Book excerpt: Excerpt from The 55th Artillery in the American Expeditionary Forces, France Of their battles. Telephone wires were continual victims of enemy shell-fire, so that on one occasion thirty-nine distinct breaks were found in a single line; special praise was meted out to the officers and men in charge of communications, the officers being Capt. T. J. Leary and Lts. J. C. Bates, R. D. Pierce, F. Camm and W. A. Hodge. Montfaucon possesses most tragic memories for members of the 55th, as there they were part of the army's exposed center bulge or salient and there consequently they lost six Of those who constituted their total of 'killed or died of wounds.' The regiment's losses were thirteen killed in action, twenty-two or more who died from sickness or accident and forty-eight wounded who did not die; and the figures would have been far higher except for the admirable discipline of the command and the tactical skill manifested in its handling. On Jan. 29, 1919, the War Department announced the adoption of a plan for perpetuating the names and service records of National Guard and National Army units which had distinguished themselves overseas, and continuing them as regiments or divisions of the Regular Army; and the 55th Artillery was the very first such unit to be thus honored. While fully appreciating the distinction con ferred, the regiment did not equally enjoy the assignment which accompanied it - namely, to Fort Winfield Scott in the Coast Defenses of San Francisco; the regimental heart yearned for Boston. All discharges having been granted to which men were entitled, on Feb. 17 the regiment started for its new station with a strength of 170 men and 9 officers after a marvelous scenic journey via Chicago, Colorado Springs (where they indulged in a street parade as their expression of appreciation for the many courtesies extended by the local Red Cross), Salt Lake City and the Feather River, they were welcomed by the San Francisco Red Cross at Oakland, Feb. 23, and were transported in the Government steamer to Fort Scott. Every one who could devise a reasonable pretext proceeded to apply for transfer back to Boston or for discharge, with the immediate result of a considerable diminution of even the existing reduced numbers. The regiment was promptly equipped with twenty-four 155 mm. G. P. F. Rifles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the 139th Field Artillery, American Expeditionary Forces In January, 1917, Governor Goodrich appointed Colonel Harry B. Smith of Indianapolis to be Adjutant General of the State of Indiana. Perhaps no officer ever came to this office better equipped temperamentally, professionally and by experience to cope with the important work and problems that this office had to handle and solve in the nation's participation in the war which then appeared inevitable. For seventeen years I had served under the command of Colonel Smith in the 2d Infantry, I. N. G., including that regiment's service in the Spanish American war, and had every opportunity to become acquainted with his capacity and excellent ability. It has been my endeavor in the administration of this regiment to carry out the lessons learned from such able officers as my former regimental commanders, the late Colonel James R. Ross, Colonels Harry B. Smith and Henri T. Conde and General Will J. McKee, all to whom I shall always owe a great debt. I count it as one of the greatest opportunities of my life to have been able to serve as a young man under these sterling soldiers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trail of Battery D: Three Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Heavy Field Artillery, American Expeditionary Forces At the time war was declared the standing army of our Country was a very small one. We only had some Regulars, and these were so scattered along our coasts and in our island pos sessions that their strength was insignificant. Yes, we had the National Guard units whose numbers were about But 'the sum total of all available troops was a mere bit in comparison to the millions of veterans on the Western and other Fronts. It was apparent that if the United States was to take a prominent part in the War our Army would have to mobilize troops by the millions. And it was done, and done so successfully that the war was brought to an end much quicker than even our military experts had dared to hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the 118th Infantry: American Expeditionary Force, France About the middle of July the Regiment was assembled at Camp Sevier, near Greenville, S. C., as the pioneer regi ment of the 3oth Division. The camp at that time consisted mostly of woods, cultivated fields and mud. By the first of November great improvements had been made in the camp, this Regiment having contributed more than its share of work in the cleaning up process. Infantry might have been the official designation of the Regiment, but the men insisted that it should be called the South Carolina Land Development Company, so expert had they become with the use of the pick and shovel. Under the new plan of organization, the personnel of an infantry regiment had been greatly increased, the new plan calling for a war strength of more than men and officers. As this Regiment had a strength of about when it reached Camp Sevier, it was necessary to add twice its strength to fill it up to the required standard. The dis solution of the 55th Depot Brigade in October added sev eral hundred men who had belonged to National Guard units from South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. A draft of men from Camp Jackson, S. 'c., during the same month, brought the strength to around two hundred men per company but even this was not enough, so during the winter another contingent from Camp Dodge, Iowa, was added, bringing the Regiment to full war strength. The Camp Dodge men were mostly from Iowa, Blinnesota and the Dakotas, but soon had warmed themselves into the hearts of the Southerners, establishing a friendship between the different sections of the Union that will always be remembered by those concerned. Having started training when the Regiment first reached Camp Sevier, the drills, hikes, trench work and other forms of amusement continued through many weary long mon-ths. Day after day the men struggled through eight hours of work, slowly but steadily progressing toward a standard that would mark them trained soldiers. Specialist schools were established, in which men and officers were taught the use of machine guns, automatic rifles, grenades, the bayonet and all the other modern weapons used by infantry in France. These schools were supervised by French and British officers who selected the men showing special qualifi cations as their assistants, these assistants, in turn, acting as instructors throughout the Regiment, thus enabling practically every man to become familiar with the use of one or more of these weapons.

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
