jagjetta Posted March 1, 2016 Share #607 Posted March 1, 2016 Here are a couple images of 27th Infantry soldiers, probably bound for Siberia (that is, I suspect the images where taken in the U.S.--probably San Francisco). The first is "Private Reino Kervey, Co., 27th Infantry A.E.F. Siberia. via San Francisco, California" The second was taken in the same studio and is inscribed, "I send one picture last week so if that letter gets lost this one will an's its purpose. Don't forget those pictures you promised to send. You ought to have some printed by this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagjetta Posted March 1, 2016 Share #609 Posted March 1, 2016 Novelty photo taken in a French studio, ca. 1919, shows two doughboys, one wearing a French Roold-style safety helmet. The soldier in the rear of the "plane" appears to have a 38th Division shoulder patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagjetta Posted March 4, 2016 Share #617 Posted March 4, 2016 Here's one I am confident I had posted because I didn't even SEE the Distinguished Service Cross until I scanned the image! No info on the back of the RPPC to reveal anything about this tight, little German studio setting. The soldier seated on the right of the image has a shoulder insignia, but I can't make it out. Looks to be diamond shaped so maybe 5th or 26th Division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMcCulloch Posted March 5, 2016 Share #623 Posted March 5, 2016 A fitting post for Veterans Day. Apparently this Indian Wars veteran was one of the chosen veterans to help preside over the first ceremony. Anyone have any clues to his name? Although he wrote it on the back, the fluid handwriting is enigmatic to these young eyes. L.B. Milner, 1435 R Street, DC 1921. I have always wondered about this one as it was sent to an address in Wiscasset one street over from my old office. Obviously someone who met Clara during the Unknown Soldier Ceremony on Veterans' Day, 1921. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
