22 Hopkins Avenue; Jersey City, New Jersey. John P. Dullard, Director, New Jersey War History Bureau; Trenton, New Jersey. Dear Sir: I am enclosing herewith [an] outline of the service record of my son, Louis Julius Freudenberg, and his photograph. If there is any other information desired fondly let me know. Respectfully yours, (Mrs.) Eloise Freudenberg.

Private Louis Julius Freudenberg; Co. 'M' 309th Infantry sailed from the U.S. May 19th, 1918. Arrived overseas May the 31st. Fought in the following battles: St. Mihiel offensive, September 12th to 15th, 1918; Limey Sector, September 16th to October 4th; Meuse Argonne offensive, October 11th to 16th. Private Freudenberg was a "runner" delivering messages along the lines. He was called an "angel" by the boys because he was constantly cheering them up, and had words of comfort for all. While participating in an attack on enemy positions near St. Juvin, France, on October 16th, 1918 he was wounded by machine gun bullets and was lying in a shell hole with his sergeant who was wounded in the arm. Private Freudenberg volunteered to try and get back [to] the line to summon aid for his sergeant, and when he arose to do so was shot in the head and killed. His body was laid to rest with full military honors, East of Champigneulle, France. Born August 4th, 1894.

Notes

The New Jersey State Archives writes: "The correspondence linked to the database originated from the New Jersey State Library's War History Bureau collection. The Bureau sent letters to fallen soldiers' families, asking for a photograph of their loved one. The photographs were to be used in a Bureau publication. The correspondence that the Bureau received with the photographs sometimes describes the soldier's life before the war and how he died fighting for his country." She wrote "fondly let me know" but the phrase is "kindly let me know".
