Hall received the Army Distinguished Service Cross, second to the Medal of Honor, for extraordinary heroism in action at Vierzy, France on July 18, 1918.

His citation read: "At a critical time in the battle, when information was difficult to obtain, Lieutenant Colonel Hall, Brigade Adjutant, volunteered to report on the fighting in Vierzy, which was then in the hands of the enemy.

He assisted materially in maintaining organization among the troops and established a first aid station at which many wounded were cared for, returning later to Brigade Headquarters with valuable information.

From 1937 to 1940, he was Director of Ground Arms, Air Corps Tactical School, Maxwell Field, Alabama.

Hall was designated to lead XI Corps ashore at Shibushi Bay in Operation Downfall, but this was prevented by the Surrender of Japan.

He died on January 26, 1953, in San Antonio, Texas, and was buried in the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.
