Originally Gen. Pershing, while he
was still abroad, was named as grand
marshal of the military ceremonies.
He was to have ridden at the head of
the funeral escort, but this program
did not suit the former commander of
the American expeditionary forces
, and he, too, walked behind the casket,
going afoot all the way from the cap

France.
When the moment came, the body
