Private Ivie arrived in France on May 20 and went into the trenches for the first time on July 4, 1918. He later served in the Toul Sector and was killed in the Argonne offensive on Sept. 28, 1918. He had just helped capture the town of Cheppy and was digging in when one of his comrades saw him raise up on his knees and heard him say, "Boys, I'm shot through the lungs." Then he fell back, dead.
