Rives, James Redding.
Biographical notes:
Private James Redding Rives II was a member of the Ambulance Corps with the American Expeditionary Forces to France during World War I. Rives's company left Newport News, Va., for France aboard the USS Siboney and was convoyed part way across the Atlantic by the USS North Carolina. Upon arrival at Biscay Bay, Rives's company was transported to Bordeaux and later moved to Beauval. After a bout with pleurisy, Rives was sent to the front at Verdun. His illness forced him to a Bordeaux hospital, where he remained until after the Armistice was signed.
