Click here to view the The Evening Record article printed on October 31, 1918 which mentions Walter Weir having been sick and returning home expecting to sail for “Over There”. According to the article Walter Weir was “a well known local boy”. I do not know from this brief article under "Hackensack Locals" which branch of service he was in as of May 2012.
