Kevin writes … Thank you for posting the info and photos of
the 723rd Railway Operating Battalion on the blog. I stumbled onto it, and was interested---
In the HQ photo the Lt. McClooney seated in the front row
center—he was my uncle. James E.
McClooney. He now rests at Arlington
National Cemetery here in Washington DC.
I heard many stories during visits to my uncle, while
growing up as a child in the 1960s about the 723rd and his work in the Railway
Operating Battalion. At that time he was
a civilian instructor at the Army Transportation School at Ft. Eustis
