Kearney Hub, 3/14 Kearney, Nebraska
Well the article has generated a response and once again I am amazed I have been so lucky. Julie contacted me and her father Harold was with the 110th National Guard unit from Holdrege, Nebraska. She has generously shared his scrapbook with me and I am happy to report that with her help I will try to tell the story of the 110th Quartermaster, Company A.
Now mind you my dad was not a apart of this company but he walked this same journey just to the north west of Holdrege in Lexington, Nebraska. But they all were part of the 110th Quartermaster.

So Please allow me to introduce you to the Holdrege 110th QM, Company A. members taken about the time they were mustered into Federal Service 23 December 1940 at National Guard Armory.
110th Quartermaster Regiment, Company A Nebraska National Guard is made up of Holdrege and Phelps county men. They are now in service with other units of the National Guard at Camp Robinson Ark. Courtesy of the Winquest-Johnson Collection (page down for list of names)
Thank you Julie for sharing your collection with me. I will do my best to tell the real story of these brave young men. Thank you for sharing your “Dad’s” story with me I just hope I will do it justice.
The men are called upon!

Good job Nancy.
It probably doesn’t matter but I think that picture was taken in Holdrege at the city auditorium before they left. That is what it looks like to me.
I know entering all this information is a lot of work so thanks. You got page 2 didn’t you?

Thank you so much for trusting me with all this info. I am fascinated by it. And yes it does matter about where it was taken. I will update the picture with the correct information.
Thank you!

You two ladies are to be commended… Wonderful partnership and cooperation with the result being more people will remember. Some of those boys were so young looking… I hope they fared well at war…

It seems like every time I think I might be done I find more families willing to share. Our picture album is up to almost one thousand images. Wow!
