These are pictures of George Edward Brannon "Ed" and some of his friends in Ft. Screven before they were shipped overseas.  I don't have any information on any of the others except for their first names.

These are some pictures that my father in law had stashed away.  I am assuming that he was in the 1058th because of the pictures, but all of his records were lost in the fire of 1973.  In the one picture with his buddies in a bar or something, George Brannon is the one on the far right.  I have no idea who the others are.  The picture where they are sitting on a dock or bridge, George is in the center front.

I have a lot more pictures, and will probably post them later.  Most appear to be official Army photos that were badly copied.

Thinking today of the service and sacrifice of Seaman 2nd Class Bryl G. Bowman, who went missing in action on this date 75 years ago. Seaman Bowman was a crew member aboard the USS Houston, which on 1 March 1942 was caught in a desperate battle with the Japanese fleet and was sunk off of the Java coast. Of the 1061 men aboard the Houston, 693 perished.
