Son of Allen P. and Harriet L. (Seymour) Soule, of Hingham, Mass.; was born in Maiden, Mass., April 5, 1891. He was educated in the public schools of Hingham, and at Colby College, where he played on the Varsity football team. Previous to enlisting he served three years in Co. H, 2d Regiment, Maine Nat.

From there he was sent to Ellington Field, Houston, Tex., on March 8, 1918. On April 1, 1918, Cadet Soule received an injury from a collision in the air, while training at Ellington Field, which resulted in his physical disqualification for the Air Service. He was recommended for a commission on June 25, 1918; but was discharged on July 8, 1918. Quoting from the Findings and Recommendation of the Head- quarters Board, at Ellington Field, dated June 25, 1918: The Board is of the opinion that on account of the physical disqualifications of this cadet, he should be removed from flying status and discontinue his training as pilot. He is an excellent type of man, his record is absolutely clean at this School, and his services as a cadet in training fora commission have been satisfactory in every respect except physically,and inasmuch as he had had some 45 hours training and is particularly acquainted with the Air Service, the Board recommends that he be considered as a candidate for a commission as Adjutant, or as a Supply Officer,and if this be not approved, it is recommended that he be discharged from the service of the United States. Mr. Soule was assigned to duty as Inspector and Tester of Airplanes at Detroit Acceptance Park, by the Bureau of Aircraft Production, on Sept. 9, 1918. He resigned from this duty on Dec.10, 1918. Married, June 23, 1917, Eleanor Patterson. (p. 362)
