The men of the unit sit down for a meal. The officers usually sat together and in this case, they are at the rear with the enlisted men at the tables in the foreground.  At the rear table, with his back to the wall and centered is Lt. Col. Louis C. Cadenhead Jr. It is hard to see but he has a mustache. To the right is Cpt, John T. Wolfe. At the doorway on right is Michael A. Coviello and Louis Salloway is on left. Behind them is Mess SSgt. Chester J. Stempleski. At the front tables, James P. Duffy is on the left side of the center table, third from bottom (counting all heads). Next to him in the second position is John J. Yauch. On the right of that same table is Edward R. Schmuff, third from bottom, with James W. Smith in fourth position. The photo is identified as being taken in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. The unit was billeted or housed in a vicarage or residence of church leadership. Photo courtesy of Sean Duffy.
