Thank you to my cousin who sent me these wonderful pictures of Albert Hoyt in his Army uniform. In this one, Albert is on the left. The other people are unidentified. |
This week I will discuss (albeit briefly) the service of the only World War I veteran in my direct line: my great-grandfather Francis Albert Hoyt, Sr. He enlisted in the United States Army on 22 Oct 1918. Of course, the war ended on 11 Nov 1918, less than a month later, so he never saw any action. He was discharged on 29 Apr 1919, having served his six months. I have thus far been unsuccessful in identifying his unit or where he was stationed. However, I do know that he had enlisted in Missouri.
Albert Hoyt at attention in camp. |
