Wishart) WW1 & WW2 memorabilia (his father served in both World Wars). He is happy to share his and his father's information for your research purposes, if interested. If you are looking for anything in particular, please feel free to contact me. Francis Eli Wishart, 72, retired Brigadier General who had served in two World Wars, died April 21, 1968. As the long-time commander of a National Guard unit here, Wishart was one of the most widely known military men in the area. A native of Robeson County, he attended Oak Ridge Military Academy, joined the infantry in World War I as a private, and was commissioned as a member of the first class to complete Officers Training School at Fort Ogletrorpe, Ga. Between World Wars, "Captain Eli" Commanded Battery B, a Coast Guard Artillery. This National Guard Unit was sent to Trinidad on active duty in World War II. After two years there Wishart, by then a Colonel, served for a year in Europe as an Artillery Officer with the 18th Airborne Corps. In 1946, after 27 years of military service, he retired with the rank of Brigadier General. Gen. Wishart was a Deacon of the First Baptist Church, a past commander of the American Legion Post, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, a Mason (he received his 50-year Mason Pin last fall), and a Sojourner (member of the Masonic Military Order). ____________________________________________________
