Five More N.C. Soldiers KIA, 2 Died of Wounds, Another of Disease, 1918

“Casualty List,” from The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., Sept., 26, 1918. Men reported killed since the last time the paper was published. The Robesonian was published on Mondays and Thursdays, and this was a Thursday. Also note that the list contains only overseas casualities, so it does not indicate the number of soldiers sick with the flu who are still in the United States.

  1. LT James Britt Journey was a brave and capable officer who survived the awful days of the Marne, only to die less than four weeks later in action. His Mother died of a broken heart three years later on Memorial Day 1921. My son Jayden carries the family name of Journey to honor his life and courage.
