Our link with the general whose loss we mourn here is owed our fond recoll- ection of the intense period in which he pre- sided over the Sixty- Ninth Division's being made ready for battle,and the long years following, during which the bonds forged in Mississippi be- tween the general and ourselves were only strengthened, but we pay honor, too, to his splen- did career, in France, seventy years ago, with |
the Fourth Division, and
during our own war in command of the Thirty- Fourth Division in Italy, and before and after that in peacetime, with the famous Fifteenth Infantry in China, at the Command and General Staff School, the Army War College, and at the head of the Sev- enth Army and then the American Army in Europe itself, from which he re- turned home to retire as Vice - Chief of Staff. |
