Thanks for the background info. I see lots of wartime pix with no captions and it is very nice to get down on ground level with names, dates, circumstances, and units.

Why do I think that CPL Corley and PFC Miles might have an issue with the use of "tasty treat" in the caption?

Yep, years of post war basic training and other uses sure put mileage on the wood.
