Thank you to all who helped me with this inquiry. Last week I got a letter from the Wisconsin Historical Society with a photocopy of a listing of Christian Justesen's service in WWI: Name: Justeson, Chris Rank: Horseshoer Army serial no.: 268957 Age: 1888 7-12 Eyes: blue Hair: br Complexion: fair Height: 5-4½ Organization: 32 Div. MP Co. Occupation: Blacksmith Married or single: single Residence: 209 7th St. Stoughton, Wis Enlisted: 18 May 1917 Place: Stoughton, Wis. Discharged: 21 May 1919 Place: Camp Grant, Ill. --------------------------------------- Battles, engagements, etc.: Alsace, 1 May 1918 to 21 July Aisne Marne, 29 Juli to 7 August Oise Aisne, 26 August to 6 September Meuse Argonne 26 September to 11 November Army of Occup. 13 December 1918 to 20 April 1919. Transfers: Company K, 4th Wisconsin Infantry to Company C, 107th M.P. Company, 32nd Division There was also a photocopy of another paper, Form No. 721-1½, A.G.O. of 1920, which is partly handwritten, and this part is very faint and hard to read. It must have been made after the war. It also tells about his service, and maybe the handwritten part tells about the gas attack? I have considered asking the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO, but I am not sure that I am related closely enough.
