Robert L. Collins of the adjutant-general's department, formerly a cavalry officer, and a Massachusetts boy, who served in the Spanish-American war in the 6th Massachusetts. His first military experience was in the medical department of that regiment in which he took part in the Cuban and Puerto Rican campaigns. He was born in Lancaster, New Hampshire, in 1879. Yielding to the patriotic impulse that swept the youth of the land in 1898 he went out with the 6th regiment, and in February 1901 was commissioned a second lieutenant of cavalry. He served the 2nd and 8th United States cavalry regiments and has had two tours of duty in the Philippine Islands. In France he was assistant chief of staff G-2 of the 33rd, the Illinois guard division, which was a component of the 4th British army in the battle of the Somme, and subsequently of the 1st American army in the San Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Later he was assistant chief of staff G-2 of the 37th Ohio National Guard division, which served in Belgium, later was assistant chief of staff G-3 and still later chief of staff of the tank corps. Col. Collins is a distinguished graduate of the command and general staff schools of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and a graduate of the Army War College. His decorations include the United States Distinguished Service Medal, a Silver Star citation, and the French Croix de Guerre. He also is an officer of the Order of the Black Star of the French army. His name is on the general staff corps eligible list. His present tour of duty at the corps area headquarters dated from last October, when he came here from duty in the war department at Washington." iv.
