On April 20, retired Brig. Gen. Duncan Hallock, a distinguished engineer officer, passed away. He was 101. Hallock's illustrious career began in 1929 with an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1933 and eventually served as the assistant district engineer in Rock Island, Ill. In 1937, he became the company officer in the 11th Engineer Regiment in the Panama Canal Zone. At the end of the Second World War, Hallock was promoted to the rank of colonel and assigned to the Research & Development Division of the Army General Staff. He would go on to become the chief of the Research & Development Division of the Office of the Chief of Engineers. In 1958, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and assigned to Eighth U.S. Army in Seoul, South Korea. Hallock retired in 1963 as the engineer for the U.S. Army Pacific at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, having served his country for 34 years. Seen here: Brig. Gen.

The headquarters building of the American Red Cross, located at 430 17th Street, NW, in Washington, D.C., is an impressive classical structure. Now designated a National Historic Landmark, it was designed by architects Breck Trowbridge and Goodhue Livingston. The interior contains a number of notable features, including sculptural artwork and three large Tiffany stained glass windows in what is now the Board of Governors Hall. Though this building is well known, it is less known that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was in charge of its construction and that the building was conceived as a memorial to the women of the Civil War.
