"It has been a pleasure to command men such as com posed this division," says Major General William H. Johnston, commander of the -N.lnv-f(raf rilviKinn. In a. letter' to Governor Olcott. 'They have demon strated that no better soldiers .: exist than can be made of young American citizens. , They will return . to their rience gained as soldiers but will re turn better clttsens because, of 4 their service during this war. They s have learned - how to command and to obey ; how to bear with fortitude the un avoidable inconveniences and even suf ferings of the campaign. They have not only seen their comrades die for the cause, but have themselves offered their lives for the same cause. Men who havo acquired ' the virtues of nhi4liw fnrlffliri a.nd MUrtea C&nnOt fail, as citizens, to exhibit such vir tues throughout their lives.

"The movement of the division from the American embarkation center, Le Mans area, was commenced according .to' schedule, after all men fcxd been inspected and records had been pre pared for embarkation, about March -.16. The division was moved by rail to St. Nazal re, the port at which the first rniutlllnn landed late . in June. 1917. The movement was slightly interrupted waiting for vessels. - Some organisa tions sailed from St. Naxaire as early as March 19. 21, 23 and 25.

It was the good fortune of this division to serve Continuously at the front from the time it had completed training in France until the armistice interrupted hostilities. I have impressea upon oi f icers and men, however, that other di visions'" and other troops, assigned to duty in the service of supply, deserve equal credit for the manner In which their duties were discharged.
