TEC 3
« on: Thursday 07 February 08 09:59 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone help me to find out what this means

Gregson Herbert E Feb 27,1908-may12,1967,Oregon
TEC 3,1004 Signal Co,World War 11

I take it is on his death as this is entered in the cemetery at Oregon

I am searching this family and was pleased to pick this up I wanted to know what the TEC 3 1004 Signal Co was


Also on the same finding was Gregson Hiram A 1881-1970 & Saidee E,1880-1963
Gregson Thelma E Apr22,1908-1985

Seems like a family plot  Huh Huh Huh

But where do they all fit in .I know of Hiram Anthony Gregson Saidee must be his wife BUT.................Herbert and Thelma are both born 1908 February and April

Help please

Hi there


I believe TEC-3 is a Technician Third Grade in military ranking.  It appears that he was a veteran of WW2.

The 1910 census has...

Hiram A Gregson
Home in 1910: Warner, Brown, South Dakota
Marital Status: Married 
Race: White
Gender: Male 

Household Members:
Hiram A Gregson age,28, head, b. Michigan, father b. Ireland, mother b.Illinois 
Saidee A Gregson age 29, wife, b. Wisconsin, parents both born Wisconsin 
George E Gregson age 22, brother, b. South Dakota 
Elwin H Gregson age 2, son, b. South Dakota

No sign of Thelma and I'm not quickly seeing the famly in 1920 yet but I'm guessing Elwin H. is Herbert E.

Best wishes
Jean

Hi Elizabeth,

Here is a History and description of the activities/duties of the Signal Corp


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Signal_Corps


I did not find a reference to the "1004"   as company identifier  but you might try googling further to see what comes up.   There are a lot of google hits for the Signal Corp as they were the primary photographers of major events of the war.
