The 111th Infantry Division went to France.

AnswerThe 111th Infantry, currently part of the 56th SBCT, Pennsylvania Army National Guard earned WWI campaign credit for: Champagne-Marne Aisne-Marne Oise-Aisne Meusse-Argonne Champagne Lorraine AnswerI have a photo of my great grandfather (Archie L. Jenkins)taken durning WWI. the sign the soldiers are holding up says "H company, 111th INF AEF. LE MANS France" there are approx 200 soldiers in this photo. the photo is about 1 foot tall and 4 feet wide. my Great Grandfather is in the top row near the center. All of the soldiers in the front row are sitting on the ground and are carrying 1917 enfield rifles, except 1 soldier has a 1903 springfield. AnswerCindy - The 111th Regiment was part of the 28th Infantry Division, in the 56th Brigade with the 112th Infantry Regiment and some smaller units. They first fought on the Marne and then pushed up to the Vesle River at Fismes and then on to the Aisne River.

I am writing a book partially on a very serious battle that the 111th took part in at Fismette, just north of Fismes. I can give you good sources if you wish to study this in detail.

Do you know the company he was in? Then I could tell you more. For example, Co. B went into Fismette 8/25/18 with 120 effectives and 48 hours later they had only 8 effectives left, only one officer, who was gassed and shot.

Consider e-mailing me as I don't see this site often if you have more questions. Bob

AnswerI am looking for information on Private Frank Hughes who served in the 111th infantry, Company G. He was killed in action on Oct 21,1918.
