Clarence wrote to me about my uncle, who was also a Army Railroader ... I was with the occupation forces in Japan with the 3rd MRS/8010 from 1946 until 1952 I did not know a Major Bill Griffin at that time, however I was in Korea with a LTC Lawrence [I believe his first name was]Griffin,and also in Ft.Eustis,Va.in the 774th and 714th TBROS & DE,he was the EX OFFICER there. I looked at your Military Railway Service blog and it was very,very interesting. I have some pictures and papers that I would be glad to share with you at a later date.
