My grandfather Frank Gustaf Severin Erickson and his older brother Ernest Julius Erickson worked as Oregon Railroad Deputies out of La Grande, Oregon in 1917. Frank here in this photograph with two other deputies.
When this photograph was taken it was a period of their travels out west
from North Dakota just before the outbreak of the US involvement in World
War I. In the Summer of 1917 both Frank and Ernest would join the The American
Expeditionary Force and end up both going overseas and serving in France with
the 308th and 361st Infantry's respectively.
