Navybean Posted August 30, 2015 #1 Posted August 30, 2015 I have seen a number of posting over the past couple of weeks of 91st Division groups. Since this Division is one of my favorites I though I would list a couple of my examples. First is 1st LT Ray Dumett (later 2nd LT) of the 346th Machine Gun Battalion of the 91st Division. He won the Belgium Croix De Guerre w/ Palm for fighting in Belgium around Flanders. Group included paperwork, tunic, helmet and citation
Navybean Posted August 30, 2015 Author #4 Posted August 30, 2015 my second group is of a 91st Division enlisted man, signal man from Orofino Idaho. He Served in the 316th Signal Battalion. Group included his tunic and paperwork.
Navybean Posted August 30, 2015 Author #6 Posted August 30, 2015 My last 91st Division Grouping is of Gilbert Straabe of the 361st Infantry Company D of the 91st Division. Straabe won the DSC on October 3rd 1918. Grouping includes a tunic, DSC certificate, picture of Gilbert in studio after receiving the DSC wearing tunic, picture of Gilbert with other vets after having received the DSC. lastly is his DSC (might have been a replacement). hope you enjoy.
Navybean Posted August 30, 2015 Author #7 Posted August 30, 2015 more of Straabe's grouping web gear is not from the group but part of a display.
Navybean Posted August 30, 2015 Author #10 Posted August 30, 2015 thanks please add to the topic with your examples.
12thengr Posted August 30, 2015 #11 Posted August 30, 2015 My Great-Uncle was with Co. 'K' 361st Inf. I've got his Victory Medal some documentation and two "yard longs' and this individual picture of him. The Oregon State Medal I added to the group.
Navybean Posted August 31, 2015 Author #12 Posted August 31, 2015 Great group, love the victory medal with bars Thanks for sharing
4th Miss Cav Posted August 31, 2015 #13 Posted August 31, 2015 Great collection, lots of interesting items in the background as well.
Navybean Posted August 31, 2015 Author #14 Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks for the comments, yes there are a few foreign WW1 tunics hidden in the back ground in honor of the100th anniversary I have set up my WW1 combatants

Old_Steel1917 Posted September 5, 2015 #16 Posted September 5, 2015 Hello to all, I try to make my contribution sharing with you this uniform of 91th. I hope you like it. cheers O.S.
trenchbuff Posted September 5, 2015 #18 Posted September 5, 2015 Great uniforms groups! Always enjoy seeing 91st stuff!
Red Devil Posted September 5, 2015 #19 Posted September 5, 2015 Great 91st Division jackets and items pictured here! As a proud native of the northwest, the first uniform grouping I ever bought in undergrad was a WWI 91st jacket and gas mask, identified to a soldier named Brison from the 363rd HQ; he hailed from California if I remember my research correctly. I have constructed a display around this jacket and every year bring it in to my classroom to teach WWI through the lens of the 91st and also the more local 32nd ID.

Stahlberg Posted September 9, 2015 #23 Posted September 9, 2015 last of the group. By the way, does the Distinguished Service Cross have a SN?
Navybean Posted September 29, 2015 Author #24 Posted September 29, 2015 I believe the cross is a replacement and does not have a number
