First Division in great historical pageant that in striking manner Eae- morialized it's battles of the World war. Hundreds of other former officers and men of the division, since returned to civilian life, were in the three-mile l'ne with the present personnel of their old companies and batteries, marching in the most thrilling feature of the Armi- stice Day reunion of the first to go over and the last to come back"
 At the conclusion of the great aem- onstration, General Pershing deco rated with their regimental French four ragere a detail of crippled veterans of the division from the Walter Reed nos pital at Washington, praised in a brief address the record of the division as a standard of inspiration to American soldiers throughout all future, and paid a touching tribute to the mem )ry of those "who by their supreme sacri- fice'' have made this day possible.
 The historical pageant was an event unique in American army history, combining medieval European allsgory and tradition with history of the reat war. Witnessed by thousands of visit ors who were thrilled by it's magnifi- cence and significance, the parade especially signalized great offensives in which this division participated in France.

 EACH ARCH TELLS STORY


 Eight memorial arches told each it's story of some big event in division hls- tory, from the dlsembarking on French soil to the last successful drive at Se- dan. The Sedan arch, one of the largest, depicted one of the four roads along each of which First division regiment led the charge on its final objective, until in fine courtesy a f, W hundred yards from the actual city they halted to give their French allies the honor of first entering. Above this picture was a live doughboy perched "on the top of the world" with a star of victory over his head.
 General Pershing, Major General Summeral, the division commander, General Edwards and other headq lar- ters and brigade officers of the iivi- sion made up the first section of the parade. With General Pershing and acting as his aide, was Major George Marshall who, as chief of operations of the division, started the drive on Cantigny.
 | Lieut.. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr- formerly of the Twenty sixth infantry, marched with his old regiment and shared in the crowds ovations. As the first field artillery was form ing in line for the pageant, an aged man carrying the silken banner of an American Legion post, stepped into the ranks. It was Col. Fred Fiegel of New York, former Texas Ranger. His son Lieut.. Jeff Fiegel is said to have been the first American artillery officer killed in action. The father came to fill the dead boys place in the ranks today, and the banner was that of a post named in the young mans honor.
 A touch of pathos swept through the crowd when the long procession nead- ed toward the final arch. It was of plain white columns and evergr eens, and from it's center hung a white silk banner with a single gold star, honor> ing the hundreds of divisions heroes who sleep in the soil of France Gen. eral Pershing's eyes filled as he anne to salute before the service em olem. The ranks that had been waving theft flags and banners and emitting various battle yells along the line became sud denly silent and there were few dry eyes among the veteran marchers. All through the parade canon sent three cheers of a national salute ovef the camp. The honor of firing his Armistice Day salute went to Battery c of the Field artillery which was credited with firing the first shot for the United States in the war and which was nearly wiped out in later engage ments.
