My family and I are very impressed and
grateful for your excellent web site. My great grandmother's brother died
when the Tuscania went down. He was Private John B Bishop, b. 3/15/1893, d.
2/5/1918. On his gravestone in Foster Cemetery, Foster, OK it says "32nd Co.
9th Bat. 165 Dept. Brigade Camp Travis. I found him in your lists.
