- Q7411217 abstract "Samuel Davis Sturgis, Jr. (July 16, 1897 - July 5, 1964) was an American soldier. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota and came from a military family. Both his father, Samuel D. Sturgis, and grandfather, also named Samuel D. Sturgis, were West Point graduates and major generals. Sturgis graduated from West Point in 1918. As a junior engineer officer he taught mathematics at the academy for four years. In 1926, he was ordered to the Philippines, where he served as Adjutant of the 14th Engineers. His strategical studies of the islands over a three-year period developed knowledge he used later when he returned to the Philippines in 1944 as Chief Engineer of General Walter Krueger's Sixth U.S. Army. Sturgis commanded a mounted engineer company at Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1929-1933 and encouraged the adoption of heavy mechanical equipment. He was district engineer in 1939-1942 for Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he worked on flood control and a large military construction program. He served as chief engineer of the Sixth Army in 1943-1946.During World War II, Sturgis' engineer troops built roads, airfields, ports, and bases from New Guinea to the Philippines.
