A tombstone in the Mt. Pleasant Church cemetery near Poseyville, Indiana reads, Oliver P. Marquis, Co. K 166th Infantry, Killed in Action in Argonne-Meuse offensive, November 7, 1918. Any chance you might have some information on this gentleman or the action of November 7?

Thank you!

My Grandfather, Anders J. Weigen M.D. was with the Evac Hospital No15. During that time Corporal Joseph Levings gave him a small journal that was found in a foxhole. The original owner is unknown. You can see photos of the journal and read some of its passages on my blog minerrogersweigenfamilytree.blogspot.com under Lost, Found and Remembered.

My grandfather served in Meuse-Argonne in 1918. He was awarded the Bronze Victory Button (according to his papers – I do not have possession of the award). His name is Wesley C. Brewer. One document shows that he was promoted to Sergeant, Company “E”, 2nd Engineers in 1921. My grandfather passed away over 30 years ago. I’m only now discovering his valiant history. I sure wish I could have had the chance to hear his stories.

For 12 years we have a holidayhome near Damvillers and have roamed the woods of the battlefield. Interesting and intruiging to read about the US participation 2 years after the Battle itself. There´s not so much to read on this last but final stage of the War in this region.

There in fact was a specific coverage of the Lafayette campaigne in Verdun 2 years ago.

My father, William Clyde Comstock, was a private and was in the Argonne Offensive from Aug 1918 to Apr 1919. I got that info from his discharge record and that’s about all I know about his tour of duty. I have his gasmask at my home; his helmet is also in the family.
