Born in Holton, Kansas, enlisted on Sept. 22, 1917 at Minneapolis, Minn.; served in France as a private in Company D, 61st Infantry, wounded in right leg. "This squad consists of two automatic rifle teams, and the corporal. Each team has one automatic rifleman and two carriers . . . A Holton boy, who is still in the hospital is Paul Abbott, son of Mrs. Flora Abbott. He is in the hospital at Camp Dodge. Paul is suffering from a leg wound and has undergone several operations. An attempt was made to take some muscles from his thigh to replace the injured tendons in his leg. While the operation was not entirely a success, other efforts will be made in an endeavor to restore the wounded leg to complete usefulness. At present it is necessary for Paul to wear a brace, but in time he will be able to dispense with this. He too was wounded during the Argonne fight and has paid this long toil of suffering." The Holton Recorder, August 7, 1919.
