Unit 127 comprised two men, no officers, an utopia for the enlisted men. Strangely enough, this unit later became the most-heavily officered in the company when one of the two men got a direct commission.

  The men were S/Sgt "Bud' Woods and Tec 4 "Nate" Cutler, Woods doing the movies and Cutler the stills. Their mission: General Bradley.

  Cutler Joined Bradley at Verdun when the 12th Army Group Chief lived in his vans in a field. He found the three-star general completely unlike a top army general. He was fatherly, pleasant, very plain and simple. He couldn't understand why an army photographer should be assigned to him. Yet this was the man behind the brainpower in the American fighting strategy. At that time he bossed Patton and Hodges. Later his command was to include four armies, adding the 9th and 15th to the 1st and 3rd, thus giving him the distinction of commanding more men in the field than any other general in American combat history.

  Cutler's first big picture story came when General Marshall flew in from the states and conferred with Bradley. His next came when Bradley was decorated by the King of England with practically every high-ranking general in the ETO in attendance.

  Woods, working at first in combat, Joined Cutler at Luxembourg City, being pulled in when a need developed for newsreel coverage of the 12th Army Group boss.

  Woods and Cutler then worked as a team covering numerous Bradley jaunts by jeep over icy roads, catching visiting dignitaries, and the usual stuff that develops around such a headquarters.

  From Luxembourg City, Bradley moved his headquarters back to Namur, Belgium, the push back being necessitated by the German Ardennes offensive. A thrilling trip made by Woods and Cutler out of Namur came when Bradley, with Eisenhower, crossed the Rhine into the Remagen Bridgehead area before the general Rhine crossing assault.

  With the Germans on the run, Bradley moved back to Luxembourg City for a brief period, and then went into Wiesbaden, Germany. Here Woods, culminating his splendid record with the company, received the Gold bars of a 2nd lieutenant with Bradley, now a four-starred general, personally performing the pin-up. In addition, Bradley signed woods' discharge as an enlisted man.

  From Wiesbaden, Woods and Cutler orient to Bad Wildungen with group headquarters, and there the war ended.

  Both photogs say there is no finer man, no finer General than Bradley.
