Shortly after the United States entered World War I, he sought an appointment to the office of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) and received it; on July 15, 1918, at the age of 38, he reported for duty in Washington, D.C. In October of that year he was made chief of the Death and Dismissal section of the JAG office. Early in 1919 he was sent to France to work in the office of the JAG for the American Expeditionary Force. He worked in France from February 7 until July 31, 1919, when he returned to Washington, D.C. There he reported for duty on August 15 and was once again assigned as chief of the Death and Dismissal section of the JAG office, where he remained until his discharge in March of 1920. He started his military service as a Major and rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel, receiving the latter rank in September 1919. After his discharge from the Army, he returned to private law practice at his office on 1-3 Barristers Row in Staunton, Virginia. Cochran was born on April 30, 1880, in Staunton, Virginia, and earned a bachelor’s degree from Hampden Sydney College in 1901, a master’s degree from Princeton University in 1902, and a law degree from the University of Virginia in 1904. Cochran had contact with Woodrow Wilson in both direct and indirect ways. While a student at Princeton, Cochran took at least one class from Professor Wilson. In 1912 when Wilson ran for president of the United States on the Democratic ticket, Cochran served as Wilson’s campaign manager in the Tenth Congressional District, which then included Staunton and Augusta County. Early in the year of 1912, while the upcoming election was still in the primary season, Cochran organized a group of 200 Stauntonians who took a train to hear Wilson’s speech in the state capitol of Richmond, VA—Cochran himself introduced Wilson to the large delegation. In November of 1912 after the election, Cochran had a personal visit with the President-elect. Afterwards Cochran wrote that a New York newspaper had reported that “Col. Gordon and Mr. Cochean [sic], old friends of the President had been to visit him.” Cochran had indirect contact with Wilson as the former served under his Commander-in-Chief as an officer in the U. S. Army during World War I, as described above. Cochran worked as an attorney from 1920 until 1969. He died on February 12, 1969, and was buried in Staunton, VA.",,Folder,,,,"Cochran’s personal correspondence begins in 1911 and 1912 when he was establishing his law practice in Staunton. As a supporter of the Democrat Woodrow Wilson’s bid for the 1912 primary election and general election, these letters give a local perspective into national politics. The letters also document his seeking after letters of recommendation for a post in the Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Office after World War I broke out, and then, after he received his appointment and orders to leave for France, his descriptions to his wife Susie of his overseas experience. He describes traveling on board the U. S. S. George Washington, touring various battlefields and shelled areas, the visit of the king and queen of Belgium to Gen. Pershing’s headquarters, his stay in a hospital, his impressions of a July 14 parade in France, the longing of the soldiers to return home, and other observations. His military correspondence contains letters and telegrams concerning his appointment as Major to the Judge Advocate General’s office, recommendations regarding courts-martial, his recommendation of A. G. Robertson for the JAG Office, and personal letters between officers. His personal military records contain identification cards, ration cards, a pay slip, and requests for leave of absence. The memos section is the largest series in the collection. These originated from government offices, mostly the JAG Department, and convey information to armed forces personnel concerning military issues such as conscientious objectors, aliens in American military, court martial, war-induced mental illness, desertion, absence without leave, war risk insurance, requests for discharge based on number of dependents, and other subjects. The reports series includes a few documents marked “Secret” and transmit information obtained from German troops, and other documents concerning battle analyses and descriptions of wartime facilities. The Judge Advocate General Department’s opinions contain many pages of condensed legal opinions on the topics mentioned above in the memos, as well as many other issues. The pamphlets are written on such topics as Army pay roll, War Risk Insurance Act, military uniform regulations, sanitary and communicable diseases information, and others. The photograph series shows Cochran in uniform as well as military and civilian sites in Europe. Cochran obtained postcards from Europe, and these depict scenes from France, Belgium, England, and Scotland. This collection has fifteen maps detailing battles such as the St. Mihiel Offensive and the Meuse-Argonne campaign, maps of France, the Order of Battle on Armistice Day, and “New Europe.” One map—“Nouvelle Carte de France”—has hand-drawn lines and handwritten symbols and notes in English. The folder marked “miscellaneous” contains a handwritten college notebook from Cochran’ school days.",,,,,https://presidentwilson.org/files/original/59bc4cf29fe944b72a885fe6cd96ac7c.pdf,"Archival Finding Aid","Peyton Cochran Papers",1,1
