Jerry,
Your Great uncle Jochum was killed in action on June 13, 1918 against enemy forces but I have also found conflicting notations in the June 1918 and July 1919 muster rolls.
One notation in the June muster roll indicates that he was wounded in action on the 14th and in the hospital from the 14th thru the 26th to await transfer to a replacement battalion while another notation states that he was killed in action on the 13th.
The July 1919 muster roll states that he died of his wounds in Field Hospital #23 on June 13.

Frank,

Thank you so much for your reply. My search for our grandfather started only a few months ago, but I have yet to find a photo of him. I've sent off for his WWI and WWII military records... hoping the records can lead me to a photo. I'm also researching his old family members, but not finding much to go on. US Marine muster logs shows he was assigned to the 74th in Nov 1918 and 20 June of 1919 he was being released from hospital #28 in Le Havre, France. There may be a chance he's in your photo from June 1919. How do I get a scanned copy of the photo sent to me? I would really like a copy to take a look at.

Hey Janet,


Send me your grandfather's name and your email address. I'll try to send a good scan of the photo (it's in a frame and a part of it is stuck to the glass).

Janet,

I was looking at the June 1919 muster roll on Robert L. Johnson, and it shows that on June 20th he was transferred to Casual Co. #1702 from Camp Hospital #82 which was in Le Havre, France, so he may not be in this photo. I'll send you shots of the photo either way.
