The First Division.

Formerly of Company G, 18th Infantry.
When the clarion call of country
Bade strong men rise and 60,
Came they the first Of the willing first,
In the pride that real men know.
When the Eagle scared and its great wings
spread
Sailed they the first Of the Viking first
Where the treacherous waters spanned.
When the Eagles brood awoke to the shrek
First of the flock bled they beneath
The star flares binding light
When the lunging, torn front lines locked
Swept they the first of the fighting first
And the van OF the battle van.
From the training days Of Gondrecourt-
Demange-cold, wet and gray
To the trenches north OF LunevIle-
To Bouconville-Xivray.
To the crater-pitted. wasted tracts
OF war-torn Picardy.
And the ghastly rubble hilltop
Where Cantigny used to be
To the splendid days of soissons-
The crisis Of the strife;
To where giant pincers severed
st. Mihie1 as a knife
To the glorious, stubborn struggle
tts the rTssed af AsSane ssSan cTPsed sopes
With the vandals' crumbling hopes
Sweeping in conquering columns
To the banks Of the vaunted Rhine
Ever the first Of the fighting first,
And the lords OF the battle line.
