| | 1ST CL. PVT. PETER PETTRAS
Serial No. 2,026,597
110 Dwight St., Saginaw, Mich.
Inducted at Camp Custer, September, 1917.
Not long after Piettras was in the army he received a pass to go home and quietly got married. It was a standing joke with Lieut. DaPrado, Sergt. Kelley and others that on the private’s return they made him believe that without the consent of the commanding officer he could not be legally married. For several days he did not know whether he was really married or not, but at last he got to bottom of matters and assured his bride that their marriage was perfectly legal.
He served with our outfit as cannoneer and went through the activities at the front with credit to himself, performing his duties in an intelligent, fearless manner. At no time did he shirk burdens placed upon him. Of a kindly nature, quiet and unassuming. |
