Philip,

Thanks for your quick reply and the information above. It is very exciting to learn more about my great grandfather and his time serving in the military during WWI. Good luck to you in your family research. You’ve made mine much easier! Thanks.

Miranda – Your information is correct. You can view a copy of the regiment history here: http://103rd.newspipers.com/. Your great grandfather served in the same company as my great uncle John Edward Blythe.

Hi. I’m looking for information about my great grandfather Alfred Wallace Roberts. On his headstone application for military veterans it states he was a private, Co. L, 103rd Infantry, U.S. Army. Then has 26 Div. in handwriting next to it. His enlistment dates are 5-28-17 to 4-28-19. He was from Massachusetts and his service number is #69476. Is this the right infantry, because he is not listed above. Any information you may have will be useful. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
My husband’s great granfather (Dambroise) served in the 103rd Infantry Regiment I believe. We have a beautiful picture of him in his uniform along with his World War I helmet with the white triangle and pine tree. I’m very excited to have found this website. The family knew little about the helmet and i am excited to share this with them.

Hi,
Thanks for your attempt to look up my grandfather. I’m going to try to access some of my father’s records to see if there’s additional info pertaining to my grandfather. I will send whatever I find along to you and again, thank you.
Regards,

Steve-

Trying to help, I looked up the men of the 103rd and could not find Michael’s name. Do you have any additional information which could be invaluable? A Division is 10,000 – 15,000 men. Without further information than a Division, it will be incredibly difficult to offer any assistance.

Hi,
I’m trying to find out info about my grandfather, Michael DiPesa who served with the Yankee division and was wounded in France. Our local library had a complete history/roster of the 26th but it was stolen. Can you provide any info?
Thanks.

My Grandfather, Private Elmer H. Lindie, was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism in action with Company F, 103rd Infantry Reg. on 12 September 1918 near Boise-de-St. Remy France. As an Army veteran myself, I am very proud of the heritage of our forefathers and the gallantry of the men of the 103rd.

Good Evening,
Fantastic site! I finally have some direction and information about what my Grandfather went through. As most soldiers, he didn’t speak much about his time in the YD. Any help or direction that you can give me would be splendid. His name was John Francis Sullivan, Serial #68139.I don’t have his rank but he is listed as a Cook. Company F, 103rd Infantry. He voluntered at age 22. Born in Cambridge, Mass. He was wounded according to his enlistment record at Chateau Thierry July 18, 1918. His company commander at time of disharge was H.W. Frothingham (sp) Capt,Co F. I am trying to find out any citations, awards, medals he may have gotten. St. Louis has no information due to a fire back years ago. This is a Family project that I and my Sons have started due to my retirement and the passing of John and my Father Walt also USA Korea. Thanks and keep up the great work! Sincerely, Dan Sullivan Sgt, USA (ret) A co. 1/126th Aviation Battalion.
