ANOTHER GOLD STAR IN SERVICE FLAG
Another gold star was added to Norwalk’s service flag Saturday when a telegram was received announcing that Private Arthur Waller, aged 22 years, of 30 Monroe Street, had made the supreme sacrifice.
Waller was well-known locally, having been employed at the Remington Arms in Bridgeport prior to his enlistment at the outbreak of the war. He was among the first American soldiers to go to France, and has been engaged in active warfare for some time. He was seriously wounded in action on June 3, and his death was the result of the wounds inflicted.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Waller, formerly of 30 Monroe Street, but who have since removed to 53 West 3rd Street, Wilmington, Delaware. Young Waller was a popular member of the Trinity Young Men’s Club and was well liked and respected by all who knew him.
Albert Waller is listed on a memorial monument in Seaford, Delaware.
