LEE E. MOORE

Company K361st Infantry
American E. F. A. P. O. 77,
8th January, 1919

From Commanding officer, Company K, 361st Infantry
To: Mr. Charlie Moore, Haily, Idaho
Subject - Private, Lee E. Moore, deceased

I regret to state that Private, Lee E. Moore, 2258187 Company K, 361st 
infantry, was killed in action in the Meuse-Argoane Offensive, near the town 
of Gesnes, France, on October 9, 1918. Private Moore was an Automatic Rifle 
Gunner. In the advance on Hill 255, he was struck by the fragment of a bursted 
shell, killing him instantly.

Private Moore was buried on the battlefield, and refer you to the Chief Graves 
Registration Bureau, American E.F., for correct location of grave.

I extend to you the entire sympathy of myself, and the men of this Company. 
You have the consolation that Private Moore died, honorably, while executing 
his duty as a soldier.
Curtiss R. Gilbert
Cap. 361st Infantry
Comdg. Co
The above letter was received by L. C. Moore from his son at Haley, Idaho.
