Spike's Surprise

In August 1945, The Worcester Telegram and Gazette pilled the beans about the Ghost Army, thanks to a talkative corporal named Sebastian Messina. That led to a spate of articles -- including one in The New York Times before the Pentagon managed to get it hushed up for the next forty years. Recently, Erin Rush, the grand-niece of Ghost Army veteran Spike Berry, sent me Spike's original copy of the article for the Ghost Army archives. Back in 2006, Spike told the story of how he came into possession of it. Take a listen!

Name, Rank, & Serial Number

"Whenever I interview someone, I tell them that the first question is the hardest. Then I ask them to tell me their name, their title (or in tis case, rank) and spell their last name. This video is made up of answers to that question, along with pictures of each interview back in the day.  Sadly, seven of the men have not survived to see the film completed."

Bob Boyajian was in Company C of the 603rd Camouflage Engineers. These are pictures he took during training at Camp Forrest in Tennessee. I love the contemporary quality of them--nearly 70 years old, they all look like the could have been taken last week.
