Funeral for the fallen of the 339th Infantry Regiment, White Chapel Cemetery, 1930.
Though the Great War had been over for nearly 12 years, some families did not receive their sons home until 1930 with the return of Infantry Regiment #339. Fondly known as the “Polar Bears”, the unit spent the duration of the war in Siberia, fighting the Bolshevik forces that had overthrown the Czar the year prior. Above, Mr. And Mrs. Frank Skocelas are reunited with their son, Private Andrew Skocelas, one final time. |
