Actually, no.
Hugh
Rodham, the wealthy textile manufacturer originally from Chicago has a famous daughter.
Rear Admiral Hugh
Rodman (
no relation to Dennis or Hillary) who so famously broke his flag in defiance of the German Kaiser before leading the A.E.F. to Europe in 1917, was a different individual.
Hillary's dad
died in New York City at the age of 82 in 1993. That means he would have to have been just 6 years old when Black Jack and the doughboys sailed off to Flanders Fields.
Below we see "Sir" Hugh (newly minted knight by King George) and some of his Yankee mates. Admiral Sir Hugh (not Hillary's pater) is circled in the pic.
