    Find-A-Grave - Lowell Thayer Wasson (1890-1918) "Notable Missourians involved in ‘The War to End All Wars’," by Paul Johns, Buffalo Reflex (Buffalo, MO), May 3, 2017
    [...] Lowell T. Wasson of Ozark. Born in 1890, he was the only son of James A. and Mary (Jones) Wasson, who were living on a farm near Riverdale at the time of his death. Lowell was a 2nd Lieutenant in Company M of the 120 Infantry and was killed in action at Ypres, Belgium in 1918. A graduate of Drury College, he was 16 days shy of his 28th birthday and he left behind no wife, no children, no grandchildren and no great-grandchildren.
    Borrowed Soldiers: Americans under British Command, 1918, by Mitchell A. Yockelson, 2008, Page 102:
    Friendly fire incidents were an unfortunate consequence of war. The 30th Division had recently lost two ment this way. . . . An officer in Company M of the 120th Infantry, 2nd Lt. Lowell T. Wasson, was shot by a private from his unit on 7 August [1918]. Wasson apparently became confused after returning from a patrol near Swan Chateau and entered a listening post unannounced. The private guarding the post was ordered to fire on Wasson hy his superiors, who thought the intruder was a German conducting a trench raid. . . . Brigadier General Tyson concluded that in Wasson's case, the shooting could have been avoided. "Orders will be issued to prevent a recurrence of such deplorable results," Tyson wrote in his report.

    Well they pose like Americans! And they look like their swank! But those are typical Irish names are they not? So there's a case their ancestors emigrated to the states not so long ago that the've still connections back home. So the photo could be from France with them back from the front line waiting to be sent to action. There might also be a possibility band members being allocated to act in the medic/ambulance role. If it is taken in Ireland I guess the're either to or from France. The're might be a case for using Cobh or Derry port rather than sending a troopship closer to the u-boats than necessary. All speculation. Any clues on the back?

    Deirge Del Deirge, you say Doheny is typically Irish, yet there are only 10 Dohneys in the 1901 census and 5 in the 1911 census. Perhaps at the time of this postcard there were more Dohneys in the USA than Ireland? Niall McAuley
  • Deirge Del said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I'm only a guessing Doheny looks like it might be an Irish surname, it sort of rolls off the tongue. A possibly more fruitful approach might be searching American serviceman records but that's not my area of expertise, I don't have a clue where to start or find the relevant database, or how to get access. For the UK www.archives.gov/research/genealogy/wwi would be a start point ... I don't know the US equivalent though I see a few wanting my dollars.

    314 Dohenys, in 1911, a more common spelling/version of the name in Ireland.
