Thank you for putting picture of
my Grandfather on the website. I never knew my grandfather. He had
passed when my father was a toddler. |
 |
 |
| My great grandfather was Harry James Black. I
have provided the information on his Army Discharge document
information. We do not have any of his medals. Could someone write
back and detail which medals he might have received based on his
service record? I plan to make a shadow box of those medals and
present it to my father who is 87 years old now. I also have one other question regarding his service record; it shows being promoted to Sergeant but then shows him being discharged as a Private. Does this mean some sort of disciplinary incident or was it some kind of temporary battlefield promotion? He died about 10 years after the war (November 20, 1929); probably from mustard gas complications. My father remembers him as being very sick and sedentary the last year of his life. My family would be very proud to have our great grandfather mentioned on your website. I visit the site often. You have done a fantastic job. Thank you for any assistance in my questions. Please feel free to use the photographs on your site if you wish; we would be honored. Rock of the Marne!

from1970-73 in Wurzburg. By coincidence, my wife's grandfather, Guy
Shearer, served with the 3rd Infantry in WWI. She has a professional

Hello I am attempting to learn more
my Grandfather's activities in World War One. Attached is a post war
picture of him, a picture of his unit, A picture of him and three
unknowns, a postcard of his return ship front and back. .I believe
he was in company C of the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd but I am
not certain. I know he was wounded a couple of times from artillery
shrapnel / machine gunning and was gassed with mustard gas and he
was sickly most of the rest of his life and I remember many bouts of
cancer at the VA hospital he was active in the American Legion but
never discussed the War With me. |

Picture of World War I soldiers
from "Rock Of The Marne" Regiment If you are interested in pictures
of 3-ID soldiers from WW-I, I have attached this picture of my
Father and three of his buddies. They were members of Co. L, 38th
Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division and had the distinction of
being known as "The Rock of the Marne." |

I'm trying to find
information on a distant uncle of mine, Milton Albert Slater, whose
WWI registration card (from Peetz, CO) I've attached here. I've also
found an online record noting the following: |

The attached photograph from a 1917 postcard

Cottonbalers from WWI |
|
Having served as a 1-7 Infantry "Cottonbaler",
1974-1979 in CSC (Redeye, Training NCO), & HHC (S3 Opns & Tng),
surfing your vast website is always a wonderful adventure thru
yesteryear!
While looking at some eBay auctions I had the
good fortune to literally stumble across the attached postcard
of some "Cottonbalers" from long before my tenure! Naturally, I
purchased it immediately to add to my small handful of
Cottonbaler items and wanted to forward the "pic" onto you.
I don't see an abundance of Cottonbaler pics at
your site, and would like to offer this one to hopefully be
included for all to enjoy.
Sincerely,
Mr. Tracy A. Pogue
Always a "Cottonbaler"

| I found your site looking for info on my Grandfather. You have done
a nice job. My grandfather was Madison Pearson. He was a Lt. Colonel with
3rd Division Infantry in WWI. He met my grandmother after he was wounded
in France. The photo pictures him (front row 3rd from left) I don't know
who any of the others are. I would like any information that you may
have on my grandfather.

Thanks to James Paul Metz for these WWI Signal Corps photos that were in the book, “History of the Third Division United States Army in the World War for the Period December 1, 1917 to January 1, 1919”. His Grandfather, Henry Ray Metz served in the 3rd Infantry Division in WWI. I have made it my objective to share the history of the
Third Division with my dad (He served in the 13th Armored Division “Black
Cats”), my brother and our children. I would be interested in getting a
copy of any records that mention my grandfather’s participation in the
Division to which you may have access or to which you can direct me. Also,
if you could recognize the contribution of “Henry Ray Metz” to the Third
Division’s WWI campaign on your website it would be much appreciated. If
you do so please let me know so that I may call it to the attention of my
family. |

Real photo postcards dating from just post WWI
to ca. 1920, of 3rd Division soldiers. The images are all believed to have
been taken at Camp Pike, Arkansas where the 3rd did garrison duty. Most have a
photography studio stamp that reads, “EWING, Inc., Official Photographers, Sixth
Street, opposite depot, CAMP PIKE”. |

| My name is Michael Stickney. I'm 25 years
old and a film student here in Arizona. I really like your site and the photo page. I was wondering if you could post a picture of my Great Grand Father, Albert Smith. He was in most of the major battles that the 3rd fought in and then did a tour with the Army of Occupation in Germany after the war. |
This is a list of
his battles on his service record - Aisne Defensive - June 1-5 1918 Marne Sector - June 6 - 11 1918 Belleau Wood - June 15 - 23 1918 Marne Sector - July 1 - 4 1918 Champagne-Marne Defensive July 15 - 1918 (wounded twice) St. Mihiel Offensive Sept. 12 - 16 1918 Meuse-Argonne Offensive Sept. 26 - Oct. 29 1918 |

Christmas Menu from 1941 of the U.S.
30th Infantry |
|
|
I recently came across on ebay a Christmas Menu from
1941 of the U.S. 30th Infantry and, it has quite a few early war photos of
the regiment when they were stationed at the Presidio in San Francisco. I
must say when I saw it I knew I had to have it and, fought like a man on a
mission to get it. My luck paid off and, I did win it so I am sending them
to you for the U.S. 3rd Division Society's website. So without further
adieu, here ya go: |
