        Wounded October 14th and died in Field Hospital No. 165. Private Locke was a member of the Stokes Mortar Platoon. He, with the other members, were back of the front line awaiting orders to bring up the guns. They were joking, heedless of the shells that were
going over their heads at random, when one struck almost in their midst. Private Locke had both legs blown off and died soon after reaching the hospital. Son of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Locke, Hartley, Iowa

Leo P. McFadden

Private Headquarters Company

#99429

       Killed October 14th at the Argonne. Buried in Grave No. I-24, Map of Kreimhilde, Stellung. Son of Mr. and Mrs. John McFadden, Storm Lake, Iowa. Private McFadden had just returned from the hospital to which he had been sent on account of sickness, just in
time to go into the Argonne.  He met his death while waiting orders to take up the Stoke Mortar guns. A shell burst in the midst of a number of men, which killed him instantly. Private McFadden was always well liked and willing to do more than his share of the work.
