Harold Glover
Cook, Company A
#99908
Died in Hospital No. 10, December 22, 1918. Relative's
address, E. E. Glover, Menlo, Iowa.
Glover enlisted as a private but shortly afterwards was
given a place in the company kitchen. His unfailing
good humor and anxiety to see that the boys were well
served, made him a general favorite. Glover's kitchen
was as far forward as it was possible for him to get it. He served in every battle of the summer and came through
unhurt, but died from appendicitis on December 22.
Among all the boys who lost their lives none are held in
greater esteem than Harold Glover.
