(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) On Sept. 15, 1918, with World War I nearing an end, United States Marine George Henry Humphrey was killed by a machine gun bullet through his helmet.
Pinned down by the Germans, George's fellow soldiers hastily buried him in the woods of rural northern France.
They drew a map and later tried to explain the location to George's family, but the grave could not be found.
Until now. Continued
