This is the only W.W.1 photo I own. I collect W.W.2 8th AAF items but I could not pass this up. People just seem to like this picture. He has a very serious look in his eye. I wish I knew is story.

Glad to see this thread is still producing some great images ( I was the orginal poster some 15 pages ago). Here is a rather portly infantryman, whose uniform strains to contain him in a few places.

SGT Arthur Kroepfl, E Co, 128th Infantry 32nd Division, This was taken summer of 1917, just after his enlistment in 1st Wisconsin Co E which was reorganized into the 128th. Born in 1899, he died of his wounds sometime in September or October 1918 at the age of 19. The Department of Wisconsin American Legion charted Post number 1 in his honor in Milwaukee Wisconsin, his remains were brought back in 1921.

Did research on this man. He had been in 1912-1915, then must have been drafted back in in 1917 and remained in the service until the 1920's
