Virginia War Memorial adds Staunton general's WWII papers to archive

The family of Brig. Gen. Morris Thompson Warner donated his personal wartime papers, correspondence and military records to the Virginia War Memorial in Richmond, preserving the story of a Staunton native who helped train and lead American infantry forces during World War II. The collection offers a firsthand account of Warner's military service and his connection to Staunton and the Shenandoah Valley. Warner began his 28 years of military service as a cadet at Pennsylvania State University, where he graduated as cadet commander of the corps. According to his family, he was federalized into the U.S. Army for deployment to Europe during World War I, but the war ended before he was stationed there. In 1922, Warner was assigned as training and plans officer for the 116th Infantry Regiment, a Virginia National Guard unit with historical ties to the Stonewall Brigade. A history of the regiment lists Warner as its training and plans officer beginning Aug. 10, 1922. He rose through the ranks while also building a small manufacturing company and participating in civic life in the Shenandoah Valley. As World War II intensified, then-Lt. Col. Warner took command of the 116th Infantry Regiment and oversaw the preparation of its

Staunton students part of Richmond's 'Battle of the Brains'

Binge watching television has its advantages beyond just a way to relax after a long day of school or work. Staunton High School's Owen Warner used it to study for his academic competition. Warner didn't watch just any show, though. The senior watched past episodes of "Battle of the Brains," a Richmond-based quiz show for high school students. Warner and his Staunton teammates are one of more than 30 teams from around the state competing on the show this season. "I watched all the episodes from last season," Warner said. "It helped get the style of questions in my mind. Because it's a trivia competition. You've got to know the stuff, but it's more about the mental connections you're making, just knowing when to hit the buzzer." Hudson Bronik-Ezzell agreed that watching the show and knowing the format helped. Bronik-Ezzell, like her teammates, are also part of Staunton's scholastic bowl team, which competes locally against other area schools. But the questions on "Battle of the Brains" and the ones heard during scholastic bowl are very different. "They're a lot shorter," Bronik-Ezzell said of the TV show questions, "and more straightforward." Warner said most teams competing in "Battle of the Brains"
