  • Carl Dahlin During World War I
    Carl Reinhold Dahlin’s Experiences During WWI and His Two Sons During WWII 1 Summary This publication provides an overview of Carl Dahlin’s military experiences during WWI and his two sons during WWII. They are presented in three separate sections. *Private First-Class Carl Dahlin was wounded during the “Battle of The Argonne”. His experiences are based upon a hand-written diary from his enlistment to discharge. *Sargent Richard Dahlin was a military cartoonist with the 101St Airborne “Screaming Eagles”. His European adventures are supported by photos, drawings and documents. * First Lieutenant Gordon Dahlin served in the Philippines and was a first-hand witness of Japanese General Yamashita’s surrender. Historians identify this event as the unofficial end of WWII. Gordon’s tale is backed by tape recorded conversation. All three sections provide historical background and include period photos, drawings and documents to support the story line.
