbooks loaded with pics plus a nice assortment of other items. All of these items belonged to James W Treece, a member of Co D, 757 MP Battalion.

 

Included was a good grouping of dog tags. He was the company clerk and must have made the dog tags for the unit as he had just about every version used in WW2. I have previously posted these here:

So far I have edited the pics of insignia, ID cards and stateside posts and training. I still need to edit and post the pics of his unit history and then I can start taking pics and editing his overseas items.

This section covers his personal pics taken in the US during training. There are records to indicate he was at three locations and I am not sure which pics are from which location.

 

The three locations are:

 

Camp George West, CO

Jefferson Barracks, MO (St Louis)

Ft Leonard Wood, MO

Very cool group and shots, Craig. Thanks for posting them.

 

I especially liked the two shots of the 1/2 ton and 3/4 Dodge Carryalls. (My favorite ride.)

 

Those guys gambling in the latrine better watch out or the MPs will be all over them for violation of Army Regs. Wait a minute, those guys ARE the MPs!!!!
