American Soldiers of World War I

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The page shows a Lieutenant "WOOD, Franklin, Chicago" among the Illinois killed in action. That fits the name, the Chicago residence and the 1918 death. The entry has no middle initial or other identifiers and no date, so the match rests on name and place only.
Matches: Page 273, Illinois, Killed in Action, Lieutenants—Continued, has the entry "WOOD, Franklin, Chicago."; Surname and first name match the claimed Franklin G Wood.; The hometown given is Chicago, which matches the claimed residence.; A killed-in-action listing fits a man who died in 1918.
Limits: The entry gives no middle initial, so the "G" cannot be confirmed.; The entry has no birth date, age or parents, so it cannot confirm identity with the 1895 birth beyond the name and place.; The listing gives a hometown but no date; "about 1917" is inferred from the war service.; This is a printed roll (Haulsee, Soldiers of the Great War) reached through an Ancestry database, not an original enlistment or service record.; Other men named Franklin Wood from Chicago cannot be ruled out from this page alone.
