LISLE PHILIP AMBELANG, Lieutenant Dental Corps. Killed in action on the western front August Sixth. Enlisted June, 1917. Ambie received his D. D. S. in 1917 and was transferred from the Dental Reserve to the fighting corps of that branch. He was a class A man and his records were of the highest standard. Lieutenant W. C. Hauser, a classmate of his, wrote the following upon hearing of his death: “Lisle Philip Ambelang, our Ambie, has answered the summons and bravely, when he fell upon the field of honor on the battle-scarred and blood drenched fields of France. He died nobly for a just cause that others might live. He died as he lived—a man. He died as he preferred to die— fighting for his country and its flag.” PHILIP BACH. Died of influenza October Thirteenth, 1918. Buried at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The announcement of Phil Bach’s death came as a shock to his parents and all who knew him as they had no intimation that he was ill. Bach was stationed at Camp Bradley, Peoria, Illinois, and had been in the service a little over five weeks. He received his commission as second lieutenant the day he died. Phil was registered in the Economics department. He was an all around athlete. He played varsity football and was also a crack baseball player and swimmer. While on the Milwaukee Athletic Club swimming team, Phil and his three brothers took every honor that came before them. Sfven

ORLEY CANFIELD BROWN, One Hundred Seventh Field Signal Corps. Killed in action October Tenth, 1918. Buried in France. Enlisted August, 1917. Brown was killed during the fight of Argonne Forest while stringing telephone wires behind the front line of trenches. The men were ordered to finish the work regardless of the number of men lost and while unreeling the wire were caught in a “creeping barrage. The captain in charge said, “Brownie, she’s a long stretch, grab on the wire, let’s go. Brown rose up, grabbed the wire and after going about seventy-five feet two shells burst right beside him killing him instantly. At the time of his death Brown was serving with the Thirty-Second Division. He was killed near Desnes. He was a night Law student and would have been a graduate of the class of ’19. ANDREW CONNELL, Company D, Three Hundred Eleventh Engineers, Eighty-Sixth Division. Died December, 1918, in France. After recovering from a severe illness Connell could not resist the temptation to take part in a game of football with his comrades, but the result was a sad one. He sustained internal injuries and a few days later died. Connell was a student at the Medical school and was an athlete of no mean ability. Whenever the opportunity presented itself he would indulge in athletics. Letters received by his mother, Mrs. Mary Connell, 216 Lincoln street, Janesville, Wisconsin, constantly spoke of his gratification at being able to be overseas. IkF Eight
