Wayne Thompson at Camp Logan
Wayne Thompson was a cornet player in the 5th Regiment Illinois National Guard Band.
Paul mentions in a letter dated January 1, 1918 that "Tommy" was "still in the band"
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 304 Cavalry (later the 54th Field Artillery) which trained at Camp Stanley, twenty miles northwest of San Antonio, Texas.
