Somewhere in France

 Fred is the back middle.

The back of this Photo says, "October 12, 1918 Somewhere in France"

Frank has the originals of these photos.

I believe the story is that the Artillery basketball team from Camp Lewis played against another team and for winning the game they were given a pass while in Europe.

 I think that Frank has found a personal history for Fred, as soon as I get it I will post it here on the blog. That will hopefully clarify my story.

Not sure exactly when this photo is taken. I think it is safe to say it was taken sometime during the time Fred was serving in the war. Not sure if it was while he was in Europe or while he was still at Camp Lewis.

I am including the back of this photo as well so you can see who is who (as best as you can).

Fred is the back left.

 through. We are having

I am guessing that this may have been sent while he was on his way to the East Coast to get on a boat to sail for Europe, after being at Camp Lewis in Washington State.
