[2518] Was charter member of the American Legion in Troy. Newspaper
clips: "Charles Stanton in English Hospital - In a letter from
one of the Bradford county boys it is learned that Charles
Stanton of Troy again went 'over the top' on Oct. 16th and on
the 17th he was wounded. His injuries are to the left leg. He
was in an English convalescent hospital when the letter
referred to was written on Oct. 22d." "Corporal Charles
Stanton of Troy, Pa., who will be decorated Saturday at New
York City by the Prince of Wales with the British Military
Medal. He was a member of Company L and has been awarded the
Distinguished service Cross by the United States Government.
TOWANDA DAILY REVIEW: TROY SOLDIER GIVEN D.S.C. FOR HEROISM IN
SOUPLET BATTLE Another bradford county boy - Corporal Charles
Stanton, Jr. of 180 Elmira Street, Troy - has been awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in
battle. Awarding of the cross to the young Troy soldier is the
second to be conferred by the commander-in-chief, in the name
of the President, for especially heroic actions in battle of
county soldiers. Award of the cross to Corporal Stanton came as
the result of his bravery in the hot engagement at Souplet,
France, during the fighting on October 15, 1918. The official
citation is as follows: "Corporal Charles Stanton, Jr., A.S.,
1215748. Company L, 108th Infantry. For extrordinary heroism
in action near Souplet, France, on October 15, 1918.
Accompained by an officer and three other soldiers, Corporal
Stanton made a reconnaissance of the River La Selle, the
journey being made under constant and heavy machine-gun fire.
To secure the desired information it was necessary to wade the
entire distance. Home address, Charles Stanton, Sr., Troy,
Pa." Nothing was known at the young man's home of the signal
honor accorded him until the news was communicated to Mrs.
Stanton by a representative of the The Daily Review. "It's
news to me," was Mrs. Stanton's single glad expression when
told of the honor paid her son. Corporal Stanton was born in
Troy borough on April 24, 1900, so that his heroic feat was
made when he was only 18 years old. He attended the Troy High
School and during his vacations worked on the farm of his
grandfather, Walter Rockwell, near Troy. In the Fall of 1916
the young man went to Troy where he was employed by H. E.
Ritchie in a grocery store. He enlisted in Company L, Third
Infantry, New York National Guard on April 8, 1917, this being
Elmira's own company. After being sent to Spartanburg the
National guard became a past organization and the young man was
enrolled in Federal service, the company changing to Company L,
108th United States Infantry, and being attached to the 27th
Division. UNDER FIRE AT RAILROAD In May the company was sent to
Binghamton for railroad guard duty and it was there that
Private Stanton was first under fire. With a comrade he was
guarding one of the important bridges near that city when he
and his comrade was fired on by an unknown assailant riding a
passing frieght train. The soldiers returned the fire but
failed to register any hits. The attack upon Stanton was made
at 8:30 o'clock. Two shots were fired at him, both coming
close to his body. The Troy soldier displayed his pluck and
courage by cooly standing his ground and firing three shots in
return at the assailant. The train was going so fast that it
was impossible to tell whether any took effect. The attack
upon Stanton was made in almost exactly the same spot where
Private Frank W. Fonda, also of Company L, was struck and
instantly killed by a Lackawanna passenger train several weeks
previous. This attack occured on the night of May 14. On
August 16 the company was transferred to Pelham Bay Park, N.Y.
Later they were sent to Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. C.,
where Stanton received his first promotion, being made a first
class private. While the men were stationed at this camp they
received much rifle and trench practice. First Class Private
Stanton returned to his home last April for ten days and soon
after his return to camp the company was sent to Newport News
to await transport to France. They embarked on May 17, 1918
under cover of darkness and moved from the harbor without the
slightest sound. IS MADE CORPORAL After reaching France young
Stanton was promoted to Corporal. The company was soon sent
into Belgium where they fought for several months with the
British army in Flanders. Later they participated with honor
in the battles of St. Quentin and Cambrai. Company L was in the
first wave at the strongest point of the line in the battle of
September 27-30, which resulted in the breaking of the vaunted
unbreakable "Hindenberg Line," marking the final defeat of the
Hun. In letters received by his parents Corporal Stanton
declared that he came out of the desperate battle without a
scratch.On October 17 he received his first wound, a bullet in
the left leg. A few minutes later received another in the
back, neither of which, however, proved to be serious as he
returned to his company on November 8. The last letter
received, dated December 18, stated that he and his company was
billeted in Laige, a small French town near La Mans. The young
man is attached to the Empire Division which is the first
complete combat division ordered home, and his parents are
expecting his return within the next several weeks. Stanton's
company - Company L- according to a statement of Corporal
Wilbur L. Simcoe telling of the "warm reception" given the
Elmira unit when it was ordered over the top on September 29,
had only ten men left alive and unwounded. Two hundred and
fifty men had started in the attack. It was Stanton's company
which was signally honored by passing in inspection parade
before His Majesty King George of England on August 6. The
inspection was made on one of the drill grounds of France.
Company L being selected as the prize company of the entire
division. Captain Riffle commanded the men in this drill.
Company L also was selected to represent the 27th Division in a
big military parade in France. One company from each division
was thus honored.
