He quickly rose through the ranks to become a Sergeant. When his unit was fighting over Dead Man's Hill near Verdun during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive between September 26 and 28 he braved constant fire to maintain communication lines throughout the battlefield. An action which earned him a promotion to Captain.</p> <p>The next month John Heath was bedridden in an Army hospital with Spanish Flu. It was there he received word that his wife died in the United States of the same disease and that his sister, Mrs. Carrie Heath Hundall, a Red Cross nurse, was a two days ride away from his Army hospital. John left his hospital, procured a horse, and traveled for two days in the rain to meet his sister whom he had not seen in seven years. Under the care of his sister John recovered from the Spanish Flu and returned to his unit for the last few weeks of the war.</p> </div> Hometown Roanoke, Virginia Birth Date 15 May 1887 Death Date 1 July 1967 Place of Death Roanoke, Virginia Spouse(s) Ann Quarnstrom Heath Retired Rank What military rank did this individual hold upon retirement?
