G. www.gagenweb.org Electronic Copyright 2005 Chapter V GORDON COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR When, in 1917, the United States decided to cast her lot with the allied armies, Gordon County, with patriotio loyalty, accepted readily her proportional share of serv- ice. The names of 1,917 of her sons are listed on the of- ficial register as eligible for World War duty. Some of these embryo soldiers, perforce, got no nearer the battle area than American training camps; others went overseas, where, whether on the firing line or stationed in the trenches; as officers or privates, they pursued their tasks always with stout hearts and faces toward the foe. Some of them received especial honors for outstanding achievements. Judson T. Campbell, of Calhoun, won a Victory medal with five clasps, indicating service in the Champagne-Marne, Aisne Marne, St. Mihiel, and Meuse- Argonne operations, and in the defensive sector of the first army area when not in battle. H. Buren Watts, of Calhoun, was wounded more se- riously than any other Gordon County survivor of the World War. He was awarded the French Croix du Guerre for distinctive courage and the Good Service medal as a member of the United States Marines. George W. Skelly, of Calhoun, was cited for bravery, as follows : General Orders, No. 12, Headquarters 328th Infantry, American E. F., France. April, 1, 1919. 1. The following named man of the 328th Infantry is hereby hon- orably mentioned in regimental orders. He performed fully and prop- erly his duties as a soldier in the hard fighting of the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne. He is a credit to his organization and country. Sergeant George W. Skelly, Sanitary Detachment, 328th Infantry, remained on duty continuously on the Toule and Point-A-Mousse 204 HISTORY OF GORDON COUNTY www.gagenweb.org Electronic Copyright 2005 Fronts. He visited the different battalion stations and kept them well supplied lwith the necessities for the relief of sick and wounded. During the St. Mihiel offensive, he personally went after ambu- lances, often under heavy shell fire, and directed them to places al- most impossible to reach for the evacuation of the wounded. During the Meuse-Argonne offensive he remained continuously at the most advanced aid stations at Sommerance from October 14 to 31, 1918,. where he displayed great courage and bravery and disregard of per- sonal danger, also, extreme devotion to his duties in administering to the wounded under shell fire. Though exhausted, he refused to be re- lieved through the entire operation. 2. The commanding officer takes pride in announcing this fine example of courage and self sacrifice.
