Some time ago ve had an inquiry
regarding he dispdNition of American
soldiers who wenj killed in France.
Later developments Jit the war de
partment show that the bodies will b
returned o American soil after the
war. The letter explaining this is as
follows:
"War Department
"Washington, June S, 1918.
"Hon. J. Hampton Moore,
House of Representatives.
"My Dear Mr. Moore: Receipt
Is acknowledged of your letter of
May 28, 1918, inclosing copy of a let
ter to you from Henry Clair, father
of Capt. Frederick David Clair, T'nit-
ed States medical corp, who was kill
ed in France a few days ago, request
ing your assistance in having thf
body of his son returned to t hi.?
country for interment.
"The question of returning :ne
bodies of soldiers who are killed or
die on foreign service has been con
sidered by the war department and
the navy department in conjunction.
The committee considering this mat
ter went into the case in all Its as
pects and it has been decided that the
bodies of our soldiers, sailors, ma
rines, and civilian employes who an
killed or die In France can not be
returned to this country for inter
ment until after the close of the war.
General Pershing has arranged with
the French government for sections
of the country to be used as military
cemeteries, and the quartermaster
corps has organized r.ml are now op
erating in France certain organiza
tions called grave registration units
These units are charged with tht
duty of burying the dead, caring lor
the cemeteries, and the Identification
records of those buried. This is done
in such a manner that there will be
no confusion or doubt as to the iden
tity of any soldier now burled when
his body is taken up to be tranported
home after the war. For obvious rea
sons no other conclusion court tie ar
rived at under existing conditions, the
main feature being that ol ocean
transportation. The department kC
grets that it is unable to comply With
the request of Mr. Clair."
