       Died of wounds, October 18, 1918, at Field Hospital No. 165.  Son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Garey, Tipton, Iowa.  The enemy knew that all supplies to the men in the front lines had to be carried through a narrow valley and they shelled this valley at irregular intervals.  It was a difficult matter to tell when they would shell this valley and the men had to be fed.  Private Garey was killed while on a detail carrying mess to the men.
