patches Posted August 7, 2014 Share #327 Posted August 7, 2014 Here are a few of mine. 128th IN of the 32nd Division: 128th1.jpg 2nd Division: 2nd1.jpg A studio prop of an airplane with doughboys: rppcplane1.jpg And finally, an interesting WW1 soldier but taken in 1931: moh1.jpg Scott scottiques And who is this MOH holder???

scottiques Posted August 7, 2014 Share #328 Posted August 7, 2014 And who is this MOH holder??? Lloyd Seibert (upon promotion to Chief Warrant Officer): Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company F, 364th Infantry, 91st Division. Place and date: Near Epinonville, France, September 26, 1918. Entered service at: Salinas, Calif. Birth: Caledonia, Mich. G.O. No.: 445, W.D., 1919. Citation: Suffering from illness, Sgt. Seibert remained with his platoon and led his men with the highest courage and leadership under heavy shell and machinegun fire. With 2 other soldiers he charged a machinegun emplacement in advance of their company, he himself killing one of the enemy with a shotgun and capturing 2 others. In this encounter he was wounded, but he nevertheless continued in action, and when a withdrawal was ordered he returned with the last unit, assisting a wounded comrade. Later in the evening he volunteered and carried in wounded until he fainted from exhaustion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottiques Posted August 7, 2014 Share #329 Posted August 7, 2014 Another one that I recently purchased: I knew that the 78th had a pretty good combat record, but was pleasantly suprised upon research of the company (B, 311th Infantry). I found an online unit history for the specific company: The unit deployed with 232 officers and soldiers and suffered considerable casualties: 36 KIA, another 13 DOW, 83 WIA, 16 Gassed, and 22 MIA. That is a total of 170 COMBAT Casualties! https://archive.org/stream/historyofcompany00colo#page/110/mode/2up Scott scottiques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottiques Posted August 7, 2014 Share #331 Posted August 7, 2014 He looks different in my image, but of course it was taken about 15 years later. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Driver Posted August 8, 2014 Share #332 Posted August 8, 2014 Ever since I first saw this thread I've been wanting to contribute. I had some photos from my Grandparents house of a few of the local guys who served. It took me forever to track them down. I finally found em! First is Carl Lundberg. He was from a farm near the small South Dakota town of Strandburg. He was part of Company I, 31st Infantry, 88th Infantry Division. Sadly Carl died of Pneumonia while in France on September 14, 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Driver Posted August 8, 2014 Share #333 Posted August 8, 2014 This is Albert England from Labolt, South Dakota, another small town near Strandburg. He didn't make it overseas but served as an Aero mechanic at Selfridge Aviation Field in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Driver Posted August 8, 2014 Share #334 Posted August 8, 2014 Last is Emil Anderson. He's a distant relative but I've never been able to nail down his unit. My understanding is he didn't make it to France either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanemono Posted August 20, 2014 Share #340 Posted August 20, 2014 Here are two studio photographs of William L. Clark when he was an ambulance driver for the American Field Service in 1916 and as a 5th Marine 1917-1919. Clark is on the right. Notice the AFS pin next to the shooting badge.

patches Posted November 27, 2014 Share #341 Posted November 27, 2014 Looks good right mmmmm A Sailor and a Soldier wuff down Turkey at a Thanksgiving banquet 1918, unknown where this is, most likely here in the States. If so, since it is a Sailor and a Soldier together, possible too that this is not on a military installation, but rather in a civilian setting in a city or town somewhere, like a Thanksgiving thrown for servicemen by some civic organization or city/town fathers etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted March 21, 2015 Share #347 Posted March 21, 2015 My Irish Paternal Grandfather, Pvt John Matthews, I no nothing about his WW service, however my Father stated he was not in France. By the looks of the cap cord, Infantry, but Regiment and Division unknown, could be he was in one of those still forming Divisions' like the 9th or 11th Divs etc etc . My spy at the old War Department couldn't find anything either, though he did find his censuses from the 20s and 30s (he died young, 1886-1937). And another with a comrade, Grand Da on left.

1st Sgt CES Posted April 17, 2015 Share #349 Posted April 17, 2015 OK Gents, I got off my butt and scanned in my favorite photo find. WW1 Naval aviator George Clark Mosely, ex Lafayette Flying Corps. Note the LFC ribbon with the Indian head pin below his wing. Also note the would stripe on the right sleeve. This is the same photo in the front of his book "Extracts of the War Letters of George Clark Mosely". I had the photo for several months, didn't know who it was and then showed it to a friend who had gotten Mosely's LFC badge, etc. plus duplicate copies of his book from the family! I bought one of the extra cased, uncut copies of the book from my friend and keep the photo with the book. Charlie W. GCMPortrait.jpg Great Photo !! I like early US Navy wings a lot----Blue Skies Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
