    • Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Oct 10, 1918.
      "Regiment Again in Action - Two Men of 307th reported as Being seriously injured - Hornell, Oct 9. - That the 307th Infantry, which is made up largely of men from this section of the country, has been in action again is evident from the fact that J. Milton Allen and Anthony J. Fink, both of this city have been seriously wounded. Private Allen was a member of the Machine Gun Company. He was a linotype operator, 23 years old and was drafted from Buffalo on February 27, 1918, and dhortly after being moblized at Camp Upton was sent across. He was born in Almond and learned his trade in Canisteo and fro a time worked in this city. He was working in Canisteo at the time he was drafted, although he registered wheil he was in Buffalo. Private Fink was a boilermaker in the local Ere shops at the tie of drafted, on February 27, 1918. He was also sent to Camp Upton and from there to France. The war department has also just notified the family of the wounding of Private Joseph Norton, of Canisteo, although it happended more than a month ago."
