Guest Posted 12 November , 2018 Share Posted 12 November , 2018 My grandfather, Otto Reinl, served in the Army during WW1 and according to a letter he sent that was published in a local paper, he was a member of the Victory Tour Band and traveled through Europe including a mention of the Eiffel Tower. Where can I go to get information, pictures, or anything related to this event? I am very curious to find out more about this topic. Thanks!

Harper Posted 20 November , 2018 Share Posted 20 November , 2018 Jim Welcome to the GWF. If anyone has any information, I expect it would be the US Army. I'd suggest you have a look at this website: https://www.usarmyband.com/history/historical-overview.html or write to: The U.S. Army Band “Pershing's Own” 400 McNair Road, Fort Myer, VA 22211-1306 Good luck Harper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
