MARK HAMMEL news article
WOUNDED IN ACTION
Mr. and Mrs. William Hammel received a telegram from the military
authorities Tuesday notifying them that their son, Mark, has been
wounded in action. Mark was enlisted with Chicago men in the 4th
Division, 59th Infantry, Company M. The telegram gave no details as to
the degree of injury sustained and the parents and his many friends here
are anxiously awaiting further particulars. Corp. Hammel was engaged in
the profession of opera singer in which he had attained great excellence
before being drafted into the service.
LATER - Corporal Hammel's parents received a letter from him dated July
19th which was the day after he was wounded and he states his injuries
are not serious but he will be in the hospital some time.

Corporal Mark Hammel, now in a base hospital far behind the firing lines
in France says he is fast recovering from his wound, which was quite
serious. The bullet entered the fleshy part of his arm and then his
chest, narrowly missing the vital spot. Interesting news in Corporal
Hammel's letter to his parents describes the beautiful surroundings at
the hospital. All, except the doctors and nurses, who are there are
soldiers convalescing from wounds but the scenery is grand and band
concerts and good food are plentiful. Corporal Hammel was happier than
words can tell to meet Dr. Gates at the Paris hospital where he was at
first and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
