Mansfield was one of the twelve soldiers who came to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas with Elvis. He was also posted to Germany with Elvis and a friendship developed that only ended when Rex and Elisabeth Stefaniak, who worked for Elvis as a secretary, fell in love.Elvis probably also had a fondness for Elisabeth, but of course he also pursued other interests. Eventually he married Elisabeth and although the two spoke very amicably and sensitively to Elvis about it, Elvis withdrew from Rex and Elisabeth. In 1983 he and his wife wrote the Graceland book “Elvis in Germany” (and “Elvis The Soldier”). In 2002, the book “Sergeant Presley: Our Untold Story Of Elvis’ Missing Years” was published in Canada and the USA.
