cthomas Posted July 25, 2007 #76 Posted July 25, 2007 2) 2nd Div Arty soldier who was apparently a marksman too...
cthomas Posted July 25, 2007 #77 Posted July 25, 2007 3) 1st Corp Arty soldiers with "Uncle Sam". Back says "Uncle Sam, Fred Miller and myself Armistice Day November 11, 1921 Spirit Lake Iowa"
Shenkursk Posted July 26, 2007 #78 Posted July 26, 2007 Here are a few more... 1) Wounded 1st Div Engineer And a fine example of an enlisted man wearing officer's collar insignia. You see this regularly with MTC, but not as often with the other branches. Very nice image!
cthomas Posted July 27, 2007 #79 Posted July 27, 2007 And a fine example of an enlisted man wearing officer's collar insignia. You see this regularly with MTC, but not as often with the other branches. Very nice image! Thanks Jeff. And in the spirit of keeping this thread going, here are a few more images. 1) 3rd Div soldier who was either arty or trench mortar. Can't tell for sure. Looks like his Victory ribbon has about 5 stars. Can anyone tell me what the first award is?
vintageproductions Posted July 27, 2007 #80 Posted July 27, 2007 Here's one we used for a show postcard a few years back. These guys had taste with their souvenirs.
cthomas Posted July 27, 2007 #81 Posted July 27, 2007 2) Clarence Mosser of the 3rd Div Co. B Arty? TM? Victory ribbon has 4 stars. His 3rd div patch is the finer quality variation made from a velvet material. It's pretty interesting to see that there was some attempt to edit his left collar disc on the original negative. His left collar disc has the U.S. with a regimental number below it. Unfortunately, I can't make out what it is. Can any one pull this guy's info up? I have no luck researching WWI on the NET.

cthomas Posted July 27, 2007 #83 Posted July 27, 2007 3) 6th Corps Signals with 4th Div buddy (or brother?)
solcarlus Posted July 29, 2007 #84 Posted July 29, 2007 Hello. To continue the series. 78 HT Inf.Div. - 312 HT Inf - Co "C" or "G". Oversea Stripes What means the piècede fabric with the bottom of the left sleeve? regards sol.
spd811 Posted July 30, 2007 #87 Posted July 30, 2007 This is the Third one of mine. 3rd Div with a State of Missouri service medal.
cthomas Posted July 31, 2007 #88 Posted July 31, 2007 A couple more for today... 1) Very sharp image of a 4th Division Medical officer. Nice variation of the 4th Div patch. He has 4 stars to his Victory ribbon and 3 on the other.
cthomas Posted August 1, 2007 #89 Posted August 1, 2007 2) Nice occupation image of some 26th Division soldiers. Note the machete in front...
KASTAUFFER Posted August 1, 2007 #90 Posted August 1, 2007 Here is a nice WWI or earlier USN image ( Studio card ) . No photographer imprint though. I love the gunpointer specialty marks .
cthomas Posted August 23, 2007 #91 Posted August 23, 2007 A couple more to bring this thread back to the top! 1) Some Yankee Division soldiers during occupation duties in Trier, Germany December 16, 1918
cthomas Posted August 23, 2007 #92 Posted August 23, 2007 2) 86th Division doughboy wearing an applied variant patch. There's something directly above the eagle's head that I cannot make out. All examples I've seen to date (and those aren't many...) do not have anything above the head. Another variant?
Stinger Gunner USMC Posted October 23, 2007 #93 Posted October 23, 2007 Here is a nice photo of a 7th div Engineer
BOLO Posted October 23, 2007 #94 Posted October 23, 2007 this sailor looks like Spanish American War or possibly WW1
BEAST Posted October 24, 2007 #96 Posted October 24, 2007 Well, I thought I would draw a few comments possibly questioning my sanity with this last post. This is a photo from my collection of "Queen". She was the mascot of Battery E, 137th Field Artillery. This image was most likely taken when the unit was at Camp Shelby in 1917.
Stinger Gunner USMC Posted October 25, 2007 #97 Posted October 25, 2007 I would like help identifying these photos. The first I believe is pre WWI? The Second maybe WWI, Aulstralia?
SI Gordon Posted October 30, 2007 #98 Posted October 30, 2007 Terry, This photo interests me a great deal. Any info on the back ? Its just a hunch but it kinda looks like the area of the Proving Ground in Clearspring MD where testing of the 37mm gun took place in WW1. I have been working on finding info on the grounds for several years. All the information on the proving ground located at the National Archives has been lost or misplaced. Regards, Bob
cthomas Posted October 31, 2007 #99 Posted October 31, 2007 Hey guys. Glad to see this thread is back up & running. I do enjoy having you share your studio portraits with us. Please keep it going! I decided to post more of my WWI portrait collection in the display section. Please stop by if you get the chance. And if you can help me ID a thing or two, by all means, feel free to say so! -Chuck
gunbarrel Posted December 4, 2007 #100 Posted December 4, 2007 I have several, but I'll start with my latest acquisition.
