"Scotty" Robertson is in line for the
French croix de guerre and that is the
best news that his friends in Barre have
received since they heard that wounds
received in action some few months ago
would not prove fatal. Private Alexan-
der Robertson, first a granite cutter and
then an employe Of the Barre Savings
bank, enlisted from this city in one OF
the companies recruited here for the old
lst Vermont infantry. Then he was
transferred to the l0lst machine gun
battalion and by the fall of 1917 he was
on his way overseas. His name was one
of the first from Barre TO be mentioned
in the American casualty lists. Tidings
Of his good fortune in being mentioned
for the famous French decoration were
received Yesterday by Mrs. Harry Brown
