Pall Mall, Fentress County, in northern Tennessee, is
noted for being the home of Alvin C. York. York, then
a Sergeant, won world-wide fame on October 8, 1918
when, armed with a Springfield rifle and an automatic
revolver, killed 20 Germans, captured a hill, and com-
pelled the surrender of 132 of the enemy, including a
Major and 3 Lieutenants. He was decorated by six
nations, including the U. S. Medal of Honor and the
French “Croix de Guerre”. In 1942 York was com-
missioned a Major by the U. S. Army.
