Private First Class Company L

#102362

            Died July 30th at the 168th Field Hospital. Son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cownie, Sioux City, Nebraska. Private Cownie was wounded by machine gun fire during the attack on Hill 212. Fear- lessly he forged ahead in much heavier fire than any of the company had experienced before. Small of stature but full of grit, he rivaled any of the stronger physique in bravery and coolness.

Sergeant Company F

#101081

            Wounded at Chateau Thierry on July 26th and died in hospital July 30, 1918. Son of Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Henry, Villisca, Iowa. When the order came to go "over the top" his platoon went forward against heavy machine gun fire and were ordered to get down. Then the order came for one man at a time to advance. Sergeant Henry immediately raised up and started forward. He raised his rifle to shoot at a fleeing Boche and it was then that two machine gun bullets struck him in the neck..
