What kind of extensive research have you done on the story? Have you spoken with any of Pvt Conroy’s descendants? Is the book published yet or soon to be? If so can I order a copy?

In the Bibliography Page you can find many direct links to digital archive copies of historical resources now long out of print. In particular, you should refer to the work New England In France 1917-1919 by Emerson Taylor. On Page 30 there is a chart which indicates departure and arrival dates by unit of the 26th Division. According to this chart, the 102nd Infantry departed the U.S. on Sept. 19 and arrived overseas on Oct. 9. This same information is also cited by Frank Sibley in With The Yankee Division In France on Page 32. Record-keeping was not then what it is now, and reconstructing the historical record is not always easy. However, these are definitive historical accounts that places the 102nd Infantry in transit in September, 1917.

Minnesota until October. A part of the 102nd did leave in September. Can you tell me what source you used for your September date?

I’m assuming they’re all in the public domain. Can you tell me if one of the two men holding Stubby is Pvt Conroy?

I thoroughly enjoyed readin about Stubby, and was sad that he passed away, I mean in his owners arms, I think thier should be a Film made about him… I have six dogs, and I miss em when I go away for the weekend, and when I get back home, there are six tails waggin as fast as they can getem to go…. and I know Stubby was also waggin his tail each time he got to cozy up with the soldiers nite and day… wonderful little feller…. God Bless you Stubby, and thank you… AMEN…

I just discovered this site. Thanks for making it happen.

Regarding Stubby on 20 April 1918, can you share your source?

I am researching the battle of Seicheprey and have yet to find any data on Stubby other than what you have on this page.

I look forward to hearing from you.
