    Default WWI US Uniform With Photos

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently acquired this lieutenants uniform grouping with photos. It has a red discharge patch and also a wound chevron.
    The only information I found was written in the cap. It says
    "Lt. C.O. Marlowe
    San. Corps. U.S. Army
    Base Hosp. #83
    A.E.F."
    After some searching, I cant seem to narrow it down enough to a specific name anywhere. If anyone wants to try to find any info about him it would be appreciated greatly. Or If anyone wants to point me in the right direction of how find more information, it would also be appreciated.
    Any comments & help is always appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Base Hospital 83 was based in Revigny on the Meuse, with Evacuation Hospital No. 15.

    Thanks for the information!
    I was able to find some more info on base hosp. #83.
    It was organized at fort Riley, Kansas in April of 1918. In the photos there are no patches on the uniform, so I'd suspect that the photos were taken just before he was sent to England then to France.

    If anyone else has any additional comments/information you are welcome to add it.
    Thanks again!

    Regards,

    Greetings Daniel,

    I believe , your Soldier's name is Cecil Joseph Marlowe 1893 to 1950. Stand By for more info.

    OK, JACKPOT!!!

    He was from the state of Connecticut which had a very in-depth questionnaire that was sent out to all WWI Veterans. Most States were not as forward thinking. You got very lucky!

    Best,

    V/r Lance

    P.S. I believe that is an overseas hashmark/stripe wrong side for wound.

    Agree. Great job Lance!

    @Daniel: Nice uniform group and photo. Looks like he arrived just as the war was ending
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Here's a form I found from two months before the US officially joined the war. It is Interesting to compare with the forms he filled out after the war.

    @MAP: Thanks! Just in time for the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Even though he was in a base hospital he certainly saw the effects of it.

    It's a really sweet group of items and tracking down the extra little nougats of information helps to flesh out the items even more. I hope you have space to display the uniform, it cries out to be worn on a mannequin I think.
