HEADQUARTERSIII CORPS OFFICE OF THE COMMANDING GENERAL CAMP POLK, LOUISIANA, 15 October 1945 The purpose of this booklet is to give to the officers and men of Headquarters, Headquarters Company, and Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, Corps Artillery, a short history in words, pictures and sketches of their II Corps, which they may take hometotheir families and friends— and,in the years to come, to re-read, live again, and perchance to dream. A roster of the per- sonnel with addresses as known today, a map and two large charts are included. Weare indebted principally to Captain James C. McNamara for muchofthe written story, its style and mannerof presentation. Captain Charles F. Watkins and Colonel Norman B. Edwards, both of the G-8 Section, Colonel F. Russel Lyons, Corps Engineer, and Headquarters Corps Artillery have contributed someparts. All sections of Corps have helped with material. The excellent sketches, charts and pictures have been assembled by the able artists of Corps Headquarters. The general staff has doneits usualfine job of supervision and our able and smiling Chief. Colonel James H.Phillips has provided muchof the vision, scope and coordination. The III Corps was made famous byits seizure of the Ludendorff Bridge over the Rhine at Remagen. It was called the Phantom Corps by surprisingly showing up at manycritical places. The Corps became great by winning extraordinary victories.

  • Chapter IX, the Struggle for a Commissioned Corps Continues
    THE ST RUGGLE FOR A COMMI ss IONED CORP S CON T INUE S Chapter IX THE ST RUGGLE FOR A COMMI ss IONED CORP S CON T INUE S , 1905–1908 Introduction During their first 4 years of service, contract dental surgeons had demonstrat- ed their importance to improving both the health of the American soldier and the Army’s overall readiness. Yet they seemed to many about as far away as ever from their goal of complete professional recognition: commissioned status in a US Army Dental Corps that was equal to its colleagues within the Army Medical Department. The dental surgeons and their supporters in the National Dental As- sociation (NDA) and American dental community believed that Surgeon General George Sternberg had agreed to commissioned status. Now his successor, Briga- dier General Robert O’Reilly, distanced himself from Sternberg’s position as he fought for a major reorganization of the Medical Department that would relieve the shortage of medical officers left after the Act of February 2, 1901. Moreover, the War Department general staff, created in the major Army reorganization of 1903 as the primary advisor to the secretary of war and chief of staff in all matters of plan- ning, organization, and operations, had set itself solidly against the establishment of a commissioned dental corps of any sort. The dental community entered 1905 with two bills (S 5906 and HR 79) under consideration in Congress, as well as John Marshall’s draft bill under study in the War Department general staff. But before anything could happen, the American dental community had to repair some of its own fences as personal rivalries and disunity emerged as major obstacles to a united political “dental” front.

  • The Canaday Family
    UPDATED JULY 12, 2014 THE CANADAY FAMILY Guesswork at the early line of Canadays Based on what pops up in Maryland in the 1600s and early 1700s, I am making a stab at the early American part of this particular Canaday family. Much of this is based on several points. These lines all spell their name the same way. They were all Quakers. They all have roots on the Eastern shore of Maryland in the mid to late 1600s. All moved to Virginia by the early 1700s. They married into the same families. WILLIAM CANADAY William was born about 1645-1650 most likely in Ireland, but possibly in England. Records show that he was transported to Virginia (Virginia, which of course then included Maryland, Pennsylvania and most of the South) in 1665. Transport was paid for by Ambrose London on January 22, 1865. He is listed in Somerset County Maryland in 1666. He married Anne Fisher in Somerset May 28, 1667 or April 26, 1668. Anne came to Maryland by ship in 1665. Transport was paid by Richard Whitty who sold Anne’s indenture to William Canaday, and they were married soon afterwards. They were later divorced and Anne married George Treherne on August 29, 1676. He had a daughter Mary born July 26, 1669 and son William born October 22, 1671, and maybe another one or two tossed in for good measure. Then he seems to have married again and had Roger in 1678 and John in 1680. JOHN CANADAY John was born in Somerset County Maryland in about 1680.

  • Chapter X, an Army Dental Corps at Last, 1909-1911
    AN ARMY DENT A L CORPS A T LA ST Chapter X AN ARMY DENT A L CORPS A T LA ST , 1909–1911 Introduction When Brigadier General Robert O’Reilly retired from the Army on January 14, 1909, the dental surgeons and American dental community were no nearer their cherished goal of a commissioned dental corps than they had been in 1901. The new Army surgeon general, Brigadier General George Torney (1850–1913), benefited significantly from his predecessor’s success with the Medical Depart- ment reorganization of the previous April and was free to focus on other pressing matters. Torney was also familiar with John Marshall and dental issues from his years as commander of the Presidio General Hospital (1904–1908) where Marshall practiced from September 1901 until March 1908, when he was transferred to the Philippines. However, the question was whether Torney would bring any change to the positions of the War Department and surgeon general’s office toward the issue of commissioned status for the Army’s contract dental surgeons. Surgeon General Torney and Dental Legislation On January 29, 1909, Torney had barely taken his chair as the new Army sur- geon general when Representative John AT Hull, chairman of the House Commit- tee on Military Affairs, sent him a copy of Bulkeley’s bill (S 4432) and requested his views “as to the advisability of the proposed legislation” and for any suggested amendments.1 After speaking with the secretary of war and reviewing O’Reilly’s files on the bill, Torney wrote back on the 30th.

  • Chapter VII, Building the Foundation: the Early Years of Army Dentistry, 1901-1904
    BUILDING THE FOUNDATION : THE EARLY YEARS O F ARMY DENTISTRY Chapter VII BUILDING THE FOUNDATION : THE EARLY YEARS O F ARMY DENTISTRY , 1901–1904 Introduction The carefully selected initial group of contract dental surgeons formed the cor- nerstone for the development of Army dentistry. But until the new dental surgeons actually reached their assigned posts in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and in the United States itself and began to see patients, they could not contribute to the well-being of the soldiers or confirm the wisdom of their service’s creation. The new Army dentists learned through trial and error until they and their supervisors became acclimated to the Army and their new duties and gained the confidence and support of the officers and soldiers they served. John Marshall, the senior supervising and examining contract dental surgeon, carried the principal burden of representing the Army’s new dental service to the surgeon general, the Medical Department, and the American dental community. Across the Pacific Ocean in the Philippines, Robert Todd Oliver, the second highest ranking dental surgeon, had to build a dental service from scratch for American soldiers heavily engaged in the Philippine Insurrection. The eventual success or failure of Marshall and Oliver in these crucial roles and that of the contract dental surgeons in their daily work would largely determine the future of dentistry in the US Army. Dentists in the Philippines The majority of the newly hired contract dental surgeons were to be sent to attend to the more than 60,000 US troops serving in the Philippine Islands.
