As we know from earlier, some of the Swedish born soldiers who fought and fell in the Great War was brought home an reburied in Sweden. This was the case of the soldier Herman I Hermanson, or Irving as his name was in the family.
The special situation with Irving is that he was born in the USA, went back to Sweden with his mother, and later on sent back to US by his family as they were afraid of that Sweden would be dragged in to the War at that time. The situation for Irving and his family became totally different than expected.
With great support from the the Swedish descendant to Irving, Olof Svanberg, we can now read the full, very interesting, story about Irving in our article at doughboy.org. Read more here

I have managed to find 17 of the soldiers within those criterias, that fell in the war, were buried in France but later brought home to Sweden by US authorities , after their descendants have had their wishes granted.
Those 17 has also been mentioned in American magazines from where you can see a snippet below.
You can read more about the other 16 soldiers here through my earlier post on this page.
