Strong of 360 So. 9th East, Salt Lake City, Utah, 22 years of age, enlisted in the United States Army May 3, 1917. After remaining at Fort douglas for fifteen days, was transferred to Fort McDowell, California, May 18, 1917. There he became a member of the 13th Field Artillery, Battery F, and was sent to Fort Bliss, Texas, for further training. From there, the company moved to Camo Greene, North Carolina, and on May 11, 1918, he sailed for France receiving there his final training. He fought through the Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel, Argonne Forest, and several other battles, and only received a slight flesh wound. When the armistice was signed, his company moved on to Germany, with the army of occupation, where he remained for over six months, at which time, General Pershing released him on account of sickness at home. He left Germany, May 23, 1919, for home--passed two examinations, but was sent to the hospital upon taking a third examination with erysipelas and bronchial pneumonia. From reports received from various friends, Mr. Strong died in the hospital, June 8, 1919, and the ship he would have sailed on left for the United States on the 9th. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His death one may well believe, was a great shock to his parents, relatives, and friends who were anxiously awaiting his arrival, June 28."
