Paddock, Jr., undated (McClure was born March 4, 1897, in Mattoon, Illinois. After graduating from Kentucky Military Institute in 1915, he served with the Philippine Constabulary as a second lieutenant. On August 9, 1917, he earned a Regular Army commission and was promoted to first lieutenant. From then until the eve of World War II, he served in a variety of infantry and service-school assignments in China and the United States. During the interwar years, McClure, like other career officers, found promotion excruciatingly slow: he served in the rank of captain for seventeen years; died of a heart attack at Fort Huachuca, AZ on January 1, 1957, two months prior to his 60th birthday) <http://www.psywarrior.com/mcclure.html> OCLC, Oct. 1, 2014 (hdg.: McClure, Robert A.; McClure, Robert Alexis; usage: Brigadier General Robert A.
