Glad to be able to share your event for Private Koch at St Helena,through these online pictures of the day, and all your other events through the year.I remember the deep appreciation I felt when Capt. A.W.Starr was recognized with an official Mil. marker and hope Pvt Koch's decendents were able to experience the same.
