Brother of Winifred (Flynn) Dwyer, born at St. Joseph, Missouri, in December 1897, 19 December by his burial record. In August 1917 he was a corporal in Company B, the St. Joseph company of the 6th Missouri Infantry, which became part of the 140th Infantry, 35th Division. In the Vosges in the summer of 1918, as commander of a combat group, he reported the American flag raised on a sniper house in No Man's Land: "The Flag Flies. 'Twas a narrow escape. ... The flag went up just the same." In February 1919 Sergeant Richard T. Flynn, of 1919 Union Street, St. Joseph, was on the casualty list, his wife Marie E. Flynn his next of kin. He served on as a reserve officer: at Fort Mason, San Francisco, from 1941, in the Quartermaster Corps; assistant inspector general in Korea, 1953-54, and inspector general at Fort Lewis, 1954-55. He retired as a colonel on 31 October 1957, died at Denver on 11 May 1996, and is buried with Marie (1895-1989), a Marine Corps veteran, at Fort Logan National Cemetery (source). No one record names his parents; that the soldier is this son of William C. Flynn is probable, from his name, town, birth, death and wife (Flynn line (U.S.): notable connections for Jerome Edwin Dwyer).
