 Arthur Otto was my Great Uncle, he was a cook in the 107th Supply Train, Company D, of the 32nd Division. In a small town museum, where Arthur lived, and where I grew up, I have a display of my Uncles service items of the World War. I have just returned from taking photo's of this display to submit to you. My camera is only so-so. Of interest is his service medal with the Tuscania torpedo attached. I tried to zoom in on his service medal to show the little torpedo engraved with the ship Tuscania on it. No one in the military medal collecting field locally had seen one of those. Other Items include his Tuscania Survivor's Association medals, Cards, and a document; also photos of his 32nd Division Cap and a rare 32nd Division "cooks overseas cap." I am very pleased with the quality of your website and I am glad that I had the opportunity to contribute.
