This is a mountain flower and called "Edelweiss". The people who live in the alpine reasons; Germans, Austrians, and Swiss adore it.

"The 'Launching of the Straubing" was an asupicious occasion. It drew a big crowd of onlookers. With great ceremony it was shoved out into the Danube for the maiden voyage. With the motor propelling it, the boad proceeded to GO IN BIG CIRCLES. I appeared to all present that the weight was unevenly distributed. I never saw it go in a straight direction. Further 'tinkering' may have corrected the problem. The 'Straubing' may have made some successful voyages after I left scene. So much for the boat building abilities of the 191st." Barrett Whiteley 2006

The Straubing was launched by member of Battalion Motor Maintenance

Camp Chicago, France was where the Battalion stayed while preparing to return to the States.
