Honor Roll of Boys who Died Going Over 

 
 

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.
