| | 1ST CL. PVT. HERMAN NAEGELE
Serial No. 2,057,828
Frankenmuth, Mich.
When Private Naegele was transferred from the 310th Ammunition Train to Battery B he found himself by no means a stranger in the Battery. Life-long friends of his were already there in the persons of Corp. Kern, Sergt. Schultz and Cook Timm, to give him greeting. On the long marches into the line Naegele mounted and dismounted as did all the drivers in the Battery, driving his charges through the hazardous roads to Tauteeourt Farm, our sacrifice position.
He was an obedient soldier and of a pleasant, unassuming disposition, as a man. He upheld the solid worth of the town Frankenmuth, which bought more Liberty Bonds per capita than any other in the State of Michigan. This town gave to the Battery some mighty fine types of the soldier.
