| | PVT. FRANK GARCEAU
Serial No. 2,983,532
394 Winthrop St., Ishpeming, Mich.
Inducted June 25, 1918.
At Coetquidan Garceau was a member of the Construction gang, attending instruction on how to build dugouts, placements for guns and to sap trenches. A miner and lumberjack previous to coming into the army, he was well fitted for this branch of work. By temperament he was kindly and liberal with anything he had.
During our engagement with the enemy Garceau was detailed under Chief Mechanic Horton, whose duty was to bring up ammunition and prepare the shell fuses for the cannoneers. He was a willing and conscientious worker, doing whatever duty was imposed upon him without complaint.
Throughout his time with the boys he and Lyons will be remembered as the two good old pals. To speak or think of one is to think of the other. |
