Ray, There is Fort A.P. HILL where the National Boy Scout jamboree is hald every 4 years. I believe he as well as Jackson were "winning" generals, for years, just didn't end up winning. David

Robert, I remember Tank Hill well. Our unit was Charlie -1-1. I learned a lot in those 8 weeks. Then off to Benning and Gordon. Were all these Forts named after Confederate Generals? They should be named after some winning generals <BG> Ray ----- Original Message -----=20 From: William Smith=20 To: colonial-coins@yahoogroups.com=20 Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 5:40 PM Subject: Re: [Colonial Numismatics] Re: Old Bailey and books
Ray, I went through FT Jackson also; 'Tank Hill.' I think they bulldozed them down for the newer units, the ones with 'air conditioning' and bigger latrines (instead of the one shower per 60 soldiers). Fun was. Robert Laviana
