Thanks for you photo..that's just great.

If he's still this side of the soil, I'm sure he'd like to re-live old memories like I do..........

Now.....coincidence or small world, whichever. My grandfather was in the 1st Illinois in the Great War also. He was Quartermaster of his company but I don't know what company. I could find out though.

Do you know what unit he was in during the Punitive Expedition?

There's a nice book about Black Jack and the Black Hawk division,..got it
off ebay. Took me awhile to find my Grandfathers name, there's a ton of
names in it.

PM inbound.

1971, in Dallas, Texas. Have since then lived in Pennsylvania, France, England, Finland, California, and now Denmark & Finland.

Very nice to see the wide range of ages. Makes me think the idea 'Model A folks are on their way out' is pure-myth.
