Attached to the 92nd Division was the first colored Signal Corps
ever organized. It was known as the 325th Signal Battalion. They
were assembled during the months of December and January, 1917–18,
respectively, and after five months’ training were sent to France.
After an additional period of training at Voisey, Haute Marne, they
were sent to the Vosges Mountains, and afterwards to the Argonne, where
they engaged in actual warfare; they were in the Marbache Sector,
near Metz, when the Armistice was signed. They were commended highly
both by the French and American High Command, and some of them were
cited for bravery, and decorated with the Croix de Guerre. In the
92nd Division a total number of 14 officers and 42 men were cited for
bravery.
