SECOND DIVISION in ACTION
Lsstsr Ceddafd, Harry Tablsr and
Howard Csssslkrn All In
The Socond,

inc that ia a few days the Amer
leans will be asking which of'its
divisions played the Biggest role in
beating Germany. Far'be it from
me to undertake the onerous task
Of nominating our best division.
bat It may be set forth that one
which France will long remember
with the deepest love and respect
Is the Second Division. Ny per-
sonai notebook rejecting the story
of operations in which the Ameti-
cans have been engaged indicates
the Second has done the most fight
ing Of any of our divisions.
The First, Forty.second and
Twenty.sixth Divisions, it may be
stated, will not agree with this yer.
dict. In fairness to the First Di-
vision, it should be said that 1t was
first in the trenches and Ia every
battle has given most excellent
account of itself.
The Second Division is com posed
of the Fifth and Sixth Marines;
the Ninth and Twenty third Reg
ular Infantry, all possessing fame,
the Twelfth, Fifteenth and Seven.
teenth Artillery Regiments and the
Second Engineers.
In the early Autumn of 1917,
when the American uniform was
unknown on the western front,
there came to France two divisions
of American soldiers hastily gath.
cred together and sent over in re-
sponSe to the demand for early rep
resentation from the new nation
which had joined the Allies. These
were the First and Second Divi-
sions.
While the First Division went
more quickly into training, the
Second was used that Winter for
all sorts of work, building railroads,
landing coal and. other prosaic
tasks; between times getting milf :
tary training. Its officers were
mostly experienced men and the
skeleton of its regiments was com.
posed of old army men.
In March of this year the Second
Division left the training area in
the vicinity of Bourmont and went
in with the French for six-weeks
training period in the trenches on
the heights of the Meuse southeast
of Verduu. After that it was sent
to a division sector of it's own in
the region of Les Eparges, where.
it held the line about two months.
When the Germans started their
victory drive in March. it will be
remembered, General Pershing Of
fered General Foch anything the
Americans had in France that could
be of use in stopping the enemy
The First Division was taken from
the Toul sector and sent to the
Mont didier region. The Second
was taken out of the line for a short
period of intensive training and
then taken to the Somme region. |
The First Division had taken
