Joseph Welch Emery, Jr. f Joe,'l Born January 12, 1.896-Died July 18, 1918. OE came out of Quincy, Illinois, and entered Dartmouth after having prepared at the high school in his home town. It is extremely easy to recall his gaunt frame and fighting face as he tore down the football field when covering a punt. Most of us remember him as a fighter of the first water whether it was on the football team or whether he was found in the thick of some Class scrap. For two years he was vice president of our Class which served as only an inadequate compliment to his natural inspirationlas a leader. True to type, Joe was one of the very first to leave the campus and volunteer for service after war had been declared. He en- listed-at Plattsburg on the 15th of May, and was commissioned as Second Lieutenant on the 15th of August. Again the lighting instinct which had won admiration carried him to the Regular Army where he was certain to see immediate and active service. On the 6th of September, 1917, he sailed for France with the 9th Infantry after having joined that regiment at Syracuse, New York. After landing at St. Nazaire he was sent to school at Sommercourt and later to Gondrecourt for special training in signal work. Then on the 19th of March, 1918, the 9th Infantry left for the Front, and Joe was with it. He saw plenty of action up to the middle of July when the 1st and 2nd Divisions were ordered to join the 1oth Army under the command of General Mangin in the region of Bois de Retz. Early in the morning of July 18th the artillery started to lay its barrage before the 9th Infantry near the town of Vierzy in the Soissons Offensive. At 4: 40 a.m. the 2nd Division went over the top with Joe Emery in command of Company C of the 9th-a post to which he had just been assigned. .A machine gun bullet killed him instantly in the middle of the attack, and a French artillery officer buried him where he lay. After the Armistice, however, he was re-buried in the American Cemetery at Vierzy.
