Although the unit did not operate
against the Germans, a number of
men under. command of Capts. Con-
verse, Thayer. Smith, Plat, TealI and
McGill were sent up into the army Of
occupation with a convoy OF horses
for use in that section. Maj. Clement
B. Wood, formerly captain of Battery
A. was sent on special mission with
Polish troops who were homeWard
bound through Germany after the
war. Maj. Herbert B. Hayden became
lieutenant colonel of the s10th Field
Artillery.
The regiment had the distinction of
being the winner in horse show. and
its entertainment troupe was seen all
over the A. e. F., being managed by
Chaplain Stock, the Catholic chaplain,
and consisting of such estimable
players as Corporals Eakin and Faust,
Private III. Gretchen, Bugler Price.
Kelly and Stratton, James J. Daubert.
Davitt and Evers and the famous Col
Inns, who had Harry Lauder backed
or the boards Bob Reddington,
formerly drum major, was inter-
locutor in the minstrel show. which
was the final outgrowth of this
troupe.
In boxing the regiment attained
fame. largely through the efforts OF
Joe McGurk, who never was licked
in France, and who represented the
division in matches gotten up by the
whole A. E. r.
Col. Mortimer, with Maj. David A.
Reed, Capt. Converse and Chauffeur
johnson, visited the 57th Artillery
Brigade toward the close of HOSTILE
ties and helped to direct the fire.
They were treated to an airplane at
tack while they were staying in a.
hut.
Lieut. C. p Macarthur, jr.. was the
author of a history of the regiment,
which was published just before the
boys left France to be demobilized at
Camp Dix. Copies handed out at Camp
Dix last week when the regiment ar
rived showed the author to be pos

SOME DETAILS TO
CONE FROM UNITS

All history Of the 79th Division
would of necessity be incomplete be-
cause of the very magnitude OF the
work performed by the $4,000 men
who comprised the unit under MAI
Gen. Joseph e. Kuhn.
Even the memorial drawing OF the
division. made by clifford b. Lee.
member Of the S11th Field ArtiileFy
and q resident of Camden w. r., con-
tains only the one. battle. Mohtfauc0ns
as the crowning feature Of the picture
1t takes this one feat as Qualifications
for placing the division in the hail
OF fame, which, indeed, IL the title of
. the drawing, Although this had been
the headquarters of the German
crown prince many years. there were
many other places captured BY the
warriors of the 10th. notably Hin No.
37S,- credited to the 316th Infantry.
just as the 313th is given the major
credit for the first capture The draw
ing is excellent for framing. The tsYH
is giving them away.
At this TIME the work of the 310th
and 311th~ Machine Gun Battalions both
of.which were Of wonderful assistance
to the infantry, cannot be mentioned
In detail, as the material is not avail
able; the same Is true of the 312th
Field Artillery and the quarterma0fer
boys and the military police.
Many States Included.
Most of the men in the command
were. natives of Pennsylvania ana
came here to Camp Meade in Sep-
tember and October, 1917. Many more
were from Maryland, the District of
Columbia, and in the latter days o.
the training period, before the sailing
in June and July. thousands were in
cluded from West Virginia, Ohio, New
York and Rhode Island.
Its commander, Gen. Kuhn, had
been president of the Army War Co.'s
attache In the American embassy at
Berlin. He was personally commended
by Ambassador Gerard for his work
In connection with observations OF the
operations OF the German armies In
the early days Of the war.
Cen Kuhn took the division 10
France and commanded 1t throughout
the Meuse-Argonne offensive. His
chief of star was Col. Tenney Ross.

Like almost every signal BATTALION
the work of the outfit was seldom
mentioned in dispatches. The men
were divided into small groups. in
command OF an officer. who. in turn,
had assigned to him a regimental of
ncer with corps of assistants, whose
duty It was to help the expert signal
men in every way possible.
Going through all sorts of obstacles
these men established and maintained
liaison among the various units of
the 18th Division and IT was seldom
that message could not be handled
in some manner to the entire satisfac-
ton of the sender. The telephone,
wireless. radio, wigwag and many
other systems were employed, but the
slogan was "get the message through"
and the way in which it was done was
a minor consideration, so long as it
were rapid.

Capt. Flood a Regular.

No record can be found among All
the travels of the battalion. since its
organization in Camp Meade and m
It's great work in France, of any quar-
rel or INST fights among its men. Capt.
1000 OF baltimore. an old IN. s. E."
OF the Regular Army, promoted dur
ing the war. declared that he regard
ed TINS fact as one of the best indi-
catlons or the character and patriot
ism of the men who comprised the
outfit.
Il have been in the Army MANY
years" he said. "but l have never
known an OUTFIT of the size OF this
battalion that did not have sts little
scraps. Sometimes these would as
sumo very ugly character. This was
never the case in the 3O4th."
AS the men came from every station
in life it was remarkable that they
could be joined together in companies
for common purpose without ever
having a dispute Of a serious nature.
Moody A.. Robinson, teacher from
Dorchester county, Md, was one of
those who set fine example to the
rest of the men. He was a fellow of
good education, but he set himself to
the task of becoming a good private
soldier Just as many men tried to
gain commissions of high rank. He
performed deeds of bravery, won the
love and admiration of his fellows
and returns to his home without WISH
Bile decorations, but carrying within
himself the infinitely better prize of
knowledge of duty well done.
In the final word with Maj Gen. j.
e. Kuhn, the division commander,
upon leaving France, the battalion
was mentioned in glowing terms in an
official citation.
