Pacific ribbon with three campaign
stars and the American Defense rib
bon with one battle star.

9th Army Group, France - From
"railwaymen" to "cheminots" to
"ferrovioni' and back to "chemi-
nots." That, in brief, is the overseas
history of Pfc. Charles w. Selby,
whose home address is 709 West
Walnut street, and his fellow mem
bers in the 761st Railway Trans
portation Company, for that is what
they have been called as they moved
from the British Isles to North Afri-
ca to Italy and to France.
The 761st, an important unit in
the LIST Military Railway Service,
which supports all the troops of the
u. S. Seventh and French First
Armies on the Western Front, was
activated July %, 1912, at Camp
Shelby, Miss. Veterans from three
of the oldest railway operating bat
talions, the 727th, the 713th and the
711th, joined the 761st just before
and after it arrived in Scotland on
September 5, 1912, only five weeks
after its activation.
In England, the company operated
small British military experimental
railroad. The line, with II miles of
track and eight stations, presented
many problems that the railway
men would meet later. Also, about
10 train crews from the company
trained on the London, Midland and
Scottish Railway.
The 761st landed at Oran three
days after the initial North African
landings, while the firing was still
going on. The company immediate
ly took over the railroad station in
Oran and supervised rail transporta-
ton between that city and Algiers.
Moving to Italy in June, 1914, the
76lst had the job of operating the
Naples terminal and furnishing
yardmasters, checkers, interpreters
at the docks, railyards and move
ment control offices, and other per-
sonnet. Similar duties were assign
ed the unit when it moved into
Southern France. Keeping supplies
moving from the great ports to the
men at the front has meant plenty
of hard work. The 761st recently
shared in a commentator of the
lst Military Railway Service by 1t.
Gen. Jacob L. Devers, commanding
general of the 9th Army Group.
