Works Office Notes
Lieut. John C. Mitchell has returned from France, and is
working for the Company assisting Aiken Moore in the Accounting Department.
Lieutenant Mitchell entered the Officers’ Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe in
August, 1917. There he was commissioned a first lieutenant of infantry.
In February, he was sent to Camp McArthur at Waco, Texas,
where he remained until July, when he went overseas with the Seventh Division.
In November, he was wounded during a reconnaisance in front of the enemy’s
lines. This was near Mont Peser Farm in the St. Mihiel sector. It was January
before he recovered, when he was sent back to Camp Dix for final discharge.
