Was General Drum's widow's first name "Mark", as you say?
Come on! The gravestone photo has name and dates of birth and death, as well as military affiliation. That seems like a valid reference to me...

There are serious problems with his date of rank listing. Regular Army is the peacetime army. It's size is limited by law. National Army was a separate army set up for the duration of World War I, so it's ranks can be considered temporary, only for the duration of the war.
An officer can hold a permanent rank in the Regular Army, and a temporary rank in the National Army at the same time. But this chart says his permanent rank was bouncing up and down and this obviously is some sort of an error. You only go upwards. The temporary rank can go away, and you revert to your permanent rank, but that permanent rank only goes up, never down.
They would kick you out rather than demote you unless you were imprisoned due to a serious crime (resulting in a court martial) which he was not, so that chart needs to be investigated and fixed. Jimindc ( talk) 20:14, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
