Philadelphians' Record in
War Unchallenged
for Bravery
ON EVERY FIRING LINE
Shared i'm Victories Won on
Land and Sea and
in Air
ON EVERY FIRING LINE

More than $4,000 Philadelphlans have
served in the army and navy in the war
Philadelphians have fought on land,
on the sea and in the air, and they have
taken part in the biggest battles in
which Americans have participated.
They are on the firing line in Belgium,
France and Italy, and few are in Rus
sia.
on the sea they have fought subma-
rines, conveyed transports and guarded
the coasts of their country.
In the air Philadelphians have won
memorable victories.
Their names have appeared in every
casualty list issued by the War Depart
ment for they have fought always with
desperate courage that would not per-
NIT them TO accept defeat
They have taken part in every battle
that will appear in the histories Of
Americas part In the war. Chateau
Thierry and the Marne. the drive across
the Vcsle and the fighting at Fismes
and FNsmette, in the st, Mihiel salient,
and the drive northwest Of Verdun in the
region of Montfaucon are among these.
Philadelphians especially the guards
men of the Twenty-eighth and the Rain
bow divisions. have seen more action
than soldiers from any other city.
Some idea of the number of men from
here in the war may be gained from
the statement that more than 30 per
cent Of the men available for military
service have enlisted or have been draft
ed. This is more than 3 per cent of
the entire population OF the city.
Navy men were, perhaps. the first
from here to take active part in the
war. Among these Philadelphia is rep.
resented by approximately 5000 in the
naval coast defense reserve, and $500
in the naval reserve,
Volunteers OF the regular army
among the first troops sent to France
come next. of these there are ap-
proximately $500.
The National Guard came next, and
although their number does not make
an imposing total as compared with
other figures, their part was greater
than any others. About $500 of these
have fought in the Twenty-eighth and
/ Rainbow divisions.
The first of these to go over were II
