mkite93 Posted April 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2020 Found this piece of wwi trench art recently and couldnt pass it up. I normally dont collect trench art but when I saw the 332nd connection I had to pick it up to go with a 332nd uniform I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertmedals Posted April 17, 2020 Share #7 Posted April 17, 2020 Excellent piece -- thanks for posting it. I can't read the inscription too well but it looks like Don H. Johnston. Is that correct? That would line up with Donald H. Johnston from Collins, Ohio who was in M Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertmedals Posted April 17, 2020 Share #12 Posted April 17, 2020 It attracted my interest because Collins, Ohio is not too far from my house and is a pretty small place. Don Johnston is buried in the Collins Cemetery. He has 2 headstones. Here is the first one courtesy of Find a Grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmedals Posted April 17, 2020 Share #13 Posted April 17, 2020 And the second also from Find a Grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkite93 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted April 17, 2020 He must have been proud of his 332nd service to put on his headstone. Too bad I didn’t find his uniform too but who knows if it survived or not. I had never seen a 332nd piece of trench art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
