I recently came across a relative's tombstone with the following information:
His Name
Pennsylvania
Private, Co C 17 Tank Battalion
WW I
I have omitted his name at this time, but will provide it as requested. He was born in 1901.
I have started some online research into WW I AEF Tank units and did not find any Battalion numbers as low as "17"; only British units numbered as such
Could it be that the 'Veteran's Grave Marker' was incorrect?
Any assistance, direction, guidance would be greatly appreciated.
