WWI Oklahoma Soldiers

"I am truly in your debt for the information that you sent to me by email, it is an excellent account of James Hiram MONDY. The full name of the cemetery as shown on my data base where he is at rest is Villers Station cemetery, Villers-Au-Boise- Pas-De-Calais where there are a further 26 Canadians interred. In the text it mentioned that he was amongst those who fell at Vimy Ridge. My database shows that there are 200 US citizens who are commemorated on this memorial, something I suspect that is not generally known.

I shall attempt to make good use of the information in a future story assuming that Mr. Charles M. Cook would have no objections, if required please pass on my email address to him.

As I am a member of the WFA-USA and the WFA-UK any stories that I write are submitted to the Editor and may be accepted for publication at his discretion. These are then produced in the quarterly magazine for the interest of all.

I have been fortunate with a story that I wrote in October 2005 regarding a 15 year old from Ohio who was KIA whilst serving in a British regiment. Family members have very recently come across my story and have I have been able to be of assistance to them with further details. They are visiting the UK this May and will be coming to visit me at my home where I shall present them with the two medals he was entitled and all the other information I have obtained from the National Archives UK. I am hoping that something may develop on a similar basis from your kindness shown to me by publishing the names of those soldiers from Oklahoma.

It would seem that we have given some people food for thought on these soldiers, I have a friend in Oklahoma City who is trying to make contact with any REUSS family members in Gutrhrie who may be related to the soldier on the list. When more information is made available perhaps I could supply whatever I have to your magazine in the form of a short story to help keep the memory of these soldiers alive.

May I ask if the 1st World War is part of the schools curriculum in conjuction with other history projects? it is over here in the UK but it is hard work at times. Whatever towns these fallen soldiers came from I would like to know if they do have there own War Memorial - Roll of Honour as they do here in the UK. Assuming they do have a memorial it would be a marvellous gesture to have their names included upon it.

If anyone care to write to you regarding the soldiers may I suggest asking if they have a photograph of their local war memorial they could share with both of us, I would pay any expences incurred in taking the picture in advance if required. If I can be of help to you in any way please ask I will always try." -- Sidney J.Clark, Wales UK - Email: clark_sj@tiscali.co.uk
