RINGER Stanley A. Ringer was born in Allston in 1897. He graduated from the Washington Allston Grammar School and attended Mechanics Arts High School for two years and then worked for the Exchange Trust Company. Ringer enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps on May 2, 1917 as the first volunteer from Allston for the armed services in World War I. Within three months Ringer was overseas, serving in France with the 43rd Company, 5th Regiment, U. S. Marines, where he achieved the rank of corporal. Stanley Ringer was killed in France in action on June 11, 1918, at the age of 21. The French government awarded Ringer the Croix de Guerre.
