Person notified was his mother, Mrs. Anna Adamec. The last name on the card appears to end in the same. By looking up the last name Adamec and the death date and Indiana, I find a soldier named PVT 1CL Joseph Adamec listed on the find a grave website. He was born Mar. 19, 1893 and died Nov. 14, 1918. That would make him 24 years old. Also listed at a Member of Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Division, WWI.
