Joe,
On the one that you show, it looks like it was partly removed. It's hard to tell but I wonder what it said before it was altered.

My pics are so-so today. My camera is limited. Maybe I'll ask Santa this year for a new one I'd like to set up a dedicated space in my house for photography where I can control the light better.

On some of the personalized bayos I've seen, many are found with some form of 'in memory of service time' somewhere on the bayo. Often includes date, but not always. In the first two shots, it looks like a his-and-hers personalization. The first side has a beer mug with name, date and service time; the other side has a flower and translates something like:

"By horse and by woman should man look at class"

The third pic shows service time, date and ricasso information. The fourth and fifth pics are from the 2nd and the 3rd machine gun battalions. I have a few others I will post later. This is completely up for discussion; as I said earlier, I know these are hard to validate.

Regards,
Steve
