Promotion to private first class

Hmmm. I don't recall Herb mentioning this to his parents, but back in February of 1918 he was promoted to a private first class. Uh-oh, those to-be missing colleagues were also promoted at the same time - Arthur K. Drake and Russell C. Harrison.

What was he doing at this time? I guess he was moving up to the front.... and still in a French Camp.

To my readers, if you wouldn't mind saying hello, I'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment on this post or any other. Best, Alexandra
