Research Develops the Fact That While the
Honor Is Usually Accorded Gresham,
EnrigM andHay, Historians Are Con-
viuced That Edward NandeU Stone,
Machine Gunner of the French Foreign
Legion, Mas the First to Die-Killed
lust Sixteen Years Ago This Week.

Massachusetts,. He was o proficient swimmer,
and later he learned to handle a Sailboat. His
great sport was making short cruises along the
rocky New England Coast, often In the cono-
pany of Kenneth Weeks of Boston, also destined
to die fighting for France in the uniform OF the
Foreign Legion.
Stone went to Milton Academy. Milton, Mass,
and Harvard College. He was brilliant stu
dent and easily took his A. B. degree In three
years, with the class Of 1907. About this time
his life was saddened by the tragic death OF his
father who was killed while setting off Fourth
of July fireworks at the Summer home at Mar
blehead. A little later his only brother, sis
ter, and his mother all died.
After two years at the Harvard Law School,
Edward Stone went to Buenos Aires as private
secretary to Charles II. Sheriff., United States
Minister to the Argentine Republic. He decided
to devote himself to a diplomatic career and
went to Paris to perfect his knowledge Of
French.
A UGUST 1914, found Stone enjoying the
easy-going pleasurable life Of pre-war Paris.
When the first call to arms sounded he resolved
to fight for the country which had shown him
hospitality.
stone and his comrades, with thousands Of
other foreign volunteers, marched across Paris
to the Hotel des Invalides, on the morning of
August 81, 1914, and in the vast and imposing
courtyard of the historic building were received
by the French authorities. Then as rapidly as
the men could be passed upon by the army doc
tors, they were received into special march,
ing regiments" of the Foreign Legion and sent
away to training stations. BY the end of Sep
tember two battalions were ready for the front.
The Legionnaires left for the war zone on
September 80, 1914, as part of the I'd March,
ing Regiment of the ID Foreign Regiment.
Edward Stone had trained as a machine gum
ner, and was attached to the 4th Company of G
Battalion He was the only American in his
company.
The first stop In the war zone was at the
Camp de Mailly dismal place, half destroyed
by the Germans who had passed there recently.
Cold, damp and sunless. For two weeks the
Legionnaires marched back and forth across
the monotonous Champagne landscape, through
Scrubby pine woods and sullen fields thrown
with the wreckage and debris of battle.
Stone wrote on October Q. 1914, to his uncle,

say that the French government has no 1nten~
ton Of sending to the firing line without
thorough preliminary training AS a matter OF
fact, we are not far from the front and are well
within hearing of the artillery. The Germans
have been here, and part of the battle Of the
Marne was fought in this neghborhood. There
are relics Of the battle of all sorts; soldiers
graves, French and German rifles and unf~
forms, pieces Of shells, etc. Some Of the vil~
lagos around here have been almost totally
destroyed.
"You will be glad to hear that am per-
fectly WELL and that the life up to the present
time has been doing me good rather than
harm"

New troops were in the lines before
a. them, they knew, and information
must be had. The bombarded sector was
crushed. When the German raiders Wlthdrew
three men lay in the American trenches dead
of rifle and revolver bullets and bayonet wounds.
They were Corp James B. Gresham of Evans
Vile Ind and Prvates Merle d. Hay OF Glid-
den Iowa, and Thomas F. Enright OF Pitts
burgh Pa. They were the first soldiers OF the
United States to die in action In the world
War. Their names and their story are well
known.
But long before their deaths American booo
had been poured into the soil OF France Inc
war had scarcely opened in 1914 when Ameri-
can bows resident in Europe and n en- some
living m America rallied to the tr1color OF
France Many entered the British and Ca
madam services, and it Is likely that some
entered the German army also.
These American citizens were prophetic lore
runners of the million and more OF their
countrymen who were later to go TO France.
They fought and some of them died, long
before their country had entered the war 1t Is
natural, therefore, that although Gresham, Hay
and Enright were the first American soldiers =
killed in combat other Americans died before
them.

believe that the first American citizen TO have
been killed in action in the World War was
Edward Manden Stone of Chicago, whose body

course, no conclusion of this kind may be
regarded as final But much study and re-

publication Of Stones claim to the honor may
bring to light the name Of an American who
even earlier than Stone died in battle in the
World War.
My studies have led to the records Of other
Americans who died very early in the conflict
They indicate that:
The first American aviator killed IN action
was Victor Chapman, shot during an air fight
June %, 1916.
The first American citizen wounded was Edgar
John Bouligny Of New Orleans. He went with
the Foreign Legion early in 1914
The first American soldiers killed by the
enemy in France (not in actual combat) were
victims Of an airplane bomb at a hospital base
at Dannes- -Camiers September 4, 1917 They
were First Lieut. William T. Fitzsmmons,
Medical Reserve Corps, and Privates Rudolph
Rubino jr.; Oscar C. Tugo and Leslie G. Woods.
The first United States oficer wounded was
First Lieut.. Louis J. Genella, who was serving
with the British, July IA, 1917, when struck
by a shell.
The first ofhcer wounded while serving with
an American unit was First Lieut.. DeVere H.
Harden, struck by a shell fragment October %,
1917.
Should further research show prior casualties
to any OF these it will be no less honor 70 them.
And until such further facts are established
their memories deserve to be preserved.
The life of Eddie" Stone as that Of the first
American TO be killed in action, deserves further
notice.
Edward Manden Stone was born in Chicago,
