I thought I would bump this one. A number of my 91st groups have moved on but great fun to go back and review

I was unaware there was a 91st groupings thread. What a blast. At some point I'll try to post a neat 361st / D grouping I have. I recall the guy was a cook.  I've some other bric a brac from 91st guys as well.

 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.

Great follow up. There are probably a few vets in that picture from Mt and Idaho as well

 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.

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.

83 years ago, an oblique view of the 91st Division Monument with a review of the 9th Field Artillery in progress.
