    2. Jon Musgrave
    3. Hello, Have another inquery I'm forwarding to the list. This time it's about a World War I veteran named Sherman Holt. Below is the letter from Patrick Lernout who is apparently writing a book on the WWI veterans buried at the Flanders Field military cemetery in Belgium. If anyone has information please respond to the list as well as directly to Patrick. Sincerely, Jon Musgrave www.IllinoisHistory.com First of all, I want to apologize for my bad English. I found your e-mail on the web. My name is Patrick Lernout. I live in Waregem-Belgium at about one mile from the US Flanders Field military cemetery. As I am interested in the history of World War 1, it's only normal that this cemetery has my special attention. I started to write a book about the soldiers buried here. So I am looking for as much information about all those men. I think that would be a great tribute for them, who gave their lives for the freedom of our country. In the cemetery is one soldier called Sherman Holt. He was from Onarga, Gallatin county and was killed in action November 1 1918. Should you have information about him or some history, addresses, photo etc . ? Can I ask, that if you can not help me, perhaps you know some one who could and give him this mail ? Thank you very much in advance Patrick Lernout Drafstraat 15 8790 WAREGEM BELGIUM Tel/fax: +32 (= prefix Belgium) 56.61.33.41 e-mail: patrick.lernout@pandora.be"
