More Illinois World War I Medal of Honor Winners

From Illinois Chronicles. //// With the centennial of World War I's beginning fast-approaching (in August for the rest of the world, not until 1917 for the United States), it is interesting to note Illinois recipients of the Medal of Honor. Saturday, I wrote about Harold E. Goetttler of Chicago who died trying to deliver supplies by air to the famed Lost Battalion of the Argonne Forest on October 6, 1918. //// Other winners: John J. Kelly of Chicago; Weedon E. Osborne of Chicago; Thomas A. Pope of Chicago and Fred E. Smith of Rockford. ////
