I received the following email from Elaine Kessler. "I am writing on behalf of my father, Ernest Kessler, who completed his Ritchie training March 6, 1943. His team served primarily with the 29th Infantry. Maybe there is someone out there from this picture taken in Bremen in 1945. The names we have are Groden, Kaspar, Kahling, and Scott, my father is all the way on the right. (Spelling of names might be wrong.) Vivian Kessler"
