| | PVT. BERT E. EDDY
Serial No. 2,984,056
36 Oak St., Battle Creek, Mich.
At Coetquidan Private Eddy was transferred from the 330th Field Artillery and assigned to Battery B, and was immediately detailed as blacksmith, which duty he performed throughout all of our existence with the horses. While Private Eddy never received the rank of blacksmith, he had charge of all the horse-shoeing in the Battery. He was absolutely fearless when it came to handling horses and could subdue the most obstreperous.
Will we ever forget his tireless energy in shoeing the horses while on the march? He was a good, faithful worker and would stand up to anything in his line of duty.
He had a loud, cheery voice and could talk over the noise of his anvil while he and his gang worked.
