Freeland, Mich.
Vigneron was inducted September 21, 1917, at Custer. He was very quick and alert and took to soldiering rapidly and received the rank of Corporal November 11, 1917. Short and stocky, with a robust constitution. One cannot think of Alex, as he was called by all, without thinking of Sergt. Carl Leonard, as the two were known as the “Siamese Twins” and furnished much amusement at Barrack 1220.
He was promoted to Sergeancy May 3, 1918, and sailed with this advance detachment for overseas July 22, 1918.
‘While at Camp Coetquidan he was transferred to Headquarters Co., and became our Battalion Sergeant-Major, adding another credit to his alma mater, Battery B. |
