THE DYING SOLDIER, As he looked after completing the last pages of his Personal Memoirs. The steadfastness of purpose with which this great task was pursued, added another to the long list of victories won. The physical and mental endurance exhibited were unparalleled, and only possible to a man who, for years, had almost absolute control of both mind and body. [U.S. Inst. Photo Co. cabinet card]
