Death Certificate for Merian C. Cooper
Record Group 342: Records of U.S. Air Force Commands, Activities, and Organizations Series: Official Military Personnel Files File Unit: Official Military Personnel File of Cooper, Merian C.
This death certificate was signed by General Pershing and sent to Merian C. Cooper's family after he and his gunner were shot down behind enemy lines. The Army had believed them killed, though they were actually captured by the Germans and taken to a series of Prisoner of war (POW) camps. Cooper's father received a letter from Merian around the time the certificate arrived. Merian C. Cooper sent this copy back to the Army with the notation on top "In the language of Mark Twain Your death has been greatly exaggerated."
(handwritten at the top) In the language of Mark Twain UNITED STATES ARMY IN MEMORY OF Merian C. Cooper, 1st Lieutenant In Service Signal Corps who was killed in battle September 26th, 1918: he bravely laid down his life for the cause of his country his name will ever remain fresh in the hearts of his friends and comrades. The record of his honorable service will be preserved in the archives of the American Expeditionary Forces. John J. Pershing Commander-in-chief
