| | PVT. KARL FELSHAW
Charlotte, Mich.
Felshaw became one of us May 24, 1918.
On June 12, 1918, with twenty-eight other recruits, he passed from the recruit class to that of a private.
He was one of the unfortunate men that came into the army shortly before we left for overseas service, thereby going without an opportunity to get home on a pass.
In civilian life he was a druggist, and would have been a splendid aid to the Medical Detachment, but instead his duties were varied, owing to the short time left for training.
He sailed to France with the outfit but was, unfortunately, taken ill while on our way to the front in the “40 Hommes and 8 Cheveaux.” He was transferred to a hospital at Toul. His desire was to get back with the Battery before hostilities ceased, but he was not successful in this and received his discharge from another outfit.
