Comments:

Harry G. Robinson, Jr. was born on January 20, 1894, in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Harry G. Robinson and a graduate of Chester High School. He initially tried to enlist in the Naval Reserves but was rejected because officials believed those forces would be absorbed into the Army. He was then accepted into the Army, assigned to the artillery, and later transferred to the engineers, where he received his military training in Washington, D.C.

Harry served in the U.S. Army during World War II as a Private in Company B, 1st Engineer Combat Battalion, 1st Infantry Division. He was Killed in Action on July 20, 1918 and is now buried in Oise-Aisne American Cemetery, Seringes-et- Nesles, France.
