  Charles Sweeney, West Point man, was in the French Foreign Legion and came back to the US as a tank expert, see Evening public ledger., May 29, 1917, Sports Extra, Page 7, with photo The Oklahoma City times., May 10, 1917, HOME EDITION, Page 2, with photo The Washington herald., May 02, 1917, Page 14, col. 5, "SWEENEY, TANK EXPERT, HERE TO ADVISE U.S."

  Charles it is! Updates to come ...

• Art Siegel said:

  This photo is likely from February, 1916, when Sweeney, still a Lieutenant in the French Foreign Legion, returned to the U.S. for months of recuperation from serious wounds suffered in September, 1915 in Champagne, France. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=FA0F16F83E5E13... He arrived Feb. 22, 1916 aboard the liner SS Lafayette. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045433/1916-02-23/ed-... Apparently, he subsequently fought in many wars for many countries, and his last name is spelled Sweeny in many sources: boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=2645&p=...

  Great set.

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  Yes, we are very lucky that all of these photos survived thanks to Donald Carson! As part of the donation, he also had a copy of Eisenhower's message to the Allied forces on the eve of D-Day. Carson even met Eisenhower a couple of days before the invasion.
