Vincent L. Rossi was killed in South Vietnam<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bad news, they say, travels fast. That may be true in most cases, but in the case of SFC. Rossi, it took 45 years for this blog to receive the news of his death. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sixteen of us arrived in Taipei in June of 1968. Our duty station was at the Punched Paper Tape Relay Station on Grass Mountain, north of Taipei. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shortly after we began our duties, an E-7, Sergeant First Class Vincent L. Rossi, Sr., his wife and children arrived in Taipei. SFC Rossi had no idea what he was in for. Assigned as his responsibilities, our antics kept him off-guard and provided him with many headaches. </span></span></span><br />

Whoa! I was certainly 22 back in 1968, but now am staring 70 right in the eye. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That would make Vietnam Era vets in their 50s, 60s, 70s and some 80s. Korean vets are in their 80s mostly and WW2 vets are in their 90s if not the century mark. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kent Mathieu, who runs the taipeiairstation blog, has talked with me and others about how old our viewership is getting. Fortunately, we have wives and dependents of servicemen who served in Taiwan which gives us a much younger audience. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the years to come, some folks will blog about Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. The beat goes on.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is my second letter from the government ordering me and millions of others to report for active duty in the military.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Previously, we received the letter from President LBJ inviting us to take mental and physical exams in preparation for induction. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was here in Ft. Jackson, SC that the friendly sergeants smiled as they welcomed us into the Army. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the next week, we all remembered some things and forgot others because of sleep deprivation. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We took tests, received gear, became inoculated, got a 50 cent haircut, 2 pairs of glasses for us hard-to-see guys, and an introduction to KP. I became a back sink specialist. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, our names were called and the split into two groups for basic training. The first group stayed at Ft. Jackson and the second group piled into buses and took the ride down to Ft. Gordon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Only seven more weeks to go in basic training with an immediate Christmas leave assigned which cleaned out Fort Gordon of as many of the soldiers and civilians as possible. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1956, Camp Gordon became Fort Gordon, and the major areas of the fort remained pretty much the same by the time the Vietnam Era began around 1960-62.</span><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This map with the colored sections is divided into areas that I am sure of. Although Fort Gordon became a big signal school center, I honestly don't remember the location of the buildings. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The red section is the basic training area, with the 25 meter firing range to the left. Dozens upon dozens of barracks full of basic trainees lived here. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The orange area is the training area for the Officers' Signal Corps. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The purple section is the MP area including what was highlighted during the Korean War. It also includes Brems Barracks, not shown on the map above. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The green circle is the hospital which was built in 1941 and was still being used 30 years later.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To the best of my knowledge, this is how the areas from the 1956 map would look when transposed onto a present-day photo of Fort Gordon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I need much input from soldiers who were there during this period who know for sure the locations of the buildings where they received their training. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a good indication of what was going on at the Fort in 1962. The MP and Signal Schools were established and the 3rd Army basic training area was also up and running. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For certain this was a basic combat training area. The 25 meter range was within walking distance of our Company. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other ranges and bivouac areas are further west. </span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, west of here was Camp Crocket and the series of popular lakes.</span> <span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is our old basic training area. In the yearbook, I jotted down the corner of 15th Street and 6th (Barnes) Avenue.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today it looks as though there are two settling ponds for some use where two of the four barracks once stood. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you can follow the thin red line from 15th Street down through the green area and up to the gray area, you will see the footpath that went steeply down, then across an open area. It then climbed up the hill on the other side to the back of the enlisted men's club. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We only knew about this because once we got into basic training for real, several guys went AOL every day and then would show up at the barracks at night to stay warm and get some food from guys who had relieved the Army of excess chow.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This went on until the guys either came back on their own to face the consequences, or else came back with an MP escort to make sure justice would be served. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This could have been our company. The two barracks at the top right of the picture are facing two more barracks across the grounds. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The single story building next to the barracks is the combination day room, rifle room, and offices. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The building to the left of the day room was the mess hall where we all got the chance to prepare and serve three meals each day, GI the floors after each meal and prepare for the next day's breakfast. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have never knowingly eaten real bacon since my back sink days of scrubbing grease from the bacon pans.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To the left of the mess hall was the bedding and linens building where our laundry was picked up and returned. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every piece of laundry was identified by first letter of your last name and the last four digits of your i.d. number. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lined up perfectly are tents and equipment in preparation for bivouac which meant spending a week in the field, getting lost in the forests and trying not to get wet or sick. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, the main purpose of this picture is to show the two huge buildings in the background. The first is the process-in process-out building and the second was a coal burning building for storage of large equipment and machinery.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The entire basic training area was heated by individual furnaces and hot water heaters which burned coal as well. Soot was everywhere including up your nose and in your ears.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The highlight of my bivouac week was my time digging a 1x1x1 cathole latrine with the entrenching tool at the right. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instead of using the bivouac latrines in the middle picture, many did not want to use the ones that had toilet seats screwed into plywood. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the evening there was plenty of lime to make my place as sanitary as possible. It was time to myself out in the field with nobody missing my presence.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All attempts were made to contact this company since they have the rights to the pictures used in this book, but we had no luck finding them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since they are receiving credit for the rights to the pictures, there should be no problem because we are not making any money on this publication. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the last day of basic training, we cleaned our rifles until buses arrived to take us to the airport or the Greyhound station for AIT.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Many of us stayed at Ft. Gordon for signal school or MP school. Those of us who were to attend 72B signal school were given the short ride from15th Street and 6th Avenue to our new barracks on 23rd Street and 5th Avenue. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This would be our home for the next 8 weeks. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;">The gray block of buildings you see between 23rd and 25th Streets was nothing but an empty field back in 1968. Today it is a center of training and remembrance for the Signal Corps. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">All Signal Corps training was moved from Ft. Monmouth, NJ to Ft. Gordon beginning in the 1970s and continuing until 2010.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before the entire signal corps moved to Fort Gordon, the USASESS signal corps school had 18 different MOS positions being taught to 8500 personnel. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The longer training programs for technical control soldiers and those involved in microwave relay continued to be taught at Ft. Monmouth until a gradual relocation of the entire signal school training starting in the 1970s. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Vietnam Era is about as accurate as body counts in any war, but it is either 1960-1975 or 1962-1975. The combat itself lasted over 8 years, which roughly starts it in 1964 and ends in 1972. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In other words, was it going to be abandoned? </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Both were finished training soldiers for combat and had the mission of discharging soldiers from active duty. Around 86,000 were discharged after WW2. POWs were repatriated.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 1946, Camp Gordon had the task of jailing American servicemen who had committed felonies during the war. Does anyone know which area of Gordon was used for this task? </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, within a few months in 1948, the 545th MP School was transferred from Carlisle Barracks, PA to Camp Gordon and a signal school was established in Camp Gordon, relieving the burden on Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The signal school would soon become the USASESS or Southeastern Signal School.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This, along with a civilian affairs school gave credence to the future existence of the WW2 temporary camp near Augusta. Camp Gordon had a future established. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">This may be either the first or one of the first graduating classes from basic MP School. Before leaving Georgia, the MP School graduated over 150,000 MPs.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Chances are that if you became an MP, you had your training at Camp Gordon after 1948. This class graduated in 1954.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The dollar price alone was staggering, but victory was achieved. Then, just as we were coming out of another recession, the rumblings began in Korea. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines were needed again in such a short time span. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The positives that were created before and during the Korean War were the total racial integration of the Armed Forces, the creation of the United States Air Force as a separate branch of the service. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also the pay scale for men and women in the service of their country was equal. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There were about 700 POW camps with about 425,000 prisoners in total. Most prisoners were German.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Camp Gordon, Georgia was no exception. Look at this tape </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCdtD1jwi2U"><span style="background-color: #3d85c6; color: blue;">HERE</span></a><span style="color: #274e13;"> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Between 2,000 and 4,000 prisoners were assigned to each camp or fort and they worked in the fields, highways, county roads and beautification of the grounds.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After the war, most POWs were reunified with their countries. Surprisingly, thousands of Germans, once repatriated, made requests to return to the U.S. in order to start a new life. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Being in the United States as a POW was far more livable than those who became POWs of the Russians. About 3.5 million Germans became prisoners of the Russians and, of those, about 381,000 died. </span></span></span><br />

Gordon. This posting has some information about building the second Camp Gordon.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In early 1941, months before Pearl Harbor, word came from Washington D.C. to begin constructing another military facility in Georgia.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You might believe in conspiracy theories, coincidence, or irony. Regardless, the timing of this order is very curious.</span></span></span> <span style="color: #274e13;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Eastern Georgia, not the Atlanta area, was to have this Army camp built. That's right, another cantonment camp which are usually temporary.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Construction began on a site of over</span></span><span style="color: #274e13;"> 50,000 acres of land about 15 miles west of Augusta. It covered parts of four counties, mainly Richmond.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Built at an accelerated pace, another Army basic training facility was going up. It had several similar characteristics to that of Camp Gordon of WW1.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">First, the name was no surprise. It was taken from mothballs, cleaned up and presented to the public.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">This Army camp was to be known as Camp Gordon, west of Augusta, Ga.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Arguably, Georgia's greatest General during the Civil War, it made sense to use General Gordon's name again.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Because of the relative speed at which the camp was built, not many pictures of the construction are available. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was estimated that at the height of the building going on at all of the Army forts and camps in America, one building was completed every 45 minutes. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those of us who served during the Vietnam War Era would attest to the quality of these wooden structures. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #274e13;">The money was to be used to build a driving range and putting green for the enlisted men. It, indeed, was constructed near the southern section of the camp.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #274e13;">So, here we have another temporary hospital being built inside the new Camp Gordon.

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, in addition to injuries and illnesses incurred at the camp, this hospital served another purpose.</span></span></span> <span style="color: #274e13;">Think prosthetics.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Remember, cantonment meant temporary. The soldiers were taken here from Europe and The Pacific. Most all were missing a limb or limbs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">The idea was to tend to these men for a few days, weeks, or even a few months. They would then be transferred to the V. A. Hospital in Atlanta where they would be fitted with prosthetic arms and legs. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">The arrangement was successful during WW2, as thousands were served by the staff at the hospital. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;">With the guard shack out in front, this picture gives a better idea of how these temporary hospitals looked. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Having drawn duty at the hospital in Ft. Gordon in 1968, I can attest to the fact that place was a maze of buildings that were attached to each other. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;">If you notice, this is the actual picture from which the postcard above it was made. The amputees there had high morale since they were alive and with others who had similar injuries. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Harold Russell, a Navy man, was fitted with his 2 prosthetic arms at Lawson V.A. Hospital in Atlanta in 1944. In 1947, Mr.</span> Russell received an Academy Award for the movie<i>, The Best Years Of Our Lives</i>.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">This system of being transported from Camp Gordon to Lawson V.A. Hospital worked for the entire period of WW2. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Then Lawson V.A. was abandoned and the structures were taken over by the Internal Revenue Service. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">All of the equipment and the machinery was moved to Camp Gordon where it was much more convenient for the soldiers to stay at the hospital where they could then receive treatment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">So far, you have seen many buildings and grounds made available for the war. Of course, Camp Gordon turned out thousands of soldiers trained for 8 weeks in Basic Combat Infantry Training. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Also, as in many other camps and forts, soldiers were organized into specific divisions. At Camp Gordon, there were three. </span><br />

All 3 were available on eBay The most prominent of these divisions was the 4th Infantry Division known as Ivy. The 10th Armored Division was also formed at Camp Gordon as well as the 26th Infantry Division. </div>

Gordon for both Basic and AIT Signal School training. I really liked the place. Now I'm back, sort of. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are two important facts which took me weeks to realize about Camp Gordon in WW1. First is the location. Second is the base hospital.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Camp Gordon was actually built in 1917, in fewer than 6 months, on about 2 thousand acres in Chamblee, GA, which is located in DeKalb County. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: xx-small;">Map from Atlanta Metro County Maps</span><span style="color: #274e13;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Notice how close DeKalb County is to Atlanta. Where is Chamblee?</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's purpose was to train thousands of patriotic Georgians in the basics of infantry combat. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A Veteran's Admin. hospital was eventually built in Atlanta before WW11, so, the cities of Atlanta and Chamblee are used interchangeably when referring to the Camp in WW1. Confusing. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today, Chamblee is surrounded by the city of Atlanta, but is still an independent community.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Camps, as compared to forts, are generally thought of as temporary Army establishments which will be of no use once an objective has been achieved such as the end of a war. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Most of the pictures for this post are postcards which were mostly found on eBay. All are public domain, but some of the pictures will be identified individually.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It wasn't very big, but its purpose was narrow--to train infantrymen for battle. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not all barracks and other cantonment buildings were constructed exactly the same from fort to fort and camp to camp. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once the blueprints had been approved, the entire Camp Gordon was built by local contractors using local materials. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here, again, is the word cantonment which referred to any building constructed within the border of any military establishment. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, we'll add that cantonment also meant temporary.</span></span></span><br />

WWll and Korea and the teletypes should, and did, come first. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, because the old posts get buried, much of the previous post will be repeated. Just play along like it's new.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before The Second World War, Teletype Corporation was purchased by AT and T, which made TTC a subsidiary of Western Electric.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During WWII and the Korean War, the machinery used for teletype communications was supplied by Western Electric's Teletype Corporation.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 1931, however, E.E. Kleinschmidt established Kleinschmidt Laboratories Inc., which soon began competing with Western Electric for military teletype business.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is where the Army, during the Vietnam War, was using machines made by Kleinschmidt Labs which looked completely different than those from before.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's taken 5 years for me to figure out who and what, but this should be pretty accurate.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It didn't take long for KLI to disassociate itself from Teletype Corporation. First came a switch from the rough black exteriors to the smooth gray machines.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next came a sales pitch in 1944 to the Signal Corps of a new printer. In 1949, a 100 wpm printer was proclaimed the standard printer for the military.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This card says a lot about machines we used. The Baudot Code was uniform on the teletypes we used at Signal School in Ft. Gordon, GA. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1956, Smith-Corona-Marchant bought out KLI and it became an autonomous subdivision of Smith-Corona. The SCM badge was affixed to the outside of the Kleinschmidt machines. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">KLI began its civilian business shorty after the Korean War and was also developing a new family of teletype machinery for the Army. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Navy was contracting with Teletype Corporation from around 1956 on. The Army and Navy machinery was made by 2 different companies, but these machines could "communicate." </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here they present a typing reperforator with an integrated transmitter attached to the left side. This is getting near what we used except we never saw a typing reperforator. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inside the cover is a roll of paper tape which would be punched and printed then torn off and fed into the transmitter (reader). </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There isn't any other picture of the teletypewriters we used better than this one. This one shows the SCM badge, although the machinery was build by KLI.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The torn tape printing reporforator-transmitter (TT-179/FG) is shown on the left, and the teletypewriter (TT-119/FG) is on the left.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These machines were lighter and more portable than the Model 15. They were also smooth gray in finish and cleaned up easily.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These four pictures show multiple teletypes that we used during the Vietnam War. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the Taipei Terminal (RUAGST) we had one teletypewriter (KSR-keyboard-send-receive), two reperforators, and two printers with no keys (RO-receive-only).</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the printers was connected to a reperforator and the other had a transmitter for use with mimeograph rolls.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This picture has been around for five years and it is plainly shown as a Smith-Corona on the reperforator which has the transmitter-distributor attached to it. It was somewhere in Alaska.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The teletypewriter has toggle keys which allowed the machine to compose messages and receive them, depending on which switch was flipped. Easier done than explained.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From Teletype Corporation, this is a photo of the next generation of teletype machinery. The Navy may have been using the ASR-28 during the Vietnam War. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Regardless, KLI stopped making teletype equipment by 1979. It is still in business. Teletype Corporation continued in the field of teletypes. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, it became part of the AT and T breakup beginning in 1984. Western Electric became Lucent Technologies, Inc., and Teletype Corporation</span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"> and teletype manufacturing ceased to exist.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Previously, 2 posts were published, explaining what model and make of teletype equipment we used during our 1968-69 tour in Taiwan. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was easier, at first, to show the model we didn't use, rather than that which we did use.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using pictures from the DCS Tape Relay at Phu Lam, Vietnam, helped explain the Army's teletype machinery used during the Vietnam War. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the Model 15 teletype, we'll start with a little history. With the invention of Morse Code, companies around the world began working on models in which entire words could be transmitted at once over a line. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Europe, the Creed Company in Great Britain and Siemens in Germany began patenting methods of word transmission. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the United States, Morkrum Company and Kleinschmidt Electric Company were neck-and-neck in the development of machines that were very much alike. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rather than compete, the two companies merged in the 1924-25 years to form the Morkrum-Kleinschmidt Corporation. Below is a picture of the Morkrum founders. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In 1928-29, the name of the company was changed to Teletype Corporation. All owners seemed satisfied with the new company, as patents for improvements and changes were making the Model 15 a breadwinner. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Several plants in the Chicago area produced the Model 15 and its components. Later on, two huge plants were built after Teletype Corporation was purchased, and Edward Kleinschmidt created Kleinschmidt Laboratories. </span></span></span><br />

It has been said that this machine, the KSR 15<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, <span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">had more parts than a Ferrari.</span></span></span> </span></span></span></span><br />

A person on one end would type and that message would be printed out on a Model 15 KSR at the other end. And so it went. No tape was involved in the process yet.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;">In 1931, Edward Kleinschmidt decided to start his own company in order to keep his hand in the teletype business. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;">It was called Kleinschmidt Laboratories and due to competition from Western Electric for plant floor space, K.L. built its own plant in Deerfield, IL in 1949. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;">The buyout had left him with millions in stock, but no salary, power, or responsibilities. Dividends were not enough to put him into retirement.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;">So, at age 55, Edward Kleinschmidt had his own privately owned company to create innovations for the Teletype Corporation. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;">It must have amused him to be selling back to his old company patented improvements that his new company was creating. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: small;">Kleinschmidt Labs was also in the process of producing its own complete teletypewriter system. More about this in the next posting. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The double-T was the indicator on the logo that this was a new company. It meant Edward Kleinschmidt was no longer part of Teletype Corporation.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every message sent and received at bases and posts all over Taiwan depended on these machines for duplicate copies. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today, duplicates are reproduced by machines called photocopiers made by Xerox, Canon, or other corporations.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those of us who worked at the Taiwan Terminal, RUAGST, the job was to run punched paper tape through a reader, and onto a roll of mimeograph paper on a printer. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We then would put the message in a folder and our job was complete.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Each morning a courier picked up all of the messages and distributed them to the assigned destination around Taipei to be run off on one of these "Ditto" machines.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Using the west side of Chung Shan North Road, going south, you would eventually come upon a narrow alley which led back to the rear entrance of the Sea Dragon Club. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unless you were headed to the group of buildings known as Sugar Daddy Row, there would be little reason to use the west side of Chung Shan to walk to the south. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, Fu Shun Street was also on the west side which proved to be quite a great attraction for men on R and R as well as those stationed in and around Taipei. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">There were many access roads which allowed cabs to drop people off and not be concerned about being hit by the heavy traffic. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Does anyone else remember a free-standing ice cream parlor on the west side of Chung Shan North Road? It was sort of set back from the other commercial establishments. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It had an American name such as Baskin and Robbins or some other chain. It seemed strange that it would be in the middle of Taipei. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am not sure exactly where it was located, but my guess is that it was not too far south of the West Compound. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There were 2 main paths to the "Golden Intersection" of Miin Chuan East/West Roads and Chung Shan North Road. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For men on R and R during the Vietnam War, this row of buildings led south to the northeast corner of the above named intersection. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was the most heavily followed route since the east side was the more commercial and interesting side.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The other route was right across Chung Shan on the west side. It was a very different side when the sun went down.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Sea Dragon Club was also on the west side, but most of the walkway was rather dark as Tatung Company of Taiwan owned much of the real estate. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For Kent Mathieu</span>, the main attraction in this picture is the American Bakery right on the corner. Most of us don't remember this bakery, but do recall the Florida Bakery right beside it. Today, the American Bakery is a 7-Eleven.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Florida Bakery still exists and has expanded southward. Looking to the south of the bakeries, we can easily see the OK and Suzie Wong Bars which were landmarks themselves. </span></span><br />

Gordon was both my basic training fort and AIT signal school. I follow news about Gordon closely and will be adding more on it at a later date. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not too many men stationed at Fort Gordon during the peak of the Vietnam War years of 1967 through1969 ever heard of, much less saw, an AIT infantry outfit isolated in the woods of western Fort Gordon, GA. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was supposed to be a natural progression in infantry training with its graduates heading on to jump school at Ft. Benning, GA and then onto Vietnam. Anyway, that is how it was planned as it was open for business in 1967.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The best laid plans of government officials sometimes don't pan out as projected. Camp Crocket is one of those. Hence, it had a rather short life span. Before the end of 1969 it was closed.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, the place left a deep impression on most of the young men who spent 8-10 weeks there. It was not a success according to forums I have read from older men now who express the imprint Camp Crocket had on them. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This overhead shot of Ft.

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Count all of the concrete pads that remain intact and you should get 25.

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This may be one of the few pictures ever taken of the mock POW camp built to somewhat emulate the experience of being captured. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When our AIT signal corps group was given the opportunity, we intercepted a group of Signal Corps Officer Candidate trainees as they made their way through a forest. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We were hiding out in a cemetery not far from a mock POW camp. I wonder if this is the camp where we took the bound trainees in April of 1968. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These four young trainees at Camp Crocket made a pact that they would all return from Vietnam. This was a promise they made to one another in 1967.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Although they were broken up into different outfits once they got there, Rodney Eng (third from left) assures us that they all made it home.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In December of 1967, this group of soon-to-be graduates of Camp Crocket paused for a picture in front of one of the many Quonset huts they helped build.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Any of us who have lived outdoors during bivouac are familiar with the concept of drinking water that was supposed to be potable.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Actually invented before WWI, the man's name who is given credit had the last name of Lyster. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the years passed, the spelling of the name became Lister, thinking of the man, Joseph Lister who was responsible for antiseptic surgery.

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">Camp Crocket had long been forgotten when word began to spread that Agent Orange (Monsanto and Dow Chemical) had been sprayed in areas of Ft. Gordon as well as over 20 other forts. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">The purpose of Agent Orange was to kill all vegetation in its path in order to expose the North Vietnamese along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Television station WRDW in Augusta began a series of reports which showed the areas where Agent Orange was sprayed and the consequent destruction of the area circled here in orange. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was called a dead zone. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After so many decades of not knowing, Lou Krieger lead the effort to get Ft. Gordon to acknowledge its use of Agent Orange during 1967. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">It just so happens that the area sprayed was near Camp Crocket and many of the soldiers exposed are experiencing many health issues. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He is part of a growing group of Taiwanese whose wish is to preserve the 3 remaining areas of BOT housing in the Shantzuhou area of Grass Mountain. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We took this picture in 1969 because there was a motorcycle accident in front of the bank. Also shown is the Northwest Orient office on the corner and Bonnie Beauty Salon at the far left. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The buildings in this area stood for over 40 years after the Vietnam War. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Crowds gathered quickly back then and accidents like this one were far too frequent.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This picture was taken before the accident photo above. Bonnie's place is on the left. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was a full service salon with manicure, pedicure, wigs and all the usual salon services provided by the friendly staff of males and females. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In fact, Starbucks has moved into the former Northwest Orient building.

</div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When looking at the previous post, those of us who are interested found that Gold Mountain is still in the same location as it was in the 1960s. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gary Roske tried to get closer to it, but was turned away by Army guards. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">A call went out from this blog to ask for help in finding the location of the tower in Gary's two pictures. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">To the rescue came Victor W. Cheng, who has been a follower of this blog since its inception in August of 2010. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From the 1973 overhead photo of Grass Mountain, Victor was able to find the exact location of Gold Mountain. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">Just as I had been way off on the location of Grass Mountain, it took Victor's skill to home in on the place. It is south and east of the Grass Mountain complex. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All these years, my assumption was that it was north and east of Grass Mountain. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, it makes much more sense as to why the operators at the Gold Mountain JOSS (Joint Overseas Switching System) lived and ate at the Grass Mountain barracks. </span></span></span><br />

Taipei, Taiwan, 1967-2014<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">First of all, my apologies. From the time that this blog began, your host assumed that Gold Mountain JOSS was no longer standing. Nothing that was sent to the blog proved otherwise until now. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Gary Roske, the first USASTRATCOM contributor had spent time at Gold and Grass Mountains. Photos of the Gold Mountain microwave tower gave no indication as to where it was located in relationship to Grass Mountain. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now we have proof that it still stands although its location is still a little obscure and its microwave tower has changed from our military days. </span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wow! Talk about moving up in class! Here is Dan DiThomas, 45 years later with his Stutz automobile. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These cars were very popular in the early 20th Century until the Great Depression closed down the plant. Maybe one of the most famous Stutz was the Bearcat.</span></span></span> <br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Getting back to the 1970s, this photo shows the Grass Mountain complex as it looked in 1973. The war was still on and the site was still being used as a microwave send/receive complex. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like this picture in particular since it shows the back gate road as it begins to wind down into the village. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dan, Gary and I had long before left Taiwan, but this picture indicates the road which may have lead to Gold Mountain. I never saw the place and just assumed it was nearby. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gary began a trek to the Gold Mountain site in 2014. His goal was to get as close as he could to see just how much the place had changed. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is as far as Gary got. The Taiwanese Army guards were more than a little less friendly than Gary had hoped. This is how the tower looks today which is much bigger than the Gold Mountain tower of the 1960s and 70s. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I tried Google Earth in an attempt to try to find it. From what the ruler indicated, the tower and site was at least one half mile away. That would coincide with Gary saying that Army vans took them to and from work. My calculations may be way off as well. </span></span></span><br />

Some people have names that don't quite seem to fit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His name was perfect. Everyone I know called him Kenny, even his teachers. He had no enemies and always had a smile. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As with other guys in our small Midwestern town, boys our age met each other by playing Little League baseball. That was the case with Kenny and me. We were both second sackers for our teams. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We complemented each other in that he had a great glove and I had a decent bat. That was the way it was for the next several years. </span><br />

Thus began my correspondence with Scott Ellinger. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the next three years, he provided me with many leads to information regarding the Grass Mountain area. He also expanded on pictures and copy in some of the blog posts. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After more than two decades with the Army, Scott retired and is now still living in Taiwan.</span></span></span><br />

Where did you go if you were sick or injured?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For those of us who were around the Taipei area during the Vietnam War, the thought of not having the Naval Hospital around never occurred. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Built in the Tien Mou area in the mid-1960s, the facility was first rate and really took good care of not only men and women in the service, but also their dependents. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An e-mail from William Dawson, who was the son of David and Jean Dawson, brought up an interesting take on primary health care for Americans in Taiwan after WW II and during the Korean War. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">William and his family lived near Grass Mountain, but not in BOT housing. He became ill in 1960 and spent a couple of nights in the Grass Mountain Clinic shown above. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">His memory puts the clinic on the east side of the main drag near the movie theater and bowling alley. If anyone out there remembers this clinic, please let us know. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In case of a serious injury, illness and maternity needs, the folks around Taipei had MacKay Memorial Hospital to depend upon. Still functioning, the location still remains in Section 2, Chung Shan North Road, Taipei.</span></span></span>Taipei Signal Armyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13244812618937912586noreply@blogger.com25
