AUTO HIT BY 81
PIECES SHRAPNEL
Awarded Croix de Guerre and
Bears Three Overseas Chew
rons and Wound Stripe
Was In Putnam Wednesday to Stir
Up Recruiting In U. S. Marines

The first automobile that was land
ed with the expeditionary forces
overseas was in Putnam Wednesday.
The car was in charge of Sergeant
Roger j. c. Wilson, and he is touring
the country in an effort to recruit Ia
600 marines to fill the ranks caused
by the casualties in the World War.
The car belongs to the 9Th Regi-
ment Marines, End division and trav-
eled $4,000 miles overseas. 1t par
ticipated in every battle, including
Verdun, Chateau Thierry sector, Bel
leau Wood, now called wood of the
Brigade of the American Marines"
or in French, sBois de la Brigade de
Marine" 1t was here that the ma
rines stopped the Germans who were
advancing at the rate of eight miles
day toward Paris, and captured
three towns, Lucy, La Bocage, Bour-
esches and Belleau. The victory was
the first reported of American men
overseas From there the auto went
to scissors, Argonne, Mouse offensive,
assault on Mont Blanc, Sedan, and
with the army of occupation at Cob
LEM, Germany, bridgehead, and was
then brought home.
The car was used by three brigadier
generals, Doyen (deceased), Neville
and Logan Feland, who brought the
ear back by special permission on &C
count of its history. The car was hit
by 81 pieces of shrapnel and many of
its wounds" are visible. But it is
the same old car in every particular,
except that the rear right hand door
had to be replaced. There are dents
in the hood made by pieces of shrap-
mel and on the driving rod and steer
ing wheel. The car, 1917 stock
ever, says Sergeant Wilson, and il
never gave trouble during all of its
hard service.
The car also won the first prize for
speed and endurance among cars of
the A. E. F. that were wounded
and had seen years service. 1t was
awarded the Croix de Guerre and Is
decorated with the palm and star by
General Petain and carries the Indian
head and star of the second division,
also the three overseas chevrons and
a wound chevron The car has no Ii
cense but sails under a brigadier
generals star.
Sergeant Wilson says that young
men are wanted for the marines, and
that the nearest recruiting STATEN to
Putnam is at 756 Main street, Hart
ford The requirements for enlist
ment are: That applicant be an Amer
lean citizen between II and 40 years
