Nice group of "Wildcat" images. I wonder hat the significance is of the basket (an unusual prop for a photo) held by the Doughboy who's also holding a French flag?

 

Also the Doughboys in post's No. 5 & 6 look to be wearing "square toed" British issue field shoes.

I have a tunic from the 81st division, wish I had one of those pics haha. The 81st did some training here in my county of Greenville,SC at camp Sevier

Do any of those photos happen to have any names?

I recently picked up a diary kept by a soldier from the 81st and it'd be kinda neat if one of the pics corresponded to someone pictured here

Enjoyed looking through the WWI 81st Div pictures. They are one of the WWI units that I collect, but overtime, getting more difficult to come across. I also have family from the Greenville, SC area where both the 81st and 30th Divisions trained at Camp Sevier prior to going overseas.
