CASUALTY LISTS

Naturally, at this date there is not a com- plete list of the Venango county men included among the killed or wounded. Some time will be required to compile the record, as returns from a great many regiments, and from all branches of the service, must be consulted. No. doubt there are a number of names in the following lists which do not appear in the rosters of Companies D and F, 112th Infan- 19

try (1917), on the Honor Roll given, or on the additional list, but as none of these could be made complete to date the discrepancy is easily understood. The number of killed reported for the 112th Infantry was 350, the wounded 1,731. This, of course, includes many from outside the county.

The record of commissioned officers of the 112th Regiment killed in action was made by a newspaper man serving in the regiment and is undoubtedly complete. It includes two Venan- go county men. The other lists given are as nearly complete as it is possible to make them at this date. We give the first as it appeared in the Venango Daily Herald:

With the 112th Infantry in France, at Buxieres, Dec. 12 .- A total of sixteen officers who have been members of the 112th Infantry during its action at the front have died as a result of wounds received under fire or have been killed in action. And if official records ever clear the matter up, Second Lieutenant Walter M. Flynn, variously reported severely wounded and then killed, may be added to the list. But as the official list shows now, there are sixteen names on the honor roll of officer dead. The list follows :

Killed in Action South of Marne

WILLIAM C. ORR, 2d Lt., Co. E-Killed in action by shrapnel early on morning of July 15th at Petit Noue.

Killed in Action North of Marne

HAROLD D. SPEAKMAN, 2d Lt., Co. E- Killed in action by shellfire July 25th near Courpoil, during the record advance by Cap- tain Phelps, 2d Battalion, with the Red Cross Farm as the third objective in one day.

JAMES M. HENDERSON, Captain, Co. D- Killed in action by shrapnel July 26th in Foret de Fere near Le Charmel. The shell which killed Captain Henderson made a direct hit.

EMIL E. H. LAUTERWASSER, 2d Lt., Co. L -- Killed in action by shellfire, Aug. 7th, near Villa Savoye. This enemy shellfire, in point of concentration, was declared by Colonel Rick- ards to be the heaviest of the war up to that time.

Argonne Casualties the Heaviest

It was in the great push through the Ar- gonne, Sept. 26th-Oct. 9th that the 112th was hardest hit. The following are the officer dead : LOUIS RAYMOND ABEL, Ist Lt., Co. M-

RANDALL S. HOUGHTON, 2d Lt., Co. A- Killed in action by machine gunfire Sept. 29th. He was one of the best liked of the young lieutenants in the command-a Corry boy of whom all were proud.

FREDERICK O. BLANKENSHIP, Ist Lt., Co. L-Killed in action on Sept. 28th by gunshot wound. He was one of the old 16th officers.

WALTER V. AGIN, 2d Lt., Co. D-Killed in action Oct. Ist.

FRANK R. FLEMING, Ist Lt., Co. M-Died from wounds on Oct. 1Ith received in action on the third day of the Argonne battle. He was in command of his company when German machine-gunners picked him off in an open field.

ROBERT F. ARNOLD, 2d Lt., Co. H-Died Oct. 13th from shrapnel wounds received in action in early part of Argonne battle.

Thiaucourt Front

DANIEL F. MCCARTHY, 2d Lt., Co. D-Died Oct. 23d at Base Hospital 22 from pneu- monia, following wounds received in action.

ALEXANDER M. RUSSELL, 2d Lt., Co. L- Killed in action Nov. 2d by shellfire near Hau- mont.

Taking of Fismette

Released American soldiers, who are re- turning to the 112th from the German prison camp at Rastatt, confirm earlier stories of the fatal wounding in action of Second Lieut. Joseph A. Landry, Company C, during the German attack on Fismette on Aug. 17th. The stories now agree that Lieutenant Landry was shot down by German snipers, and died in the streets of Fismette, while the battle was go- ing on.

No braver men ever went into battle than these officers of the regiment-and their mem- ory today is honored by those who still live, wounded or unwounded, and who know that

they fought every step of the way as only patri- otic, God-fearing American soldiers can.
