The commanders group around the sand table on Mindoro for a "posterity portrait." - On the left is Maj. Arlis Kline, the commanding officer of the 462d PFABn. He will be severely wounded on the jump. Next to him, immediately behind Col. Jones, is Lt. Col. "Smiling Jack" Tolson, who will be the lift commander. Tolson will jump with one of the last sticks, breaking his left ankle upon landing. Col. George Jones, commanding officer of the 503d PRCT, and now of the Rock Force, points out a feature on Corregidor. Lt. Col. John Erickson, on the right, is commanding the 3d Bn 503d PRCT. He will be the first man to jump. The others I don't know by sight. I expect one may be Lt. Col. E. M. Postlethwait, commanding the 3d Bn, 34th Infantry Regiment.
