Buffalo soldier ballplayer?

Chris, Had a bit of time this afternoon to search a few things. Two promising leads. Here's a link to the San Diego Union Tribune Archives. You can search the site but are unable to read the entire articles without paying $9.95 to download 50 articles. But the first search for 10th Cavalry looks like a baseball game "...when the 57th battalion from Camp Callon opposes the 2nd squadron, 10th cavalry, from Camp Lockett." November 4, 1942.

The link will only take you to the archives, click on "new search", under subject, "10th cavalry", and limit years "1942 - 1943"; the other 14 hits seem to be about horse shows or parades in which the 10th participated. Other searches such as Camp Lockett baseball etc. will probably be fruitful.

The East County Californian may also have some articles. The San Diego Public Library seems to be the only one in the area with pre-1960 microfiche of the San Diego UT. The reference desk phone number at SDPL is (619) 236-5800, and they may just do a subject search for free.

I was not aware that most musters/rosters from WW2 had been destroyed, but here was a crude list of soldiers in the 92nd infantry. As previously mentioned many of the remaining elements of the 10th and 28th eventually joined the 92nd in 1944. Unfortunately, once again no Tommie E., but I wanted to keep this link as it may be helpful in the future. It was a fun afternoon, and got my mind off a few things. Hope this is helpful, have a Happy New Year.
