Sgt. Reed
Comments: Pvt. Bird had been killed in April. Peter Kemp , Leonard Bradshaw, & Robert Grunden were all killed on Sept. 30, 1918. Joe Williams of Co. D was killed @ Chateau Thierry on July 28, 1918. Is this a "friends who were killed" list? Seems the final inscription is "Past. Off" implying they "went over," as it was said. We can't determine who the 5th name is.
