Maj. Gen. George A. White was the Oregon National Guard’s longest-serving adjutant general. Until the time of his passing in 1941, White had served nearly 27 years as adjutant general, dating back to Feb. 1, 1915. He served in the Spanish-American War and on Mexican border duty in 1916. During World War I, he served with both the 41st Division and on the staff of General John J. Pershing in the General Headquarters of the American Expeditionary Force in France. White was one of four officers credited with founding the America Legion while in France and became the first vice-commander and adjutant while the American troops were still overseas.
