Lt. Chester H. Cramton '46, former instructor of Military Science, was killed in Korea in late September, the War Department announced yesterday.

Cramton, who was in the R.O.T.C. as a student, is the first member of the Harvard unit to be killed in Korea. He is also the second graduate to be killed there, the first being Dr. Robert M. Moore '43.

After enlisting in the Army in the Spring term of his sophomore year, Cramton served in Europe as a sergeant in the Corps of Engineers. He returned to the College in 1946, joined the R.O.T.C., and graduated in 1948.

After graduation Cramton returned to the Army. Last October and November he taught gunnery in military Science 3 and served as a drill instructor here. He was killed in action in the push, toward Seoul.
