After my grandmother died in 2003, mom collected a treasure trove (to me anyway) of photos.
These were apparently taken after Gramps was drafted into the Army. I do not know the date. but he was in Britain for a a few years and was preparing to ship out to invade Japan when the Atomic bomb was dropped. So it could be anytime 44-47?
He did say that he was trained in Georgia, and this looks like basic training, or maybe just after. (note 09/2018) just discerned that these were taken at Camp Grant in Rockford Il.
The identities of the other guys in the pictures are lost to history. I cannot identify any of their names and no family recognizes any of them. I wonder what happened to them.
Gramps (James Bales) and Meem (Betty Bales [Astle] were some of the most caring, dear people to me and I will always miss them. However they were not good photographers! And terrible about labeling and dating photos.

CAPE MAY, N.J. - Personnel at U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Cape May hold a remembrance ceremony for Petty Officer 1st Class Douglas Munro at his statue on the parade field, Sept. 27, 2022.
U.S. Coast Guard men and women carry out a wide variety of diverse missions every day. Protecting people and commerce on the sea, protecting the sea itself, and protecting the country from threats aboard. We focus on present-day operations and readiness and strive to be prepared for tomorrow, but certain times compel us, and all Americans, to reflect on our history and heritage. The 80th anniversary of Munro’s extraordinarily heroic actions at Guadalcanal is such a day.
