AustinO Posted April 24, 2019 Share #1001 Posted April 24, 2019 Another recent studio shot that has been impossible to ID. A 9th Infantry officer and his brother, who must have been in one of the Machine Gun Battalions of the 82nd - his collar is just a bit too dark to read a number, but you can see the MG patch on his sleeve under the 82nd. Photo came from the SC/GA border and I couldn't find a pair of brothers/relatives in either states records that fit the bill. A shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinO Posted April 24, 2019 Share #1002 Posted April 24, 2019 And this studio shot I really lucked into this past weekend, a group of Battery D 5th Artillery men throwing dice and redistributing pay in Germany.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysteriousoozlefinch Posted May 7, 2019 Share #1003 Posted May 7, 2019 Here's an interesting one from the North Carolina State Library. Surfman Prochorus L. O’Neal of Rodanthe, N.C., sometime after the August 1918 SS Mirlo rescue. Like most ex-US Lifesaving Service personnel, his uniform is a mix of old and new. He was stationed at the Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USARV72 Posted May 7, 2019 Share #1004 Posted May 7, 2019 My Great Uncle and Aunt. He was in N. Russian, wounded, sent to hospital in France and met her. IIRC, married in France, returned home( N.C.) in 1924? Knew them as a kid and always wanted to see all he brought home. 1911, uniforms, helmets and lots of other goodies. Sadly they both passed away late 60s, their only son got everything, turned out to be a drunk and sold it all cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerialbridge Posted July 14, 2019 Share #1008 Posted July 14, 2019 "This remarkable photo from circa 1918 depicts American Soldiers paying tribute to the millions of horses, donkeys and mules that were killed during WW1. In addition to the thousands of soldiers who were killed during the first great war, over 8 million horses, donkeys and mules were brutally slaughtered in battle.In this photograph, American soldiers pay tribute to the animals who helped them win the war. They have joined together to form a horse's head and this moving photograph commemorates the forgotten animals who gave their lives to the nation. The touching black and white photo is believed to have been taken by officers of the Auxiliary Remount Dept. No.326 in Camp Cody, New Mexico."

AustinO Posted April 28, 2021 Share #1013 Posted April 28, 2021 Have picked up too many photos recently to add, but this one was a recent scan (as well as recent favorite). Came with a lot of 78th patched shots, so assuming he is a New Jersey boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rooster Posted April 30, 2021 Share #1015 Posted April 30, 2021 This is a shot of my Grandfather Paul on my Dads side. He was a clerk on General Pershings staff at AEF Headquarters in the Engineering dept. He had a brownie camera with him and Im riding this shot along that he took of a train full of German POWS. Grandpa died in 1989. The first shot of him could be late 1917.. The last one is after the armistice. He has considerably more bling on his uniform compared with zero on the first pic.

cthomas Posted November 14, 2022 Share #1025 Posted November 14, 2022 Lt. Harry D. Hotaling served with the 166th AS from 10.12.18 to the Armistice & beyond. He hailed from Ponca City, Oklahoma & took his flight training at Kelly Field, TX before heading for the war in Europe in August 1918. Seen here at a Studio in Trier, Germany, just a hop/skip/jump from being stationed with the squadron at the Zeppelin Hangar grounds in Trier.
