Buried in France. Enlisted April, 1917. Ray enlisted at the outbreak of war and in January 1918 he landed in France. He was in all the battles up to that of Argonne Forest. A letter from his commanding officer describes his death: “Sergeant Sinnot and a friend of his volunteered to go off a short distance for supplies one night during the Argonne drive. The roads were very bad, but they drove on until a blockade prevented them going any further. They did not stop at this, however, and jumping off the wagon the two trudged along the road until, being overcome with fatigue and the dampness of the night, they decided to build a fire in a nearby dugout to dry their clothes and rest. They were just seated comfortably when a shell exploded close by, fatally wounding Sinnot and blinding his friend for a few minutes. However, they reached a First Aid station and Sinnot died shortly after.” Seventeen rr
