Expense OF the Government
Earnest efforts are being made
by the American Legion to locate
. the names and addresses of the
mothers of Delaware soldiers who
having died or been killed in actor
overseas during the World War
lie buried in European cemeteries
This information is desired by the
, Department of Delaware in order
to assist the War Department to
compile an accurate list of those
eligible to visit the graves of THEN
fallen sons under the terms of rec
emily enacted legislation by the
Congress, which provides that
: these war mothers shall be taken
to Europe under governmental
auspices and at government ex-
pense, commencing next year. A
list of Delaware soldiers who rest
in cemeteries in Europe, is printed
here and G. M. Dillon, the Depart
ment Americanism Officer of the
American Legion in Delaware,
urges that mothers of the men
named in this list communicate
with him, giving the name of the
son for identification purposes,
and her own name and address. 1t
is desired to secure this complete
list, regardless of whether or not
the mother desires to go to Europe
on this mission. Legion authori-
ties desire to stress the fact that
only those whose sons are buried
in France, Belgium, England or
other European countries are eli
gible to make this visit. The as
sistance of every Legion Post and
Auxiliary Unit in Delaware has
been invoked to secure, as prompt
ly as possible, a complete and ac-
curate record fro transmission to
the proper War Department offic-
ials. Posts and Units of the
American Legion arranged to
make a thorough canvass of their
immediate localities for the pur-
pose of locating the mothers of
the men shown in the following
list, reporting promptly the full
name and address of mother, name
of son. These visits will be made
at the expense of the Government
under the chaperonage of the Ped
Cross. Deceased soldiers from Del
