As Assistant Chief of Staff, G-1, 3d Division, as G-1 of that organization, and later as G-1, 2d Army, Colonel Stone performed with distinction his important duties.
In the action from 5 July to 2 August 1918, near Chateau Thierry, and in the advance to the Ourcq River, he displayed tireless energy and ability of an unusually high order in supplying troops under the most difficult conditions.
