Lawrence Meeker First Trojan Officially Reported Wounded in Battle
in France.
Official news of the first Troy casualty in the great world war came
Monday in a dispatch from Washington to Mr. and Mrs. William Meeker that
their son, Private Lawrence Shirley Meeker, had been seriously wounded
in action on July 23d. The department said it had no further official information.
It is therefore not known whether Meeker is recovering from his wounds
or has given his life to the cause of right and justice to which his heart
so patriotically responded.
Lawrence Meeker is 20 years old. He was a trusted employe of E. VanDyne’s
Sons when on last February 5th he went to Elmira and enlisted.
He was sent to Fort Slocum and assigned to Co. B. of the Fourth Regular
Infantry with which it is assumed he was serving when wounded. He sailed
for France the last of April. (Aug 8, 1918 issue)

who is recovering in a French hospital from severe wounds received July
