Hi folks!

I'm not even sure what you do or what this photo is - but my dad was in
Company A of the 3184th Signal Service battalion, and several years
after he died we found the attached photo - the contrast has been
enhanced a bit to help legibility.  He always bragged that he was a
communications expert in the way (his discharge papers say "installer
repairman") and you can see the huge cables coming out of the hole in
the photo - so when I came across your website, while researching his
involvements  during the war, I thought you might find the photo useful.

He also said that the only time he experienced "combat" was when he
needed a bit of wiring and tried to steal the doorbell from some
civilian's home - the owner chased him away with shots overhead.

Hope the photo is of some use - thanks for your website.
