esting IcaMet on the record of a
Cadillac automobile which was used
in the A. E. F. service and made an
excellent record. The record is
printed as it was posted below the
car in the Automobile Show of tho

uerinany, March 10, 1919. The car
was a seven passenger Cadillac,
which with an extra gas tank on the
,runnlng board and a coat of O. D.
paint, served in the A. E. 1 In
France.-
The record states that:
"Thl car was first put Into, thu
service of the United Spates Army
on September 20, 191,'i, when it was
assigned to Frederick Funston, then
commanding the Southern Depart
ment at San Antonio, Texas.
During the Mexican campaign, it
was used by General Funston jfrac
ticftlly all the tinve.
After the death of General Funs
ton, the car was assigned to General
John J. Pershing.1 who used It until
he was sent overseas.
The car was then rurnou over to
tho new Commandoii of tho Southern
Department, General James Parker,
In April, 1917.
When General Parker procoeded
overseas, he turned the car over to
General Wijliam 6. 'Haan, who re;
lieved him of the command of. tin
32d Division.
General' Haan secured permission
to take this car with him to Franco.
March 6. 1918, it was unloaded from
ship at Brest.
In Mas', 1918, the car was turnod
over to Lieut. -Col. Jc(in H. Howard,
Assistant Chief of Staff G.-l, . the,
General having received a closed
body Cadillac for his use. Lleut.
Col. Howard took this car through
the actions in the Alsace sector,
thmujS'h the altacic and advance
from Chateau Thierry to Flames, ot)
the Vesle River; through the attack
and advance in the . Cheuila des

During the advance through tho

the Meuse River norlh of Verdun,;
and for the advanr-3 of tho Division

termaster. Following is tho record
of the car as determined from the ;

ers who have operated the car. The
record is sukstaatially correct.
