Dixon21a.jpgMore Commo Dudes257 viewsA few more of our commo guys from HQ Batt in Duc Pho. On the left is "Philly" (from Philadelphia- we always called him "Philly"), PFC Hogan, Cpl Franklin and Sgt Ken Fogel (of Wis). Fogel was a great friend & stand-up guy to know if there ever was one. If you look verrrry closely you can see a sign just behind the tall head there that says "The Mighty Ninth 2/9th". There were two senior sergeants who oversaw the commo section and they slept in the hootch to the right of the photo with the carved supports. One of these was a Sgt Houston– the guy who'd always ask for "volunteers to go to Bn HQ". The other was a particularly disagreeable chap whose name I cannot recall.
