Eckhart Vissering attended Minonk High School from 1910 to 1914, graduating in the spring of 1914. He was drafted into the service on April 25, 1918, and left for Camp Grant, where he spent several weeks in training. He became a member of the same company as his brother, and therefore passed through the various experiences of army life, with him. This was indeed co-incident, as the two brothers have served in the same company from the beginning, both here in the states, and "over there." Eckhart was commissioned sergeant in July, 1918.
He is now attending the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and expects to be home by August the first. |
