Major R. S. Keyser Native of Thoroughfare, Not Front Royal
We wish to correct an error made in The Journal of last week in which we stated that "Major R. S. Keyser, of Front Royal, was recently presented with a distinguished service cross by Major-General Lejuene, commandant of the Marine Corps at Quantico, for bravery in action."
We have since been informed that Major Keyser is the son of Mr. Eugene Keyser, of Thoroughfare, and was born and reared in this county. We learn with pride that so distinguished a soldier is a native of Prince William.
Major Keyser is now the possessor of six medals: A Congressional Service Spanish War medal, an International Sharpshooters' Rifle medal, won in the World War in France, a Loyal Leopold, two French Honor medals, won in battle, and the one recently presented at Quantico.
