Young Mulkey Who Lost Life In France Well Known In Carnegie.

In Memory of Frank Mulkey.

In the loss of Frank B. Mulkey our regiment wishes to express its keen regret. He died at St. Mihiel Sector, on Sept. 15, 1918, and his death was that of a patriot and hero. He was buried with all the military honors that could be given under the circumstances.

He poured out his life blood on the field of honor for America, his home. "Greater love than this, hath no man, than that he lay down his life for his friend." No man could do more. He made the supreme sacrifice willingly, generously and he paid his last full measure of devotion to his country. We, the members of his regiment, officers and men alike, are proud of him, proud of the fact that he was our brother in arms. How justly proud may you not feel of him whose name will live forever on the honor rolls of our land. Rest assured that God in his infinite love and mercy will know how fitly to reward the virtues of patriotism and self sacrifice he so nobly displayed.

In the name of the 359th regiment, we extend to you our sincere condolences, and ask you to accept our expression of profound respect. He was killed by shell-fire and died almost instantly without suffering. He is buried not far from Fey-eu-Haye in this sector with a number of his comrades, and has a cross on his grave.

Sincerely,
M.M. Hoffman, Jr.,
Chaplain 359th Infantry
