Captain Lloyd Williams (</span><span class="_247o"><span>Virginia Tech</span></span><span>, 1907), from Berryville, Virginia, was assigned to command that division's 51st Company in the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines Regiment.</span></p> <div> <div class="_1mf _1mj"><span> </span></div> </div> <div> <div class="_1mf _1mj"><span>As they arrived on the field they found the French in retreat.

In that assault only 1 of the 10 officers and 16 of the 250 enlisted men survived or escaped injury. According to a French Major's report, after he ordered Williams to withdraw, Williams told him to "go to hell." Later, when Williams had been gassed and injured by shrapnel and lay wounded on the battlefield, he told the approaching medics, "Don't bother with me. Take care of my good men." He later died on June 12 from a shell explosion as he was being evacuated.</span></div> </div> <div> <div class="_1mf _1mj"><span> </span></div> </div> <div> <div class="_1mf _1mj"><span>Captain Williams was posthumously promoted to the rank of Major, received three Silver Star citations and a purple heart.

Since then Williams has been remembered by the Marine Corps' 2nd Battalion, 5th Regiment through their adopted motto: "Retreat Hell.
