Many US Troops died in the last days of the first world war in France and Belgium. I am trying to obtain details regarding my Grand Uncle Thomas Curtin born Chicago 1894 whose family returned to Listowel Co. Kerry, Ireland in 1900. Some time after 1911 Thomas returned to the USA enlisted in the US Army and according to my late father was an NCO when killed in Belgium on November 10Th 1918 by a sniper. I am aware that many who died on November 11Th had their dates of death registered as the 10th for widows pension purposes. I am aware that another soldier from Listowel, Co Kerry also in US army died same day and that a piece appeared in a US newspaper concerning the two men. Despite over a year on the web I have discovered no further details of their place of death , any accounts of his death or where he is buried. I would be grateful for any clues as to information or where to look or further sources.
