August Nelson

Mechanic, Company G

#102272

       Died of pneumonia December 9, 1918, at Echternach, Luxemburg. 

       Relative's address, Elsa Larson, 216 S. 9th Street, Council Bluffs, Iowa.

       Nelson had passed through the different drives of the war in safety but during our last drive to Sedan, our boys had to endure great hardships.  We had little food and little sleep. 

      The cold, wet days that followed, while we were on the march, caused many to sicken and Nelson died of pneumonia on December 9. 

      A hard and steady worker, faithful to the last.
