I collect WWI portrait photography of US soldiers and wanted to share this shot of Peter P. Light who served in the 31st Infantry Regiment in Siberia. He even married a Russian nurse!

Owned some sort of bakery or restaurant in the New York area at the time, immigrated from Ireland descent… His children would eventually head southwest…

All of these are from an album my great-grandmother put together about their wedding. The first page has a photo of both of them and both of their separate homes.

The person on the left in the first photo is my great-grand aunt, I believe. She went by "Bill" for most of her life. She moved to Mexico, became a citizen, and bought and raised race horses with her husband. I found a newspaper clipping that said their home was featured in a Nat Geo magazine but couldn't find any mention of it in their archives. I have a great photo of her in the 30's in some riding gear looking very chic and handsome! Also another photo of her where she looks quite blue in the late 60's, so I wonder if she got into colloidal silver - eek

That's about it, as far as pre-1920's goes! If I decide on a way to post the entire album where the other photos came from, I will certainly make a post to alert the masses (if allowed).

I love how much so many people loved the last batch of photographs, so decided to go through and find some more especially lively ones!
