Noel falsified his military records in order to enlist early. He stated his birth date as September 6, 1919, and that is the date on his military grave stone.

A birth certificate for him can not be located, however, there is a birth certificate on file in the Haywood County Court House for an unnamed male child born to William Albert and Mary Elizabeth Clark Hill on 29 Oct 1920 (could this be the correct birth date of Noel Hill?)
