General Order I.
(From the Field.)
To the Officers and Men of the
38th U. S. Infantry.
The Colonel commanding the regiment wishes to praise you for the
heroic manner in which you took your baptism of fire on July 15, 1918,
upon the banks of the Marne. No regiment in the history of our nation
has ever shown a finer spirit or performed a greater deed.
Let us cherish within our hearts the memory of our fallen comrades.
Salute them! Then forward!
