Robert_Biza.jpgBarracks conferenceThe one on the bed is "B" Battery Clerk Robert P. Biza. The others all around him is a big question. I asked Jim Kaller, he was a clerk too, but he could only ID Robert. The other guys seated around him could be from "B" Battery also or perhaps some of the drivers. I remember Robert though; I slept in the same hooch with him. Anyone recognize the others?
