12thengr Posted January 31, 2023 Share #53 Posted January 31, 2023 I mentioned earlier at the start of this topic (5 or 6 years ago) that I had yard longs from my Great-uncles company 'K' 361st Infantry. Over the years I've identified a few of the other soldiers besides my G-uncle. 1st photo, group with my G-uncle in upper row middle. 2nd photo, John Bartruff. 3rd photo, Charles Simonson ( 1st Sgt.) Both of these men are also from my old home town, Bellingham, Wa. They, plus a couple others were found in 'With the Colors', from Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan Counties. Published by Louis Jacobin, 1921. I'll try and get a some shots of the full yard longs if their is any interest here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably a few vets in that picture from Mt and Idaho as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thengr Posted February 14, 2023 Share #56 Posted February 14, 2023 Strangely only a couple three Montana boys are included in the roster. That includes Stahlberg's Anchor Rasmussen, (post #38.) Many Idaho boys are listed and they also accounted for six of the fatalities, including Julius C. Zilkey from Challis Id. His remains are interred at Romagne-Sous-Montfaucon Cemetery in the Meuse-Argonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted February 16, 2023 Share #57 Posted February 16, 2023 Fort Lewis has a really neat World War 1 Memorial for the 91st Division. Honesty one of the best memorials I’ve ever see. It’s at the base of the parade field near all of the general’s housing. The museum has some pictures of the 91st Division marching on review prior to shipping out for the war.

Sailorjerry45 Posted January 8 Share #64 Posted January 8 My small contribution to the thread, all of these items were sourced locally in southern MN. The belt and canteen setup belongs to a member of the 347th MG battalion, the helmet has no identifying marks as far as names or initials but is a good addition non the less.

Red Devil Posted January 16 Share #66 Posted January 16 On 8/25/2019 at 5:36 PM, Stahlberg said: After a long absence I've picked up a handful of items I'd like to share. Anyone else with 91st items are strongly encouraged to do so as well. Maurice Ludwig Johnson was born on April 11th, 1893 to Swedish immigrants in Seattle, Washington. Maurice registered for the draft June 5th, 1917 out of Selah, Washington, where he was presently employed as a farmer. Maurice was inducted into the U.S. Army out of Yakima, Washington on April 25th, 1918. He was assigned to the 166th Depot Brigade in Camp Lewis, Washington until May 24th, 1918, when he was assigned to Company C, 347th Machine Gun Battalion, 91st Division. Maurice served overseas from July 6th, 1918 until April 20th, 1918. During his time overseas, he participated in all of the major campaigns of the 91st, including St Mihiel, Meuse Argonne, and Ypres-Lys. Maurice as discharged May 9th, 1919. By 1920, Maurice had retuned to his farm in Selah, Washington and was married to Ruth Johnson. By 1930, Maurice and Ruth had two daughters, Helen and Maurine, and was working on as a fruit farmer on his own farm. By 1940, Maurice was still employed as a fruit farmer. Maurice L Johnson passed away September 15th, 1971 in Selah, and is buried in Terrace Heights Memorial Park, Yakima, Washington. Very awesome! I believe recently came across this veteran's uniform set. The patch is a variation I had not previously seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
