More information

We deeply regretted hearing later that night that T/4 Glynn S. Lowery, another maintenance man who had been doing invaluable work in the department, was picked off by a sniper during the day, and died later.
Technician Lowery was sent into action in France, after the German break through last December and followed the action into Germany.
