Word has been received of the death of Captain William Wright Walcott, M.D.'05, regimental surgeon of the 101st Engineers in France.

He was at the battles of Chateau Thierry, Chemin des Dames, St. Mihiel, and Verdun being in the last named sector for six weeks. Last summer Walcott was wounded by a shell fragment and severely gassed, and it is believed his death may have been the result of these injuries.
