St. George's School is a private, Episcopal, coeducational boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, United States, just east of the city of Newport, on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The school was founded in 1896 by the Rev. John Byron Diman. The Memorial Schoolhouse, completed in 1923 was designed by the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White; the classroom building was designed to serve as a lasting monument honoring those alumni and faculty who died in World War I. From this school alone two hundred and eighty-nine former boys, or eighty per cent of the total body of alumni, were in some form of national war service. One hundred and fourty-four went overseas. Those who died were: Gardner Henry Fuller, Harold Chandler Kimball, Ronald Wood Hoskier, Henry Brewster Palmer, William Smith Ely, Richard Cutts Fairfield, Caldwell Colt Robinson, Wells Bradley Cumings, Tolman Douglas Wheeler, Philip Newbold Rhinelander, William Boulton Dixon, Marquand Ward, Alexander Rodgers, Jr., Edward Barry Wall, Galbraith Ward, and Norman Jesse Merrill. The War Records of other alumni are included. In the winter of 1914 and the early months of 1915, St. George's School formed a battalion of Infantry, and was thus one of the first private Boarding Schools to see the wisdom of preparing in earnest for the great conflict. The cadets were given their first instruction by Lieutenant C. A. Phelan, U.S. Army, a graduate of West Point. The Battalion was not disbanded until the middle of 1919. Perhaps the most famous of the WWI alumni was Edward Peck "Ted" Curtis (1897-1987) was a World War I flying ace with six aerial victories. Between the world wars, he served as vice president of Eastman Kodak's international division. In World War II he served as the Chief of Staff, U. S. Strategic Air Force in Europe earning the rank of major general. As Special Assistant to President Eisenhower for Aviation Facilities Planning, he earned the 1957 Robert J. Collier Trophy. C, M. P.
