Keith Posted December 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 28, 2017 I can't decipher this inscription completely. I believe the name Is Lt. George E. Henwood. The next line is something "field". Next line are four initials...? Army Training Command? Then the date which I take to believe his death since the front of the star says HE GAVE HIS ALL. Anyone able to tell me what this inscription says? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonomachi Posted December 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2017 I don't know if this is the same person but I found a George Fay Henwood who was born on June 8, 1894 and died on October 3, 1918 in Cook County, Missouri. Below is his WW1 draft registration card and something I found on the Internet which states that he attended an Auto Training School in Chicago, Illinois and was from Springfield, Illinois. I wonder if those initials is the name of the Auto Training School and the FIELD is actually SPRINGFIELD. However George Fay Henwood was a private and not a lieutenant so this may be another person.

Keith Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted December 28, 2017 Yes, that is him. A note with it said the relatives thought it belonged to Faye Henwood. So George went by his middle name of Fay. The letters in front of his name that I thought was LT. are Pvt. It still looks like an E to me for the middle initial but must be an F. The obit said he died of the flu so I guess that entitled him to this patriotic piece. I will photo the front of it for viewing. Thanks again the extremely thorough help!
