For those interested in WWI units

[Ron Smith]

An aside: My interest in this particular subject stems from my own experiences growing up. I am a native Oregonian. I was raised on the Western slope of the Cascade Mountains. I grew up in the community of Culp Creek (Dog Patch). To give Easterners a perspective. The majority of the people who lived there were Western North Carolina Tar Heels.
They settled there because it looked like home.
All of the male members of my family were Loggers and sawmill workers. I lost two uncles, to logging accidents. Or to use a very common Oregon euphamism "Killed in the Woods".
I was raised on trout and venison.
So , I guess in a way, I can identify with these people. BTW, never call an Oregon Logger a "Lumber Jack". You may lose some teeth. Call them "Lawgers".
