For wounds received 25 years ago in World War I, Captain Leland B. Henry, instructor at the Chaplain School, was awarded the decoration of the Purple Heart at ceremonies conducted yesterday afternoon.
Presided over by Major Sherman Myles and honored by Lt. Col Conner. Major Clifford J. Heflin, Captain George Barker of the Navy, and Commander C.A. MacGowan, the ceremony began at 2:30 o'clock with a parade onto Andover Field. Led by the National Colors and the Coast Artillery Band, the new Student Chaplains, although lacking thorough drill in marching, reflected much credit on their superiors by their snappy performance in executing commands.
Adjutant Reads Citation
At the conclusion of the National Anthem, Major Casey, Adjutant of the Chaplain School, read the order authorizing the citation, which in part is as follows:
"March 10, 1943--The Commanding General, Services of Supply, directs that a Purple Heart, engraved with the name of the recipient, be issued to Lt. Leland B. Henry, Chaplain ORC, Chaplain School, Harvard University, Cambridge, on account of a wound received in action October 11, 1918, while serving as a sergeant, Headquarters Company, 39th Infantry--" J.S. Richards, Adjutant General, Services of Supply, War Department, Washington, D.C.
Wounded In Action
Chaplain Henry was serving as Sergeant of the Regimental Intelligence Section, operating in the Bois de Foret in the Argonne at the time he suffered the wound. He was just recently promoted to Captain.
After General Miles pinned the decoration on Captain Henry, the entire military personnel passed in review before Henry and other guests, including Dean Sperry, Dean Buck, Dean Chase, and Jerome D. Greene.
