Citations for Bravery.
Sergt. Arthur C. Lytle. of Co. i
G., 118th Infantry, has sent The '
Times a copy of General Orders ]
No. 6, in which is noted the following
citations for bravery for
Fort Mill boys while in action:
First Sergt Willie H. Nims,
(1311282) Company G, 118th Infantry.
During the engagement t
near Montbrehain, 8th October i
1918, after all officers of his 1
company had been wounded, and ?
he himself painfully wounded by
shell fire in the leg, but unwill- h
ing to leave his comrades he r
assumed command of his com
pany and led them with re- v
markable dash and intrepidity b
through heavy machine gun fire.
His wound proving very serious ?
he was compelled to use a stick w
as a crutch in order to go for- e
ward, but he neverthelees con- P
tinued to lead his company until r,
the objective was reached and tl
the position consolidated. The j
remarkable courage and fortitude | =
of this soldier at all times was :
the source of groat inspiration i t
to his men.
Sergt. Thomas L. Hall, (1311- .
284) Deceased, Company G, 118th
Infantry. During the engage- f
ment near Monbrehain, 8th Octo- L
ber 1918, this non-commissioned 8
officer was in command of a ^
platoon and through his courage
and initiative succeeded in a
knocking out a number of hostile P
machine gun posts. On one *
occasion while advancing with y
his platoon, and enemy machine o
gun fire was interfering serious- t]
ly with the advance of his men, K
Sergeant Hall discovered the 3
enemy in a nearby shell hole L
and not willing to sacrifice his 11
mon arluannoH olnnn n??4 ?..CJ
uu?unvvu Uiviic auu Wl^cu
out the five occupants with his
bayonet. Later in the day while
advancing upon another enemy ~
machine gun post he was mortally
wounded by machine gun
fire and later died. His skill as
a leader and his conduct in the
lace of danger has won the admiration
of all ranks.
Corporal Clarence C. Hope,
(1324447) Battery F. 113th Field
Artillery. During the operations
on 27th October 1918, near
the Bois de Begue, this soldier,
on liaison duty with the infantry,
went forward on his own accord,
when others had to seek protection
from the terrific machine .
gun fire, and salvaged enemy
wire within fifty to one hundred v
yards of the front lines, exposing
himself to the heavy shell
and machine gun fire, and in so 1
doing secured material that en
abled the furtherance of tele- ?
phone liaison with our front ,
lines. His conduct was conspicuous
for its daring and is
worthy of the utmost commendation.
Mechanic John S. Bayne,
(1311394) Company G, 118th Infantry.
During the operations
near Bohain, 10th October 1918.
after all the company runners
had been killed or wounded, this
soldier volunteered to carry a
message to battalion headquarters.
In order to do so it was
necessary to pass through a very
neavily shelled area, which he
unhesitatingly did, although 1
having his pack shot from his <
back. He was the first runner ,
to reach battalion headquarters ,
that day and carried important
information to the battalion commander.
His conduct through '
the entire engagement was conspicuous
for its daring and de- <
votion to duty.
Private George F. McCall,
(1311440) Company G. 118th
Infantry. During the engagement
near Montbrehain, 8th
October 1918, this soldier was
company runner and carried
messages successfully to battalion
headquarters over heavily
shelled ground. In one case
where he was carrying message
to battalion from one of the
company commanders, which
contained valuable information
about the line, it became necessary
to cross an unusually heavily
shelled area. By jumping from
shell hole to shell hole he was
able to deliver the message
which anabled the battalion commander
to meet the situation
which otherwise would have
proved very disastrous to ourj
troops. This soldier at all times
showed utter disregartd of per
- 1 - - -T *
su;mi saiety and his conduct was
an inspiring example to his comrades.
Tribute of Respect.
Whereas it has pleased God,
in His infinite wisdom, to remove
from our midst one of our most
beloved pupils and classmates,
and to take from this world,
where we see through a glass
darkly, to that brighter land '
where we share all things in His <
light, the soul of Charles <
McNealy, Jr., therefore, be it <
resolved: <
First, that, in the death of our J
enthusiastic and devoted pupil (
and classmate, the Fort Mill i
j Graded School has suffered a <
loss truly irreparable until the *
the day when all the secrets of
God shall be revealed and we ,
shall knit together the ties <
broken on earth; <
Second, that we express our '
submission to the supreme will ,
CK " " *
of our Heavenly Father; I
Third, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the bereaved
family, and a copy be
sent to the Fort Mill Times for
publication.
