CC 1.JPG (28676 bytes) Cliff Clement sent all of these photos.  Cliff was a Track Layer and as such, a special part of the Tracker Family!  This is the first graduating Handler class when Cliff was at BJWS.  This would have been late June-early July 1968.   Anybody recognize these Handlers?
03 July 2009 update from Dave Folland: "From L to R # 1 unknown, #2 Jim Tomlinson 65th IPCT, #3 Ed Lawton (KIA), # 4 unknown, # 5 Cpl. John Higgs, #6 Bob Sepulveda 61st  IPCT, # 7 Dave Folland 61st  IPCT & Sam, #8 unknown." From John Carroll 23 July 2010: Front row 4th W/O dog Sgt John R Carroll, 5th W/O dog Cpl John Higgs
CC 2.JPG (26913 bytes) The photo shows two of the other Track Layers who worked with Cliff.   Standing on the left is Richard Paulus and the Track Layer gone "native" on the right Cliff believes was Ronald Roberts.  Cliff thinks that R. Roberts went to the 23rd as a Visual Tracker.
CC 3.JPG (12620 bytes) This is "Macha John" the barber at BJWS.  He was a character and a half by all reports, and actually cut the Japanese soldiers' hair during their occupation of Singapore in WW II! 
CC 4.JPG (17627 bytes) Track Layers on the way to well-deserved R & R in Singapore.   They were smart enough to go by themselves and not with the wicked Kiwis and Tracker Trainees!  Bet THEY all came home in one piece!

Cliff believes that the Handler shown here is James Tomlinson.  If any of you recognize this, please let us know.  Excellent photo of the "Y" formation.  Big thanks go to Cliff for all of these pieces of Tracker History! 23 July 2010 From John Carroll: "I'm almost sure this is 1 of a series of photos taken on the parade field a BJWS.  We were demonstrating different Tracker formations to be used in the 1st Tracker manual to be put together for stateside use. I don't know if it was ever put together or not. From left to right SSGT Chris Hodge,  center behind dog handler, LT Clyde B Malone, right SGT John R. Carroll"
