Dear Madam,
Your letter of Dec. 11th, received this morning and I shall answer at once. Your brother, Cpl. John Victor Brouillette was wounded on the night of October 10th, 1918, in front of Madeline Farm [see photo in replies] about two kilometers from Cunel. He was carried to a hospital that night. His company, Co. G. 30th Infantry suffered a loss of about 30 men that night and it is impossible to obtain any information now as to how he was wounded. His wounds were reported as not serious. I have been unable to find out definitely what hospital he was taken to, but most of the wounded from that section were taken to Mobile hospital 2, and then to Evacuation No. 6. I feel certain he was taken to Evacuation Hospital No. 6. As his death occurred in hospital, he was buried with Military honors in the vicinity of the hospital. I regret that I am unable to give you information in regard to your brothers death, but were he my brother, I could not gather more details. He was a good soldier in the eyes of those who knew him and could be depended upon the limit. He fought through the second battle of the Marne; the advance at Le Charmel; engagement at Vesle River, during the great American drive at St. Mihiel; and was fighting in the Argonne Forest at the time he as wounded. Should any further information in regards to your brother be obtainable later, I shall gladly furnish you with same; first because the members of his family are entitled to know; and second, that the deeds of such men should never be forgotten by all America. In accord with your wishes, I have turned over the Christmas box (which was received on the same mail with your letter) to Sergeant Rosseton, who perhaps knew him better than any one else.
