This photo was taken in front of one of the enlisted barracks. That vertical wood confirms that. Note those slats keep the sun off the building. You can see the walkway is behind the slats. The guy on the right grabbed my eye. He is native and he dressed for the photo. I looks like they all did.

This drawing looks correct. The wagon is on the ferry road and that building in the foreground according to the survey map should be the saloon

Yes the grouping was named. I'll check the shorts to see if they are named. The WAC  issue PT suit was brown and white .

Thank you for the quick reply! Was this grouping named? I was so excited about this. There may not be photos to find since it wasn’t worn long. 

This photo's location is hard to place. The 1860's survey map does not show those large buildings.Those are the Spirit Mountains in the back ground and the water tower is in the distance, so we are looking towards the river. The photo is looking in a N/W dirrection.The two low pitched roof buildings look like the old Officers Quarters.

Thanks for posting the info and the photograph that belonged to your Great Grandfather.   From what I know about the movements of the 116th and the 29th Division in general, I would say the photo was taken after the Armistice and while the Division was in the rear training areas; in the case of the 3rd Battalion of the 116th (which K was a part of) it was in the Haute-Marne region of France. Lots of these soldiers are wearing their SSIs on their uniforms which is something they didn't get to do until after the war ended....pretty clean uniforms as well. This funeral could have been for a sickness, accidental death in training, etc....   As far as anyone being KIA while on the front lines (roughly 8-26 October 1918), the CO of the 58th Infantry Brigade (115th and 116th Infantry Rgts.) established a temporary cemetery for his fallen on a hillside down the road from the Molleville Farm. They would remain there until removed to the Meuse-Argonne Cemetery in Romagne-sus-Montfaucon.

I don't think anyone can really grasp how vast the area is unless you've been yourself, i'd love to explore the place with my metal detector to see what pops up. Looks like one could find many objects just sitting on the surface as you did.  

The shorts came with the same grouping as the sweatshirt and many of the other items I have pictured. They all came out of the footlocker in the same pic.
