world war I nerd Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share #54 Posted April 11, 2016 WW I, 2nd Army Engineer who looks like a more youthful Lou Dobbs, ex host of a CNN show and current host of a show on the Fox Business Network and an occasional guest on the O'Reilly Factor.

patches Posted April 18, 2016 Share #55 Posted April 18, 2016 How about this guy, a Ft Dix Basic Trng Co CO 1961. Dennis Quaid looks a lot like him, especially when Quaid portrayed Gordo in The Right Stuff, couldn't find a real good image of Quaid in The Right Stuff, mostly ones with Quaid with shades on, or in a space helmet, but found this one of him.

patches Posted May 3, 2016 Share #57 Posted May 3, 2016 This Pre WWII Soldier was originally posted by BOLO up in Helmets, and other members commented that he looks like Spencer Tracy, I think so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysmb44 Posted May 11, 2016 Share #60 Posted May 11, 2016 Ironically, he served in the US Army in WW2, mostly in Special Services. But played WW2 Germans several times. John Banner, as SGT Schultz, served in the AAF during WW2: Hard to believe that's the same man, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world war I nerd Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share #61 Posted May 29, 2016 At first I thought this Civil war sutler looked like a scruffy Bob Dylan. But when I compared him to that singer it dawned on me that he actually looked more like the British actor Christian bail or vice versa ...

aerialbridge Posted May 30, 2016 Share #64 Posted May 30, 2016 We know who the top celebrity is, Edward Everett Horton, but who's the one on the bottom Lloyd something or other?? Right. It's Harold Lloyd, best known for his silent comedies and stunts that he did himself. Here's Harold hanging out at 9th and Broadway in LA, from 1923's "Safety Last".

Yes indeedy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Lloyd For some reason I always thought Lloyd seved in the Army briefly in the Great War, apparently not. Unknown on his draft status as we can tell.

Unknown on his draft status as we can tell. You got my curiosity going. Lloyd's one of my favorite silent stars, probably because of his amazing stunt work-- with only one complete hand from a stunt explosion in 1919. He put exempt on his WW1 draft card- reason, to care for his father. Lloyd was exactly 35 days younger than my grampa, another Midwesterner, who also claimed an exemption on his WW1 draft card- to care for his 60 year old widowed mother but ended up enlisting in the Navy.

aerialbridge Posted July 12, 2016 Share #73 Posted July 12, 2016 Great thread! And it's even more fun to make Patches (or anyone else) ID who the lookalikes are. I think the celebrity will get identified before the military man. Hint- He was a naval officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted July 12, 2016 Share #75 Posted July 12, 2016 Got me C'mon, Patches-- you da' man! I know you can get this one. Neither of them are obscure--- just really old. The officer was a flag officer and the celebrity, with a mug like that, was from the Golden Age of Comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
