Hello. My great uncle was in the 30th, I think, in WWI. I know this is a WWII message board, but I was hoping someone here could help me determine if I am correct that he was in the 30th. The only thing I have to go on is what is on his grave marker, which reads:

CO.C.102.INF.A.E.F

His name was Ernest Hile, from Lincoln City, IN. I think that the writing on the marker indicates Company C, 102nd Infantry Regiment, American Expeditionary Force. I found some other young men from southern Indiana that were in the same company and regiment, and they were listed as 30th Division.

There is hardly anything left in my family regarding his military service. I have his "formal" portrait in his uniform with a beautiful US Army frame around it. Ernie died in France on August 10, 1918.

I'm just starting to research my great-uncle's history. Any pointers or information would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!
