He received a bachelor's of science degree from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and served as captain and troop commander on the Capeneddick during World War II.</li> </ul> Biographical Text Samouce was born on February 1899 in Poltava, Russia (now Ukraine) to John Samouce and Anna Ivanovna Perhorovna-Zhikorvitskaya Samouce. In 1907 the Samouce Family, convinced that hard times were ahead in Russia, emigrated to Montreal, Canada and then emigrated again in 1917 to Lynchburg, Virginia. It was there, after the United States entered the war, that young George Samouce (who spoke both Russian and English) entered the Virginia National Guard as a Private. Once integrated into the National Army, the Virginia National Guard became the 116th Infantry within the US 29th Division. <div class="text_exposed_show"> With the 116th George Samouce participated in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and witnessed intense fighting at Molleville Farm, the Bois D’Ormond, and Grand Montagne. It was at Grand Montagne that he was hospitalized for shell shock on 15 October 1918 where he remained until 10 November 1918. Despite not being an American citizen, George Samouce served, fought, and was wounded in the service of his adopted country. In May 1918 the United States Congress passed legislation that waived all naturalization requirements for soldiers who were serving in the wartime army. As long as the soldiers received honorable discharges at the end of the war, non-citizen soldiers could gain immediate citizenship. Nearly 280,000 men took advantage of this opportunity to become American citizens. It is likely that George Samouce became an American citizen through this legislation. When war ended George Samouce returned to Virginia and enrolled at Virginia Polytechnic Institute where he majored in Horticulture and graduated in 1924. In the years after graduation Samouce returned to the US Army and served for more than two additional decades. During World War II he served as a captain and troop commander in the Pacific Theater and retired from the Army in 1945 at the rank of Major. George Samouce died in Macon, Georgia in 1986 at the age of 87. </div> Death Date 6 July 1986 Place of Death Macon County, Georgia Retired Rank What military rank did this individual hold upon retirement?
