 PVT. JOHN G. GUSTAFSON Serial No. 2,048,918 Chief, Mich. Gustafson was a member of the 310th Ammunition Train before being transferred to Battery B, during September, 1918. He was tall and angular and of a rugged constitution, having spent his life in the outdoors. He understood the care of horses and was made a driver. All will remember his care of government property, blankets, saddles, harness, etc. If he missed any, a thorough search would begin and all drivers might be accused. The other drivers soon got on to this and loved to tease him for the sake of friendly argument. Like many others, he almost sacrificed his mustachio at Camp D’Auvours, but Lieut. Clark. hearing the confusion, came to the rescue, so he received his discharge with this adornment.
