Ronald Loban
Private, Headquarters Company
#99442
Died March 17, 1918, at Evacuation Hospital No. 212 at Baccarat, France. Buried
in Grave No. 28, Baccarat. Son of Mrs. Etta Loben, Jewell, Iowa. Loben was not
strong at any time during the
hard winter spent in Rimaucourt. Only a boy, the rigors of that trying
period in our first billets
without sufficient fire to even dry their clothes, proved to be too much for
him. Hard work and
exposure in the trenches took his last ounce of vitality and he died of
pneumonia contracted while
on duty in the trenches. Private Loban was born at Blairsburg, Iowa,
December 15, 1900.
