The man at center, standing with legs crossed, holding reins of mule, is my father, S/Sgt George O. Blazier (Merrill's Marauders 3rd Battalion, Orange Combat Team, Co. K Weapons Platoon, to get as specific as I can!). I know this not only as my father's classic stance, but because this photo appeared in a government publication just after the war, and he pointed himself out in it many times.

The fourth man sitting on the ground is a picture of dad s/sgt Bernard Bieker, his 47 pound radio is sitting on the ground in front of him, dad was with the khaki column. Looks like my oldest brothers high school picture
