Re: Cptn. Walter H. Schulze, 138th Aero Squadron

....to add further, it is my understanding he is listed as the last official casualty of the war. The designation as "Peace Messenger" is due to the circumstances surrounding his death. He was flying copies of the signed armistice to the troops so they could know the war was over. He successfully dropped the leaflets, but subsequently crashed while trying an engine restart maneuver.
