He was born October 24, 1896, at Washington, D. C., the son of Robert Rout West and Martha Gibson (Roberts) West. He prepared for college at the New- ton High School, from which he graduated in 1914, but owing to a slight sunstroke which he suffered that summer he was advised to wait a year before entering college.
In his freshman year at Harvard he was prominent in many activities. He was a member of the freshman soccer team, the freshman track team, the freshman baseball squad, the freshman entertainment committee, and of Theta Delta Chi.
In the spring of 1916, the Cathedral Choir School of St. John the Divine in New York invited him to
84
take charge of the athletics of its boys. He had shown tact and skill in managing boys at a summer camp in the Maine woods; he knew that the work would be congenial. But he was reluctant to withdraw from Harvard, where he was happy and had made friends and was in the full enjoyment of college life. His mother and his brother advised him to remain; but he decided that it would be selfish to continue to be de- pendent upon them when by accepting the offer that he had received he might become self-supporting and still obtain a college education.
So he made the sacrifice and went to New York. He entered on the regular college course at Columbia in the fall of 1916. Every week-day afternoon from two o'clock to six he gave to supervising the athletics of the boys of the Choir School.
On December 15, 1917, West enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and was assigned to the 80th Company, 6th Regiment, 2nd Division. Within a short time he was highly recommended for the Officers' Training Camp and would have gone to it had not sickness, which kept him in hospital for three weeks, prevented. When he recovered, the chance to enter the Officers' Training Camp had passed. On April 18, 1918, he sailed for France. He went through the fighting at Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, and Soissons and finally, on September 15, was killed at Thiaucourt while carrying important messages in the face of machine-gun fire. He was cited by General Pershing as follows: "For distinguished gallantry at Thiaucourt, France, on September 15, 1918." He was also cited in general orders, Headquarters 2nd Division, A. E. F.
He lies buried in St. Mihiel American Cemetery, Thiaucourt, France.

CHARLES H. WISWALL
Private Charles H. Wiswall was called into the ser- vice in June, 1918, trained at Camp Dix, N. J., and went overseas in early September, 1918, with Battery A, 335th Field Artillery. He was stationed near Chateauroux, France. He contracted "flu" and died there October 17, 1918, after two days' illness at Base Hospital No. 9.
