| Bio and Links |
Hi. I am William "Woody" Forrest. My wife is Dawn. My wife is our family's genealogist. Some years ago she found a relative of mine that had been KIA during WWI. His name is
Chauncey R. Frank and he was the last American to be brought back from France for burial in the US.
Since then I've become an avid amateur historian of all that is the 91st Division during World War I. My wife's genealogy research skills and talents have come in handy.
We have amassed a large amount of information about those who served with the 91st Division. Some people have been harder than others to track down but I am on a mission.
I hope to "tell their story" here on Find A Grave. Dawn and I can't do it alone and hope to find others who share our love of 91st Division history (me) and genealogy (Dawn).
Thank you,
Woody and Dawn
What I'm Working On: April 2013
1) There were 1320 KiA or DoW for the 91st Division in World War I. I'm still looking for 247 people. I will not add anyone without a final disposition. The volunteers who add burial transcriptions and/or photos are a great help and asset to Find A Grave.
2) Adding biographies and obituaries
3) Looking to add ALL men who served in the 91st Division during World War I. If you know of any or find one while out in the cemeteries; please let me know.
Information
The 91st Division in WW I was part of the American Expeditionary Forces or A.E.F. and was formed in 1917. It was initially comprised of men from Draft Region 16 which were the states of California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Men from the Territory of Alaska were also included. The officers were drawn from Regular Army and Reserve Army units. They trained at American Lake in Washington until their new camp--Camp Lewis was built for them. Camp Lewis became Ft Lewis. Once in France, men from other divisions were transferred in to the 91st.

| 316th Ammo Train, Company C, 91st Division
Hi Woody,
Thank you for all the work you are doing; this is very nice of you.
My grandfather served in the 91st Division during WWI. My grandfather was in Company C of the 316th Ammo Transport. The name he went by was Mike Logan, a shortened version of his true Italian last name.
According to his discharge papers, he was a "Teamster" but he may have had other jobs, too.
I know very little about the 316th Ammo Transport and I would greatly appreciate looking at any photos or documents or what ever information you may know of or have.
Thank you, greatly,

| Photos of 91st Division
Hi Woody, I wanted you to know that I requested photos for about 20 soldiers of the 91st division, many of them in the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial. Most of them have been taken.
Thanks for the opportunity to help.

I had this photo from all the other family members buried there, I also attached the cemetery record showing his name listed as Davis, you can update also Plot 5 grave # 9.
I think this memorial # 44418822, is his mother Rosa, you should connect them, also check all the other Solari's and connect him to his Father.

Thanks for your email. I have transferred his page to you (Los Banos Cemetery) so you can properly add his bio, etc. You've done a lot of work, just let me know if I can do anything else. Karen | | | | [View all messages...] |
