Lt. Archibald Limer, Afton, Killed in Action, Sept. 28, 1918


Although we know now that Lt. Archibald Limer of Afton was killed on Sept. 28, 1918, his death wasn't on the Casualty List until later. The following is the Casualty List printed in the Rockingham Post-Dispatch on November 21, 1918, after hostilities ceased at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, which was first called Armistice Day and is now called Veterans Day.
