He was honored as Geor

During World War 5, he
served with ehe British Ex

to operate field hospitals be
hind the lines in some of the
heaviest fighting of the war.
Two of the units he served
with here so decimated that
they were retired from ac

took over the Chateau Thierry
area, he was transferred to
operate field hospitals tor
them. He was wounded while
on duty- behind the lines near
St. Miheil.
Soon after being discharged
