Record of Remarkable Wartime Service of Company
Richter returned two weeks from France where he served ten months. He joined the corps in September 1917 and went overseas last August. His company was sent to the front in Haute Al, area October 1. It later moved to the Meuse-Argonne front and saw active fighting until the armistice. The unit lost only one man overseas, who died of influenza, none by wounds or gas. This exceptional record drew attention from high officials at the AEF, including General Pershing.
