| Jun 17, 2021 at 22:19 | comment | added | Austin A. | From what my grandfather told me (he has lost much of his memory so his stories are often jumbled and hard to follow), John (the man in the picture) was too young to fight for the US, he went to France to fight. I can see this doesn't make much sense, but I found it interesting that there are no similar pictures floating around online. | |

The uniform definitely looked American and the cap badge likewise (shield+eagle, very US motif), though I can't find any clear indication of what it might be. 1913 is puzzling though - the war hadn't started and I can't imagine there were many uniformed US soldiers wandering around! | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 21:58 | comment | added | Austin A. | Born in the U.S., Block Island, RI. the back reads "John A. Reed - France 1913" @Andrew | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 21:28 | comment | added | Andrew is gone | Two questions: where was your geat-grandfather from, and just to double-check: it says "1913"? | |
