I remember most of the faces I just can't put a name to them.  If my count is correct there is 51 persons in the picture.  In the Christmas book, Hq 2nd Battalion had 194 persons listed.  I have no idea why the big difference. My guess is this picture was taken overseas as I see some are wearing the Combat Infantry Badge.  This may be the originals that started off together in Toccoa.
