Major General Adelbcrt Cronkhite was
born in the state of New York January
5, 1861. Being the son Of an army ON
Ger II was not unnatural that he should
have made the profession OF arms his
own choice. Upon being graduated with
distinction from the United States MIL
itary Academy in 1882. he was assigned
10 the artillery and served continuously
in that branch of the service until the
beginning Of the great war. In March.
1917, he was appointed brigadicr gen
cral in the Regular Army and assigned
10 the important pose OF artillery com
