FAMOUS UNIT
„ THAT PERSHING
LEDYESTERDAY
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The First division,
first units of which returned home re
cently from Germany, and paraded in
honor of General Pershing in New
York yesterday, is justly proud of
its claims as being “the first division
in France; first in a fighting sector;
first to fire a shot at the Germans;
first to attack; first to conduct a raid;
first to be raided; first to capture
prisoners; first to inflict casualties;
first to suffer casualties; first to be
cited singly in general orders; first
in the number of division, corps and
army commanders and general staff
officers produced from its personnel.”
The official history of the division
shows it was organized in France,
the last units to arrive reaching that
country July 2, 1917. It was composed
of troops of the regular army, the
Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-sixth
and Trenty-eighth infantry regi
ments; the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
artillery regiments; the First engi
neer regiment and train; the Second
field signal battalion and the Third,
Fourth and Fifth ambulance com
panies and field hospital.
It occupied successively the Som
merville sector, near Nancy; the An
sauville sector, near Toul; the Can
tigny sector, near Montdidier; parti
cipated in the Soissons operation
southwest of Soissons, occupied the
Saizerais sector; participated in the
St. Mihiel operation; the Meuse
Argonne operation in the Sheppy sec
tor, west of Varennes; the operation
against Mouzon, and the operation
south and southwest of Sedan, at
tacking the height on the morning
of November 7, 1918.
On November 17 it began the mem
orable inarch through Lorraine and
Luxembourg, reaching the Coblenz
bridgehead on the Rhine, December
14, 1918, which poition it held until
relieved recently by other American
troop.
Replacement in the division up to
the time of the armistice totaled
30,206, and the losses in killed and
died of wounds were 4,411; wounded
and gassed, 17,201, and prisoners lost,
152. It captured 6,467 Germans, 119
pieces of artillery, 62 trench mortars
and 413 machine guns. The total of
Distinguished Service Crosses award
ed the men of the division was 356.
Major General William L. Sibert
commanded the division from June 8,
1917, to December 12, 1917; Major
General Robert L. Bullard from De
cember 13, 1917, until he became
corps commander; Major General
Charles P. Summerall from July 20,
1918, to October 11, 1918; Brigadier
General Frank E. Bamford from Oc
tober 12, 1918, to October 24, 1918;
Brigadier General Frank Parker took
command on October 25, 1918, and
from May 31, 1919, Major General
E. F. McGlachlin, Jr., was in com
mand of the division.
The divisional insignia is a crimson
“1” on a khaki background, chosen be
cause the numeral “1” represents the
number of the division and many of
its subsidiary organizations.
JOHN BARLEYCORN’S REIGN
IS ENDED IN KLONDIKE
Yukon Territory became bone dry
September 1, and will remain so
until early next year, at least. An
election on the question as to whether
the territory is to remain bone dry
will be called early in 1920. Until
that time there wil be no liquor sold
legally in hte territory.
The Whitehorse Star says there
is little liquor in the territory.
Notice that the bone dry ordinance
would go into effect September 1 was
given so long before the event that
the dealers had ample time to dispose
of most of their stock.
You’ll be there September 13, Eagle
