When Lawrence W Foster was born in September 1898 in Connecticut, his father, William, was 40 and his mother, Mary, was 27. He had two brothers and five sisters. He served in the U.S. Army during World War I as a Private First Class to an ambulance crew in the 101st Infantry Regiment, 26th Infantry "Yankee" Division. He was Killed in Action on October 23, 1918 by a shrapnel somewhere north of Verdun, France and is now buried in Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial, Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, Departement de la Meuse, Lorraine, France. His name still resonates in Foxboro by the town's American Legion post in his memory.
