THE OBITUARY OF

Dimitrios G. Stratikopulus


Dimitrios G. Stratikopulus

Word was received in Council Bluffs from Washington, D.C. Tuesday afternoon announcing the death in action overseas of DIMITRIOS G. STRATIKOPULUS, a Greek who was a member of Company L, 168th Infantry. He enlisted with the company at the time of the Mexican border trouble in 1916 and served there nine months. In the summer of 1917 he went to Camp Dodge, Des Moines, with the company and eventually overseas.

He was 25 years of age and a cousin living at 1200 Fifth Avenue is the only relative surviving him in the United States. He leaves a father and mother and one brother in Greece, the brother being a cripple who received his injury during the war of 1912, against Bulgaria.

Stratikopulus was the sole support of his father, mother and brother, it is said. During his residence in this city he made many friends, not only among the people of his own nationality, but among others as well.
