Bellumbill Posted May 28, 2018 Share #28 Posted May 28, 2018 1st Lt. George Wale Jr. - 78th Company, 6th marines. Made it over in August 1918. Looks like he saw minimal action if any at all - looks as if he was sick in the months of Sept and Oct - by January 1919 he was home. My guess is that he was a victim of the influenza epidemic and luckily survived. But that is only speculation. Very Nice Bill K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Roelens Posted May 29, 2018 Share #29 Posted May 29, 2018 Congrats on a very rare, and historic USMC find. Several of these WWI era USMC Officer's covers have been popping up lately. Well Done! Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
