Chester W. Crews was an United States Army soldier who went missing in action on September 6, 1918. He enlisted from Mayer, Arizona and was assigned as a Private to the 28th Division, 109th Infantry Regiment.
The 28th Division arrived in Europe in May of 1918 and five days prior to McLellan's disappearance, finished the month-long Battle of Fismes and Fismette in Fismes, France. McLellan presumably participated in the battle, but the extent of his participation is unknown and details leading to his disappearance after the battle of him are unknown. Additionally, no images of him are available.
After his disappearance, he was awarded the Purple Heart and presumably the World War I Victory Medal. His name is also memorialized at the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery and Memorial in Fere-en-Tardenois, France.
McLellan remains part of the 4,223 Americans who remain unaccounted for during World War I. Additionally, he is one of eight Arizonans who are unaccounted for during World War I. Curiously, two other Arizonans went missing with him on the same date. Their cases are not under investigation by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
