AND IN MEMORY
OF FIRST LIEUTENANT
ALLAN WILKINS DOUGLASS
KILLED IN ACTION
AT LIMEY FRANCE
SEPTEMBER XII MCMXVIII
Lieutenant Allan Wilkins Douglass, 113th F. A., 30th Division. At the time war was declared young Douglass was a sophomore at Yale, and, while the news of America's entrance into the war flashed over the wires, Douglass, like many other American boys, had his application for military service on the way to army headquarters. He was assigned in May to the first officers' training camp at Madison Barracks. Late that year he received his commission; was married in March, 1918, prior to his departure overseas. While advancing with his battery on September 12th he met his death. A division citation commends Lieutenant Douglass for his meritorious services as follows:
"First Lieutenant Allan W. Douglass, Deceased, Battery E, 113th Field Artillery. During the engagement near LIMEY, 12th September, 1918, after being struck by a shell splinter he continued the work of removing the dead and wounded horses and moving the carriages to a place of safety. Later he was again struck by a shell and killed while in the performance of his duty. His courage and utter disregard for personal safety inspired the men of his section to continue their work successfully."
