McCormick Jr. Gives Life on the Fields of France. THE HERO ROLL Two Chicago Aviators and an Infantryman Who Gave Lives for Nation. Twenty-six Chicagoans were named in the official casualties yesterday, fourteen in the early list and twelve in the night list. Several casualties not yet officially announced were reported by relatives to THE TRIBUNE, among them the death of Lieut. Alexander A. McCormick Jr., son of the Chicago alderman. He was a member of the United States naval aviation corps and was killed in action in France. Notification was received by Mr. McCormick yesterday. "If it had to come I am glad that he died on the fighting line," he said. "In his last letter he expressed his joy and happiness in getting to the front." Two Flights Across Alps. Lieut. McCormick was 20 years old and one of the youngest flyers in the service. He was attending Yale when the United States entered the war. He immediately enlisted. Before going to France last July he was an instructor at Pensacola, Fla. He had made two record flights across the Alps from Italy to France. His parents live at 5816 Blackstone avenue. Another unofficial casualty was that of Lieut. J. Lawrence McKeever II., killed while flying at Love field, Dallas, Tex. He was a son of R. T. McKeever, 322 Belden avenue, of Hornblower & Weeks, brokers at 37 South La Salle street. He was instructing a student officer when the latter lost control of the plane. The student also was killed. Lieut. McKeever was a second cousin by marriage of Ralph Pulitzer, and was formerly with the New York World. "Tribune" Man Injured. Capt. Harold B. Sherwood, a former employe of the display advertising department of THE TRIBUNE, has been injured, according to a letter received from him yesterday. He did not state the nature of his injury or how it was received, apparently being under the impression that notification had already been received here. "I am writing this letter with two of the fingers of my left hand," he wrote, "just to show you I am not in a serious condition. I will be in the hospital about six weeks." Capt. Sherwood is with the Four Hundred and Sixteenth signal corps, railway battalion. He departed for France last March. His mother, Mrs. Jennie R. Sherwood, lives at 1520 Sunnyside avenue. Killed on Somme. Corporal Elmer L. Rindslish, Company E. One Hundred and Thirty-first infantry, was killed in action on the Somme Aug. 10, his parents were notified yesterday. He was formerly with the American Radiator company and lived at 7345 Clayton Court. He enlisted in April of 1917. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Martin, 6032 Blackstone avenue, were notified that their son, Private Kenneth P. Martin, Battery A, One Hundred and Fortyninth Field artillery, had been missing in action since Aug. 12. Private Walter R. Kendall, Company G. Twenty-sixth infantry, died from wounds, according to a war department telegram received yesterday. He has a brother, Sergt. C.D. Kendall, with Company D, Sixtieth infantry. Lieut. Harry Rutishauser, headquarters company, One Hundred and Thirty-second infantry, was wounded severely, his wife was informed last night in a war department telegram. She lives at 4626 West Madison street. In the official casualty list of last night two more members of Col. Joseph B. Sanborn's One Hundred and Thirty-first infantry were mentioned as wounded severely -- Corporal James P. Foley of 510 West Forty-fifth place and Private Christopher C. Dunne of 5487 Kenwood avenue. The names of all Chicagoans officially announced will be found in the lists. |
