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.

This photo of the parade ground is looking towards the river. The concrete piers you see in Steves video that supported the water tower are located on the bluff overlooking the beach in the first photo.

Nothing looks right on that one to me.  I'd agree - repro.

Hi! Was this grouping named? I just won the whole outfit on eBay and somebody told me that it belongs to WAC and is likely a discrepancy in the Moran book about World War II, Women Marines. She showed me a reference. No I am in search of proof that Marines wore this. maybe Women Marines used the exact WAC uniform before the peanut suit. 

This jacket looks like it’s made very well but when I searched for information on the I.M.E. Sportswear Co. it said they weren’t one of the companies that made Tankers during WWII. Maybe they did post WWII or for the civilian/commercial market?   Regards, Frank

According to the Encyclopedia of United States Army Insignia and Uniforms, this is the dress blues design made in 1931, influenced by World War One uniform style and interwar uniform ideas.      

This photo shows the buildings below the bluff the is fort on. According to the survey map the building next to the bluff should be the blacksmiths shop. That beach should be were the Mojaves attacked the pioneers who cut down the Cottonwood trees to raft across the river. In other photos this location is below the water tower and is the site of Beales crossing. The ferry road I saw is located center right of the photo at that inlet.
