The co-authors tell the overall operations history of both the 196th Signal Photo Company (SPC) and the 3131st Signal Service Company for the first time in The Last Farewell - A Journey of the Heart. Photographers, Burke O'Connell, John T. Mason, and Donald Wiedenmayer crossed paths during Operation Torch, the 1942 Allied invasion of North Africa and in Italian Campaign. The 3131st was reorganized to form the 196th SPC in early 1945. Veterans and their families are actively encouraged to email the authors to share information and photographs. Special thanks to Don Wiedenmayer for providing unit rosters, copies of wartime orders and essential historical detail.
