Description
Footnote: John Preston Terrell was born on April 17, 1880 in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. He was appointed a Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point on June 18, 1898, at the age of 18. After four years at West Point, he graduated from the USMA on June 11, 1902, which was followed by his appointment as a Second Lieutenant with the Coast Artillery Corps, Regular Army on June 12th, assigned the service number 01 701. Although he is acknowledged as having been a veteran of the Spanish American War on his grave marker, the documentation does not support this, as he was attending West Point during this period, nor does it mention it on his Department of the Army Official Statement of Service. Terrell was promoted to First Lieutenant with the Coast Artillery Corps, Regular Army on January 25, 1907 and to Captain with the Coast Artillery Corps, Regular Army on April 12, 1911.

As Assistant G-4, and later as G-4, 2d Army Corps, from July 1918 to January 1919, Colonel Terrell displayed exceptional ability in the administration of that division of the Corps staff. During the operations which broke the Hindenburg line between Cambrai and St. Quentin his great energy and able handling of matters of supply and transportation for the organizations of the Corps contributed in a marked degree to the success of the operations. General Orders: War Department, General Orders No. 56 (1922)". He was officially promoted to Colonel with the Coast Artillery Corps, United States Army on November 10, 1918 and accepted on November 14th.
