jagjetta Posted December 9, 2015 Share #408 Posted December 9, 2015 Two 82nd Division soldiers photographed in France, ca. 1918. Inscription on the back reads: "We had taken a day or two before Lloyd left. Our new insignia was issued before we left Chouilly, containing the double A. Must send Lloyd his share when I hear from him and get his address." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check mine under magnification to see if it is a Tank Corps chevron.... Steve McG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagjetta Posted December 11, 2015 Share #414 Posted December 11, 2015 Some super images in this thread. Wow. Here is my humble offering. Emmett Baker, 3rd Bn. 13th Regiment (5th Marine Brigade) Corpsman. A magnificent image, Eric! I haven't seen a WWI-era photo of a Corpsman before This is a great record of how the insignia was worn on the forest green tunic. Thanks for sharing.

Mitter2k1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share #415 Posted December 12, 2015 Wow these are some great photos everyone keeps posting. Here are a few I have posted elsewhere on the forum but thought that I would share them here. First up is a pair of photos of Sgt. Arthur Frederick August Frick from Des Plaines, Illinois. He served with HQ Company, 130th Infantry Regiment, 33rd Division. Arthur was Wounded in Action on November 7, 1918 and Cited for Gallantry by Gen. Bell. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share #416 Posted December 12, 2015 Here is another great photo that I came across and couldn't pass up. This is a Colonel with 3 overseas chevrons and what I think is his grandson decked out in a neat sailor costume. I really with this was named, but like many others, it isn't. The photo itself and a few others I bought at the same time all came out of Ohio, so maybe one of our members from there could share some light on his identity. Next is a great RPPC of a MIT ROTC cadet from Massachusetts. I am thinking his name is Frank Brown since he never signed his last name and the back is addressed to what I can only assume are his parents. This one has a great shot of the MIT hat badge, collar devices and sleeve patch. I don't think I have ever seen any of these in my few short years of collecting. And the back complete with stamp and short message. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scmcgeorge Posted December 14, 2015 Share #417 Posted December 14, 2015 RE: # 412 - two Doughboys with a French blue devil- I checked my copy of this image - no inscription and I can't make out any Tank Corps insignia on either Doughboy.

jagjetta Posted December 16, 2015 Share #419 Posted December 16, 2015 A bit of an unconventional pose for a studio portrait, but in the studio, nonetheless. The unnamed soldier has taken up his position in front of the painted backdrop and behind the toppled studio posing column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunkerhillburning Posted December 16, 2015 Share #424 Posted December 16, 2015 stunning AND poignant image! So uncommon to see true emotion expressed. Thanks for sharing this delightful shot. I do really like the joyful emotion expressed in the photo and that is was taken in my home town. But there is also the sadder aspect in that the little boy depicted would more than likely have been involved in WWII some 20 odd years later. Can only imagine the grief the father felt at the thought of his boy going off to war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
