World War I Soldiers - Bainbridge, NY

Jasper Partridge First to Enlist

Bainbridge Republican, April 26, 1917

 

The first young man to enlist in the service from Bainbridge since war was declared against Germany is Jasper H. Partridge, son of Mr. and Mrs. P.W. Partridge.  He was in Binghamton Friday, passed the examinations and was assigned to the First Ambulance Corps of that city.  He is home at present but expects to be called any day.  While showing his patriotism for his country Mr. Partridge leads the way for other young men to follow.  Uncle Sam needs young men in all branches of military and naval service and there is rapid advancement for all who enlist now.  Since this article was put in type two other young men from Bainbridge have enlisted, Edwin l. Collins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Collins, and J. Clifton Oles, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.I. Oles. They joined the First Ambulance corps of Binghamton and are home waiting orders.  Mr. Collins served at the Plattsburg training camp last summer.
