Leedy. George - Private l/Class Enlisted September 25,
l9l7 - Kingsport Tenn.
Corporal Leedy, better known among his friends as "Boss", hails from Kingsport,Tennessee. His military life Began at Camp Gordon September l9l7, later transferred to the Battalion at Camp Jackson. Being a lineman, he was given a helper whom he named "Gang", who in turn christened him "Boss". When on the fronts or behind the lines, "Boss" did his share; when lines went bad, "Boss" called the "Gang" and found the trouble. "Boss" was a good soldier, but not sailor; on the "good ship Mandingo" seasickness attacked him, causing
him to cast up everything except his shoes, which were
laced on.
