enlisted at Altoona and was assigned to company M at Camp Hancock.  He was 
wounded through the right chest early in the Chateau Thierry drive and 
wrestled with the wound through two hospitals in France and was later brought 
to this country where he spent some time in hospitals before he fully 
recovered from his wound.  Private Shingle wears the bright red stripe 
denoting an honorable discharge, the golden service and golden wound stripes.
