A Tribute to Sgt. Henry Gunther

*** begin quote ***

Recall the divisional chieftain who condemned 61 of his men to the grave that morning so that others might bathe — a certain William Mason Wright.

This human gem received promotion to Executive Assistant to the Chief of Staff of the Army after war’s end.

He could claim the distinction, after all, of capturing the final American objective of the war.

A less gaudy distinction fell to a young man under this man’s command that morning of Nov. 11, 1918. We refer here to Sgt. Henry Gunther, aged 23 years, of our former city of Baltimore.

This poor fellow was the last allied fatality of that fateful morning — and of the Great War itself. His time of death:

10:59 a.m.

*** end quote ***

So anytime that a Gooferment politician or bureaucrat expresses concern for the troops, vets, KIA, WIA, or MIA, think of Sgt. Gunther and you’ll know what’s true.

Sadly, true.
