Bonesteele com pany. Salem distributors". "Year own Colonel Olson also served In the First Division, and gallantly, too". Atkinson said in pointing to achievements of the First' Division, which claims first honors in sending' American troops to France and last In send ing, them home. The division rec ord Is 220 days in the front line, wtta 10S officers, 8,304 men, 119 field'-pieces and'CX trench pieces captured. It was the first to shoot Germans, first to attack,- first to raid and be raided, first to cap tare prisoners, to be sighted sing ly in general orders and to suffer casualties. ."
