AUTOGRAPHED REISCHMARK

Dominique Pierrat of France sent these photos of a 50 Reischmark note that had been autographed as:

Cpl A. J. Doggett
613 N. 2nd st.
Phoenix, Arizona

He inquired whether we had knowledge of the man and we replied:

The record is not clear on this so all I can do is make some assumptions.

  The Morning Reports show that
Arvel J. Doggett was transferred from the 82nd to Company C, 508th on 5 August 1944.

  On 15 August 1944 he was transferred from Company C to Service Company, which as you may know, was a holding point for men whose status was in flux.

  Then on 28 May 1945. Private (no longer T5) Doggett was transferred back to the 82nd.  

  For whatever reason, perhaps disciplinary, he was apparently removed from jump status and sent to a regular infantry unit, apparently the 417th.
