Private James Henderson was among the thousands of young Americans who served during one of history's most consequential conflicts — and paid the ultimate price.

PVT James Henderson was born on May 5, 1889, and served in the United States Army. He passed away on May 9, 1919 — just months after the end of World War I. Whether his death came from wounds sustained in battle or the devastating influenza pandemic that swept through military ranks in 1918–1919, he was among those whose final chapter was written in the shadow of the Great War.

The men who served in the U.S. Army during this era faced not only the horrors of industrial warfare in the trenches of Europe, but also disease and hardship on a massive scale. Their courage changed the course of history.

PVT James Henderson now rests at San Antonio National Cemetery, surrounded by the brothers-in-arms he served alongside.
