Hohenecken Castle, Hohenecken, Germany
What has currently become a fireplace made of stone was once part of Burg Hohenecken's defensive ditch.

While stationed with the 596th Signal Support Company, 97th Signal Battalion, 7th United States Army between 1961 and 1962, my father, Lewis D. Whaley, and other GIs would hike to Burg Hohenecken from Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Specialist 4th-Class Whaley remembers spending time at Burg Hohenecken and the defensive ditch fireplace depicted here.
