The following data records the death and burial of most men in the 313th Machine Gun Battalion who were Killed in Action or Died of Wounds. The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) tables do not include those men who died by accident or disease. The data complied by the ABMC publication "80th Division, Summary of Operations in the World War" reflects a total of 28 men who were Killed in Action (18) or Died of Wounds (10). 

There are five burial cards missing from Record Group 92 "Card Register of Burials of Deceased American Soldiers" (NAID 6943087) for men known to have been KIA while attached to the 313th Machine Gun Battalion. These five men have been included in the Doughboy MIA Database 1917-1920.The first two deaths in the battalion, George Marshall and Louie Siefert, occurred in the Artois Sector on August 16, 1918. While burial cards for Marshall and Siefert can not be accounted for in the National Archives, their "Grave Location Blank" has been shown here instead.

The next 18 burial cards are displayed in alphabetical order for the men recorded as KIA or DW during the dates October 4-8, 1918. While John Herzing's death occurred on October 14, 1918, his wounds likely occurred during these dates of battle, but his death occurred nearly a week later. Otherwise, every death recorded for the battalion has been accounted for based on the data published by the ABMC. 

There are three burial cards missing for men who were killed during the dates Oct 4-8, but we know these three men to be counted in the Doughboy MIAs - John Conway, Joseph Cusic, and Curtis Dye. The Grave Location Blanks for Conway and Dye appear at the end of this list, but there was no Grave Location Blank found in the burial file for Joseph Cusic.

The burial file for Joseph Francis Cusic (Serial # 2469224) contains no Grave Location Blank, nor any bit of evidence from the battlefield to indicate the location of his death, nor a burial location.
