We honored Thomas Lee Hall this morning.
Tom was a member of Fort Mill’s National Guard, Co. G. Company G left Fort Mill to join the Old Hickory Division at Camp Sevier in Greenville during October 1917. The men knew they were on their way to World War I’s bloody western front. They departed from New York, NY on May 11, 1918. They landed in Calais, France, on May 24, 1918.
In the next three weeks, Sept. 29 to Oct. 20, the 30th Infantry Division captured 98 German officers and 3,750 enlisted men. Three German officers and 24 men of the division were taken prisoner. The Americans had 44 officers and 1,011 men killed while 113 officers and 4,823 men wounded.
The worst day of the war for the Fort Mill men was Oct. 8,1918, in Monbrehain, France. Company G started the day with 185 men and at the end there were 37 who were not wounded. That was the day Sgt. Tom Hall was killed in action.
Hall’s commanding officer described his actions this way: “Sgt. Hall succeeded in knocking out several hostile machine gun posts.
“On one occasion while advancing his platoon, German machine guns were interfering seriously with the advance of his men. Sgt. Hall discovered the Germans in a nearby shell hold. Not willing to sacrifice his men, he advanced alone and wiped out five German soldiers with his bayonet. Later that day, while advancing on another machine gun post, Hall was mortally wounded by machine gun fire. His skill of leadership and his conduct in the face of danger won the admiration of all ranks.”The Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously and accepted by his father in a special ceremony in Fort Mill’s Confederate Park July 20, 1919. In July 1922, Lee Hall accepted two more awards in honor of his son.
