| | 1ST CL. PVT. WILLIAM G. HOLLINGSHEAD
Serial No. 2,985,363
1015 Root St., Flint, Mich.
Private Hollingshead came to the Battery from the 310th Ammunition Train in France. He was a good horseman and the Captain detailed him in charge of the ration cart. It was his duty during our engagements to go after rations. To do this he had to traverse territory constantly under fire, and when he started out we all hoped devoutly that he would return safe. After one of these expeditions he returned to us on the 10th with much-needed food, and an account which was thrilling of the narrow escapes he had had.
He was a man devoted to duty and one who was never afraid of work.
