Fots2, thanks for the thesis Since I don't know the terrain I leave it up to you experts to fill me in. I really appreciate it, details like this I just can't get on a map. While I agree they are not 503rd men going ashore, I know 503rd men when I see them....I assumed it may have been men of the 34th. Thanks again for your help. It puts the photo series into a little better perspective. Dan

Fots2, that is some outstanding detective work, you should have been in the Air Force and do photo interpretation work.

Hey Fots....You obviously have PI (photo interp) skills in your DNA). Your expert analysis of these shots warms the cockles of this old ex-USAF interp type's heart. Of course, most of my work in this area was with overhead shots.Your ground level interpretations are excellent. What is most striking, for a guy who thrives working in dark, murky, bat, snake, spider, lizard infested crawl spaces, your observations in broad daylight are amazing. lol, Cheers. ;D
