"I have only two men out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (Message sent by 1st Lt. Clifton B. Cates. USMC, 96th Co., Soissons, 19 July 1918 - later 19th Commandant of the Marine Corps 1948-1952)

Brig,I did find remnants of the lid having been named at one point. A few letters, maybe enough to match. Anyone have an officer register pre-Span-Am?
I have 1870's and 1880's registers, let me know if I can help.

thanks guys, have received lots of messages with offers to help. Have a few possible names, going to have to reexamine it. There wasn't much to work with, but considering the low number of officers in those days, worth a peek
