If you could get the unit information from the Springfield Research service ( they do provide information for a fee) assuming your serial number was in their files. It would be very difficult to trace it to an individual soldier. So it appears likely your weapon was issued in August 1918 to some Army unit and possibly saw service in WWI. So close to the actual serial number you needed! According to the Springfield Research Service Serial Numbers book Volumes 3 and 4: serial number 295360 was issued on to Company F, 124th Infantry Regiment, and serial number 295361 was issued on to Camp Wheeler, GA. Three companies made M1917 rifles, the Winchester company made the fewest with a total production of 465,980.
