Memories will ever crowd the mind and cause the eye to kindle with the light of loving sympathy as we recall our months of service at the base of supplies on the coast of France. For there we were privileged to learn something of the life and spirit of the stevedores, labor battalions and engineers — more than of them who, through all the desolate days of war, never ceased in their efforts to connect America with Chateau Thierry, Verdun, Sedan, St. Mihiel and other great battle centers of France. There we beheld combat troops, filled with the spirit of adventure arriving fresh from America to follow the trail to the already warworn front. And there came also those regiments that we called Pioneer Infantries, the imprints of whose deeds of duty and dar ing are stamped all over France. We followed our depot companies and engineers through those isolated stretches and wastes where they performed tasks so essential in the plans for victory.
