New Photographs of what became of the 6901st. Identification
follows. Perhaps you can figure out what you are seeing. Pictures compliments
of George King - 202 - Zwei Aug 64 - Apr 66. These are large files so give
them time to load if you are on dial up. With a broadband connection they will
snap.
These pictures are as if you left the ops
entrance and turned right, walking to the barracks road and then to the mess
hall.

the building that housed the mail room where you crossed the main road and
down the steps to the barracks road (264 -266 - 267) continue down barracks
road and look right (268 - 270 - 272) continue on down to the gym and look
right (273) then look straight ahead to the theater (274).
