U. S. REMOUNT STATION AT KRIPP, GERMANY 1919

Corporal Alfred H. Smokey Phillips at Sinzig, Germany 1919 part of the Army of Occupation in Germany. Picture source: Robert A. Phillips
About 35 kilometers from Coblenz to a place called Kripp. There were four outfits there; the 301, 303, 305 and 306 remount squadrons. We commenced to receive horses from all over the occupied territory. At one time we had more than 2,000 head of horses and mules. When outfits started going home they turned their horses over to us. We were to dispose of them. We sold them to anyone who would buy them. We sold some to the British, French, Polish, and Belgians. We also sold a lot to individuals. Many of them went for food. A good deal of horsemeat is eaten in Europe. I ate it, but it is more red and coarser than beef, maybe a little sweeter.

CHARLES MICHAEL BRUNNTRAEGER , KRIPP, GERMANY, A.E.F.

I contacted you earlier regarding my grandfather who served in the Veterinary Corps of the AEF. I have discovered that he was stationed in Coblenz during the occupation. According to your history of the occupation, there was a remount station at Kripps. Enclosed is a photo titled Kripp. I don't have the original photo; it is with cousins in New York. The above photo is my grandfather, Charles Michael Brunntraeger, on horseback. In the Kripps photo, he is the sixth from the left ion the back row. In the second photo he is fifth from the left, standing with his legs crossed. Other than Kripps, I have no idea of locations. Perhaps the background of the horseback photo is recognizable.
