when told, referred to it as "the crack
ambulance corps which he had seen at
Fort Benjamin Harrison"
On May Is, 1918, Webster was sent to Eng
land, and two weeks later went to France
as regimental surgeon. He was con-
nected with the 47th infantry, 4th division,
under General Robert Lee Billiard. Let
tiers to his family and letter from ore OF
his men to colonel at Fort Oglethorpe
appears that before the American offensive
in his zone began, Webster looked the
ground over and decided that motor am
balances would not be practicable in such
rough country. Consequently, he organ
lied corps Of push-cart ambulances,
went "over the top with his men, steered
by compass in the dense fog, and found
himself with the work OF handling the
wounded of two regiments, five hours
ahead Of any other surgeons, who, when
they did arrive, had only the supplies that
they carried on their persons.
Here he worked, doing many things out
side Of his regular sphere Of duty. He
ambulances, and, when the push carts
gave out, sent for mules and attached them
to abandoned German wagons. These i'm
provised ambulances he drove himself on
mule back, as he had driven caissons in
the old battery A days. For this work be
received personal commentator from his
brigadier- general. Some days later, while
pushing with his shoulder to the wheel
OF motor ambulance which had got
stuck in the mud, he was instantly killed
by an exploding shell.
Webster is survived by bis wife and
three children-Andrew Gerrish Webster,
born in June, 1914; Margaret Elizabeth
Webster, born in June, 1916; and Dorothy
Lancaster Webster, born after her father
had left for France, in.June, 1918. The
exact date of his death is uncertain. The
official report states that he died October
7, but letter has been received from him
dated October 10.
Hating all sham and pretence, "Bunty"
Webster was a practical, common sense
man. skIlliui surgeon, loyal friend,
and a straight-grained gentleman. The
words OF General Pershing in speaking Of

apply equally well to Webster: 'His was
