Harry L. Anderson
Bugler, Company H
#101589
Killed March 11, 1918 at Badonvillier, France. Buried March 13th, in Grave
No. 7, Pexonne Cemetery. Son of Mr. and Mrs. H.
W. Anderson, Oskaloosa, Iowa. The first time that
Company H took over the front line trenches, relieving
Company G, the war was brought home to the boys by the loss
of one of the youngest boys in the company, our always
popular Bugler, Harry L. Anderson. He was killed by a
German sniper, while he was carrying orders and mail from
his commanding officer to a post in the front line.

Marvin Dunn
Corporal, Company B
#100126
Died March 13, 1918 from wounds received March 5th. Buried
in Baccarat Cemetery, Grave No. 26.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Dunn, Des Moines, Iowa.
After being badly wounded by a hand grenade, Corporal Dunn
took an automatic rifle and kept the Germans from entering the
dug-out, thereby saving his comrades. He shared with his
platoon the citation by the 128th French Division and
personally received the Croix de Guerre for his brave deed.
Corporal Dunn contracted pneumonia while in the hospital,
which was no doubt partly the cause of his death.
