Drum, Hugh Aloysius

    0.01 sec.

Drum, Hugh Aloysius (1879–1951)

US soldier. After fighting in the Philippines, he was chief of staff of the American First Army in World War I. He commanded home front units until his retirement in 1943, when he became president of the Empire State Corporation.

He was born in Fort Brady, Michigan. He obtained a commission in 1898 in memory of his father, one of the few officers killed in action during the Spanish-American War. A new style manager/soldier, he excelled in staff and administrative assignments, but was passed over for army chief of staff in 1939 in favour of George C Marshall.
