(Home Address College Park, GA)Ĭontributed by Steve Collins whose grandfather James is featured below. Sorry, he did not give full names and my mother did not think to ask when he was dictating his memoirs. Grandpa was inducted at Columbus, GA and discharged at Fort Gordon, GA. My grandfather is Robert Wilson Kerr III (1895-1991). Hoping this will be of aide to you, I remain your friend.įour Buddies from the Rainbow Division's 116th Field Artillery.ĭawn Street contributed four pictures of her Grandfather and his buddies from the 116th Field Artillery of the 42nd "Rainbow" Division: We were about six or eight miles from the front. The Picture was taken at St Orey, France the afternoon before we left for the frontline. Some of the boys were killed in action, in fact about half of them, and the rest like myself were wounded, all but one or two. The boy who is #10 was Harry's closest pal, they had been together all the time they were in the army. I have given you the names of these boys as I remember them. Sorry, but we lost some of the images on the outside edges. Please contact the editors if you can identify any of the individuals. 3rd Division Members on their Way to Chow.
