About Colonel Charles Donald Clay
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/100088083/charles-donald-clay
Captain Charles Donald Clay fought in the Spanish-American War and was seriously wounded in the Philippine Insurrection. He returned to service in 1917 well passed sixty years of age. Too old to fight in World War I he served throughout the war in the Quartermaster Corps, retiring a second time as a Colonel. He had educated his two sons to attend West Point and he insisted that his name sake, Charles D. Clay Jr., remain a cadet at the Academy. The younger Clay collected enough demerits to be expelled, but, alas, the war ended before he could participate.
