The Adjutant General
No Orleans county list can be coaz-
plete and accurate for various rez-
sons. For example, Lynn C. Sanbozz
lost his life overseas and the ofiEszE
list credited him to ST. JohnsburE
but his mother and his home was In
Orleans. That there were deaths q
county men both in the navy and IN
the Canadian service is also known. 6xE

of course, contain these names
