Norwalk, Conn., a member of Branch 200, So. Norwalk, Conn., is the first member of this branch to lose his life in the service of his country. He was born in Vintondale, Pa., April 24, 1916. He was killed in action on an undisclosed date. Neither did the War Department inform the mother as to the place of the action in which he was killed. It is hard for a mother to lose her son but her sorrow must be increased by the fact that the circumstances of his death are shrouded in mystery. The thoughts of a mother mourning for her son, naturally would search for the place where the remains of her beloved son rest... but that must remain a military secret for the time being. However, we know that he died for his country, in valiant action and that is sufficient reason for us to cherish his memory. * * * 82. PFC. CHARLES KEMENY Charles Kemeny was a member of Branch 36 of Detroit, Mich., and is the 6th heroic dead member of that Branch. He was born in Sharpless, W. Va., on JOHN kIjRTZMAN PFC.
