More detailed information has
been received here concerning the
injury and decoration Of Walter
Fant, brother Of Mrs. Kurtz P.
Smith, Of this city, which occurred
near Soissons on July 18th. This
Information was brought back to the
United States by Congressman James
Wilson, Of Texas district, who was
a member Of the Congressional party
which visited the battlefelds Of
France during the past few weeks
Walter FAINT was but 81 years Of
age last July. He was graduated at
Kemper Military Academy, Boone
vile, Mo-, and upon graduation was
too young to receive a commission in
the army. He went to Chicago,
where he took his examination and
was commissioned as a lieutenant in
the marines. He went across August
a year ago.
Congressman Wilson, upon his re-
turn to Washington, advised Walter
Fant's relatives Of Walters condition

walter was up and fine the
night l left Paris. Has been given
the highest recommendation for
decoration for distinguished and
most heroic conduct in battle near
Soissons July 10Th"
Speaking to relative Of Walter
Fant's In Washington few days ago
Congressman Wilson said:
'Of course you have heard Of WAL
ter Fant's bravery?" and when he
was Informed that the relative had
not been informed the Congressman
was astounded to think that his
homefolks had heard nothing. Of 1t.
Congressman Wilson said that Wal
ter Fant had done the bravest, most
heroic deed Of the war. He talked
with Walters colonel, and the colo
mel was the proudest and most en-
thusiastic thing about Walter he
ever saw.
"The colonel said the infantry was
being shelled by number OF Ger
man tanks. They put all the tanks
out Of commission but one, and they
could not silence that. The colonel
said Walter was the bravest and
most daring lieutenant he had in the
Sixth Regiment, and for that reason
he selected Walter to take So men
and seize the tank. AS Walter and
the men advanced Sd were killed.
Walter took the other four and kept
going. The colonel was sure they
were killed, but as the tank became
silent the infantry advanced. When
they reached the tank, there in the
tank they found Walter, wounded
and unconscious, and all the Ger
mans were dead with their throats
cut. Walter had killed them ALL" is
the way Congressman Wilson de-
scribed the incident, after talking
with the colonel.
