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

No, not as ground forces, although they did serve in France during World War 1. US Navy battleships and cruisers in the European Theater during World War 2 would have typically carried a small number of US Marines.
The 163rd Infantry was a part of the 41st Division, which was originally the National Guard from the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Called up for service, the 41st Division was formed and trained at Camp Greene, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Upon reaching France in February, 1918, the Division received a great disappointment when its members learned that it was to be broken up to provide replacements for other divisions. Much of the infantry strength of the 41st Division went to the 1st, 2nd, 32nd and 42nd Divisions. The 41st Division and its subunits, including the 163rd Infantry, saw no action in WWI as intact units.
Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany at the outbreak of the SECOND World War (1939-1945) and was therefore not affiliated with an single regiment. He was the de-facto head of the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces). However, Hitler did serve with the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 16 (1st Company of the List Regiment) during the FIRST World War (1914-1918)
None. The 34th "Red Bull" Infantry Division served in North Africa and all during the Italian Campaign. They were first attached to the II Corps and later to the IV and maybe VI Corps. The V Corps took part in the D-Day landings at Normandy. They were part of the 1st Army for awhile, then the 3rd Army and finally the 7th Army. However the 5th Army did serve in Italy and the 34th Infantry Division served under its command.
