John Harold Fox (c.1897-1918)

John Fox was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and probably commuted from his home there while taking the Latin-Scientific course in the class of 1918. He left at the end of his junior year and by late 1917 he had graduated from the Officer Training School at Fort Niagara, New York.

Fox was assigned to the 316th Infantry of the 79th Division and was promoted to first lieutenant in January 1918. He was killed in action in France on September 26, 1918, the same day as his fellow Dickinsonian in the 79th, David Rupp, class of 1916.
