robinb Posted August 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2020 Got this Saturday from the vets grandson. Emery L. Knickerbocker, Company K 33rd Michigan. I especially like the M1883 blue wool shirt with the 33 MICH on the collar. Incudes his fork and knife, diary and scrapbook. Link to post Share on other sites

scottiques Posted August 17, 2020 Share #15 Posted August 17, 2020 Great grouping-- the embroidered blue shirt is my favorite piece. I am not familiar with the Regiment-- did they make it over into theater or were they a mobilized state side Regiment? Scott Link to post Share on other sites
robinb Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share #16 Posted August 17, 2020 They did make it to Cuba and saw action. Link to post Share on other sites
scottiques Posted August 17, 2020 Share #17 Posted August 17, 2020 1 hour ago, robinb said: They did make it to Cuba and saw action. All the better for the grouping! Vast majority of units only saw mobilization and stateside service in one of the Southern Camps. Lots of disease but no action. Scott Link to post Share on other sites
robinb Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share #18 Posted August 17, 2020 The unit history for K co. 33rd Michigan is on line. It's a good read. My guy did get malaria. Link to post Share on other sites
