  1. Thanks for all your coverage of the Lost Battalion! I'm related to Capt.George G. McMurtry and have visited most of the AEF sites in France, McMurtry's home and grave in Bar Harbor, ME, and saw Cher Ami at the Smithsonian. I'm also related to Lindon Bates Jr., who died on the Lusitania while on an official war relief mission. I've researched both relatives and would be happy to share my results with your readers in the future if an opportunity arises. Gordon Hoffman (maternal grandmother: Edith McMurtry Bates)
