338thRCT Posted February 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 15, 2015 Found these two photographs at a junk store along with a group of others from the Panama Canal Zone prior to WW2. Wasn't able to tell which ship this was until I got the pictures home and saw that the name had been written on the backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharfmaster Posted February 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted February 16, 2015 According to the 1930 Census, your man was an electrical workman at the power plant at Gatun, Panama. Great photos ! Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
338thRCT Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks for the lead Wharfmaster...you inspired me to search further and found via Ancestry that Albert Horle born Nov. 1881 near Boston, was a Sgt in a Signalsl Unit of the 6th Inf Regt. Was discharged on 23 Nov. 1906 at Leavenworth ,KS. Couldn't find much more, but the unit may have been in the Phillipines during his time .He died in the Boston ,Mass area in 1958 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
