Sometimes the answers to our questions lie closer to home. Such was the case in Colford Elmer Garton. We would have so much liked to hear that he had attended various veterans gatherings. Sadly this was never to be as our research was confirmed by the pictures on this page taken by a friend in America.
Colford Garton was indeed among friends, lying peacefully in Beverly cemetery, New Jersey, USA. He was only 30 years of age when he passed away in 1948. Whether this was the result of wounds received in the line of duty is not known.
Above: Colford Garton lies among his fellow servicemen in the cemetery in New Jersey. There is nothing to distinguish his from the others, apart from what we have learned. That is, that he was once a young "Screaming Eagle"
Maybe someone will adopt this soldier too, and pay him a visit every once in a while, just to say "thank you".
