Take Five: A Musical Interlude.

Col. Henry L. Adams, USA (Ret.), known to we of the Old Soldiers Brigade as 'Hank" was recently at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point NY, for a conference. He took the opportunity as an Honorary Member of the BETFOR Association to take with him his BETFOR tie, and to send us pictures of its presentation there.

History note: As an 88th Infantry Division and TRUST veteran, Hank served under XIII Corps and Allied Force Trieste, both of those commands used the Leaping Gazelle flash/patch.

The "Old Soldiers' Home" website was founded and managed by Lt. Col. Thomas Cohoon (Ret.) until his death in the summer of 2006. In creating that site, Tom gave this as his purpose and intent:

Tom's original website is now recreated by and for Tom's friends and comrades. The original material, as much as could be captured, is now linked through this new domain name, www.oldsoho.com. (Tom's original domain name, www.oldsoldiershome.com, is not currently available to us.)

At this moment there are three directions in which you can move from this point in our Old Soldiers' Home project:
• The Old Soldiers' Home, the replacement for the expired website.
• The Old Soldiers' Home Guest Book II, the replacement for Tom's original board which had recently been spammed, and which we did not have management rights. (No messages were lost from that original board, and we are slowly bringing back the contents of that archive.)
• An Historical Perspective of the TRUST Command, some 200 pages of 1945-1954 documents about the Cold War in and around Trieste (not just TRUST) which had been compiled by Charles D. Nobles.

A number of other projects are underway: pages of military history, transfer of photographs from other project, a remembrance of Tom Cohoon, more musical selections

This is now but one of four interconnected online domains. The others are:
•  Military History Network, your webmaster's view of and offerings on military history, with emphasis on World War II and Cold War in the Mediterranean Theater./
•  34th Infantry Division Association, for which I have the honor to be historian and webmaster; from Casablanca in November 1942 to Trieste in October 1945./
•  Another personal site, not named at the moment because it is in transition and hence disarray, but which will provide storage for large historical collections and parts of our Old Soldiers' Home music library.

I am also pleased to advise you that backup information on the key files, domains, and passwords here are being provided to Hank Adams and Richard Griffiths, so that we do not risk the loss of management and access control if something should happen to me.

With that introduction to 'Page II', the further development of the original Old Soldiers' Home, I return to slaving over a hot keyboard. Comments are invited, my e-mail address is below.
