I am writing to see if you could help us find our loved ones military photo. He passed away in a car accident May 1976, while attached to Fort Ord B-Company, 31st Regiment, 2nd battalion. His name is Daniel F. Alvarado.

We have been looking on Ebay and Amazon.com for years without luck. We have also requested and received his military information, and the only picture was a very faded ID card.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


Respectfully,

Cindi Hogan

My uncle, Tolbert Maurice Taylor (7-11-11 to 8-16-2011) served with the 31st form Sept 1930 to Sept 1933 in Manila & Shanghai. I have inherited pictures and accounts of his time with the 31st. There is an album of pictures that is in good condition that I might be willing to donate and one group picture with no date that I'm pretty sure is of the 31st, but would like to be sure. I would like to hear from anyone who might help me with making a definite identification of that picture.

PVT Irvin Penvose - US Army 31st Infantry Regiment. Perished Pearl Harbor June 26th 1942.

Irvin was my Great Cousin. One part of our family now live in the UK. Even though I never met him and I do think about him. I never saw a photo, but I know how brave he was. Tomorrow is Armistice day. Least we forget. xxx
