The 110th Cavalry Association

Because of the code used in the Warren Commission Report and in Dallas on November 22, 1963 the 110th Coat of Arms gets used in media a lot.

You have to figure out how to spot it.

We had a Chaplain that was a Catholic Priest and he was good at teaching it.

2015 I became National Commander of the Yankee Division Veterans Association.

Made sure we kept our commitment to 26th Division Chapel and the Mauthausen memorial for the YD liberation of the Gusen Camps.

December 2024 John, Bill and I presented the Order of Saint George from the United States Cavalry and Armor Association to 101 year old Alfred Consigli.

Alfred was a 20 year old tank crewman in the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest and Battle of the Bulge.

The United States Cavalry Association (horse), the Catholic Bishop of Worcester and Senator Susan Collins sent letters to be read at the event.

John was Bill and I's first battalion commander in 110th Armor in 1986. Bill and I went to Armor Crewman Course together in 1987. When Alfred died in 2026, Bill and I attended the service in Milford, Mass and I went to the burial at Cape Code National Cemetery.

Jeff K. was a good friend of Alfred's and used to have his wood working shop at Carter's in Dover. He called me and asked me if we could do the event so I gave him a Saint George ring as a memento.

2020 during Covid Pete dies. The night of September 11th, 2001 Pete and I went out to play pool in Mendon, Mass to discuss what we would do. I said I am rejoining the Vermont Guard and he said I am joining the New Hampshire Guard. We both did but neither one of us deployed overseas for it.

You all get the thing now?

The Chaplain for 110th Armor was the Priest in Bunker Hill Council 62 of the Knights of Columbus when JFK was killed and he was a member.

D.H.L. Gleason buried in Natick was the WM of the Meridian Lodge of Freemasons and had been on the Lincoln Assassination Investigation after being in 1st Mass Cavalry.

I was in Bill Wilson of AA's National Guard unit in Vermont. He left before World War One but the unit was sent to CT, MA and RI's 110th Cavalry units and fought in YD in WW I.

The Polar Bear? O'Neil killed as an 11B in the 339th Infantry called the Polar Bears grew up in Sherborn and that was Grange Hall 110.

Dover Legion is named after a man killed in YD on the 110th day of 1918.

I was in the Norcross, Georgia Lions Club where Homer Brooks killed in Company L 102 Infantry of YD is buried.

The 26th Division Chapel in Belleau met the fundraising goals to fix the roof. The YDVA maintains this and the memorial at Mauthausen for the liberation of Gusen.

This is all the James Carter Crew stuff.

James, Jeff, Pete and I all went to Mass Bay at diffeeent times.
