CW4AFB Posted December 26, 2016 Share #858 Posted December 26, 2016 Infantryman of the 3rd Army Occupation era. The disk is blurry, but it looks like E company, 5th Infantry Regiment. Fantastic portrait--5th Infantry Rgt would make sense as they arrived in Coblenz in late 1919 to prepare for a mission in Silesia. The mission was cancelled so the 5th remained in Germany until 1921-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthomas Posted December 27, 2016 Share #862 Posted December 27, 2016 Looks like 89th ID Can you make out the collar disc? It's either 89th Div Supply Train or a 314th Engineers (89th Div) variant. My money's on Supply Train... Great photos by the way! -Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Queen Posted December 28, 2016 Share #864 Posted December 28, 2016 Very nice photos. Thanks for posting. Speaking of A of O here is one you don't see too often. The A of O patch being worn by a Marine. Reverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CW4AFB Posted December 28, 2016 Share #865 Posted December 28, 2016 Reverse Eric-- what a great shot---thanks for sharing---You're right about the scarcity of marines wearing Third Army patches---from my research it appears the only marines to do so were those who served on the Rhine River patrol or were assigned for some reason to work in the Third Army HQ---Here's Corporal Edward J. Donnelly at the helm of the SS Mosel and passing under the Remagen Bridge in January 1919 I have been building a spreadsheet of the members of the Marine Rhine River Patrol but did not have your guy's name---I'll have to do a little research and see if he fits...

jagjetta Posted December 29, 2016 Share #866 Posted December 29, 2016 Eric and Al, That is very interesting about Marines and the Rhine River Patrol. I really couldn't figure out why Eric's Marine had an Army of Occupation insignia, but Al sure offered a good explanation. Not as deep thinking, I thought this was a novelty studio portrait of four soldiers taken by the French photographer Chandioux (Verdun--his stamp is on the back of this RPPC). But, as I started to crop for sharing, I realized it was taken outside a building. The improvised studio has been decorated with a fake gangplank to nowhere and a cut-out life preserver for the "USS SALMON" (During WWI, no US Navy ship was named the "Salmon," though SS-19 had started life as the "Salmon" in 1910. The Salmon was renamed the D-3 in 1910 and then the SS-19 in 1911). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthomas Posted January 10, 2017 Share #869 Posted January 10, 2017 Show offs! You guys are posting some premium images... Since I have yet to upload some of my own "premium" content to my phone, this one will have to do...for now. An 82nd Division band member wearing two different types of Officer collar insignia: a typical blackened one on his collar, and a gilt variant on his OS cap. It reminds me of another thread I've been meaning to start - Enlisted/NCOs wearing Officer insignia, both in the studio & out in the field. - Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthomas Posted January 17, 2017 Share #871 Posted January 17, 2017 An interesting assortment of war veterans. Front Row: Spanish American War veteran from Maine(always loved those Span Am vet medals), and a 1st Div doughboy wearing what appears to be a Croix de Guerre ribbon bar w/ bronze star. Back row: Enlisted Air Service pilot with winged 4-bladed prop on his upper right sleeve, followed by three other doughboys (haven't been able to determine their unit affiliation). Note they are all wearing the same town medal. I can't help but wonder if these are all local Maine men posing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
