James Bethel Gresham was the first soldier to lose his life in the WW1. James never had an easy life. He took a job in the 4th to support his family after the passing of his father. In his early 20s he enlisted and ultimately gave his life for our country. May you rest in peace James 🇺🇸🙏🏼 | The Paranormal Couple
