Russ R. Richardson
Private, Company G
Killed July 15, 1918 at Camp 3/5, Champagne. Company G had been allotted a
dug-out, which
was insufficient to shelter the entire company. Part of the first platoon were
moved into a nearby
trench. The enemy concentrated a heavy shell fire on this trench, killing and
wounding several
men. A shell burst near Private Richardson and a fragment pierced his body,
killing him instantly.
Private Richardson was quiet and unassuming and a good soldier. Son of Mrs. Lulu
Richardson,
San Francisco, California.
