Private Glenn H. Campbell enlisted at Mankato on May, 1, 1917, shortly after war was declared, and left on the evening of May 2 for Jefferson Barracks. On May 9 he was sent to Fort Wright, on Fisher's Island eff the coast of Connecticut, and served with the Fourth company of the Artillery corps until July 26, 1917, when he was transferred to the First Division Ammunition Train, Motor Truck section, Truck company No. 1. Campbell was sent to New York and on August 7 boarded the transport Antilles on which the unit was transported to France, being among the first American troops to land on European shores.

From November to January. Campbell and his unit were in winter quarters through the first three months of 1918. January. February and March the unit was stationed at Sanzey, a few miles north of Toul and but a short distance from the front.

To get to the front the ammunition train passed through Menilla-Toul. About three quarters of a mile beyond the little village was a bend in the road known as "Bead Man's Curve," because of the fact that several men had been killed at this spot.

Campbell, as assistant truck driver on a machine driven by a young man named Sullivan, was proceeding to the front on the night of February 27. when, just as the truck was rounding the curve, a shrapnel shell struck the roadside and exploded. Part of the shell tore away the radiator of the truck and striking Campbell in the side, passed completely through his body.

He was immediately removed to an advance hospital in a cellar in the shattered village, where he died a short time later. He is now buried in Saint Clair Union Cemetery, Saint Clair, Blue Earth County, Minnesota, USA.
