Born In Langdon
Died In France
Youngest Son of A. L. Perry Is
Numbered Among Our Hero
Dead on Battle Front

In a letter to the Democrat under
date of the 29th ult... from Rich
mond, Va, with a clipping enclosed.
comes the news from A. L. Perry.
who will be recalled by the older re-
sidents of Langdon and vicinity, as
employed here as the grain buyer of
the Northwestern elevator. of the
death of his son who was killed in
action while fighting in France. The
victim was George, the youngest son
of the Perrys. The boy being born
here in Langdon shortly before their
leaving for Virginia. There were
no details accompanying the message
which came from the war department
briefly stating that the boy was dead,
and died fighting for his country in
Fra-ce on September 26th. He had
evidently taking his part in the great
American drive which occurred dur.
ing the latter part of that month on
the western front.
Besides the father and mother,
there are three sisters and one
brother, A. L. Perry, Jr., who is
also over seas with the Third Cava-
Try. The clipping also states that
the deceased was among the first of
the boys of Richmond boys to enter
the army after the worlds war be.
gan He volunteered and entered
training at Fort Slocum, N T.. later
being transferred from the infantry
to the Tenth Cavalry. He saw ser.
vice on the Mexican border, while
stationed at Fort Houston, before go.
ing over to France, and in letter
from the commanding officer of his
regiment to the parents was highly
commended for his courageous con.
duct and manly character.
When Uncle Sans soldiers began
moving across the Atlantic to France.
young Perry was not content to re.
main behind and secured a transfer
from the cavalary to the field artil.
erv. in which he made a record fo1
workmanship. He was with this
command when he was killed in &C.
tion. The record is exactly the one
which those who knew the family
would expect to hear of son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. L. Perry, in the service
of his country. They have reason te
feel proud of the record made by thei,
son, and old Langdon friends gym.
