Scenes from a bygone era- admin area at Bristo IFC, circa 1956. SFC Bert Haney saved the picture and Bill Shaw provided it to this site. Bill's white Rambler station wagon is visible in the parking lot. Photo is facing west from "the hill" and shows the barracks area. BOQ is in the right foreground. In background is a building with from left to right: the motor pool, supply room, first aid station, orderly room and the dayroom/PX. 
Down the hill in back of the mortor pool was a small NCO club made from two 8x20 ft. house trailers obtained by the first battery commander, 1LT Leggette. The battery had frequent clambakes there organized by mess sergeant SFC Haney.
