Second Group of
Wounded Men From Overseas Reach U.S. Army Base Hospital
Autocracy tried mighty hard to put these fellows out of the
big fight. With shrapnel and high explosives and a shower of machine gun
bullets the Kaiser’s fighters succeeded in downing this group of men, who had
gone to the front from North and South Carolina, but the spirit of the wounded
“doughboys” only caused their comrades to strike the harder. It is the nerve
which brings these men smiling from their cots of pain that shook the German
moral and hastened the end of the war.
The names of the members of the group photographed on the
side porch of Ward C-3, are reading the top row from left to right—White,
McLane, Sheehan, Harkenbroad. Standing in the second row, from left to right,
Hauck, Keesler, Stroupe, Watts, Mullis, Corbett, Cromer, Loven, Dannenberg,
Lancaster, Thomas. Seated, Bauch, Ray, Hardison, Wooten, Clapp, Simpson and
Briggs. Standing in the doorway are Lieutenant Dew, in charge of ward C-3 and
Nurse, Miss Keefe.
