If you want your communication posted to the

Subject: (Guest Book yes) (Email no) The parenthesis and key
words Guest Book and Email trigger my programs and make it easier for me to post
your entry. The Yes or No let me know whether to post your message to
my guest book
and whether to post your email address along with the guest book entry. If
you do not wish to post your email address, you could simply ask them to contact
you through my email address. I will forward the emails to you and let you
decide whether to make direct contact.
When in doubt, I will assume that your email is a private communication and will
not post it. I tried automatic guest book forms, but was not satisfied with the reliability across
browsers and operating systems. Simple email appears much more reliable.
I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Thanks....Homer

Capt Richard
Koelle
4th Bn, 42nd Artillery
5th Bn, 16th Artillery
Hello, my name is Karl Koelle. My father, Capt Richard Koelle, was killed at
Bragg in 1975. I've been doing some research recently and found that he was with
the
HSB, 4th Bn 42nd Arty, 4th Infantry summer of 1969-early 1970,
then it looks like he was with
5th Bn 16th Arty the rest of his tour. I know very little about
my father's time there other than some pictures in an album. I would love to
learn more about his military service.
Thanks for your service and thanks for the site.

John
Rowley
4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery
I was an
artillery officer in the 4th Battalion of the 42nd Artillery and served
most of my time as a forward observer with infantry units in the field.
I worked out of LZ's Beaver, English, Hard Times, Meade, Lewis and
Pungi, in that order, during the Fall of 1969 and the Spring of 1970.
The infantry company captains I served with as their Forward
Observer were Captain Chambers (West Point), Lt. Witworth (both on
first tour), Captain Charlie Young (OCS - 2nd tour) and Captain Don
Cinamond (OCS - 2nd or 3rd tour) who came over initially on a troop boat
with a newly trained unit out of Fort Lewis. Not surprising the two
OCS officers were the superior leaders. The person who trained me was
Recon SGT Bob Nehring, mentioned by
Russell Armstrong
and Wayne Wright in their posting about C Battery 4/42nd Artillary.
The update additions of David Parrish make me think I was with 1/22nd
Infantry or maybe the 1/12th Infantry when serving as an FO, before
serving as XO of C Battery under Captain Larry Harbison and with Chief
of Smoke SFC Alan Bahl.
After R&R in Hong Kong, I went back out
as an FO (long story) I believe with Captain Cinamond.
If you
remember me, please contact me through this website and send me any
additional info on these photos.
