The Germans left no beer in their abandoned canteens. This explanation is due Lieutenant Peacock, one of the officers in the picture, who was a "dry" member of the Georgia senate. But when Marshall, the Signal Corps photographer, insisted upon a drinking scene the Southern prohibitionist helped him by posing with a stein in hand. The picture was made in the Bois de Nonsard, September 14, 1918. Seated left to right: Lieutenant J L Gammell, Intelligence Officer, 3d Artillery Brigade, Captain R L Coe, 76th F A, Lieutenant Archibald G Montgomery, 76th F A, Major Shadworth O Beasley, Regimental Surgeon, 76th F A, Lieutenant D Roscoe Peacock, 76th F A, Major Beasley was killed October 13 near Romagne-sous-Montfaucon. He was awarded the D S C posthumously for extraordinary heroism in searching for wounded under fire.
