William Penn Duvall
No. 2279. Class of 1869.
Died at Coronado, California, March 1, 1920, aged 73 years.
Major General William Penn Duvall was born on St. George Island, Maryland, January 13, 1847, a son of Colonel Robert E. Duvall, United States Volunteers, Civil War. He entered the Military Academy July 1, 1865 and was graduated, number seven in a class of thirty-nine, on June 15, 1869. Among his classmates were Tillman, J.A. Augur, Arthur S. Hardy, David A. Lyle, Braden and others equally well known to many succeeding generations of cadets. Immediately upon graduation, Duvall was assigned to the 5th Artillery. He remained in this Arm until 1906, when he became Lieutenant Colonel on February 24th. A few days later, March 2nd, he was nominated Brigadier General and on October 2, 1907, Major General. It may be remarked that he was for twenty-nine years a Lieutenant.
His first service was at Fort Adams, Rhode Island, under the great artilleryman, Henry J. Hunt. From Adams he returned in 1872 to the Military Academy as Instructor in Mathematics; during this tour he was also on duty in the Department of Tactics and later as Acting Commissary of Subsistence. From 1879 to 1881, he was in garrison at Atlanta and Fort Monroe and in 1881, he became Professor of Military Science at the Pennsylvania Military Academy at Chester. Here he remained until 1884, when he went on special duty in the Adjutant General's office until 1889. In 1892, he was graduated from the Artillery School at Fort Monroe, where he remained from several years afterwards. During the war with Spain, he was appointed an Inspector General of Volunteers with the rank of Major, serving in the office of the Secretary of War until July 4, 1898, when he became Chief Ordnance officer of the 2nd Corps with the grade of Lieutenant Colonel.
Upon the raising of troops to put down the insurrection in the Philippines he became, first Lieutenant Colonel of the 26th and then Colonel of the 48th Volunteer Infantry. With the 48th he went to the Islands in 1899 and served in the provinces of Union and Benguet until May 1901. In his administration of the native regions under his command, he gave an example of integrity and fair dealing that long survived his return home. In May 1901, he returned to the States, was mustered out of the volunteer service on June 30, 1901 and again took up garrison life. This lasted until August 15, 1903, when he was appointed to the General Staff Corps, which he left December 1, 1905, to become the principal assistant to the Chief of Artillery. On this duty he remained until March 3, 1906, having been, as already said, made a Brigadier General on March 2nd of that year. His first post as a general officer was the Department of the Gulf, April 6, 1906 to February 6, 1907. In 1906, he was on detached service witnessing the fall maneuvers of the German Army, July 30 to October 1, 1906. February 26, 1907, he was again detailed to the General Staff Corps, this time as assistant to the Chief of Staff, a post he occupied until February 17, 1909, when he sailed a second time to the Philippines, but now in chief command. This command he retained until December 28, 1910, when he went on leave in anticipation of his retirement by operation of law, January 13, 1911. He spent the better part of the next two years in traveling both in the Far East and in Europe and returning home in September 1912, took up his residence at Sand Hills, Augusta, Georgia, in October. The World War brought him back to active service, first in command of the southeastern Department, with headquarters at Charleston, South Carolina (August 1917) and next of Camp Joseph E. Johnston, Jacksonville, Florida (September 1918). But his health was now beginning to fail; when his active service again closed he removed to California and died at Coronado, on March 1, 1920, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He was twice married and is survived by his second wife and by a daughter of his first marriage.
General Duvall was a remarkable soldier. He was a soldier in every sense of the word. To him the profession of arms was the first of all professions. With the strictest principles of what we are accustomed to call the old army, he combined the keenest appreciation of all that was good in the development of his chosen profession. And so those that knew him best, while regarding him and justly, as a representative in certain respects of an old school, recognized in him as well the progressive spirit of our more active age. The sketch of his services with which this notice opens, shows him to have had a wide experience of men and things. This experience he tempered, corrected and adjusted by never ending study and application. He was a scholar, not in a narrow and pedantic sense, but in the more generous sense of elder days. Thus he acquired a knowledge of four languages, French, German, Spanish and Italian and in addition was widely read in the literature of his own tongue, both professional and non-professional. But his point of view was ever that of the officer; that he enjoyed his studies for their own sake there can be no doubt, but there is also no doubt that he would not have enjoyed them half so much had he not regarded them as part of the intellectual equipment of the ideal officer. With this high conception, went an equally high conception of what an officer should be physically. Strongly built, of striking military carriage and always irreproachably turned out himself, he could not endure the slightest trace of slovenliness in either officers or men. To be correct in appearance, uniform and bearing was a sure first approach to his approval and consideration. He looked, of course, for other qualities: loyalty, industry and intelligence, for professional spirit and naturally placed these first, but he never really pardoned the lack of smartness. He could not conceive an officer's having the one set of qualities without the other. And these principles of his bore fruit when he commanded the Division of the Philippines. This service formed in some sort the culmination of his life, satisfied the ambition of his heart. For now he had the opportunity, not only as before to set a military example, but the power also to enforce that example. And he did it. Not soon will the officers and men who served under his orders in the Islands forget how he vivified the troops under his command. In obtaining this object, dear to his heart, no point was too small to be considered by him; he felt that in all cases a principle was involved. It may truly be said of him that he maintained the honor and dignity of the service; that he upheld its rights and prerogatives against encroachment; that in all relations he strove to be and was the strong and dignified representative of the military power of the United States in what was essentially a foreign land. He was devoted to the Military Academy and to all that it stands for. To him it was the brightest jewel in the crown of our military glory.
There he was buried and as he was laid to rest, we felt, those of us who had known him, that a strong man had left us, that a type had ceased to exist.
