Two Brave Marines Honored for Rescue Duty
On February 1 1918 a sudden explosion near Washington destroyed a hangar and killed a petty officer. Privates Will Lawton and Rallymount J Paunip of the Washington Navy Yard rushed with extinguishers to save lives and prevent further loss, earning commendations from General Daniels for their presence of mind in danger. Belvere Gaayton, Norfolk Virginia, joined the naval corps in 1914 and Private Pia later joined the Philadelphia sea service in 1917.
