George Wesley of 638 Eighth av. Dayton, is among the first list of wounded reported from the battle front in France, where the American expeditionary forces are in the trenches. Wesley was among those wounded when the Germans made a raid on the trenches right after the first US soldiers had been ordered into the battle line for their first test.
