David E. Putnam
David ‘Dave’ Endicott Putnam (born January 10, 1898, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, died September 12, 1918 Limey, France) was descended from General Israel Putnam, of Revolutionary War fame. He was to graduate Harvard Class of 1920, but instead went overseas and joined with the French Foreign Legion, and American Air Service. He was known as the “Ace of Aces,” for thirteen confirmed kills, and thirty cumulative unconfirmed. He was shot by ace Georg von Hantelmann in the heart.
==Camp Becket==
Putnam attended Camp Becket-in-the-Berkshires, as a camper from 1914–1916, and counselor in 1917 when he was a Harvard freshman. Swimming was one of his passions and it showed in as he became captain of the Life Saving Crew and Assistant Swimming Instructor. He was also an exceptional tennis player. He was popular among campers and received the 1915 Honor Emblem; 1916 Honor Button, the camp’s highest award. The dividend of Putnam’s character did not diminish as he described in the camp newspaper Seen and Heard as “Modest and unassuming, yet genial and a good mixer, of high moral standard he was without question the most popular boy in the camp.” He flourished as Becket director, Henry W. Gibson affirms that: “The sense of fair play, of consideration for the other fellow, of physical bravery, of moral courage—all of these qualities were given a chance to express themselves in his camp life.”
