Frank Dostal of Oxford Junction was killed in action on October 23, 1918. He was the second of Oxford's young heroes to die in battle. Frank Dostal was born December 1, 1891, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Dostal of Oxford Junction. He went to Camp Dodge on April 25, 1918, thence to Camp Travis, then to Camp Mills and from that point sailed for overseas. In September he was in the trenches and with the exception of a short rest in October his division was in continual action. Private Dostal was one of the most popular young business men of Oxford Junction and his death was deeply mourned by the whole community who while glorifying in his achievement will miss the familiar face and see the sadness mingled with pride in the features of the dear old mother who made the supreme sacrifice of her boy. | ||||
