Subject: [WW1] Hello, and U.S.Marine Corp. photos
Date: Wed, 05 Jul 2000 11:24:25 -0700


Hello listers,

My name is Pat. My grandfather retired a Lt. Col. from the Marine Corp. in
the mid 1950's.
He was attached to the Paymaster's Dept. most of his career.

He enlisted the first time in 1917, and during his training in Quantico VA,
he kept a wonderful photo album. I have that album and am in the process of
scanning each page so I can put it online. My grandfather captioned almost
every photo in the album, with many names and hometowns of the men he
trained with. My hope is to share these photos with the families of some of
these men.

I would like to ask you folks for links to sites on the internet dealing
with WWI, that would be interested in these photos. Any help would be
appreciated!

Thanks!

pat
