Edward Mann Lewis Grave Marker

Major General Edward Mann Lewis rests here in the San Francisco National Cemetery, marking the end of a military career that spanned forty-six years. Before his passing in 1949, Lewis served as a classmate and lifelong friend to General John J. Pershing, a bond that defined much of his path through the Army. His service reached from the late nineteenth-century American frontier to the pivotal battlefields of the First World War in Europe. You are standing near the grave of a man who commanded the 30th Infantry Division during the final months of the Great War, helping to break the formidable Hindenburg Line and hasten the end of the conflict.
