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"

Attached is a photo of my uncle Pvt. John J. Tesoro, Co.B, 7th Reg., 3rd, Infantry Division,  KIA in relief of the 2nd US Marines, Chateau Thierry, France, June 15, 1918.  He was twenty four years old.

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.

Lloyd Nelson Ellis - Wagoneer # 1140045.
Born Feb. 13, 1894, Temple, Texas.
Died Nov. 27, 1956. Buried Forest Park Cemetery, Shreveport, LA.
Enlisted July 23, 1917 Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas.

Submitted as a tribute to my father
as well as all who serve and served in the 3rd. Division.
Lloyd D. Ellis
San Antonio, Texas

I do not know the date of his being awarded the Silver Star but I have a later letter. On his Silver Star announcement "Ellis, Lloyd N. , Wagoner 1140045 Medical Department. Soldier showed most courageous devotion to duty as an ambulance driver in all operations of the 3rd. Division."
He was cited somewhere in France, date unknown, for driving to the front thru a "box
barrage", returning with his ambulance full; then returning thru the same barrage to
pick up more wounded, before returning to the aid station.
A second citation could have come from the incident mentioned in the Philadelphia
"Public Ledger" of July 17, 1918

   

  

  

Throughout the War, Lloyd was with Ambulance Company No. 7, first assigned to Fort Clark, Texas.
His assistant was Pvt. 1st. Class George W. Moore of Osceola Mills, PA.
Lloyd sailed to France with the 3rd. Div., March 1918.
Assigned Chateau Thierrry sector May 28, 1918.
Gassed and relieved Aug. 11, 1918.
Assigned St. Mihiel and Verdun Sept. 12, 1918. Gassed.
Assigned Agronne sector Sept. 26, 1918 - Nov. 1, 1918.

 
He had 1-2 stars on his Campaign Medal with at least 4 bars: Asine-Marne, Meuse-Argonne, Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and Belleau Woods.
Both his Silver Star and the Campaign Medals are lost.
 
Lloyd was stationed at Andernach-am-Rhein (billeted at Koblenz Strasse, 5) with the Army of Occupation. Sailed home from Brest, France on the S.S. America Dec. 10, 1919.
Discharged from Ft. Dix, NJ Christmas eve 1919
 
 
 
Three out of four Ellis brothers
serving in the
Revolutionary War
died at Valley Forge.

Camp Pike, Arkansas

Attached are pictures of the Camp Pike Arkansas gate the depicted the assignment of the 3rd Infantry Division.
The 90th Regional Readiness Command (USAR) now occupies the last remaining 32+ acres of the original Camp Pike and just procured another small piece of land that contains the depicted gate.
Just wondering if anyone has any information about the 3rd Divisions assignment at Camp Pike. We are in the process of restoring or at least preserving this gate and would like to have any information available or references that would give us that information.

BG Fred W. Sladen Division Commander

 
                    
 
 
 
 

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”.
Photos graciously contributed by Dale Niesen.

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

I have all of his medals and photos on display at my home and It would mean
a lot to me to see his picture up with all of the other brave men who fought
in the 3rd division.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Michael Stickney

I have a 1934 Dodge 1 1/2 ton dump truck, which still retains the original 3rd Division, 4th Infantry Service Co. markings on the doors, (photos).  Underneath this marking, (outlined), is another , much faded one that I, or anyone else, had been able to identify. Could you please point me to a possible source for this information. Any information would be greatly appreciated!  Best Regards, David DeWeese  Deweesetruck@aol.com

 

Christmas Menu from 1941 of the U.S. 30th Infantry
at the Presidio in San Francisco

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:
Enjoy,
Sgt. James F. Dunigan III

Christmas 1941, Fort Lewis, Washington

I would like to submit my scans of the 1941 Christmas Dinner Program/Brochure for the 39th FA HQ & HQ Batt at Ft. Lewis.

My grandfather was Pvt. Michael A Sheftick and is listed on the roster but I cannot identify him in the picture. I hope someone will enjoy it and find
it useful.
