Do you know his middle name or initial?

 

I may have once owned his French uniform and an overcoat.

He didn't have a middle name as far as I can tell although I can't imagine there were many Americans named Thomas Wharton that served in the French Army. Wharton continues to be an enigma as I have hints of other items out there from what must have been a large grouping at one time.

This thread is triggering a memory!

Was this on the GWF?

I looked this guy up @ 4-5 years ago in the Harvard archives. He is my 4th cousin:3rd removed.

Do you have his Italian war time photo album at all? I remember seeing it and his Italian wound certificate at some point.

Did you post this at GMIC?

By the way- Chris Boonzaier and Prosper Keating can help you with French research. Chris and his comrade Bernard are both French Foreign Legion vets and always take an interest in stuff like this.

 

Hi Jim,

 

Digging up some old threads here. No I have not seen his Italian Wound Cert or his photo album, what all can you tell me about it? Where did you see it, who had etc.,etc. No, I didn't post this on the GMIC? Did you see a thread on Wharton on that site? If so, can you post a link?
