Private, Corporal, and Sergeant Battles or Engagements What battles or engagements was this individual involved in during World War One? Verdun and Meuse-Argonne Death Date June 23, 1956 Place of Death Buried in Arlington National Cemetery Biographical Text Kendall Charles Hickerson, or "Hick" as his friends called him, graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1923. He was one of many World War I veterans who attended VPI after their military service. His ability to attend VPI and study Horticulture was facilitated by the 1918 Smith-Sears Veterans Rehabilitation Act, administrated by the Federal Board of Vocational Education. The Smith-Sears Rehabilitation Act provided vocational rehabilitation and civil employment for veterans with disabilities who had been discharged from the United States military. <div class="text_exposed_show"> In May 1917 Hickerson left his home in Remington, Virginia where he was the local dairyman to enlist, serving in Company K, 116th Infantry, 29th Division during the war, and rose quickly from the rank of Private to Sergeant. On October 20, 1918, during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, as his company was attacking through the Montagne woods near Moleville Farm Hickerson was seriously gassed. From October 20 to Christmas Day Hickerson remained in an Army hospital recovering. Unfortunately Hickerson never recovered fully, spending the rest of his life completely blind in one eye and with impaired vision in the other. While a student at VPI he served as Commander of Disabled Veterans of the World War and opted out of the Corps of Cadets. As Hickerson wrote, he was "willing to volunteer for the past emergency [World War I] and will do likewise if needed in the future. But I am opposed to military training in times of peace." Kendall Hickerson died on June 23, 1956 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. </div> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
