From Wikipedia: "Eric Fisher Wood, Sr. (1889 1962) was an American civil engineer, architect, author, and officer in the United States Army, retiring with the rank of Brigadier General. Wood is best remembered as one of the key founders of the American Legion veterans' organization in 1919. Eric Fisher Wood was born in New York City in 1889. As a boy Wood was educated in private schools. He later enrolled at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, from which he graduated with degrees in Economics, English, and a PhD degree in civil engineering. Wood did additional post-graduate course work studying architecture at Columbia University in New York City, as well as the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. At the time of the eruption of World War I, Wood was an American in Paris. Wood volunteered his services at the American Embassy in France as an attache, joining the Embassy staff to help handle the greatly increased workload that was associated with the war. Later Wood would join the American Ambulance Corps, serving in that capacity for a few months. Wood maintained a journal during his time in Europe which he published in book form in 1915 as The Note-book of an Attache: Seven Months in the War Zone. Wood subsequently returned to the United States, where he became Vice-President of the National Security League, an organization dedicated to fostering so-called "military preparedness" in the face of the vast and spreading European War. Wood was also involved from a year from 1915 to 1916 as part of the Plattsburgh Training Camp Executive Committee. He found time to publish a second book during this interval dealing with the topic of military preparedness, The Writing on the Wall. In 1917 Wood returned to Europe, where he served in the British Army with the rank of Major. In this capacity he was wounded at Arras on April 9, 1917. Follow American entry into the war in 1917, Wood was commissioned as a Major in the U.S. Army on August 14, 1917 and served as assistant chief of staff for the 88th Infantry Division. Wood was wounded again, this time by poison gas during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive that same fall. By the end of the hostilities in November 1918 Wood had risen to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. On February 15, 1919, Wood was ordered by Gen. John J. Pershing to join with 19 of his fellows in a special committee headed by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. given the task of providing a set of recommendations aimed at curbing the serious problem of declining morale. A series of proposals resulted from the day-long session, including elimination of restrictive regulations, organization of additional athletic events and recreational opportunities, and the expansion of leave time and entertainment programs. Lt. Col. Roosevelt had an additional purpose unbeknownst to Wood, however, and in the evening the group retired to an Allied Officers Club, where the eldest son of the former President unveiled his proposal for a new veterans' society a group which would ultimately emerge as the American Legion. A provisional executive committee of four people emerged from the February 15 "Roosevelt dinner", headed by Roosevelt himself, who was to return to the United States and obtain his military discharge when able, and then to gather assistants and promote the idea of the new veterans' organization among demobilized troops there. Roosevelt's close associate in the project George A. White, who was to travel France touring the camps of the AEF explaining the idea in person. The European center of operations was to be manned by Wood, togeth.
