#2104507 - 02/10/12 02:31 PM Help with note on application for headstone
CDee Registered: 03/27/09 Loc: Colorado	I found the application for headstone of my great grandfather and need some advice on something. There is a handwritten note that says " also served as Corp. co C 143 Inf and Pvt. M.G. Co 16th Inf" Any ideas what the M.G. might mean?

Gharett Registered: 04/17/12 Loc: Central PA, USA	My grandfather was in the Machine Gun Battalion in WWI. It's abbreviated MG Bn on another part of the record. _________________________ Paul "If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters.
