The Life of BENJAMIN RICE LACY

CHAPLAIN BENJAMIN R. LACY, 113th Field Artillery.

        During the operations near THIACOURT, 14th September, 1918, where several men of Batteries B and C were wounded, this chaplain rendered first aid to the wounded under intense shell-fire. Again, on 26th September, in the BOIS DU AVOCOURT, where the gun positions were subjected to heavy shell-fire and one man was killed and others wounded, he immediately rendered first aid to the wounded, disregarding his own safety. On numerous occasions he set an excellent example to the officers and men of his regiment by his presence in the most forward positions and looking after the sick and wounded.
