"THE UNRETURNING BRAVE"
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker is
reported to have said that the real heroes
of the World war were those who
made the supreme sacrifice, who gave their
lives in the service of their
country.
To this class belong more than 6,500
of the khaki-clad boys of Ohio,
who won the golden star in the greatest of
all the wars of history and in
the
supreme effort to win a peace, which we
fondly trust shall be perpetual.
* Killed in action
+ Died of wounds
# Died as result of accident
Where no mark is used the soldier died
of disease
