patrick_usmc Posted March 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2016 Hello, I was in a cemetery in Austin, Texas yesterday and found this headstone. It says he served in WWI, but also that he was born in 1919. I was hoping somebody on here could research him and see which is wrong, the birthdate or his service listed as WWI. I was also wondering if anyone knows how to go about getting this fixed. Could he get a new headstone if I could prove there was an error? Thank you all!

Sully Posted March 19, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 19, 2016 The 815th Pioneer Infantry was an all black unit that only existed in WW1. The birth date has to be incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
