S.L.A. Marshall
S.L.A. Marshall (full name, Samuel Lyman Atwood Marshall) (July 18, 1900 – December 17, 1977) was a chief U.S. Army combat historian during World War II and the Korean War. He authored some 30 books about warfare, including ''Pork Chop Hill: The American Fighting Man in Action,'' which was made into a film of the same name.
==Early life and start of military career==
Marshall was born in Catskill, New York and raised in Colorado, California and El Paso, Texas. He joined the Army in 1917 and saw service on the border with Mexico during the Pancho Villa Expedition before serving in France during World War I. He attained the rank of sergeant while serving as a member of Company A, 315th Engineer Regiment, 90th Infantry Division. The 315th Engineers participated in the Saint-Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne Offensives.〔United States War Department, (Battle Participation of Organizations of the American Expeditionary Forces ), 1930, page 37〕
Shortly after Saint-Mihiel, Marshall was one of the soldiers in his unit selected to take the entrance examinations for the United States Military Academy as part of an Army initiative to replenish the officer corps with exceptional soldiers from the ranks. (Under this program, Captain Harry S. Truman nominated a member of his battery, John Francis Uncles. Uncles retired as a lieutenant general.)〔National Guard Association of the United States, (The National Guardsman ), Volume 21, 1967, page 38〕 Marshall subsequently attended Officer Candidate School, received his commission in early 1919, and remained in France to assist with post-war demobilization.〔John Douglas Marshall, (Reconciliation Road: A Family Odyssey ), 2000, pages 50-57〕
