FIRST COBB COUNTY BOY IS KILLED IN FRANCE

D W Pittman, of Powder Springs, First to Make Great Sacrifice

On Tuesday Mr J M PITTMAN of Macland received a message from the War Department
saying that his son, Weyman PITTMAN, had been killed in France on July 13th.

No other details were given, and it will be long before any details from
comrades can reach the stricken parents.

Weyman PITTMAN was in Alabama at the time he left for the army, and hence is not
listed with the Cobb County boys in the records.

He is the first of our boys to have made the supreme sacrifice for home and
country.  Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved relations, but a hundred times
more glorious is his name and memory, than that of any man who would fail to
respond to the call of humanity, or who would hesitate in offering his life to
protect his native land.
