Serial No. 2,050,128
Holland, Mich.
Private Diekema was one of the early men of the Battery, joining the outfit May 24, 1918. He was No. 2 man on Sergt. Dunn’s piece.
In January, 1918, Diekema, along with fifteen others of the Battery, visited Aix Les Bain. When it came train time he was missing and caused considerable anxiety, but took the regular passenger train to Toul, meeting the other boys there when they arrived.
He participated in all of our dangers and activities in the lines.
He was an excellent soldier and had a geniality which seemed to characterize the Battery boys. |
