Lieutenant William D. Jsikaon, who
served with distinction during the war
In France and has returned to ixNu-eful
pin suits still Intent on having OrrgcutV
famous battery of field artillery reatr.

It always was since 1 H6t until the uNi
came. Lieutenant JackHon enlisted with
the battery In ,1909. lie huh. mud a
corporal in 1918; servant In 1915; sec
ond lieutenant In 1917 ; first lieutenant
the same year. The experience of the
battery on the border In 1918 made It
one of the best field artillery units of
the National Guard, and its services In
France proved, it to be one of the best
In" the entire line.
On one occasion In France during the
fierce battle of Juvigny In September,
1918, that Batteries A and U, 147th
Field artillery (who always went to
gether and were know as tjie' Orrson
batteries) were asajjlgrv"d to support the
Tehth French Colonial Morroi'.an-i whic h
had been ordered to advance and were
first checked by the German foreee, and
then counter-attacked. Artlllerv win
I needed at once, and although the two
batteries hsd been long on the battle
lint and Were expecting to fall back for
rest and recuperation, they, went into
action with enthuslHHm and vim as if
fresh from camp. Owing; to the herolo
work of these ; two batteries the Mor
rocans riot only were ablfl to stop re
treating but drove the Germans hack
much further than the original objective.
The batteries followed up closely, re
peatedly engaged In clone quarters with
the surging Uermnns us from time to
time they swung back In hopes of stop
ping their disastrous retreat and of cap
turing the intrepid American batteries.
For actions In this fierce enRHgeiiiMit
27 members of the batteries were cited
for exceptional bravery, Captain James
S. Gay included. After retiring from the
front and while at Brest.,, these" -men were
given a -special and formal review before
many thousands of troops iwtid preMenteil
with tho French Croix le Ouerre (rrnn
of war). It was characteristic of the
batteries to discover that when he or
ders came for these men and officers to
appear for the distlpnulMhcd ceremony,
not one of them could be found In camp,
and it was necessary to send out pro
vost guards to drag then) up far presen
tation to the distinguished generals and
staff before being given the lU-corittlon.
Lieutennt- Jacksou participated in
this and other battles with dtai ingulHhcd
bravery and capable service. The bat

Whether veterans or new men, artd no
lad but may be proud to serve under
officers like Lieutenant Jackson, who
never asked ta man to ro' where they
were not willing to go flrstr and who
went Into places and performed dredu of
courage and heroism that would have
been- considered impossible before .the
war; deeds which dazed the German
military authorities and delighted the
war-worn French In need of their iep,
determination and undaunted force and
courage.
