Mario or Marilo Rege

Mario Rege is listed in the roster of Headquarters Company, 5th Illinois Infantry. It indicates he enlisted March 26, 1917 and reported for duty the same day at Danville, Illinois.

Paul B identifies a bass player in a picture of the 5th Regiment Band as Marilo Rege.

He is not listed in the roster of Headquarters Company, 129th Infantry, 33rd Division, on its return to the United States nor in the list of former members.

He may have been among band members from the former Headquarters Company, 5th Illinois Infantry, who were transfered to the 304th Cavalry (later the 54th Field Artillery) which trained at Camp Stanley, twenty miles northwest of San Antonio, Texas.
