| CAMP FRENZEL JONES |
| One of the Guard Towers, just about everyone would pull guard duty, except the truck drivers who were often passed over as they were needed each day for hauling, we normally put in a 12 to 16 hour day. |
| While quite a few of the men served more than one he was going home soon. Standing outside the jeep is Garry Farren giving the universal short timer sign, the closer together the fingers the sooner good-by time approached. Sitting inside the jeep looks like Pete O'malley, it's hard to tell, any info you can give helps to identify members. |

| Company sign for the 104th Engineers, this base located about 15 miles from Saigon and about 3 miles across from Bien Hoa Airbase. As you can see from the sign, the Company Commander was Captain Bruce E. Brockway, he is now retired and lives in Maine. 1St Sergent James H. Gobble has since passed away. Also stationed on the same base was the 199th Light Infantry. Everyone will tell you the base had all the comforts of home: except, running water, hot showers, flush toilets, comfortable beds, good food, fancy restaurants and so on. |
