F. in France. The notice of this promotion did not reach me until late in June 1919. Since I had been discharged from the service on May 23, 1919, I could not benefit from this promotion. In August 1918, I was recommended and took examination for a commission in the Quartermaster Corps. I was appointed Second Lieutenant, Quartermaster Corps in October 1918, but did not accept the appointment, as I preferred to wait for the commission in the Sanitary Corps. Show less
