Hey guys,
I've been off line a while. Bad health waits for no one.
While I was out of touch, I found a photo copy of my grandfather's WW1 US Army discharge. Everything is filled in with a very fancy cursive hand writing. Some of the initials I can't understand.
I guess what I'm asking is there a WW1 historian in the crowd?
His discharge states he was in 2 different divisions. (If I'm reading this correctly.) Montaque with the 29th and Meuse with the 32nd. He was discharged at Ft. Oglethorpe, GA, Company D, 323 FA. But old photos my aunt has shows him on horse back and his shoulder patch looks like the AA the 82nd Airborn uses today. It shows him on horse back, but his papers say he was not recorded as mounted.
Anyone know how I can get some information on what he did and where he was?
Thanks in advance.
Victor
