The 447th Signal Battalion moved to Ernst Ludwig Kaserne from Baumholder in spring 1971. It had been in Baumholder (Wetzel Kaserne) for about two years. LTC Harry Comeskey was CO during my 10 months (9/70 - 6/71) in the battalion. CPT Batta and SFC Odum ran the HHQ Detachment at the time. SFC Bozarth headed the S-2 where I worked. The 447th had a couple of dozen communications sites throughout northwestern Germany, Belgium and Holland, forming the 'Cemetery' Network in support of artillery units. It belonged to the 22nd Signal Group in Mannheim. I was at ELK for only 2 or 3 months, but have many memories of people, places and events around ELK and nearby units and Darmstadt itself. Of course, even more memories of Baumholder.
