Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Co. C, 127th Infantry, in the World War: A Story of the 32nd Division and a Complete History of the Part Taken by Co. C
As an individual, your part in the world war has been an important one in the sum total of our achievements. Whether keeping lonely vigil in the trenches, or gallantly storming the enemy's stronghold; whether enduring monotonous drudgery at the rear, or sustaining the fighting line at the front, each has bravely and efficiently played his part. By willing sacrifice of personal rights; by cheerful endurance of hardship and privation; by vigor, strength and in domitable will, made effective by thorough organization and cordial co-opera tion, you inspired the war-worn Allies with new life and turned the tide of threatened defeat into overwhelming victory.
With a consecrated devotion to duty and will to conquer, you have loy ally served your country. By your exemplary conduct a standard has been established and maintained never before attained by any army. With mind and body as clean and strong as the decisive blows you delivered against the foe, you are soon to return to the pursuits of peace. In leaving the scenes of your victories, may I ask that you carry home your high ideals and con tinue to live as you have served - an honor to the principles for which you have fought and to the fallen comrades you leave behind.
