Private First Class John J Sullivan, Company C, 1st Battalion 106th Infantry Regiment, died from wounds received in combat on 27 September. John enlisted with the 23rd New York Infantry on 14 May 1917. John served in Ypres Salient with his regiment throughout the summer of 1918 and participated in the assault on the Hindenburg Line. During the battle for the Hindenburg Line John was wounded and taken prisoner by the Germans. John died in captivity on the day Germany yielded the war to the allies. By all accounts, allied prisoners of war received equal medical care as their German brothers at arms. John's final resting place is not recorded.

Rest in God's peace brother.
