Cartoons of the 545th MP Company
A Pictorial History

Prepared by CPT Sam Reinert
As of May 6, 2010

Throughout the history of the 545th Military Police Company the unit has had some favorite cartoons and many of them were even drawn by 545th MP’s themselves. The following is a photo history of some of these cartoons and drawings for all to enjoy.

Fort Bliss

Horse Cavalry Days

 

World War II

 

 

 

 

Japan

 

CPT Louis Mehl drawn by a 545th MP at Camp Drake

 

IG Inspection at Camp Drake, Japan

 

 

CPT Mehl was known for his fast driving and someone in the unit drew this cartoon of him at Camp Drake

 

This was probably someone in MPI at Camp Drake who cannot be identified at this late date

 

There were several artists in the 545th at Camp Drake, Japan and this is just one of the many cartoons that old veterans and their widows have sent in.

 

When the 545th first placed their (Unauthorized) Cav Yellow MP Motorcycles on the road, the Division Chief of Staff gave CPT Mehl a lot of grief until the PM and the CG finally authorized the use of them.

 

When CPT Mehl assigned 1LT Shirley the additional duty as “Pro Kit/VD Officer” the members of the unit started calling him LT Protiva.

If anyone has any MP Cartoons or cartoons that the MP’s enjoyed and shared with other MP’s (like Bob on the FOB), please send me copies so that I can add them to this photo history.
