LIEUT.. JOHN VANN,
HERO Of THE WEST
FRONT, IN ARDM0RE

John Nanu, formerly of Columbus,
Ga who has been i'm Ardmorc since
his discharge from the service in Sep.
Guerre last week, awarded i'm recog,
milton Of his service with the French
army in May, 1918. In addition to this
decoration. Mr. Nann also wears a
Distinguished Service Cross with
which he was decorated by General Per
shing. He was also cited for bravery
while under fire and in action.
Mr.. Vann was commissioned second

ing School at Fort Oglcthorpe, Ga, and
sailed overseas with the Attn Infantry,
Fourth Division in May, 1918 when he
saw service with the French army. In
Iume the Fourth Division was trans.
fcrred to the "All American Army, %
whose untried strength was tested and
found POO per cent at the battle Of
Chauteau Thierry.
Lieutenant Nann came through this
he'll of fire unscathcd, but later when
the memorable drive across the Vesle
river was made against the greatest
odds, he was gassed and wounded
twice with machine gun fire. Despite
his wounds he refused to return to the
hospital and with a handful Of men, re-.
tanned his objective through many
hours Of intense enemy fire until re-
Inducements came, It was then that
ne was advanced to the rank Of first
lieutenant and given the Distinguished
Service Cross.
Like the majority OF those mon who
went through the thickcst of the fray
Mr.. Vann is reticent in relating the cx-
periences through which he passed, but
it is one Of the records in the pages Of
history Of the war that the crossing of
the Nesle river was, without question
one Of the most difficult Of the many
undertakings.
The river, from both banks, was a
maze Of barbed wire ENHANCEMENT, ii
lay in direct view Of the enemy, who
was being routed 50 fast, and an added
difficulty was the fact that the ma iority
of the men could not swim. To over.
come the obstacles, those who could
swim made a long running jump, escap.
ing the barbed wire, and those who
could not swim were thrown into the
water and passed from one swimmer to
another until he was alnded safely over
Those who escaped the machine guns
and reached the opposite shore, pre-
scented a most terrible spectacle, flesh
torn, bleeding, blinded, and, in many
instances, their clothing practically in
rags. But they reached their objective
and held it.
Otter being relieved Lieutenant Vann
was taken to the hospital whore he re
mained several weeks. Later he was
transferred to the Inland Water Trans
portation Corps and several months At
Tours and Paris.
Mr.. Vann is now with his brother.in-
law, j. n. Phelan, in the oil business.
