Holyfield24 Posted April 17, 2018 Share #977 Posted April 17, 2018 YMCA officer sporting a beautiful bullion District of Paris shoulder patch during a sitting at the famous R.Sobol studio. Hi. This photo is beautiful. Where have you heard about this R. Sobol photo studio ? Do you own any other photos shot by this studio during WWI ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinO Posted April 17, 2018 Share #978 Posted April 17, 2018 I don't usually spring for the studio shots, but this RPPC was cheap enough and has great clarity (even if my cell phone camera doesn't). 1st Lt John A Hildebrand, HQ 342nd FA.

jagjetta Posted June 4, 2018 Share #980 Posted June 4, 2018 Los Angeles Express press photo of Sgt. Johnny Beckett "wearing his 'tin hat'."

Marine-165-WW-427P-1031.jpg Marine-165-WW-427P-2.jpg Marine-165-WW-427P-3.jpg That definitely isn't a Mk. I or m1917 helmet. I suspect it's made of fiberboard, and I've seen similar "helmets" being worn by Marines in southern California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchet Posted August 4, 2018 Share #984 Posted August 4, 2018 My Grandfather, William Masis. The war ended just before his artillery unit was to head overseas. I still have the lapel pins. Not sure who the second person was in the group photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinO Posted August 5, 2018 Share #985 Posted August 5, 2018 I think I did OK at the recent postcard show. Pretty sure he's 371st Infantry but not quite sure if its a red hand patch or not: These three 361st Infantry men had their photo taken in Nogent-Le-Rotrou after the armistice. I think that the guy on the left is wearing one of the USS (Scouts) collar discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinO Posted August 5, 2018 Share #986 Posted August 5, 2018 Will share this armed squad photo as well. Unfortunately no details as to who (mix of US and USNA discs), but taken in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72psb Posted August 5, 2018 Share #987 Posted August 5, 2018 The soldier to the left of the X could be a younger version or brother of Sgt A.York even down to the style of hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hink441 Posted August 23, 2018 Share #990 Posted August 23, 2018 I thought I had posted this one before, but apparently I did not. This is a second studio portrait of Lt. Ernest L. Sutton of Suffolk Va. This one he is wearing his cover. The first photo is on post #375 on page #15. 29th Div. 116th Infantry. Here is the earlier previously posted photo without the cover.

Salvage Sailor Posted February 2, 2019 Share #991 Posted February 2, 2019 On 12/27/2015 at 1:08 PM, Salvage Sailor said: By the end of 1918, the majority of the regular US army infantry regiments had been sent to the A.E.F. The 2nd Infantry Regiment, after serving in heavy combat in every US conflict including several recent tours in the Philippines, was posted to Fort Shafter, Hawaiian Territory in 1913. At that time they were the only infantry regiment in the Hawaiian Territory in the pre-Hawaiian Department/Division army. By 1915 they were guarding the interned belligerent ships and crews of the European powers in Honolulu harbor. These 2nd Infantry photos were taken in 1915 and developed by the post studio at Fort Shafter. 2nd Infantry Dress Blues 1915 Company F More Fort Shafter Blues, Private Buck 2nd Infantry Regiment, Company I, Fort Shafter T.H. 1914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauthieb3sxz Posted February 5, 2019 Share #992 Posted February 5, 2019 One from my collection - a recent purchase. Who can go wrong with a BAR posed photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted February 11, 2019 Share #993 Posted February 11, 2019 I thought that these two images would be of interest. Both were taken in Dublin in 1919. My best guess is that they were taken of soldier in a hospital due to the visible cane and mix of ranks and Divisions. I see soldiers, a LT and CPT. Also the shoulder sleeve insignia of both the 82nd and 33rd Divisions are present. I believe that the old guy is a local civilian coaxed into the photo (probably with booze) so his jacket and hat could be used! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted February 11, 2019 Share #994 Posted February 11, 2019 Another recent acquisition. Probably a Mexican Border era image of a soldier and his buddy. His buddy needs to watch that smoking-- it will kill him! Another of a soldier and his pet cat. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagjetta Posted March 26, 2019 Share #995 Posted March 26, 2019 Some great images here! Austin: That African American with French equipment and rifle is a top-shelf historical document! Brennan: Just another day scoring BAR images, eh? Scott: hat's off for some of the wildest poses! And Salvage, those 2nd Infantry guys must have really made the local photographer rich! Here is one of my latest, but I am coming up empty on the research. The inscription on the back looks like "Dag McFarlane" but I must be barking up the wrong tree. I can't find a Marine officer with that name. ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted March 26, 2019 Share #996 Posted March 26, 2019 "Charles Conard in Army" (inscription on reverse). Great image showing a very early rendition of the Hawaiian Department shoulder patch. Thanks for posting!

I can't find a Marine officer with that name. John, Dan McFarland commissioned from Gy Sgt in 1918, went over with Co I 13th Marines. Here's one that has been a puzzle for me (in fact I just listed it on ebay because I spent too much time trying to find him). A young New Yorker in the Rainbow Division.

The photo was taken, post-war, in Hawaii. The only info on it is the handwritten, "Field Artillery C.O." Since Hutchinson took command of the 11 Field Artillery Brigade of the Hawaiian Division in 1922, I was trying to determine if this is a photo of him (not a studio portrait, but shared here just for comparison).

That research hound, AustinO, saw past my roadblock and identified the Marine Lt. as Dan McFarland, 13th Marines, Co. I. Between you, him, and AZNation, the research ability on the forum is unsurpassed! JAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
