HENRY MURRAY WILLIAMS, Ex-'18

Henry Murray Williams, for one year a member of the class of 1918, was killed in action at Vauquois, France, September 26, 1918. He was born June 19, 1896, the son of C. M. and Virginia (Cuming) Williams of St. Louis, Missouri. He prepared for college at the Soldan School in St. Louis, where he won many honors as a track star. He entered. Dartmouth in the fall of 1914, but at the end of his freshman year transferred to the University of Missouri. He was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Williams enlisted May 17, 1917, in the 5th Regiment of the Missouri National Guard and was inducted into the Federal Service on August 4 of that year. He was attached first to the machine guns, 138th Regiment, 35th Division, but in April, 1918, was transferred to the headquarters detachment, 35th Division, Intelligence Section, as a divisional intelligence observer. From July 20 to September 2, 1918, his detachment was in the Gerardmer sector in the Vosges Mountains; .from September 2 to 20 in the advance to and as a reserve to the First Army in the St. Mihiel salient. From September 20 until the day of his death September 26, the detachment was engaged in the advance to and occupation of Vauquois in the battle of the Argonne. His detachment had the very important and dangerous task of keeping well to the front in all actions so as to observe and promptly report, by runners, to the commanding-general of the division all activities of the enemy, in order that he might make the proper disposition of his own troops. On the morning of the 26th of September, Williams had already carried a message to Captain Gunther Meier, in charge of the Intelligence men of the 138 th Infantry, and on returning, he learned that Major Sauerwein and his battalion were lost from communication with the general. He then volunteered to find the major and hold back the infantry. It was on this mission that he was killed — wounded first by machine gun fire and then killed by shrapnel. His body lies buried at Vauquois.
