Honor Roll of Boys who Died Going Over 

 
 
Harold Glover, Cook Company A.

Harold Glover

   

Cook, Company A

#99908

 

 

     Died in Hospital No. 10, December 22, 1918. Relative's address, E. E. Glover, Menlo, Iowa. Glover enlisted as a private but shortly afterwards was given a place in the company kitchen.  His unfailing good humor and anxiety to see that the boys were well served, made him a general favorite.  Glover's kitchen was as far forward as it was possible for him to get it. He served in every battle of the summer and came through unhurt, but died from appendicitis on December 22. Among all the boys who lost their lives none are held in greater esteem than Harold Glover.
