He was in his sophomore year when war broke out and he applied for admittance and was ac- cepted for the First Officers' Training Camp.

He was promoted to ser- geant and then to second lieutenant, and received his commission as first lieutenant in July, 1918. He sailed for France on February 18, 1918, with the Thirty-second Division. After a month's guard duty in Bordeaux his regiment moved up into Alsace-Lorraine and then in July to Cha- teau Thierry.
