Migauckas Square

in Memory of
Sergt Thomas J. Migauckas
Company C 101st Engineers
Born: May 5, 1891
Killed in action at St. Mihiel
September 12, 1918

The memorial for Sgt. Migauckas stands at the intersection of Providence and Harrison streets. He was a graduate of Holy Cross '14, and apparently a lawyer, so I'm a bit surprised to find him in the ranks rather than commissioned. This entry is quoted from Holy Cross College Service Record, War of 1917, published by the college:

"Lawyer. Worcester, Mass. He enlisted with the 101st Regiment of U.S. engineers in May, 1917, at Boston, Mass. Here he received the usual training in the Boston Armory and was made a corporal. He sailed for France, September 24th, 1917 and was there assigned to an officer's training school. With the rank of Sargeant he was in the engagements at Chateau Thierry, Marne River and St. Mihiel, and was killed by a machine gun bullet through the heart at St. Mihiel, September 12, 1918."
