[edit] First name

Is it Jimmie or James? - Tronno ( t | c ) 14:44, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I am sure it is James. When I was stationed in Germany (FRG at the time) there was a "Montieth Barracks". I cannot remember what unit(s) was(were) stationed there, or what city it was in. We called it "Montieth", and refered to it often.
