1917 - WWI Soldiers At Ft. Sill, OK

"It's me again, Linda! This photo is one I picked up at an auction several years ago and have never shown to folks before. It is another "yard long" panoramic view that was so popular in the early days of photography. This one is of the "Truck Company #6 - 110 Motor Supply Train - 35th Division - Camp Doniphan (Fort Sill), Oklahoma - taken October 27, 1917" and is very remarkable because someone went to the trouble of adding (identifying) the last name (in ink) of everyone in the picture.,

Incidentally, the man kneeling at the far right is probably Fred Madden of Perry. He and his wife Essie Madden lived on a farm just across the highway and south of the farm where I lived (with my wife and kids) for seven years. My sons were allowed to ride their bikes down to Madden's corner and back when they wanted to ride on the blacktop. Mrs. Madden was a spry little woman who had been a school teacher in Guthrie (in the early days of one-room-schools), and would always tell us if the boys tried to ride "too far".

Since your ezine is so widely circulated amongst Oklahomans (and other folks of the southwest states), surely someone can recognize a relative or friend who was in the military during the "war to end all wars" and tell us a brief history of that person.

This is such an exciting quest that I'm going to "dig out" another photo that I have (somewhere in my "storage" files) that is in pieces and see if I can put it together enough to scan it in and see if you can work your magic again. Fortunately, I'm one of those folks who never throws away something that I think can be salvaged if I just wait long enough to figure out "how to do it". Apparently the time has come and I've lived long enough to see other miracles take place!" -- Roy K.
