PFC. Bartholomew F. Butler Coy. F 308th Infantry Regiment (d.16th July 1918)

Bartholomew Butler was born in July 1895 (per 1900 US census) in Brooklyn, New York City, Kings Co., New York.
Newspaper article:
Private Barth F. Butler.
Private Bartholomew F. Butler, died of wounds, was born in Brooklyn twenty two years ago. He was a graduate of Visitation Parochial School, He was a member of the Visitation Church and the Holy Name Society. He was also an active member of the Old Hill House Club. In September 1917, he was drafted and went overseas last April [1918] with the 308th Infantry. His mother received a telegram from Washington on Oct. 23 stating her son had died on July 16 and had been buried with full military honors in France.
He lived at 127 Dikeman Street where he is survived by his mother, Elizabeth, his father, Thomas; three brothers, James, Walter and Thomas, and two sisters, Elizabeth Butler and [Mary] Mrs. J. Taylor.
Brooklyn Daily Standard Union, 29 October 1918
I have been unable to locate where he is buried in France. According to Hussey, Alexander T.; Flynn, Raymond M. "The history of Company E, 308th Infantry (1917-1919)", (New York: Knickerbocker Press, 1919) at p. 25, Company F relieved Company E on July 5, 1918, at the front line trenches near Badonvillers, France, on that part of the front line covered by posts 14 to 23 inclusive. So, am assuming this is where Bartholomew F. Butler was wounded and died.

William Baxter DSC 308th Infantry Regiment

My great Uncles, William "Big Bill" Baxter and James Daniel "Jimmy" Baxter, served in the famous 308th Infantry Regiment from 1917 to about 1920. They and their unit fought their way across France to western Germany over the summer and fall of 1918. Jimmy was eventually taken as Prisoner of War while chasing a German unit and later returned home in 1919.
Bill Baxter was a medic and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions on two separate occasions before his injury at the end of September 1918.
Their Aunt Ann, from the same household as theirs before The Great War, also served overseas as an Army Nurse in that same time period.
I only uncovered their stories recently, after researching and documenting my Grandfather's all but lost paternal heritage. Early deaths and an estrangement left this history unknown to my grandfather Wally Baxter and his now large extended family of descendants.
As it happens I'm now 41 but in 1995 I was a 19 year Army medic and healthcare professional at the US Army Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany. Landstuhl is a small post consisting of a hospital, support buildings, barracks and housing in a quiet village in Germany's far west, near the French Border.
