Charles James Sistek served in World War 1 with the the United States Army . The dates of service are: Known Died in France September 1918.

 

Charles Sistek was my great uncle. His death at age 22 meant that I would never meet him. He was the only son of his parents and only brother to his four sisters.

Just six months after his death from pneumonia while serving in Battalion E of the 54th Army Coast Artillery Corps, his father was killed in a work-related rail yard accident.

I have tried in vain to locate his remains. The price this family and others have paid is beyond description.
