ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TODAY Georgetown’s Edward Peter Nolin became the third Georgetown serviceman to die during World War I. Edward, however, did not die in France, he died right here in New England from something even deadlier than the war.
Edward enlisted in the Navy on September 4, 1918, and was a Fireman, 3rd class, at the Naval Training Station in Newport, RI. Shortly after his arrival, the deadly Spanish Flu struck the Training Station, claiming Edward as one if its many victims. He died at the Newport Naval Hospital on September 23, 1918. Please share to honor his service and sacrifice.
