While Pershing was

on assignment, he learned that his wife and

two daughters had died

in a tragic fire.

​

Only his 6 year old son survived.

 

Warren bears his mother's maiden name.

​

When the World War had ended General Pershing called for his son to come

to France and witness what everyone hoped would be the last war that humans would suffer.
