Glendale Queens New York Boy in a Tennessee Regiment

[patches]

Came across this partial article in the nostalgia section of my local neighborhood newspaper, The Ridgewood Times, a write up of this officer, Captain Henry L. Abbes, C.O. K Company 117th Infantry, 30th Infantry Division, on his involvement in the capture of a German General, Kurt Dittmar.

 

 

A further online search led me to this great photo find, interesting thing about this photo of Captain Abbes and General Dittmar posing is they seem like old friends .
