Vectors Posted May 2, 2016 Share #584 Posted May 2, 2016 Lions of Cantigny.jpg An excellent portrait of a 28th Infantry 8th Infantry Division GI, one Carl Dinkler,of Clarksburg Ohio. photo most likely taken sometime in 1942. He was wounded in Brittany. It has been quite the surprise to see this photo, actually...... Carl Dinkler was my uncle. In fact, my favourite uncle. He was indeed wounded in Brittany...several times...by a sniper. For the rest of his life, he needed leg braces to walk. Yet ...he farmed not only his own land, but helped his older brother and my grandfather farm their land as well. My understanding is that he also received a medal (which one, I don't know as I never even knew about it until long after his death) for his actions which put him in front of that sniper. He passed away 01November82. Many thanks to Patches for honouring him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most respects this is what USMF is all about, the commemoration of men who wore the many uniforms/insignia, helmets and gear posted in the various forums here. As to that other medal, it will be the Bronze Star, while it's not mentioned, it could very well be with the V Device, V for a Valorous award of the Bronze Star. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=148629769 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinrik WD Posted June 1, 2016 Share #587 Posted June 1, 2016 Review of troops. The back ground looks similiar to the Desert Training Center at Fort Irwin, CA. Also notice the combination of equipment M-1 helmets and M1917A1 helmets, etc. Unfortunetly the caption for the photo is no longer with it. NWNS_PHO...P_REVEIW.jpg This photo was taken in Iceland.

SKYLINE DRIVE Posted June 1, 2016 Share #588 Posted June 1, 2016 phpuDyF99PM.jpg One Lieutenant Oid Wineland, from Osborne County Kansas, he fought in the 121st Inf, 8th Div in the big one. https://ochf.wordpress.com/2012/10/14/oid-lee-wineland-1996-inductee/ This picture was taken in Diekirch / Luxembourg, by the local photographer Mister Jules Ferry. The curtain and the tiles are a sure giveaway. The 8th Infantry Division was posted in northern Luxembourg, along the Siegfriedline, from 30th September 1944 until 19th November 1944. There are dozens of similar pictures in the collection of the Diekirch National Military History Museum. I have a picture of Captain Philip M. Turner of the 687th FA BN, taken in the same room.

Lawdog Posted August 20, 2016 Share #597 Posted August 20, 2016 My Dad, Gary H Underhill Sr., was a 20 year old medic with the 63rd Engineer Brigade Combat in Germany in 1956. The 63rd EBC was tasked with repairing bridges destroyed by allied bombing during the war. My dad is still with us, and says that some of his happiest years were in the Army.

Lawdog Posted August 20, 2016 Share #598 Posted August 20, 2016 I know that this photo isn't US, but it's Canadian, which is close enough. I only ask that this photo be allowed in this thread of honor. This is my Great Uncle, Theophilus Ellery Underhill, #794053. He was 18 years old when he answered his country's call and enlisted in the Canadian 26th Infantry Bn., New Brunswick Regt in 1914. In 1915 he deployed to France with his regiment and saw nearly three years of continuous trench warfare. On the 1st day of the Battle of Alsace on 8 August 1918, Private Underhill was killed in a German mustard gas attack...just three months shy of the Armistice! He is buried with his mates in the Wood Cemetery, Marcelcave, France. RIP, Uncle Theo! Sent from my LG-LS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
