life at Manitowoc. She died in 1955. Major Abel served as company
commander of Manitowoc's Co. H in the Mexican border campaign of
1916, the same capacity his father had with the company during the
Spanish-American War. Following the Mexican action he was promoted
to major and served overseas in France with Co. E of Wisconsin's
127th Infantry during World War I. He retired from army life in
1919 after completing 20 years of service and from this time until
the outbreak of World War II he served in an official capacity with
Goodrich Transit Co. at Manitowoc. During World War II he served as
chief of Manitowoc Shipbuilding Inc. protection forces where he had

and Dec. 20, 1950, accepted the appointment with the city's civilian
defense setup. At the time of his death he was chief administrator

MAJOR ABEL HOME FROM OVERSEAS SAYS WAR IS ALL SHERMAN SAID AND THEN SOME
Local Officers of Opinion That Thousands of Casualties Among the U.S. Boys 
Have Not Been Reported Was on Firing Line for Several Months
“War is all that Sherman said it was and then some.” So declared Maj. 
Walter Abel, former commander of Company H and commissioned major in 
the Sixth Wisconsin at the outbreak of the war, when he arrived home 
from overseas yesterday afternoon. Maj. Abel reached New York a week 
ago from Brest, France where he had been stationed for several months 
and was sent to Camp Dix, New Jersey, and granted leave of absence to 
return to his home in this city. Maj. Abel was accompanied by Capt. Ed. 
Schmidt, who commanded Company C of Sheboygan and who returned from 
Camp Dix with him yesterday. Maj. Abel at his home today is getting 
acquainted with his family from whom he has been separated for eighteen 
months, the major having left here in August, 1917. He accompanied the 
Wisconsin group south and later to Camp Merritt and crossed overseas 
in January last year, sailing from New York on Jan. 31. Passing through 
England, Maj. Abel was sent to France into the training camps and on 
May 17 received his first baptism of fire in the Lorraine sector at Toul 
where his command was in action at the front. Maj. Abel remained on the 
firing line for several months, participating in a number of the notable 
battles of the war and fortunately escaping unscathed. “I was pretty 
lucky,” said the major today as he told of some of the losses which his 
command had suffered in action. “I was never hit and never gassed and 
came through without a scratch.” Maj. Abel was disinclined to talk of 
his service but said that Sherman was surely right when he said that 
“war is h-ll.”  In the opinion of Maj. Abel hundreds of American 
casualties have not been reported from overseas and it is not improbable 
that many of the boys believed to be safe and (illegible) the war ended, 
may be dead and (illegible) Maj. Abel says that every effort was made by 
commanding officers overseas to check up the casualties but that it was 
oft times impossible to secure the accurate information and that many 
casualties have probably occurred which there is no record. Following 
his service in the Lorraine sector, Maj. Abel was transferred to Brest, 
France where he has been stationed for the past five months in charge of 
transportation to the United States and where he was named as commander 
of the post. The Manitowoc officer said that he had not met many of the 
Manitowoc boys while overseas and had not encountered Capt. Edward Schmidt, 
who succeeded him as commander of Company H of this city. He had heard of 
Schmidt from others, however and said that the captain had won distinction 
in his service. Maj. Abel crossed the seas attached to the Thirty-second 
division but was not in action with that division, having been transferred 
upon his arrival in France to the One Hundred Second infantry with which 
he served in the Lorraine sector. When the call for Wisconsin troops came, 
Capt. Abel then commanding Company H of this city, was commissioned a major 
and assigned to the Sixth regiment, one of the new regiments organized in 
the state to fill the quota called for from Wisconsin. With his regiment, 
Maj. Abel was at Camp Douglas and later in the east before his departure 
for overseas. “I don’t know but what I might be a ‘conscientious objector’ 
to future wars,” said Maj. Abel today when asked whether he liked the 
service. No one who has been in the game has a liking for it but of course 
the boys (illegible) that if the call came again, we’d be just as ready to 
respond,” he said. The arrival of Maj. Abel was not announced last night 
and no demonstration was arranged for us would probably have been the ? 
had it been known that he was to return so soon. On the Leviathan, the 
steamer on which Maj. Abel returned to the states he met Capt. Lester Kuntz 
of this city who has been appointed for service in transportation of the 
United States troops from overseas and who is crossing and re-crossing the 
ocean on the big transport accompanying the American boys back home. Maj. 
Abel, previous to his enlistment, was with the Goodrich Transit company 
in this city. As soon as the major receives his discharge from the service 
he plans to take a much needed rest and has not determined upon what he 
will engage in. He is the son of Capt. William Abel, who served with the 
Wisconsin troops in the Porto Rican campaign. Another Manitowoc man who 
has been commissioned a major is expected to arrive in the city next week 
is Major A. ? Nash being scheduled to reach New York on his return next 
Saturday.

LOCAL MAN, A FORMER SOLDER MAKING EXCELLENT PROGRESS
On Oct. 21, 1918, Harvey G. Ahrens of Two Rivers, Wis., made connection with the 
army. His life up to that time had been devoted to study and earning a livelihood 
as a mechanic. He was disabled in May, 1919 with several fractured vertebrae and a 
dislocation of the spine which disability on the face of it, looked very serious. 
Upon his return to civil life, he was informed that the United States Veterans' 
Bureau was in a position to train him for whatever objective he might designate 
and which would not be interfered with by his disability.
After carefully considering his case and consulting him regarding his desires in 
the matter, the Government decided to give him an opportunity to train for General 
Agriculture. He was sent to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, enrolled as a 
student and the process of rehabilitation was begun. He completed his collegiate 
course on June 30, 1922 and having been rehabilitated to a point of employability, 
i.e., that place in his education which qualified him to earn a living at his chosen 
occupation and employed by the State of Wisconsin as Inspector of Apiaries.
In the majority of cases a man having attained a goal which meant an earning capacity 
of approximately two and a half times his salary previous to entering the army, should 
be satisfied with such advancement but in this instance such was not the case. Mr. 
Ahrens having made up his mind that he was going to succeed applied for an additional 
course, the completion of which would mean a Master's Degree in Entomology. While 
taking the aforementioned course, he continues his work with the State, devoting his 
spare time to study and advancement with a desire for success such as this, it is 
safe to predict almost anything for Mr. Ahrens.

GRIM REAPER BUSY AMONG OUR SOLDIERS
Several Deaths of Local Boys From Pneumonia at Different Camps
DAILY MESSAGES OF DEATH
Not all our boys who give up their lives for their country can 
die fighting “over there” as they no doubt would have preferred 
to do. The toll of death from pneumonia in the camps is getting 
very heavy.
Mr. and Mrs. Matt Koch received a telegram from the military 
authorities informing them of the death from pneumonia of her 
brother, William H. Allen, aged 30, who was in the medical corps 
in France, having left this country 6 weeks ago. Allen was 
drafted at Shawano where he resided lately. He was born in this 
city. His parents are dead. His other brothers and sisters are 
Alexander Allen, Mrs. Mike Kabat and Mrs. Emil Ellert of Racine.

The following is about Harry Bedford. He is in the WWI list of men
but isn't in any cem.:
LONG SILENCE OF SOLDIER BOY WHO WAS FEARED TO BE DEAD, BROKEN BY LETTER
Corp. Harry Bedford, who is serving with the motor truck detachment of 
the American army overseas, has been heard from after a silence of months, 
a silence which caused relatives here to fear that he had met death in the 
service and had prompted inquiries through the Red Cross which, however, 
proved without result in the learning of Corp. Bedford’s whereabouts or 
his fate. In a letter to his mother here, received today, Corp. Bedford 
says that for some time he has been kept busy, the trucks operating on 
long trips, three four sometimes six days. He says that he was within a 
short distance of Brest on his last trip but did not get a chance to visit 
Major Walter Abel, his brother in law who is now stationed at Brest. Corp. 
Bedford learned of the death of his brother Walter Bedford for the first 
time at Christmas when he received a letter written by his mother from this 
city in November. He says that he also received the Xmas box sent him. Corp. 
Bedford has no knowledge as to the time that he may be able to return home.

TWO PETERS BOYS WOUNDED IN FRANCE, BOTH ON ROAD TO RECOVERY, 
WRITE LETTERS HOME
Letters received from Corporal John Peters of Company H. 127th 
infantry, who left with Company H, indicate that he was wounded 
in action in France on July 10th and has been in a base hospital 
ever since. He was shot through the thigh. Charles Peters, his 
brother, and a private in the same company who also left here 
with company H was also wounded in the same battle, but his 
injuries were slight. Both boys in their letters tell of having 
the Boche on the run one letter saying, “women and kids are their 
meat and when it comes to a good hard boiled yank they are not in 
it.” Corporal Peters said one Yank can make three or four Germans 
hunt their hole. He adds that “we will eat our Christmas dinner 
on the banks of the Rhine.” Charles Peters in telling of being 
wounded says he was struck on the shoulder blade by a machine gun 
and walked three miles to get to the ambulance. He was fighting 
near Chateau Thierry when wounded. He says the Sammies all imagined 
that they would be excited when they got into battle, but Peters 
said he was as steady as when on the rifle range. He also 
announces that Walter Bedford was wounded in the foot.

TWICE REPORTED DEAD OVER SEAS, CORP. BOURIL, CO. H BOY, 
HOME THROUGH FLAMES
Twice reported dead and on another occasion said to have had both 
legs shot away, Corp. George Bouril, son of Mrs. Frank Bouril and 
who left here with Co. H., arrived in the city Saturday night from 
Camp Grant with his discharge. Although not fully recovered from 
wounds which he received in two engagements, Corp. Bouril is rapidly 
recovering and is being warmly greeted by friends. He is the second 
Co. H. boy to come back "through the flames".
Co. H. boys, many of whom had been in the hospitals in France, may 
be expected to arrive daily now according to Corp. Bouril who said 
today that few of the old company boys had finished the service in 
the line with the command, a majority having sustained wounds, been 
gassed or put out of commission in the service. Corp. Bouril was in 
the hospital for many weeks and was erroneously reported "killed in 
action" by a war department list.
Corp. Bouril was injured in the Chateau Thierry drive, having been 
shot in both legs but later recovered and was with his command in 
the Argonne Woods where the American troops fought the last battle 
of the war. Bouril was gassed and was sent back to the hospital and 
later to Paris where he was after the armistice was signed and when 
President Wilson arrived at the French Capital. The local boy 
witnessed the magnificent reception given to President Wilson, King 
George, King Victor Emanuel and others of the allied rulers and saw 
that it was an experience rivalled by none in his life. The excitement 
and joy of the French people when the armistice was signed beggar 
description says Corp. Bouril who declares that the American boys 
were given every honor and hailed as deliverers.
Corp. Bouril left Manitowoc with Co. H on August 6th, 1917 for Camp 
Douglas and sailed with the company from New York on February 26th 
1918. Upon arrival in England a large detail from Co. H. remained 
at Winchester where they were placed in charge of the American rest 
camps while comrades were sent to France to go in training in the 
Lorraine district before being sent to the front line trenches.
"It was a great experience and lots of excitement but I hardly think 
I would care to go through it again" and Corp. Bouril today in 
speaking of his service overseas. "We were finely treated everywhere 
and everything possible, under the circumstances, was done for us. 
The Red Cross and kindred organizations surely performed a wonderful 
work for the soldiers and none of the boys would permit a word of 
criticism of them. The life, until you become accustomed to it, was 
naturally hard but you forgot your hardships in the determination 
that America must win and that determination was the most marked 
feature in the American lines. The excitement also helped you forget 
the hard knocks and your absence from home and kept you on tiptoe all 
the time. I would not exchange my experience for anything even if I 
am averse to going through it again" declared the soldier.
Corp. Bouril returned on the British steamer Melitta, landing at Boston 
Jan. 22nd. His boat was the second to land at Boston with American 
troops and the city of Beans sure gave the boys a welcome he says.
Although Corp. Bouril has been expected earlier in the week his return 
Saturday night was a surprise that made the Bouril home one of the 
happiest in the city.

OUT OF SERVICE NOW, BUDYCZ TELLS OF HUN BARBARITY
Soldier Boy Witnessed Some Horrible Atrocities in Belgium while
with 3rd Division He Says
First hand reports by an eye witness to German atrocities in Belgium,
against women and children and even American soldiers are given
Manitowoc today by Private Lucian Budycz who returned from Camp Grant
last night with an honorable discharge from service. Budycz spent a
furlough two weeks here upon his return from overseas but declares that
while in the service he did not care to tell the harrowing tale which
he recounts today. Private Budycz(sic), who previous to his return to
the states had been reported killed in action and later to have lost a
leg, had a narrow escape from “going west” when he was struck in the
chest by a bullet which penetrated within an inch of his heart, according
to records, which are made part of his discharge papers. Budycz enlisted
at Chilton and served over a year. “I never could believe the stories of
atrocities by the Germans which I read in the newspapers. I did not think
that they could be possible and believed they were manufactured to excite
the people for war but I know now that they were not fairy tales. I
witnessed them myself and what I see, I know.” Said Budycz today. Asked
to tell of some specific instances of atrocities which he had witnessed,
Budycz was loath to talk but when pressed said that while his command was
in Belgium, on march to the front, he had seen women and children tied
hand and feet and bound to trees, dead from the shock of the terrible
cruelties practiced. “I saw women’s bodies from which the clothing had
been stripped, cut and slashed in horrible manner,” said Budycz who said
that after it was all over and the boys were home, the true conditions
would become known. Budycz told of the fate of eight American soldiers,
four white and four black who had been tied to trees by German captors,
their eyes cut out and the face and bodies mutilated by weapons. “Our
command passed the place where these eight men were tied and we cut the
bodies free so that they could be given burial.” He said. Budycz who is
a nephew of Lucian Budycz of this city, said that the incidents he
mentioned were only two that he had personal knowledge of and that the
brutality which had been practiced by the Germans more than anything else
was responsible for the fighting spirit shown by the American troops. Mr.
Budycz plans to remain here for a short time and will then go to Milwaukee
where he will be employed.

********
PACK OF CARDS SAVED LIFE OF LOCAL SOLDIER
Priv. Lucyan Budycz, who served with Company D. Fourth infantry,
Third division through all of its fighting, says he owes his life
to the fact that he carried a pack of cards in his breast pocket.
In the big drive on the Verdun front Budycz stopped a machine gun
bullet but it passed through the deck of cards before reaching his
body and although it inflicted a severe flesh wound an inch about
the heart, he has practically fully recovered from the wound and
has arrived home on a furlough visit. Budycz was wounded on
Oct. 12 and was in base hospital 48 for almost three months. Priv.
Budycz left here July 20, 1918 and saw action in all the engagements
in which his division participated. He arrived at Newport News,
Feb. 18 and after visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Budycz
for a few day will return to Fort Sheridan for further treatment to
his wound.

LIEUT. HERZOG WINS BADGE FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
Will Cary, Who Has Been In France, 
Meets Friend as He Leaves Paris While Herzog Is on Way to French City
Lieut. P.B. Herzog, of this city, has been decorated with others of 
his command with a badge for distinguished service. This news was 
received in the city yesterday in a letter from Will Carey, who is 
now on his way home and has arrived in New York. Carey, who is in 
the tank service, met Lieut. Herzog at a railroad station in France 
when the latter was taking a train into Paris to report for special 
instructions and the two had quite a visit. Carey saw the new badge 
on Lieut. Herzog’s uniform and congratulated his fellow townsman on 
his acquisition, which is said is deserved and well merited. Herzog 
saw service in some hard fighting and his trip to Paris is a further 
reward for service rendered. Will Carey is a son of Mrs. C.A. Carey, 
north 5th street and volunteered for the tank service at Chicago. 
The tank service is acknowledged to be the severest test of physical 
fitness of any branch of army service. The branch is one in which not 
many Manitowoc boys are listed but was a most important division in 
real service. Their work is the most nerve racking and has been the 
subject of special articles by medical writers. Will Carey has been 
through it all and has a most interesting story to tell.

DOBRITZ KILLED IN ACTION WITH 58TH INFANTRY
Missing Soldier Reported in Casualty Lists Early in War
William Dobriz, the Manitowoc service man for whom inquiry is being made by 
relatives in Germany in letters to Mayor Schroeder, was killed in action in 
France while serving with the 58th infantry. Dobriz remained at Camp Custer 
only a short time and was among the earlier draft men to be sent overseas.
Lient. Olhman Schroeder, Clark street, who was the contingent which left here 
Sept. 24, 1917, when Dobriz departed, remembers the missing soldier who was 
known to the men at Camp Custer by the name of Dobry, the name under which he 
was later reported in the casualty lists from over seas.
"Dobry was in the 58th in which a number of Manitowoc boys crossed and I 
remember rightly he was on the transport which was attacked by a German U boat 
but escaped", said Lieut. Schroeder today. Dobry crossed over in 1918 says Mr. 
Schroeder, who is a nephew of Mayor Schroeder and won his spurs in the service, 
being promoted to the first lieutenancy and made an instructor of troops.
Mayor Schroeder, who is at Milwaukee today, has forwarded another letter to 
the mother of Dobry at Leipsig conveying the information of the death of her 
foster-son in action.
Local officials and service men are unable to understand the inability of the 
war department to furnish the information asked by relatives unless due to the 
fact that Dobry was not listed under his correct name in the casualty lists 
when killed.
Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. January 31, 1920 P. 1
********
DOBRY ALIVE, IS IN SO. AMERICA PLANS RETURN
Local Soldier Reported Dead, to Visit Old Home
From South America where he was stationed at the time the letter was written, 
serving aboard the S.S. Oskawa, comes a message from William Dobry, local 
soldier, who was reported by the casualty lists as "dead in actin," to say 
that he is very much alive, planning return here at a time in the not far 
distant future. A letter and a card were received at the same time from 
Montevideo, by Mr. and Mrs. John Schallowvitz, with whom Dobry roomed during 
part of the time that he made his residence here before being called into the 
service.
LETTERS CAUSE CONFUSION
Three months ago letters were received here from relatives in Germany making 
inquiries about Dobry and his fate and at that time Mayor Schroeder conducted 
an investigation and learned the Dobry's name had been published in the war 
department lists as killed in action, but friends here declared that they had 
received cards from the soldier after the date upon which he was reported to 
have met his death. However, it was thought possible that the cards had been 
sent by Dobry and delayed and that the war department report was true. Upon 
this theory relatives in Germany were given the facts, as developed and they 
probably believe Dobry dead, unless he has also written them.
GOING TO GERMANY
However, any doubt as to whether Dobry is in the land of the living has been 
dispelled, here by the receipt of his messages, in which he says he proposes 
to return to Germany for a visit to his old home and then to come baik (sic) 
to the states, probably to take up his permanent residence.
In his letter Dobry directs that he be addressed at Hamburg, Germany, in care 
of the American consul and intimates that he expects to be there within a short
 time.
WENT TO WAR FROM HERE
Dobry was sent to Camp custer with a contingent from this county a short time 
after the United States entered the war but remained there only a brief period, 
being sent south and then overseas. The report of his death appeared in the 
casualty lists dring the fall of 1918, just before the armistice was signed.

SOMETIMES PEACE IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN WAR
Jos. Dusold Escapes “Greasers” Only to be Victim At Home
To have escaped the greasers on the border only to come home and shoot 
himself, was the experience of Private Joseph Dusold of Co. H., who 
yesterday was cleaning a pistol that he didn’t know was loaded and the 
weapon was discharged, the bullet passing through the fleshy part of 
his neck/back (can’t read which). The wound while decidedly painful is 
not of very serious character.

Joseph Dusold Who Left Here With Company H, Killed in 
Action in France
Messages were received this morning by August Dusold that his son, 
Joseph Dusold, who left here with Company H, had been killed in 
action in France. 
Joseph John Dusold, 32 years of age, who left here with Company H, 
and who also served with the local militia company on the Mexican 
border, was killed in action in France on Sept. 2, according to 
messages from the war department, received this morning by his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Dusold, 1111 South Ninth street. The 
last letter his parents received from him was written on Aug. 13. 
At that time he said he had participated in six engagements and had 
come out unscathed and gave reassuring messages to his parents and 
friends here. 
He was born in this city on Aug. 10, 1886, and attended the St. 
Boniface school and the local high school. Later he engaged in the 
laundry business with August Stahl under the firm name of Stahl & 
Dusold, conducting the Snow Flake laundry on York street. Mr. Dusold 
served as a member of Company H for years, being one of the oldest 
members of the organization and saw service with the local command 
on the Mexican border. When the United States declared war on Germany, 
and Company H went to Camp Douglas, Mr. Dusold continued in the service 
and went to Waco, Tex. And then east to Camp Merritt, N.J., and later 
overseas. He was located in England for a time and then was transferred 
to the fighting front in France. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
August Dusold, the deceased is survived by two brothers, the Rev. 
Father Dusold of Cooperstown and Albert Dusold, of this city, and one 
sister, Mrs. Joseph Degenhardt of this city. He also leaves his 
fiance, he being engaged to wed Miss Elsie Landreth of Sheboygan.

CORP. BOURIL TELLS OF THE DEATH OF PRIV. JOSEPH DUSOLD; 
HELPED TO BURY THE SOLDIER
Detailed as one of a squad of Company H boys to perform the last rites 
for a comrade, Corporal George Bouril of this city, who returned from 
overseas service Saturday, officiated in the burial of Private Joseph 
Dusold when the latter was killed in action in the Chateau Thierry 
drive in which the local command participated. Corporal Bouril marked 
the grave of the Manitowoc soldier boy on the battlefield where he fell. 
Private Dusold with three other men of his detachment were killed outright 
by the explosion of a German shell as they were digging in while advancing 
under German fire. Corporal Bouril witnessed the death of the Manitowoc 
boy and later was privileged to assist in the burial. Corporal Bouril told 
of the death of Private Dusold today and said that at first the body was 
not identified because the identification tag furnished to all soldiers had 
been left by Priv. Dusold at camp, a pocketbook later furnished the means of 
identification.

Co. H boy who was killed in the war zone several months ago have 
been received in letters written by Sergeant John Klinkner to his 
brother George Klinkner of this city, from Ruckeroth, Germany, under 
date of March 29 while Sergeant Klinkner was still stationed at that 
point with the army of occupation. Sergeant Klinkner had not mentioned 
the fate of Corporal Dusold in previous letters because he says, the 
censorship made this impossible. In the letter just received, however, 
Klinkner says that he did not see Corporal Dusold when he was hit by 
a shell but a few moments after was at the scene and witnessed the 
burial of the Manitowoc soldier, whose body lies at the side of a 
railroad track, marked by a wooden cross as was the practice in the 
burial of soldiers. Sergeant Klinkner says that he will be able to 
locate the body for the family if they desire by means of a map. He 
says that the shell which killed Corporal Dusold, mutilated his body 
seriously. “Joe died fighting for his country, that is the highest 
honor we can bestow upon him. He died like a hero, a true and noble 
American. I fought with him in Alsace as he was attached to my platoon 
and I never knew him to falter like many others in the front. He was 
a thorough soldier, knew not fear or ‘cold feet’ as we term it. Joe 
had changed after he came to France and was a real man and when I say 
that I mean everything that it implies. He was a credit to his country 
and to his parents and his friends are proud of him and the organization 
to which he belongs,” says the letter of Sergeant Klinkner. Corporal 
Dusold is buried near Jubigny and the wooden cross which marks his grave 
is inscribed with his full name and the number of the organization to 
which he was attached. Sergeant Klinkner says that it is possible that 
the body may have been taken up and removed to one of the large cemeteries 
which the Americans have established in France for soldiers dead. Sergeant 
Klinkner said that on the day he wrote he had received twelve letters from 
America, all dated about October 14, 1918 and despite the delay was mighty 
glad to get the mail. He says he is in good spirits and health but says 
nothing of returning home though relatives believe that he is already 
enroute with the Forty-second division.

MANITOWOC BOY HELPS TO PREPARE SPREAD FOR GEN. PERSHING AND AIDES, 
COCHEN GERMANY
A Manitowoc boy was a member of the mess contingent at Cochen, Germany 
that prepared a spread for Gen. Pershing and his aides, on a tour of 
inspection of the American army of occupation. He is Private Edward 
Ellinboe, Larrabee, who was employed at Two Rivers, and went overseas 
in 1917, with one of the first of the American contingents. Ellinboe, 
in a letter here, tells of being quartered in a large castle in Cochen, 
Germany. He is a member of the cook detail and says that he helped prepare 
the spread for General Pershing and his aides, when they passed through 
there a few weeks. Ellingboe says that the men are fairly well satisfied 
but all would like to get back home.

EDWARD GERL, THIS CITY, IN LIST OF MISSING ON SHIP SUNK BY U-BOAT
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Gerl, Wollmer Street, First Manitowoc Boy to 
Fall Victim to Undersea Warfare of the Enemy
WAS WITH CONTINGENT WHICH LEFT CITY IN OCTOBER FOR SERVICE
Another Manitowoc name has been added to the honor roll—“Died for His 
Country” and the city today mourns the loss of its first soldier victim 
of the U-boat in person of Edward Gerl whose name is listed among those 
missing following the sinking of the British steamer Moldavia in the 
English channel Thursday. Twelve of 53 American soldiers reported lost 
in the sinking of the steamer are Wisconsin boys. Edward Gerl, who was 28, 
and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Gerl, Wollmer street, this city, was with 
the second contingent which left here in October and was at Camp Custer for 
a short time. The young man was a graduate of the Manitowoc County Training 
School and later was engaged in teaching in the county for two years, later 
taking an examination and entering the railway mail service in which he was 
at work when called to the colors. 
Two Brothers In Service. 
First intimation that the local soldier was among those missing and probably 
dead on the Moldavia was conveyed in Associated Press dispatches to the 
Herald today at 11:20 am and the family of Frank Gerl, brother, was informed 
of the news, and it was the son who soon after conveyed the sad intelligence 
to the parents at their home on the West side. The news was a terrible shock 
to Mr. and Mrs. Gerl who have had three of their sons respond to the call of 
the colors, two of the boys having left within the past month, Richard to go 
to Columbus Barracks, O., and William as a member of the contingent sent to 
Lansing, Mich., two weeks ago to enter the Michigan College for special 
training as an automobile mechanic. 
Overseas Three Weeks. 
It was believed that Gerl was safe and in France receiving his training, 
because of the fact that word only recently was received from Leonard Pfeffer, 
another Manitowoc man who was with Gerl in North Carolina where they were 
assigned in camp, to the effect that he (Pfeffer) was safe in France. If 
Pfeffer conveyed the news from France, it is possible that the two Manitowoc 
boys became separated in England, Pfeffer being assigned to an earlier boat 
which landed him safely. Gerl was among the first of the local contingents to 
leave the city and was transferred to Camp Greene, Charlotte, N.C. One of the 
last letters was received by his brother Frank which was dated April 4 in which 
it was intimated that he was soon to leave for New York to take passage for 
England. In a later letter to his parents, Gerl wrote on the eve of his 
departure from New York, stating that he was leaving in the morning. This 
letter was undated but was received here about three weeks ago. Judging from 
the interim between that time and now, Gerl was assigned to cross the channel 
with the Moldavia’s contingent almost immediately after he arrived in Liverpool 
or some other English coast port. 
First Victim of U-Boat. 
News of the loss of Gerl, the first Manitowoc boy to fall victim to the 
ruthless U-boat warfare of the enemy was a shock to the community and called 
forth widespread sympathy for the bereaved family. While there is a chance 
that Gerl may have been picked up and saved, the hope is not strong as it is 
feared that the men lost on the Monrovia were killed outright in the explosion. 
With the news of the death of another local boy in the service, the departure 
of the contingent of 306 to leave tonight, has added more significance and will 
impress more emphatically upon the community, the dangers into which they owe 
to stand behind the country for which their sons are ready to battle and die. 
Edward Gerl was popular with a large circle of friends and was a clean cut, 
upright young man whose memory will be cherished. Gerl was a member of Co. B, 
58th U.S. Inf., Fourth division.

News of the death of Edward Gerl had its effect upon the select men who 
left Saturday was a subject of comment among the boys to whom it brought 
realization that they might meet a like fate, but it did not dampen the 
spirit of the men. At the Training school tomorrow a gold star will be

time of her sinking she was being used as a troopship for United States 
troops. Fifty-six Americans soldiers were lost in the sinking.

LIEUT. HERZOG WINS BADGE FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
Will Cary, Who Has Been In France, 
Meets Friend as He Leaves Paris While Herzog Is on Way to French City
Lieut. P.B. Herzog, of this city, has been decorated with others of 
his command with a badge for distinguished service. This news was 
received in the city yesterday in a letter from Will Carey, who is 
now on his way home and has arrived in New York. Carey, who is in 
the tank service, met Lieut. Herzog at a railroad station in France 
when the latter was taking a train into Paris to report for special 
instructions and the two had quite a visit. Carey saw the new badge 
on Lieut. Herzog’s uniform and congratulated his fellow townsman on 
his acquisition, which is said is deserved and well merited. Herzog 
saw service in some hard fighting and his trip to Paris is a further 
reward for service rendered. Will Carey is a son of Mrs. C.A. Carey, 
north 5th street and volunteered for the tank service at Chicago. 
The tank service is acknowledged to be the severest test of physical 
fitness of any branch of army service. The branch is one in which not 
many Manitowoc boys are listed but was a most important division in 
real service. Their work is the most nerve racking and has been the 
subject of special articles by medical writers. Will Carey has been 
through it all and has a most interesting story to tell.

MEEME BOY HAD TO FIGHT TO KEEP GLOVES IN ARMY
Sergt. Elmer Kelley, member of the 340th infantry of the 85th division, 
returned to the states with that unit and with others from this county, 
has returned home from Camp Grant with his honorable discharge. One of 
the prize possessions of Sergt. Kelley is a pair of buckskin gloves 
which his father, J. Egan, presented him with at his departure and which 
he had to fight to retain at the front. A fellow soldier stole the gloves 
from Kelley and it was necessary that the sergeant appear at the court 
martial fourteen times before the gloves were finally returned to him. 
Sergt. Kelley’s home is at Meeme.
