Episode 151: A Tale of Two Soldiers, Part III


This week, we conclude this tale of two soldiers - of Brigadier General Smith and Lieutenant Colonel Waller - with a court martial, but surprisingly it isn't for war crimes conducted by Smith... at least not initially.


Army Brigadier General Jacob Hurd Smith died on March 1, 1918 at age 78. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Section 3, Grave 1924.


Marine Corps Major General Littleton Waller Tazwell "Tony" Waller died on July 13, 1926 at age 69. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Section 4, Grave 3311.
