An Okielegacy Centennial Moment

This is an old WWI photograph that Roy Kendrick shared with us. It is the Truck Company #6, 110 Motor Supply Train, 35th Division, at Camp Doniphan, in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, taken October 26, 1917.

It is not very often that you can view such an old photo with the last name (in ink) of everyone in the picture. Incidentally, I am told by Roy that the man kneeling at the far right is probably Fred Madden of Perry, Oklahoma.

This is a list of names in the photograph. Beginning with those standing (left to right): Elliot, Tays, Hanke, Hudson, Casey, Revery, M.Castle, Worland, Weihl, McCoy, Tooey, Neville, Brown, McKinney, O.Castle, Jackson, Jager, Drummond, Wiley, Schmitt, Sohaff, Lee, Madinger, Steidel, Beihl, Allan, Muster, Kaucher, Farris, Harmon, Starmer, Hinde.

Those kneeling (left to right): Marcell, Hopkins, Knudson, Hedges, Sherwood, fisher, Vinburg, Lt. M.P.Habecker, Ogden, Herndon, Banes, Bova, Walters, Bower, Hemenover, Madden.

Here is another old photo of WWI soldiers in training at Auxiliary Remount Depot, No. 333 and Troops in training at that Depot. Major Stanley Koch, Comdg, Camp Joseph E. Johnston, in Florida. I couldn't read the writing that great to tell if that was Jose or could it have been Camp Joseph E. Johnston? Maybe someone with better (20-20) eyes could get a better read.

The photo was taken by S. Silverstein Photos., 320 Park Ave., W. Savan, GA.

If any of these names, photos ring a bell, jog old memories cells, we would love to hear from you. You may leave your "comments" below this issue item -- OR ... send your WWI, 1917, Ft.
