ALBANY COUNTY SOLDIER KILLED ON BATTLEFIELD

James E. Flagler of Voorheesville has received a letter from a commanding officer of the 55th Company, U. S. Marine Corps, confirming the report that his son, Clifton Flagler, had been killed in action. Private Flagler enlisted in the Marine Corps on July 27, 1917, and was a member of the 55th Company.

The letter follows: Mr. James E. Flagler, Voorheesville, N. Y., R. F. D. 2.

Dear Sir:

You have probably been notified officially of the death on the field of battle, of your son, but I wish personally and on the behalf of the 55th Company to offer you our deepest sympathy for this loss, which we also feel so very deeply. Your son gave his life to further the first great victory of American arms in the world’s war. He gave it in a glorious manner, advancing against the enemy beside his comrades, and died seeing the cause for which he fought victorious.

Again offering you our deepest condolence, I remain,

Most sincerely,

L. Q. C. O. Leyle,

2nd Lieut., U. S. M. C.,

For the 55th Company, U. S. M. C.
