SEARS

During WWI a soldier named Warner SEARS, witnessed the death of another soldier. The witness statement (see below) stated that Cpl SEARS was from Nora Springs, IA. We have reason to believe that Cpl Sears later married and lived in Nasua, IA. Would appreciate any information that anyone might have on him.

Statement: (found in National Archives)
" It was on the St. Mihiel drive South of Beney, France, on the morning of Sept. 13th (1918) We had just started the day's advance when an H. E. (high explosive) shell struck near Boyce. Fragments inflicting severe wounds in the body. He was immediately taken to the first aid station. We were later informed of his death, September 16th, in Evacuation Hosp. No. 1. Informant: Sears, Warner, Cpl 100911, Co. E, 168th Inf., Home: Nora Springs, Iowa. Signed: Paul W. Clark."
