Learns He Was Cited
For Bravery Only

and 150 casuals and nurses and

port Cedric arrived here yesterday
from Brest.
Captain Herbert W. Hall, of
Battery A, 44 th regiment first
learned that he had been cited for
the distinguished sendee cross when
the vessel docked.
Captain Hall was a lieutenant at
the time of the incident for which
he was cited and was promoted for
gallantry. The citation said that
after another officer had been kill
ed, he assumed full command of a
detail repairing an ammunition
railway near Thiacourt on Septem
ber 27.
"I went out to assist Lieutenant
Plympton, an engineer officer, of
Buffalo, with a volunteer detail of
men." Captain Hall said. "We were
at Dead Man's Corner, near Thia
court, and the shells were falling
fast. One struck twenty yards away
and Plympton and a corporal were
instantly killed. As X could do
nothing for them, I went ahead
with the men and completed the
work."
