 | Military Roster, State of Maine (Cropped) This roster is silent with respect to Leo Dunn's foreign service. However, consistent with family oral tradition, Leo's draft registration card, which is dated March 1918, indicates service in France. He appears to have served as a 2nd Lieutenant in France and later to have been discharged and returned to the states where, in 1918, he enlisted. His obituary notes service in the 40 & 8 103rd Yankee Division. The phrase "40 & 8" referred to a rail boxcar capable of transporting 40 men or 8 horses.
The Maine Army National Guard website recites the following regarding the 103rd during this timeframe:
"The 2nd Maine Infantry Regiment was federalized for the Mexican Border in 1916 and served as a security force in places such as Loredo and Zapata Texas. The 152d Maintenance Company of Augusta shares 2nd Maine Inf. military lineage.
Once again, less than one year later, in 1917, the 2nd Maine Infantry participated in a Mobilization this time for World War I. The unit was later reorganized and redesignated as the 103rd Infantry Regiment, a name that would remain in the Maine National Guard for another 41 years. As part of the 26th "Yankee Division" from Massachusetts the 103rd saw action in all of the Divisions major engagements in France to include: Aisne-Marne Offensive; St. Mihiel; Meuse-Argonne and the Defensive Sector. The unit was demobilized and returned to State of Maine control in 1919. [The "Colors" of the 103rd can be viewed at the Hall of Flags in the Maine State House]."
Growing up I heard on several occasions that during his time in France Leo was somehow knocked unconscious, and when he awoke he was in the morgue with his dog tags on his toes.
For many years after the war Leo was a member of the American Legion, Fitzgerald-Cummings Post. No. 2, in Augusta, Maine.
Following is a summary of the 103rd Yankee Division's service in WWII:
The 2nd Maine mobilized for World War I in 1917 and was reorganized and redesignated as the 103rd Infantry Regiment. It became part of the 26th Yankee Division from Massachusetts and saw action in France.

 | Petition for Naturalization (John Field) (1 of 5) On September 26, 1829 the court in Wiscasset, ME certified John Field's declared intention to become a U.S. citizen, wherein he states that he was born in Kildare, Ireland in 1788, "came from Ireland in April of 1822 and in the summer of the same year arrived at said Whitefield." No port of entry was recorded. |
|

|
143 |
 | Petition for Naturalization (John Field) (3 of 5) This transcript was apparently added to the naturalization file to confirm that John Field was admitted as a citizen because the document executed in 1931 "does not definitively state that the petitioner is admitted as a citizen." |

 | Petition for Naturalization (John Field) (4 of 5) Signatures of the two individuals, presumably already citizens, vouching for John Field. They are Thomas Ryan and John Juf. |
