of the American doughboy. In the
Champagne offensive three American
divisions were engaged under the
Rainbow Division, the2d, composed
largely of United States Marines. and
the 32d, composed mostly Of Texas

In presenting the model to Gen:
Pershing, Gen. Gouraud eaplained
that the original is being made with

pie who live in the sector the Amer
