Norton, Richard, 1872-1918
Richard Norton was an archaeologist and amateur baroque-art scholar. He was the son of Charles Eliot Norton (Harvard art historian). He graduated from Harvard College in 1892. At the outbreak of WWI (fall of 1914) he organized the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps, known also as "Norton's Corps." It later merged with the H.H. Harjes ambulance unit of the French army and in 1917 was absorbed by the U.S. Army with the American entrance into the war. Norton contracted meningitis in 1918 and died almost immediately.
