Bn" Slab said: "Aisne-Marne / St. Mihiel / Meuse-Argonne / Defensive Sector" then showed picture of an Angel with Sword & underneath that picture of a type of gun with a base to sit on ground (machine gun?). tion. ath? small bush. r Lougenia Additional Comments for Marvin Marion Gillis (2/3/1895-10/9/1918): Aisne-Marne St. Mihiel & Meuse-Argonne were all battles in France in WWI. I believe the gun is a machine gun possibly a Browning (a machine gun commonly used in WWI). Also Marvin was a son of Mary J Barwick & Angus A Gillis.
