Jan [aka John] Budzinski
[The List of Liberty Row Names shows a Jan Budinsky and a John Budisky, but research revealed that those were probable misspellings of Jan Budzinski, who was the only soldier with that surname from Cleveland who died in WWI. The research showed several other Ohio soldiers with similar surnames, but they were either honorably discharged or not from Cleveland. We're grateful to a volunteer contributor who helped clarify the identity of this soldier.]
