Private Tebbs lost his life on September the 29th, 1918 in the horrific Meuse-Argonne offensive. He was a member of the 369th, an all African American unit in which he was a machine gunner. The 369th fought so fiercely that the Germans called them the Harlem Hellfighters. A name that stuck with the unit. Tebbs is buried in the Meuse-Argonne cemetery in France.
