Oct. 23, 1927, Washington, D.C.), Major General in the U.S. Army and a West Point graduate (1881), served in the Geronimo campaign and on the Mexican border patrol before taking part in the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, and the Peking Relief Expedition. He graduated from the Army War College in 1905. During World War I, General Dickman commanded the 3rd Infantry Division, the IV Corps, and the I Corps, before becoming the first commander of the Third Army.
