Editor,

I live in Waregem-Belgium at about one mile from the US Flanders Field military cemetery. I am interested in the history of World War 1, so this cemetery has my special attention.

I started to write a book about the soldiers buried here and am looking for information about all those men. I think the book would be a great tribute for those young Americans, who gave their lives for the freedom of my country.

In the cemetery are 10 soldiers from Seattle whose names are at the bottom of this request. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has information on or access to his or her history, addresses, photos etc? Perhaps a Roll of Honour Book of the county was made or something was published in the newspapers of November - December 1918.

Thank you very much in advance.

Here are their names:

Bulaich (or Buliach) George - killed in action November 2, 1918

Condon Edward - died of disease October 31, 1918

Hesterman Henry - killed in action November 2, 1918

Henley Alex, killed in action November 3, 1918

Mastromonaco Mchele, killed in action November 3, 1918

Requa Harry, killed in action November 2, 1918

Robinson James, died of wounds October 31, 1918

Roder William, died of disease October 29, 1918

Sonville Ernest died of wounds November 2, 1918

Wattelet Leonard (captain), killed in action October 31, 1918
