LIEUTENANT DONALD PARET MIACNUTT '17
Lieutenant Donald Paret MacNutt '17 was killed in action on July 16, 1918, at St. Agnan, the first day of the second battle of the Marne. Lieutenant MacNutt had been leading a patrol of volunteers, trying to learn the exact location of the German machine gun positions, and while returning to his own lines about four o'clock in the morning was caught in front of the barbed wire with heavy machine gun fire and seriously wounded in the abdomen. He was carried in by his own men, who risked their lives to save his; he was immediately taken to a dressing station, thence to a hospital, but died before reaching it.
Lieutenant MacNutt was born in Rumford, Maine, March 21, 1896, the only child of Charles and Marie (Paret) MacNutt. He prepared for college in the Berlin, N. H., High School and entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1913. During his sophomore year his parents removed to Stroudsburg, Penn., where they now reside. Lieutenant MacNutt enlisted May 15, 1917, at Philadelphia and was sent to the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Niagara where he received his commission as second lieutenant on August IS. He was then sent to Camp Meade, Camp McClellan, and Camp Hancock. He was promoted to a first lieutenancy May 1, 1918, and went overseas on May 3 with Company A, 109th Infantry, 28th Division. His company was very soon put into the front line, and in the engagement that followed on the day after Lieutenant MacNutt's death, the whole company, practically, was wiped out.
CAPTAIN ARTHUR STEELE DASCOMB '97
Captain Arthur Steele Dascomb '97 died at Fort Bliss, Texas, August 20, 1918, after an operation for appendicitis. An account of his life and military activities will be found on page 149 of the January number of the MAGAZINE.
LIEUTENANT CHARLES PATRICK ANDERSON '19
Lieutenant Charles Patrick Anderson '19 was killed in action near Conflans, west of Metz, on the afternoon of September- 16, 1918. He with seven other aviators in four machines —French Brequets—had flown from Amanty near Gondrecour to bomb Conflans. On approaching the objective, they sighted a squadron of twenty-four German scout planes who attacked them just after they had dropped their bombs. A simultaneous broad-side from two German machines struck the machine in which Lieutenant Anderson and his companion were flying and their plane burst into flames. Death must have been instantaneous.
Lieutenant Anderson was born in Oak Park, Illinois', April 20, 1896, the son of the Reverend Charles P. and Janet (Glass) Anderson. His father is the Episcopal Bishop of Chicago. Lieutenant Anderson prepared for college at the Howe School and entered the University of Illinois in the fall of 1914. Two years later he transferred to the sophomore class at Dartmouth. In college he was a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. In May, 1917, he went to France in the Ambulance Service, later transferring to the American Air Service and rising to the rank of first lieutenant. He was a member of the 96th Aero Squadron of the First American Army and was attached to the "First Day Bombardment Movement." This squadron was the first American bombing squadron to go into action at the front, and Lieutenant Anderson was one of the original men of that squadron, all but two of whom were eventually killed. He had received his first training at Issoudun and his bombing training at Clermont-Ferrand; he had had four months of continuous and valuable service at the front before his death.
LIEUTENANT ROBERT GREENLEAF DURGIN '13
Lieutenant Robert Greenleaf Durgin '13 died October 4, 1918, of influenza and pneumonia while en route to France, and was buried at sea the same day. Lieutenant Durgin enlisted in the Coast Artillery Corps at Exeter, June 2, 1917. He went to Fort Stark on July 25 and later to Fort Constitution. January 5, 1918, he was sent to the third Officers' Training Camp at Fortress Monroe, Va., where he received his commission as second lieutenant on March 22. He then returned to Fort Constitution where he remained until September 19, when he left for Camp Mills to sail for France on September 23. He had been assigned since January to Battery B, 73d Regiment C. A. C.
Lieutenant Durgin was born in Attleboro, Mass., June 27, 1890, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Durgin. He came to college from Newmarket, New Hampshire, having made his Preparation at the Newmarket High School and Phillips Exeter Academy.
CORPORAL AUSTIN BROWN NOBLE '13
Corporal Austin Brown Noble '13, died in France on January 5, 1919, of tubercular peritonitis and pulmonary tuberculosis. Corporal Noble enlisted under the draft October 2, 1917, and was sent to Camp Devens, where he was assigned to Battery D of the 302nd Field Artillery. He was soon promoted to corporal and went overseas in July, 1918. His company saw active service on the Metz-Verdun front for the ten days prior to the signing of the armistice, and underwent great hardships. It is probable that his exposure at that time in the mud and wet led to the disease that caused his death.
Corporal Noble was born in Bethel, Vt., January 5, 1891, the second son of Robert and Ida (Brown) Noble. He prepared for college at the Whitcomb High School in Bethel and entered college in the fall of 1909. Since his graduation from Dartmouth, he has been engaged in teaching. He is survived by his parents; his elder brother John Noble, also of the class of 1913 at Dartmouth; and a younger brother, Robert S. Noble '14, now an instructor at Goddard Seminary. His youngest brother, Philip D. Noble, died at Camp Devens last September of influenza.
