Claggett Wilson document
First Lieutenant Claggett Wilson, France 1918
Claggett Wilson served in World War One as Brigade HQ chief in the 2nd (Indian Head) Division and later, because he spoke fluent French, as aid-de-camp to Brigadier General Wendell Neville. He was wounded twice and never shook the debilitating effects of mustard gas. He was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, the Croix de Guerre, and ended up with the maple leaf of a Major. His War Paintings (See Town & Country article) were bequeathed to the Smithsonian American Art Museum by Alice H. Rossin.
