Hulbert 55kHenry Lewis Hulbert, born in Kingston-upon-Hull, England, 12 January 1867, enlisted in the Marine Corps 28 March 1898. During the Philippine Insurrection, he received the Medal of Honor for an action on Samar 1 April 1899 when he refused to desert disabled comrades in the face of heavy fire. Soon after America entered World War I, Hulbert was appointed a marine gunner with the Fifth Regiment. During the Battle of Chateau Thierry 6 June 1918, despite serious wounds, he directed his platoon in a successful attack and received the Distinguished Service Cross for his heroism. Appointed First Lieutenant for his extraordinary service, Hulbert was killed near Mont Blanc 5 October 1918, and was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. Photo from USMC History Division.Bill Gonyo
