Leonard T Gerow Photo In 1912 At Ft Meade So Dakota and letter from 1948 to my Great Grandmother with LT Gerow’s signature.
This picture and letter were found in box of old family photos-my Grandfather is the baby in the picture.
My Great Grandfather was a Captain in Army around 1911-12, apparently stationed in Ft Meade with LT Gerow at this time.
I know it was circa 1912 due to my Grandfather being born in 1911 and says he’s 1-1/2 yrs old in pic. Grandfather born in Philippines, so not long after the family left there from Philippine-American war.
Picture puts LT Gerow being “green” out of Virginia Military Academy (research and letter state).
The letter is fresh off LT Gerow making Commanding General of the 2nd Army and a few years before his retirement.
I’m assuming my Great Grandmother took/developed the photo-she did a lot of photos and have some from back to 1901 in Philippines.
Photo is in good condition for the age. Letter is in great condition, edited by white paper to hide names and addresses.
