FORMER NEWAR BOY
iglSi GETS KAISER’S PHOTO
(Continued from page 5)
The hero of this act was
Sergeant William C. Coe, Co.
F., 358th Infantry, A. E. F.
formerly of Muskogee.
Coe left Muskogee on Sept
ember 23, 1917, and was in
training nine months at Camp
Travis. Three weeks after he
entered camp he was a mifWe
a corporal and was then sent
to the grenade school where
he became an instructor. He
also qualified as an expert
rifleman.
When Coe’s company was
ordered to go overseas he was
ill in the hospital at Camp
Travis. His doctor notified
him that he could not sail
but after pleading with the
medics he was told he could
go at his own risk. He was
taken aboard the transport on
a stretcher and placed in a
hospital after he landed in
France. He was later sent to
a training school overseas and
became a sergeant.
Coe has three brothers in
service one of whom is in the
Rainbow division.
The pictures shown above
were recently received by Mrs.
William Tulk, sister of Ser
geant Coe. At the time they
were mailed Coe was in a hos
pital in France recovering
from a gas attack. This was]
the second time that he had
been sent to the hospital suf
fering from the same cause.
The illustrations shown abo
ve were made from what prob
ably are the first actual photo
graphs of the former German
emporer received in Muskogee
since the war began. Young
Coe took a number of postcard
photographs from “his Hun”
and sent them home. In his
letter he said, “I am in a good
hospital. The same nurses are
here who were at Camp Trav
is and they knew rm* as soon ,
as they brought me in.
“The boys over here are
sure buying all the newspa
pers they can find and it sure
looks good to me. You know
hat I wrote you that I was
going to school for a month.
Well, while I was in school my
company went “over the top”
wice and believe me they sure !
'an those Dutchmen ragged.
We have been over twice
once. Sure captured lots of
hem.
“I have some pictures of
Tie kaiser. One pinning a
pravery medal on a Hun. Well
I got the Hun, bravery, pictur
es and all in a dugout. Some
brave Dutchman. I will send |
you the pictures so you can |
see for yourself. He is stand
ing just in front of the kaiser.”
