Service Record

THE 7,59s DARTMOUTH MEN now serving in the armed forces represent better than one-third of the College's 21,000 living alumni. The Alumni Records Office, which comes close to keeping tabs on every single one of these, reports 67 Dartmouth men killed and 11 missing in action. Nine Dartmouth men are prisoners of war, six in the hands of the Germans and three cap- tured by the Japanese.

Alumni of the College are fighting with the Canadian, British, Indian, Chinese, Greek and Norwegian armies, as well as with the American forces, and two former foreign students are known to be in the Germany army, one of them a prisoner of war in Canada. An American citizen alumnus is piloting cargo in China, while several Chinese citizens who attended Dartmouth are fighting with the Chinese forces. One Norwegian graduate, recently reported missing in action, is a flier with the Royal Norwegian Air Force. The Dartmouth man in the Greek Army is an American-born Greek, who left this country to fight for Greece.

There are 231 Dartmouth men who have fought in both World War I and World War 11, and there are 17 "Father and Son in Service" pairs. Among the alumni there is a Major aged 23 and a Lieutenant Colonel aged 24. Dartmouth's ranking Navy officer is Rear Admiral Ernest G. Small '10, its ranking Army officer, Major General W. Stewart Paul '16

The four O'Brien brothers of Dartmouth, Paul '39, Edward '40, Robert '41, and Richard '42, have fought since Pearl Harbor, three with the Navy and one with the Marines. Eddie was on the "Beatty" when she was sunk, but escaped safely; Robert came through the Tarawa Island battle unscathed.
