Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: Record Type Military Service; Birth Date 5 Jun 1894; Military Date 17 Jan 1919; Residence Place Gardiner, ME; Death Date 11 Sep 1959. The entry gives one 'Military Date' and does not say whether it is an enlistment or a discharge date; it gives no unit, rank or enlistment date. The date equals the discharge date in the Maine Military Index. 'St. Louis, Missouri' in the source note is the repository, not an event place. Whether this is our person: Confirmed: the birth date, residence and death date match the headstone and the census records for Ernest Linwood Oak of Gardiner.
