Notes for George Earl Hickman: George Earl Hickman known as Uncle Earl by his nieces and nephews served in the fight against the Mexican General Villa, the First and Second World Wars. At the time of Pearl Harbor, he was First Sergeant, Company M21st Infantry, Hawaiian Division. At this time he held the Verdun medal, Purple Heart, Silver Star, Mexican, and First Division medals among others. In a letter to his sister, Rosa (Hickman) Ballengee dated 8 Nov 1915 Uncle Earl wrote: Dear Sister, I received your letter today and the candy you sent me also. Was glad to hear from you and don't see why your letter was returned to you. I got your candy all right and it was good. You said you saw in the paper where there had been a battle here. Well I must tell you so you will not be uneasy about me. I have joined the army and like it all right. I was in that battle you read about and came out without a scratch. Perhaps the papers made it worse than it really was, but it was pretty bad. There were not many U. S. soldiers killed, but lots of Mexicans killed. The battle started Nov 2 at 1:37 P. M. and lasted three days and nights. There was a continuous roar of cannon and small guns all the time. I was scared so bad I didn't know what to do for a little while, but I soon got used to it. I saw hundreds of men and horses killed and some awful close to me, but I guess I was lucky and was never touched. I am in Company H, 18th Infantry. Perhaps you saw in the paper where a shrapnel burst in the H Company's trench and killed some U. S. soldiers. I was in that trench and the man on my right side got killed and fell right by my feet. I was out on the battlefield today and saw about 500 Mexican soldiers piled up in piles of 20 or 30 ready to burn tonight. They never bury their dead. They just pile them up and burn them. There were no U. S. soldiers burned. They were fast sent away and fast buried here. The trouble is all over now and the Mexican army has moved south all that did not get killed. You can do as you please about telling them at home about me being in the army. I don't want to tell them. I am driving an automobile that hauls supplies, but I had to go in the trenches just the same. I like the army fine and I sure saw a sight that would be impossible for me to explain to anyone and am glad that I was in the battle for it was worth seeing. Don't be uneasy about me. If anything happens to me you will know it at once. I wear an aluminum tag around my neck with my name and your name and address on it so if anything happens, they will know who I am and who to notify. There will be no more trouble here so don't be uneasy about me. Gen. Villa got nearly all his men killed so he has gone back to Mexico City. Well I will close for this time. Write me all the news and I will write you just as soon as I hear from you. Your Bro George E. Hickman Co. "H" 18 Inf. Douglas, Ariz. |
