I have no idea who took this picture, but it’s a great photo of the officers and senior NCOs in 2/327th 66-67.

Taken in Phang Rang, I think. I don’t remember his name, but he was KIA’d the very next day when we went to field. I think this was the last picture taken of him. Does anyone remember his name? I would love to get a copy to his surviving family.
