BryanJ Posted January 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2020 Recently picked up this WWI 8x10 photo and have tried to research the unit patch, with no luck. Anyone know what unit it’s from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolzer Posted January 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2020 All of the above are Mechanic and Artificer. Artificer means one who works with arms and weapons. This rank was created as a result of the Spanish American War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanJ Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks. Anyone see anything in the photo that would identify the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
