Ayers Kaserne - Kirch Göns, Germany

This page has several images that may take a minute or so to load on your system.  We will later add the history of Ayers Kaserne and information on its namesake.  SSgt. Ayers received the Distinguished Service Cross posthumously during WWII as a member of the 4th Infantry Division.  Like many barracks and kasernen in the 3AD area, Ayers holds the name of a 4th Infantry Division soldier.  This is because these areas were first garrisoned in the early post-WWII years by the 4th Infantry Division.  3d Armored Division took over these facilities during Operation Gyroscope in 1955-56.
