Comments:
Eugene William Cartwright was born on December 24, 1898 in Waupaca, Waupaca County, Wisconsin. He enlisted from Waupaca on May 9, 1917. When he arrived in France, he was assigned to the 26th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division during WWI. He was Killed in Action on July 22, 1918 (at the age of 19) in Picardie, France and is now buried in Lakeside Memorial Park, Waupaca, Waupaca County, Wisconsin, USA.
Inexplicably, his Army records are filed under "Eugene William CARTRIGHT" - without the "W".
