That photo was taken in August '44 in Paris before we moved up.
I was in the ETO until mid '46 so I still had some time to make me look worse than that photo did. I was getting so skinny I rattled when I walked.
I admit I may make it sound like an "interesting trip" but it was anything but and altough like you I had the "Points" I was held over because they kept telling me we can't find a replacement that fits so you are declared "essential".
(The Army's way of doing things their way.)
I found out after I left they "broke" some NCOs down because they realigned the T/O and since they had extended or re-up'd they were stuck. Glad I missed that.
