Obituary, Chadwick Funeral Service (New London, NH), 26 Feb 2011:

MARSHALL, Malcolm, 91, of New London, NH, died on February 15. He is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Andy (Rossdilley) [Ann Ross (Dilley) Marshall]; three sons, Duncan Marshall of Dublin, CA, Roderick Marshall of New London, NH, and Gordon Marshall of Pomfret, VT: a daughter, JJ Marshall-Scott, of Bedford, NH; and four grandchildren. He graduated from Milton Academy in 1937 and from Harvard University (B.A. 1941 and Ed.M. 1953) and Amos Tuck Business School at Dartmouth (M.B.A. 1947). Upon graduation from college, where he was in ROTC, he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Field Artillery. During WWII he served as an Artillery Officer in the 32nd Field Artillery Battalion, part of the 18th Infantry Regiment, the First Infantry Division, and attained the rank of Major. He participated in the Allied invasions of North Africa and Sicily and in the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach and was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and two purple hearts. Seriously injured outside of Aachen, Germany, he spent months in hospital; later in life his war injuries required additional surgeries and hospital stays. After business school he joined the First National Bank of Boston and later became an English teacher at Newton High School. He was an artist and author of the book "Proud Americans", a history of WWII as seen through the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Division. He was also a dedicated outdoorsman, sailor and an active member of Longwood Cricket Club and the Union Boat Club. He loved coaching and started the sailing program at Newton High School. He will be remembered as a loving father and husband, a dedicated teacher, and a loyal friend. Contributions in his memory may be sent to Society of the First Infantry Division, 1933 Morris Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422-1422. A memorial service will be held at Grace Episcopal Church, 76 Eldredge Street, Newton, MA, at 10:00 a.m. on March 2, 2011. Rest well, dear fellow – your duty is done and yours is a rest well deserved.
