Harold Shaffer
Corporal Company M
#102479
Killed at Chateau Thierry, July 29, 1918. Buried in Grave No. 13-B, Map of Fere-en-Tardinois. Son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Shaffer, Storm Lake, Iowa. Corporal Shaffer was very quiet, nevertheless his squad was one of the best in the company. Through the months of trench fighting in the Lorraine Sector, he had handled his squad like a veteran against machine gun bullets and shell-fire. At the Champagne Front he made a good record and at Chateau Thierry he was a leader to the last. He was killed by a sniper's bullet just as the company was being relieved.
