LETTER FROM
|. FORREST STAMEY
Paris, France, July Is, 1915

HdFlS, FRANCE, July To- 1919
Dear Folks:
| had a good view of the Vic
tory Parade yesterday and / do not
expect to ever see another like it.
The evening before the streets were
lined with people who waited there
all night to be sure to have a place
where they could see the thing they
had waited years for.
The first feature was the open
ing of the Arch of Triumph. which
was closed with iron chains in 1871
to keep the Germans out. The
Germans said they would cut the
chains and go thru in this war but
the Americans stopped them. and
France is very thankful for it.
The parade started with the boom
ing of big guns. Then up the
street came the Republic Guards.
Generals Foch and Joffre and their
staffs, then General Pershing and
his staff, the American Band and
composite regiments, then the Bel
gians and English with General
Haig leading, Italians lead by
Diaz, then the smaller nations
japanese, Chinese, Greeks. Poland.
Portuguese, Roumanians, Serbians,
Siamese and Czecho Slovaks. Each
nation had collection OF ilags
and there were uniforms of every
color which made it all. the more
picturesque Then came the thrill
for the French-the return of the
Victorious Poilus on his famous
white charger The Poilus carried
fllgs of many battles, many OF them
shot full of holes, and with history
back to Napoleon's time The
FI$nch cavalry Algernian and Mo-
rOlo were represented and nine
baby tanks closed the Parade
In the two hours that l stood at
the Place de la Concorde | saw all !
the Generals, all the flags and all
the alive heroes of this war-a sight |
l will never forget l saw soldiers /
who were decorated so many times !
they were stoop-shouldered from car |
rying their decorations Some of the I
officers were old and gray but /
were stepping like two-year-old |
ahead of their regiments. There /
were heroes of the battles of Marne,
Ypres, Verdun, Scissor, Chateau 1
Thierry and many others. A gather,
ing of Generals and heroes never /
seen before and perhaps never to
be seen again.
American troops were cheered
more than any others except the
French and were given up to be
the finest troops in the Parade. |,
Marshall Joffre says they are the
finest troops he has ever seen.
| could look back thru the crowd
and pick out all the mothers who
had lost their sons; see soldiers
who will carry scars of this war
thru life which is the sad sight of
it all.
Il utI6 NdS hlutH ChCSlAh6 iho
weeping while the Parade was on.
Then those who had been waiting
all night went home and the rest
stayed and danced and had good
time for another night and l think
it will last for several days.
America was given the position
of honor in the Parade. People yell
ed Long Live America until they
couldn't talk Every child 1 met |,
grabbed my hand, every French sol
dier saluted and said something and
old ladies patted my cheeks which
all goes to prove that France does
: ht we have done and
they are our tFfends.
hApe to be home in time to put
in year or two in the old soldiers
home.
With Love-
