[CaptO]

My grandfather, LTC John C. O'Brien, CO, 2832nd Bn, during his infantry training at Fort Knox in 1936. When called to active duty in 1939, the Army noticed that he had a civil engineering degree and said, "Guess what. . ." - from there on he was an engineer. The last picture is from WWII. Without color its difficult to say whether he was major or LTC at the time. The man in the middle is the XO of the group, I believe. No ideas on the captain on the right.
