My wife's grandparents took a road trip between his posting in North Africa and his being stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. He was in the 30th Engineering Battalion, where his job was interpreting aerial reconnaisance and making maps for the invasion of Japan that never happened.
Rogelio Alberto Casas Served in the U.S. Army with the 30th Engineering Battalion, Company B, which was tasked with map making. He was originally stationed at Fort Belvoir, then was sent to North Africa to make maps for the invasions of Sicily and Italy, then was stationed at Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii for the last year of the war.
He had grown up in Spain and had seen combat with the Republican Army against the fascists. He eventually had to escape the country by foot over the Pyranees Mountains after the collapse of the government and made his way to New York. By accident, he had been born in Puerto Rico while his mother was accompanying his father on a business trip and so he had U.S. Citizenship.
He was an artist and had taken a course in cartography before graduating from Columbia University in 1942 so he was assigned to this unit which was heavy with artists, as can be seen from many of his photos. As part of reproducing maps, the unit was able to easily make photo prints. This resulted in Rogelio returning from the war with many hundreds of photos showing personal and cultural scenes from North Africa, the U.S. and Hawaii.
After the terrors of the Spanish Civil War (in which nearly all of his childhood friends were killed) his lot kept getting better. He married Constance Berry, whom he met in New York City, and lived with her at Fort Belvoir until shipping to North Africa. Although he lived in field conditions there, he never had to see combat again. By the time he was stationed in Hawaii, his photos suggest a nearly resort-living environment at Schofield Barracks. He finally returned home to his wife, finished his Doctorate and became a Humanities Professor at Dartmouth for a few years and then the University of New Hampshire at Durham for the majority of his career.

Speedy Bill Smith bought used speed equipment from racers in the early years as they moved on to something better. He started a business selling it which grew to the big retail business it is today, Speedway Motors.
Hauliers all backloaded salt from ICI Winsford into our local salt storage depots, this was Hagg Wood quarry at Honley, now a stone yard. This was the worst place to stack salt, a difficult push and only access for one wagon at a time. To make it worse I had to get 10,000 tonnes in there.
The 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon conducts military funeral honors with funeral escort for U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Thomas Cooper in Section 57 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., March 10, 2022. Cooper was killed during World War II at age 22.
From the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) press release:
In November 1943, Cooper was a member of Company A, 2nd Amphibious Tractor Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, which landed against stiff Japanese resistance on the small island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands, in an attempt to secure the island. Over several days of intense fighting at Tarawa, approximately 1,000 Marines and Sailors were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded, while the Japanese were virtually annihilated. Cooper died on the first day of the battle, Nov. 20, 1943. He was reportedly buried on Betio Island.
Despite the heavy casualties suffered by U.S. forces, military success in the battle of Tarawa was a huge victory for the U.S. military because the Gilbert Islands provided the U.S. Pacific Fleet a platform from which to launch assaults on the Marshall and Caroline Islands to advance their Central Pacific Campaign against Japan.
In the immediate aftermath of the fighting on Tarawa, U.S. service members who died in the battle were buried in a number of battlefield cemeteries on the island. The 604th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company conducted remains recovery operations on Betio between 1946 and 1947, but Cooper’s remains were not identified. All of the remains found on Tarawa were sent to the Schofield Barracks Central Identification Laboratory for identification in 1947.
In March 1980, the Central Identification Laboratory, a predecessor to DPAA, sent officials to Betio Island to receive skeletal remains that had been recovered during a construction project. Of the three sets recovered, two were identified. The third was declared unidentifiable and was subsequently buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu.
In 2016, DPAA disinterred the remains of 94 Tarawa Unknowns from the NMCP for identification. The remains were consolidated and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
To identify Cooper’s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome DNA (Y-STR) analysis.
Cooper was officially accounted for on Aug. 9, 2019. His daughter, Virginia Frogel, received the flag from his service.

Schofield Travel, Loughborough, DAFSB2305DHTD585 Plaxton Paramount 3200 RIL 4615 in London, 18th November, 2000 . It was new to Galloway European as F886 SRT.
Now the site of the dreadful "The Core", imagine if these buildings existed today, they would almost certainly be listed.
I think this was just after delivery in 2003, a scan of a print. A rush buy to replace our 2000 series that was destroyed in a fire, it was a year old and came via Pelican Engineering from the Leeds Commercial hire fleet. It was basic but reliable. The new owner has had it sprayed in military camouflage colours.

Pictured, the post exchange at Hawaii's Schofield Barracks during grand opening ceremonies, circa 1970.
Today's Schofield shopping center is a 2007 renovation of a store that opened in 1994. The one pictured is an earlier exchange at Schofield.
Post exchanges in Hawaii date back to the Spanish-American War in 1898. The first exchange in the Pacific was started by a military unit at Hawaii's Camp McKinley to serve troops en route to the Philippines to fight in the war.
During World War II, exchanges served troops at 18 locations on the islands of Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Lanai. The post exchange at Hickam Field was severely damaged in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The 27th Infantry Regiment, nicknamed the "Wolfhounds," was established in 1901 as a U.S. Army regiment. In 1921, the regiment was assigned to the Army's Hawaiian Division, the same year the first post exchange at Schofield Barracks opened.
When war was at its fever pitch, the Schofield Barracks Exchange operated 110 field PXs throughout northern Oahu, much like the one pictured. The stores ranged from large establishments to small places serving 140 machine gunners on top of Mount Kahala. The latter was so isolated that PX supplies were brought to them by mule packs
