‼️IN SEARCH OF A PHOTO OF THIS SOLDIER. PLEASE HELP?‼️

PFC Otto Beard, Greene County, served with the US Army's Company D, 28th Infantry Division during World War I. According to his listed date of death 20 Jul 1918, I believe it was the Battle of Soissons that took his life. However, some records indicate that PFC Beard was listed as missing for quite some time. Those same records give Catigny as place of death so there is some evidence Beard was killed on 28 May 1918 and was missing until recovery of his body on 20 Jul 1918. He is a Purple Heart recipient.

JUST FYI: Cancel all plans to visit Mali and Burkina Faso. They are planning to ban U.S. citizens from entering their countries in retaliation for the U.S. President’s decision to ban Malian and Burkinabe citizens from entering the US. (🙄)

In separate statements, the countries’ foreign ministers cited President Donald Trump’s decision to ban their own citizens from the U.S.
