Description
Excerpt from With the 112th in France: A Doughboys Story of the War
It is not a compilation of official documents, written with a view to meeting all the requirements of a stereo typed report. The effort has been directed toward tell ing in a human way those human incidents which made up part of the life of hiking, fighting and eating (as time and rolling kitchens permitted) during a strenuous four months'' service on the battle-line in France.
Perhaps the story of the 112th Infantry, 28th Divi sion, is no more remarkable in many respects than the record of many other infantry regiments at the front. No claim is made that it had better fighters, that it excelled in one specialty or in staying qualities; yet it did possess all those characteristics which go toward making up a real American regiment, fighting fit and ready to fight; that indomitable persistence to plunge ahead which played such a great part in driving the Hun line back to its homeland.
