Soldiers in Company B, 604 Engineers: John Edward Weber

Friday, December 22, 2017

Thanks to Jack Weber for these great photos of his grandfather and his staff.
Does anyone recognize these soldiers?

Soldiers in Company B, 604 Engineers: The photo on the right with two soldiers in front of a hospital are friends. The soldier on the right is my grandfather, John Edward Weber.(born April 1, 1893, died September 30, 1966). I do not know the friend. The photo in the middle with the single officer wearing leather boots in front of the American flag was my grandfather's sergeant. I do not know the man's name. The photo on the left, standing by a chair, not wearing a hat is another friend of my grandfather. I do not know his name either.

John E. Weber Birth 1893 Death 1966 Burial Saint Joseph Cemetery Bonne Terre, St. Francois County, Missouri, USA Memorial ID 90375871 https://goo.gl/1Uq43h
More info from John on January 2023 --

Reference my input from Dec. 22, 2017. I have verified the identification of soldiers in two of the photos I submitted. The soldier standing alone with the American flag is Sgt.1st Class Frank McCormack. The soldier standing alone with the ornate chair is Sgt.1st Class Edward Hoisington. Both soldiers were in Company B, 604 Engineers. Both were friends with my grandfather, Sgt. 1st Class John E. Weber.
