Before the war, he listed hi occupation as a sheet metal worker. On October 4th, 1917, he was inducted into the Infantry and assigned to the 84th Division. He trained at Camp Taylor, KY, Camp Shelby, MS and Camp Hancock, Georgia. After Camp Hancock, he was sent to Camp Greene, NC where the Motor Mechanics Regiments were being formed. On January 29th 1918, he was transferred to Signal Corps for assignment to a regiment. He was initially assigned to the 4th Company, 3rd Regiment, but was later transferred to the 6th Company. It wasn't until October 1918 that the name of the regiment was changed to the Air Service Mechanics (ASM) Regiment. The regiment was broken down into specialties with each specialty forming a company. He sailed from Jersey City on June 23rd 1918 on the PATRIA. He arrived in Brest on July 5th, 1918. He was stationed at Romorantin, France from July 13th until May 31st, 1919. Stein's ID tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks CdG. After all of those officer groups, I thought we should post some of the men who made it possible for those "knights of the air" to take wing. After all we know that Air Service/Air Corps/Air Force enlistedmen are the smartest of all enlisted. In the other services, the officers salute their men and send them off to battle, in the Air Force, the enlisted salute the officers and send them off to fight!

Belleauwood Posted February 6, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 6, 2009 Erick, Nice group! - I think sometimes that good enlisted Air Service groupings are more difficult to come across than officer's items. Great rank patch. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
