Signal Corps Sergeant 1st Class 03/26/23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just looking at an old photo of my great grandfather. He was in
the 99th aero squad in WWI, which I think I've written about
previously. Maybe not.
In any case, I noticed that in this photo, he had handwritten the
names and ranks of the people around him, who were all officers. But,
none of them had sleeve insignia, except him. He didn't bother writing
his own name or rank, of course. Saving the memories for himself, I
think.
Did some digging, and found that his sleeve insignia meant that at the
time he was a Signal Corps Sergeant, 1st class. I don't know know much
about what that means, but I take it to mean he was working
communications. Perhaps.
