1892-1936 |
ca 1917-1918 I found your site when searching for more information about Arthur Frolich. My gr-grandfather, William Hoffman, served in WWI (Camp Cody in Deming, New Mexico) and he had an album of photos from the time. He served as a driver during the war, but later became a pilot. He flew until his death in 1931. A lot of his photos were labeled and I found two for Arthur Frolich. I have to wonder if Arthur inspired my gr-grandfather to fly? It was interesting enough for me to look into and I got a hold of 'Tex' Frolich's obituary. I'm sending it to you along with the photos my gr-grandfather had of him. |
