PIONEER INFANTRY.

Alonzo Jackson, colored, of Paris.
a member of Company c.. in the ia

made great record in Frnace, sends
a clipping from French newspaper,
published in English. Jackson asks
its publication ''in order that the

cOlored soldiers did in France during

The S01st Pioneer Infantry, one
of the best trained colored organiza-
tons in the A. E. F., was modified
at Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville,
KY, during July and August, 1918,
and placed under command of Colonel
George F. Hamilton, a man of TWEEN
ty-nine years army experience Dur
ing these months this outfit was put
through stiff training.

Many have been the vicissitudes

repurchased, however, in 1871 for t3.-
