Here is a magazine article about John (Scotty) Anderson and the 112th Calvary. It was written by Bill Norman and reprinted with permission from the November, 2007 issue of the Desert Leaf, Tucson, Arizona. Also included is a "Letter to the Editor" from Bill Garbo.

If you cannot read the article, please let me know and I will send it to you in Adobe Acrobat.

We're moving to Yuku

Within the next week or so, Ezboard will transfer the museum forums to their Yuku board. You need to do nothing.

When you arrive at this url, Ezboard will automatically transfer you to the new web address. Just make note of the new link.

One new feature I know pstickle will thoroughly enjoy is no longer will we be limited to 20 pages. Messages will no longer scroll off into oblivion unless moved back to the top.

To become a familiar with Yuku, you might start here:

Trooper Mailer has passed

feeds@yuku.com (euz769) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 17:04:22 GMT
Norman Mailer of 112th RCT HQs and Recon Platoon passed away on Saturday 10 November 2007.

I've heard a number of opinions regarding Mailer, but all I know is how he spoke of the Regiment when I interviewed him two years ago. I can tell you that in the last years of his life he was proud of his service with the 112th.

Always at war with those in authority around him, he had a great respect for men who were the real thing. Generally disliking the officers in the RCT, he did,...

Texas Military Forces Mseum

Heard thru the grapevine that the museum once again has a new director.

I have heard that Jeff Hunt, formerly of the Nimitz Museum will be taking over.

I also find it hard he is a civilian, with no military background , no active duty will be running a National Guard Museum..

My father - in -law jack w Sigmon sevrved iun the 112'th in 1940 -41. During his time his 35mm Leica camera was busy recording the La. manuevers as well as marches to El Paso and life around Ft. Clark. We have over 300+ pictures along with the negatives for viewing. We showed many of these pictures at reunions in the 1990's but when Jack passed away we moved to other interests. Would entertain correspondence to share pictures-

H Troop PFC Alvin Cole

feeds@yuku.com (euz769) — Fri, 04 May 2007 06:09:12 GMT
Troopers:

I have recently been contacted by Alvin Cole's grandson, John Kaiser, who is interested in knowing more about the circumstances under which his grandfather died.

We have determined that PFC Alvin Cole was a member of H Troop and was seriously wounded on November 30, 1944, in the fight for the Ormoc Valley on Luzon. He died of his wounds on December 2, 1944.

Since H troop was only activated in mid-October 1944, PFC Cole would have been in the 112th for little...

John G. (Scotty) Anderson gets medals after 62 years

feeds@yuku.com (larry braden) — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 11:52:12 GMT
Scotty Anderson was in Troop B of the 112th Cavalry. He was wounded in the Battle of the Driniumor River in July, 1944. On Jan. 30, 2007 he finally received his medals after 62 years. The medals were presented to him by the Commanding General of Fort Huachuca, AZ, Major General Fast. It was a great ceremony and there was one "Proud" Trooper.

I am a Vietnam Veteran and very proud to be a friend of Scotty.

To all Troopers and their families:

Well, it was just a year ago that we celebrated 112th Cavalry Day, the 60th anniversary of he 112th's colors being returned to Austin. We celebrated the day because the Texas Legislature had passed a bill creating 112th Cavalry Day on January 17, 2006. While there is no legislation this year from the Texas House or Senate, I still believe it is an appropriate day to recognize the sacrifices many men and their families made during World War II while...
