Well I haven’t been posting here much lately but I’ll try to
be more active in 2018. In working on my
tree and scanning a number of family photos, I’ve discovered some that include
non-family members who are at least partially identified. I’d love see copies get into the hands of
ancestors of those pictured and intend to use this forum to assist in finding a
connection. The first photo posted is a
carte postale of Charles Francis Riley Jr (1st cousin 2x removed to
me) who served in the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), 26th Infantry
Division “Yankee Division”, 102d Regiment, Company F, during World War I. Sergeant Major Riley is standing on the right
and, according to the hand written notes on the reverse of the card, the other
two members shown are Prison Sergeant Bruck and Supply Sergeant Ray Baer (possibly
“Roy”). The photo was taken in St
Nazaire, France in 1919-Jan. If you can
help track down the families of these soldiers please let me know. I also have a much higher resolution scan of
the photo available.
