This photo is of Sgt. Bill Schaeffer who was Team Commander with one of
the 66th IPCT Teams attached to the 25th Inf. Div. He was a graduate of BJWS and
assistant Instructor for Cycle #1 at Fort Gordon's Visual Tracker School. (Note the arrow

This is a shot of Sp/4 Wiggins. We know from DeWitt that Wiggins was
another BJWS Grad who was assigned to the 66th IPCT - 25th Inf. Div. Does anyone

This is a shot of Sgt. Joe Mocki sent to us by DeWitt. He is another
BJWS graduate - and his class was with Barry Magor's 8 RAR who were the Australian
Trackers. (We first heard about Joe when we were communicating with Barry in
Australia and from his recollections, were able to find Joe alive and well and living in
Connecticut! They are now in touch after 32 years!) |
