EVERY state now would do well to compile record of
Il its in army and navy service, and especially Of
killed in action This should be matter of state PRIDE
to enlist interest because Of love for the and ad
mirston of their deeds The department keeps
ords It is tue but these not records by states
It is Of especial interest to know the records of
who their lives for their country and those who
wounded In Arizona, unofficial cOmpilers have kept
track Of most Of the killed and wounded men and the
actions in which their casualties occurred
The following for instance is statement of the cas-
ualties sustained by of the Arizona men:
from abroad has word that many of the Arizona
in the last of the fighting but that the Arizona
National Guard regiment the 158th did get oppor
tunity to 90 into action organization It part
Of the 10th division, held back Of the lines for depot and
replacement purposes There seemed however to have
been policy OF attaching officers from the division to
front line organizations, for practice and experience and
thus many Of the commissioned Arzonans have
tual battle service At least part of the 34oth artillery
went the line early IN the American campaign This
regiment organized at Camp Funston and had large
number of Arizona members despite heavy draft upon
them for the Arizona infantry at Camp Kearny.
Thus happens that of the casualties reported
have been of Arizona who had volunteered early in
the and who in many subdivisions Of the expe
dictionary forces.
Though nobody has been reported there now appears
doubt Of the death of Lieut. Frank Luke the young
aviator from Phoenix who ported three balloons in the
last flight that took him into the unknown.
