Uncle George was listed on
the Christmas 1944 Roster as PFC George William Cavnar of Regimental H. Q.
He was also a member of Boom Boom's Demolition Team. He spoke of being a
driver for a Lt. Clark of the 517th also. The photo of him standing
behind the Ford was probably taken at Camp Mackall as the license plate
reads "1944 - North Carolina".
However the photo that I really wanted
to send to you is missing. It is of Uncle George driving a Jeep load of
his 517 trooper buddies straight up some giant steps in front of a large
municipal bldg. and they appear to be feeling no pain. I questioned him
about the snap shot and he said it was taken in Nice France. I don't want
to get him court-martialed at this stage of his life but he also owned up
to always carrying an extra Jeep rotor button or two just in case of an
emergency. |

Uncle George said that the white scarf he is wearing with his dress uniform in this photo was made from his old parachute. |
