When one thinks of history, we sometimes forget in the 21st century, that the early 20th century is history. I am going to run a series, possibly not consecutively, of Kentucky soldiers who were killed in World War I. I have no addresses on these brave men, just the counties, and no further information on any of them. But they deserve to be honored. I began searching for soldiers of previous wars many years ago and found that it is difficult to locate much of the information. I was helped by one of our state Senators and various web sites which will be shown at the end of the series. Shown: Name, Rank, cause. No date of death known. Causes of death include: KIA=killed in action DOW=died of wounds DOI=died of injuries DNB=died non-battle FOD=finding of death, M=missing ADAIR Co: ALLEN, Earl, Pfc, DNB - BADGER, Dallas, Pfc, KIA - BENNETT, Kenneth R, Pfc, KIA -
