Honorable Major A. W. Woods

[Tom W. Glaser]

I am seeking more information on this man. He was the chaplain of the 3rd Division, and I believe his first name was Arthur. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

it might help you to get hold of this book. Three mentions in index

Thank you for this help. I had seen these documents, and I have had no luck in the database - unless there's a trick to searching besides the name. None of the Woods I could find was a priest.

And thanks for pointing out the book to me. I got the eBook of it, and it does confirm his first name as Arthur, but I am still hoping for birth and death dates, education, pre- and post-war activities, etc.
