THE DIVISIONAL SURGEON-IN-CHIEF, OF THE 66th DIVISION, DR. GEORGES,
MENTIONS IN THE DIVISIONAL ORDER OF THE DAY:
HALL, Richard, of the American Sanitary Section No. 3. The good
Samaritan, Richard Hall, had determined to travel often with us,
on our regular road, in order to extend an untiringly helping
hand to those of our military compatriots upon whom the present
hostilities had brought misfortune. He did this for many long
months with the tenacious persistence that you know of.
On that road a German shell killed him. Reverently I salute his
mortal remains, expressing to him and to his rivals in devotion
to the cause, the members of American Sanitary Section, No. 3, my
sentiment of profound and unstinted admiration, in behalf of the
Sanitary Service of the 66th Division.
By order of the General commanding the 66th Division, I pin to
this coffin the French Croix de Guerre, together with this mention
in the divisional order of the day.
