| | 1ST CL. PVT. ERNEST T. STANTON
Serial No. 2,026,609
131 Jones St., Lansing, Mich.
Inducted at Custer November, 1917. He attended Camouflage School with Sergt. Reddaway at Camp Coetquidan, acting as camouflage man throughout all of our movements while in action. He had the knack of making things look, as our Sophie Glutz says, “What they ain’t.”
At Guer, the night prior to our going forward into the fighting area, he was detailed as guard, and with a number of other members of this guard, he enjoyed a delightful repast in the Hotel De Gare, given us by the kindly French. They gave up the best they had, little as it was, knowing we were going to the lines.
By nature he was impulsive and of a nervous temperament and liable to jump at quick conclusions.
At Pont-a-Mouson he was a member of the Provost Guard.
