Thanks for this. Eugene Hoy Barksdale was a distant cousin of mine. Hoy was in England with Royal Air Corps during World War 1. Became a test pilot and died in aircraft accident over Ohio in 1926. My mother was a Barksdale. Base is named for him.

Welcome to the Canteen, looois, and we thank you for your service to our country.

Thanks for the addition to the "story" of Barksdale.
