Art,

Glad to be of help, even if a bit late. What information do you have pertinent to the Rudds? John and Benjamin served in the 372nd Infantry in WW1 and were both among the oficers replaced when Col. Tupes held his infamous "Court of Elimination" in Aug., 1918. We have found them listed on several rosters from the old 9th, and on some paperwork from the 372nd, but have as of yet found no personal info on them. Also, do you have any artifacts or photos related to either of them or any other relatives who served in the 372nd? Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated, and you will receive full credit for such when our book is published.

Thanks in advance,

Jim Ball
