CAPTAIN VANCE (S
IE AFTER
Captain A. J. Vance, fortner mnn-ngor-
of the Homo Telephone com
pany and former commander ot the
Seventh company, who Blnce his arri
val In thin country frqm France early
in April has visited tho eastern cities,
traveled thru southern Florida and
vialted Ms family In Oakland, Cal.,
where they have been living during
the war, arrived In the city last night
and .was busy shaking hands with
many friends today. Ho leaves to-
night for Montana points on business
mattors.and will be gone ten days
before returning.
Captain Vance had a thrilling and
. varied war experience and participat
ed In much ot the heavy fighting. Ab
is well known he left hero with the
Seventh company and served as Its
commander at the Columbia river
forts until a large section of the com-
pany together with section ot eight
other Oregon coast artillery compan
ies, including the Ashland, Marsh
field and Astoria companies, were
formed Into Battery E of the 6oth
artillery and sent to France. After
the 65th had been in France a short
' time he was detached from battery
service and detailed as instructor in
telephone school at the 'big A. E. F.
training center at Limoges. '
He served in that capacity two
months and had just received notice
of promotion to chief signal officer
of the 32nd artillery brigade when an
order arrived at the training center
for every officer there in all branches
,to 'be rushed to the front to help re
place the many officers killed and
wounded in the Chateau - Thierry
fight, which had just ended. Forty
officers detached from the 32nd ar
tillery, brigade including- Captain
Vance got to the front just in time to
get in the thick of the Solssons of
fensive in the middle of July. These
officers were distributed among the
dlvisions.ot the First army corps and
Captain Vance was assigned to the
Second army division as adjutant of
the Second ammunition train. .
. At the conclusion of the Soissons
offensive, in which the captain's di
vision suffered heavy losses the di-
' vision, along with the other American
troops,' was moved over to the St.
ilihiel sector, for the drive there and
Captain A'ance . was placed in com
mand of d company. Second ammuni
tion; train, which lost many men and
motor trucks in the drive. Most ot
the ammunition hauling had to be
done at night because of the danger
pf air raids. . Captain Vance's first
lieutenant was killed a few feet from
him by a "bursting shell. The heavy
ammunition for the artillery had to
be hauled, frequently In front of .the
advanced heavy guns, and the small
ammunition .often to the front line
trenches when' the horse drawn veh
icle ammunition service broke down
because of Bheer exhaustion of the
animals. . '
Following ' the 6t. -Mihlel drive
Captain; Vance was transferred to the
; A. B. F. supply purchasing . head
quarters at Rome, Italy, from which
country huge quantities of supplies
were shipped to France by trainloads.
He remained on duty there nntll the
armistice was signed, and the course
of duty took him practically in all
parts of Italy. After the armistice
' was signed he obtained a month's
leave of absence and traveled all over
Belgium and a large part of France.
Then he was ordered to headquar
ters in Paris on Dec. 20th, where he
' applied for his discharge, but was not
relieved from service until April 1st.
Tie arrived in Boston April 8 and was
discharged from service April 22nd.
