Vix Steel Posted May 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2017 Picked these up along with a few others. What was odd is that there is so many to the same man? Wasnt able to find any info on him but Im guess he was an Officer in WW2. The WW1 tag has 501st.A.C.S. , not sure what that means...Usually Army Service Corp? There is another ID tag named to a Bill with USMM S.S. Alabama...guess it was another relative? USMM = US Merchant Marine?? Kinda learning this stuff on the fly....thanx for any help..

USMarineCorps Posted May 29, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 29, 2017 501st ACS = 501st Aero Construction Squadron I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vix Steel Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 29, 2017 Areo Construction Sq. , never thought that. Interesting. I did some more looking around and was unable to come up with any info on this Harry Richcreek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMarineCorps Posted May 30, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2017 Pretty sure this is your guy: https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=131909822 It states that he was an USAAF officer during WWI and WWII so I'm pretty sure it's 501st Aero Construction Squadron.

USMarineCorps Posted May 30, 2017 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2017 I think you should request his files from St Louis as his service history must be very interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vix Steel Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted May 31, 2017 Thanx for the great info/help. The ww1 tag says "SERG'T" , would it be a big stretch to go from a Sgt to Col? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
