WWI Veteran. Co. K, 339th Infantry, 85th Division. Member of the "Polar Bear Expedition" to Northern Russia.
Additional Information from Mike Grobbel (48222443):
Pvt. Kulwicki was originally assigned to the 340th Infantry Regiment and was one of the approx. 500 men who were sent to Archangel to reinforce the 339th Inf. Reg., arriving on 29 Sept 1918. He died of disease and his remains were returned to the US in Nov. 1919.
Research conducted in 2013 confirmed that Private Kulwicki was the great-uncle of the late NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki. Both are buried in Saint Adalberts Cemetery.
An old newspaper article mentioned that Alan's uncle was named "Len" and his father was named "Gerry." Further research confirmed that Len was Leonard (b. circa 1927) and Gerry was his brother Jerome (b. circa 1930, d. 2008) They are the sons of John A. Kulwicki (b. circa 1887). The 1910 US Census records shows John and Andrew as being the sons of Ignatz Kulwicki.
