☆ Lieutenant McCormick was accidentally killed by the explosion of a sack of hand grenades which he was carrying during a maneuver of the grenade class of the First Corps School. He was the first man of our regiment to be killed in France. His unselfish devotion to, and the love for his men during the hard winter months of 1917 and 1918 proved his true worth as an officer. ☆ From the book The Price of our Heritage. In Memory of the Heroic Dead of the 168th Infantry
