Gerald George Chikalla

West Point, 1955

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Charles W Jeffress on November 3, 2014:

I knew Lt. Chlkalla in 1957-1959. I was a PFC in B Co.,1st Battle Group,15th Infantry Reg. 3rd Infantry Division stationed in Bamberg, Germany. Lt. Chikalla was the Exec. Officer of the Co.

I remember him as a barrel chested man in great physical condition. He played on the championship Bamberg football team.

He use to stand on the exercise platform , hands on hips , in front of the whole company , and say : "We're going to play a new game today , young troopers , it's called YOU LOSE !"

I'll never forget him !

He's with the angels now !

Warm Regards ,

Charlie
