This monument on the campus of Cumberland University contains the following inscription: "Here on this campus was located maneuver director headquarters Tennessee Maneuver Area 1942 - 1944. In memory of the 268 servicemen and 9 civilians who died during maneuvers. There were trained 850,000 Americans who served in Europe and the Pacific theaters."	Hubert met and worked with General George Patton in 1944 when General Patton lived on campus in Bone Hall.

In 1917 Hubert was living in Ashland City TN and farming. He registered for the draft while there as evidenced by his draft registration card.

Soon thereafter, in 1917, Hubert enlisted in the Army as a Private and was off to France where he received a battlefield commision.

The note below apparently was written by British King George V and a copy was given to every U.S. Soldier passing through England on their way to Europe. Hubert wrote a short note on the bottom that he was OK and mailed it back home, thereby leaving a record that he was in England in April of 1918.
