REMAGEN, Germany, March 28, 1919.
GENERAL ORDER.
No. 12
To the Officers and the Men of the 165th Infantry, 42nd Division.
The following extracts from orders and letters commendatory of
the 42nd Division and the 165th Infantry issued by our own Army
and that of our illustrious Ally the French, indicate a deep
appreciation of your worth as soldiers and pay a high tribute to
your valorous conduct on the Fields of Battle.
WILLIAM J. DONOVAN
JOHN P. HURLEY,
Capt. Adj., 165th Infantry.
March 21, 1918.
The Lieut. Colonel Commanding the 13th Group of Chasseurs reports
that in the course of the double _coup de main_ executed in the
night of the 20-21 March, the conduct of the American detachment of
the 165th Regiment has been particularly worthy of commendation,
and that Officers and Soldiers have given proof of an enthusiastic
bravery.
The General Commanding the 164th Division wishes to make known to
all this appreciation, which justifies amply the confidence that we
all have in our allies, a confidence doubled by the friendship and
by the affectionate sympathy that the common life in the Sector has
spontaneously brought into being.
General GAUCHER, Commanding the 164th Division.
April 1, 1918.
From: Commanding General, First Army Corps.
To: Commanding General, 42d Division, A. E. F.
Subject: Commendations.
1. The Chief of the French Military Mission has forwarded to the
Commander-in-Chief, A. E. F., copies of citations and proposals
concerning three officers and eight enlisted men of the 165th
Infantry.
2. The Commander-in-Chief charges me with the conveyance to these
officers and soldiers his particular appreciation of their splendid
conduct, which has won for them these citations from the French
Army.
3. To the appreciation thus conferred by the Commander-in-Chief,
the Corps Commander adds his own and desires that the foregoing be
made known in a suitable manner to the officers and soldiers cited.
By direction,
Malin Craig,
Chief of Staff.
May 21, 1918.
The First Company, under Captain Edart, penetrated the German line
on the night of May 19-20, 1918, and the following night it drove
back with vigor the Germans who came out against us from their
lines, thus maintaining our superiority in morale.
In the course of these operations the American Volunteers (from
Second Battalion, 165th Infantry), who were attached to the Edart
Company displayed the utmost dash and coolness, as well as a
splendid comradeship in battle.
I have the honor to ask for them in recompense the authorization to
cite them in my Regimental Order.
Colonel Jungbluth, Cdt. 67th R. I.
6th ARMY CORPS H. Q. June 15, 1918.
At the moment when the 42nd U. S. Infantry Division is leaving
the Lorraine front, the Commanding General of the 6th Army Corps
desires to do homage to the fine military qualities which it has
continuously exhibited, and to the services which it has rendered
in the Baccarat sector.
The offensive ardor, the sense for the utilization and the
organization of terrain, the spirit of method, the discipline shown
by all its officers and men, the inspiration animating them, prove
that at the first call, they can henceforth take a glorious place
in the new line of battle.
The Commanding General of the 6th Army Corps expresses his deepest
gratitude to the 42nd Division for its precious collaboration; he
particularly thanks the distinguished Commander of this Division,
General Menoher, the Officers under his orders and his Staff so
brilliantly directed by Colonel MacArthur.
It is with a sincere regret that the entire 6th Army Corps sees the
42nd Division depart. But the bonds of affectionate comradeship
which have been formed here will not be broken; for us, in faithful
memory, are united the living and the dead of the Rainbow Division,
those who are leaving for hard combats and those who, after having
nobly sacrificed their lives on this Eastern Border, now rest
there, guarded over piously by France.
These sentiments of warm esteem will be still more deeply affirmed,
during the impending struggles where the fate of Free Peoples is to
be decided.
May our units, side by side, contribute valiantly to the triumph of
Justice and Right:
GENERAL DUPORT.
June 18, 1918.
To: Colonel McCoy,
Commanding 165th Inf. Rgt.
My Dear Colonel McCoy:
I greatly appreciate the kind thought you had in sending me your
order No. 10 relating the numerous citations that have been granted
to the 165th.
The old New York regiment has a great past of glory. I am sure it
will be famous on the battlefields of France as it has been in
America.
I also want to thank you for the kind farewell you gave Captain
Mercier. I know this Officer feels sad in leaving your regiment. He
will keep a precious recollection of the six months he spent with
his gallant Irish comrades.
With the expression of my personal appreciation of your kindness
and my best compliments,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
J. CORBABON,
Major, Liaison Officer,
42nd Division.
4th ARMY H. Q. July 16, 1918.
SOLDIERS OF THE 4TH ARMY
During the day of July 15th, you broke the effort of fifteen German
divisions, supported by ten others.
They were expected according to their orders to reach the Marne in
the evening: You stopped their advance clearly at the point where
we desired to engage in and win the battle.
You have the right to be proud, heroic infantrymen and machine
gunners of the advance posts who met the attack and broke it up,
aviators who flew over it, battalions and batteries which broke it,
staffs which so minutely prepared the battlefield.
It is a hard blow for the enemy. It is a grand day for FRANCE.
I count on you that it may always be the same every time he dares
to attack you; and with all my heart of a soldier, I thank you.
GOURAUD.
21ST ARMY CORPS, July 17, 1918.
170TH DIVISION,
General BERNARD, Commanding par interim the 170th Division.
To the Commanding General of the 42nd U. S. Inf. Division.
The Commanding General of the 170th Infantry Division desires
to express to the Commanding General of the 42nd U. S. Infantry
Division his keen admiration for the courage and bravery of which
the American Battalions of the 83rd Brigade have given proof in the
course of the hard fighting of the 15th and 16th of July, 1918, as
also for the effectiveness of the artillery fire of the 42nd U. S.
Infantry Division.
In these two days the troops of the United States by their
tenacity, largely aided their French comrades in breaking the
repeated assaults of the 7th Reserve Division, the 1st Infantry
Division and the Dismounted Cavalry Guard Division of the Germans:
these latter two divisions are among the best of Germany.
According to the order captured on the German officers made
prisoner, their Staff wished to take Chalon-sur-Marne on the
evening of July 16th, but it had reckoned without the valor of the
American and French combatants, who told them with machine gun,
rifle and cannon shots that they would not pass.
The Commanding General of the 170th Infantry Division is therefore
particularly proud to observe that in mingling their blood
gloriously on the Battlefield of Champagne, the Americans and
the French of today are continuing the magnificent traditions
established a century and a half ago by Washington and Lafayette;
it is with this sentiment that he salutes the Noble Flag of the
United States in thinking of the final Victory.
BERNARD.
21ST ARMY CORPS Hq., July 19, 1918.
GENERAL ORDER
At the moment when the 42nd American Division is on the point
of leaving the 21st Army Corps, I desire to express my keen
satisfaction and my sincere thanks for the service which it has
rendered under all conditions.
By its valor, ardor and spirit, it has very particularly
distinguished itself on July 15th and 16th in the course of the
great battle where the 4th Army broke the German offensive on the
CHAMPAGNE front.
I am proud to have had it under my orders during this period; my
prayers accompany it in the great struggle engaged in for the
Liberty of the World.
GENERAL NAULIN,
Commanding the 21st Army Corps.
6TH ARMY P. C., July 26, 1918.
NOTE.
The PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, in the course of a visit to the 6th
Army, expressed his satisfaction over the results obtained, as well
as for the qualities of valor and perseverance manifested by all
units of the Army.
The Commanding General of the 6th Army, is happy to transmit to
the troops of his Army the felicitations of the PRESIDENT OF THE
REPUBLIC.
Signed: GENERAL DEGOUTTE.
July 28, 1918.
From: Commanding General, 1st Army Corps, Am. E. F.
To: Commanding General, 42nd Division, Am. E. F.
Subject: Congratulations:
1. The return of the 42nd Division to the 1st Army Corps was a
matter of self-congratulation for the Corps Commander, not only
because of previous relations with the Division, but also because
of the crisis which existed at the time of its arrival.
2. The standard of efficient performance of duty which is
demanded by the Commander-in-Chief, American E. F., is a high
one, involving as it does on an occasion such as the present
complete self-sacrifice on the part of the entire personnel, and a
willingness to accept cheerfully every demand even to the limit of
endurance of the individual for the sake of the Cause for which we
are in France.
3. The taking over of the front of the 1st Army Corps under the
conditions of relief and advance, together with the attendant
difficulties incident to widening the front, was in itself no
small undertaking, and there is added to this your advance in the
face of the enemy to a depth of five or more kilometers, all under
cover of darkness, to the objective laid down by higher authority
to be attained, which objective you were holding, regardless of
the efforts of the enemy to dislodge you. The Corps Commander is
pleased to inform you that the 42nd Division has fully measured
up to the high standard above referred to, and he reiterates his
self-congratulation that you and your organization are again a part
of the 1st Army Corps., Am. E. F.
(Signed) H. LIGGETT,
Major General, U. S. A.
6TH ARMY P. C. August 9, 1918.
GENERAL ORDER.
Before the great offensive of the 18th of July, the American troops
forming part of the 6th French Army distinguished themselves in
capturing from the enemy the Bois de la Brigade De Marine and the
village of VAUX, in stopping his offensive on the MARNE and at
FOSSOY.
Since then, they have taken the most glorious part in a second
battle of the MARNE, rivaling in order and in valiance the French
troops. They have, in twenty days of incessant combat, liberated
numerous French villages and realized across a difficult country
an advance of forty kilometers, which has carried them beyond the
VESLES.
Their glorious marches are marked by names which will illustrate in
the future, the military history of the United States:
TORCY, BELLEAU, Plateau d’ENREPILLY, EPIEDS, Le CHARMEL, l’OURCQ,
SERINGES et NESLES, SERGY, La VESLE and FISMES.
The new divisions who were under fire for the first time showed
themselves worthy of the old war-like traditions of the Regular
Army. They have had the same ardent desire to fight the Boche,
the same discipline by which an order given by the Chief is
always executed, whatever be the difficulties to overcome and the
sacrifices to undergo.
The magnificent results obtained are due to the energy and skill of
the Chiefs, to the bravery of the soldiers.
I am proud to have commanded such troops.
The General Commanding the 6th Army,
DEGOUTTE.
Headquarters, 42nd Division,
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES, FRANCE,
August 13, 1918.
TO THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE 42ND DIVISION:
A year has elapsed since the formation of your organization. It
is, therefore, fitting to consider what you have accomplished as a
combat division and what you should prepare to accomplish in the
Future.
Your first elements entered the trenches in Lorraine on February
21st. You served on that front for 110 days. You were the first
American division to hold a divisional sector and when you left
the sector June 21st, you had served continuously as a division in
the trenches for a longer time than any other American division.
Although you entered the sector without experience in actual
warfare, you so conducted yourselves as to win the respect and
affection of the French veterans with whom you fought. Under gas
and bombardment, in raids, in patrols, in the heat of hand-to-hand
combat, and in the long, dull hours of trench routine so trying to
a soldier’s spirit, you bore yourselves in a manner worthy of the
traditions of our country.
You were withdrawn from Lorraine and moved immediately to the
Champagne front, where, during the critical days from July 14th to
July 18th, you had the honor of being the only American division
to fight in General Gouraud’s Army, which so gloriously obeyed his
order: “We will stand or die,” and by its iron defense crushed the
German assaults and made possible the offensive of July 18th to the
west of Reims.
From Champagne you were called to take part in exploiting the
success north of the Marne. Fresh from the battle front before
Chalons, you were thrown against the picked troops of Germany. For
eight consecutive days, you attacked skillfully prepared positions.
You captured great stores of arms and munitions. You forced the
crossings of the Ourcq. You took Hill 212, Sergy, Meurcy Farm and
Seringes by assault. You drove the enemy, including an Imperial
Guard Division, before you for a depth of fifteen kilometers.
When your infantry was relieved, it was in full pursuit of the
retreating Germans, and your artillery continued to progress and
support another American division in the advance to the Vesle.
For your services in Lorraine, your division was formally commended
in General Orders by the French Army Corps under which you served.
For your services in Champagne, your assembled officers received
the personal thanks and commendation of General Gouraud himself.
For your service on the Ourcq, your division was officially
complimented in a letter from the Commanding General, 1st Army
Corps, of July 28th, 1918.
To your success, all ranks and all services have contributed, and
I desire to express to every man in the command my appreciation of
his devoted and courageous effort.
However, our position places a burden of responsibility upon us
which we must strive to bear steadily forward without faltering.
To our comrades who have fallen, we owe the sacred obligation
of maintaining the reputation which they died to establish. The
influence of our performance on our Allies and on our enemies can
not be over estimated, for we were one of the first divisions sent
from our country to France to show the world that Americans can
fight.
Hard battles and long campaigns lie before us. Only by ceaseless
vigilance and tireless preparation can we fit ourselves for them.
I urge you, therefore, to approach the future with confidence, but
above all, with firm determination that so far as it is in your
power you will spare no effort, whether in training or in combat,
to maintain the record of our division and the honor of our country.

SUMMARY OF INTELLIGENCE.
October, 1918.
On October 18, 1917, one year ago today, the Headquarters and
certain of the elements of the 42nd Division sailed for France....
The Division is now engaged in the most difficult task to which
it has yet been set: The piercing at its apex of the “Kriemhilde
Stellung,” upon the defense of which position the German line from
METZ to CHAMPAGNE depends.
During its service in France, Division Headquarters has had its
Post of Command at 23 different points in towns, woods and dugouts.
The Division has captured prisoners from 23 enemy divisions,
including three Guard and one Austro-Hungarian divisions.
CHARLES T. MENOHER,
Major General, U. S. Army.
HEADQUARTERS 42d DIVISION.
American Expeditionary Forces. France.
November 11th, 1918.
To the Officers and Men of the 42nd Division:
On the 13th of August I addressed you a letter summarizing the
record of your achievements in Lorraine, before Chalons and on
the Ourcq. On the occasion of my leaving the Division I wish to
recall to you your services since that time and to express to you
my appreciation of the unfailing spirit of courage and cheerfulness
with which you have met and overcome the difficult tasks which have
confronted you.
After leaving the region of Chateau Thierry you had scarcely been
assembled in your new area when you were ordered to advance by
hard night marches to participate in the attack of the St. Mihiel
Salient. In this first great operation of the American Army you
were instructed to attack in the center of the Fourth Army Corps
and to deliver the main blow in the direction of the heights
overlooking the Madine River. In the battle that followed you took
every objective in accordance with the plan of the Army Commander.
You advanced fourteen kilometers in twenty-eight hours. You pushed
forward advance elements five kilometers further, or nineteen
kilometers beyond your original starting point. You took more than
one thousand prisoners from nine enemy divisions. You captured
seven villages and forty-two square kilometers of territory. You
seized large supplies of food, clothing, ammunition, guns and
engineering material.
Worn though you were by ceaseless campaigning since February, you
then moved to the Verdun region to participate in the great blow
which your country’s armies have struck west of the Meuse. You
took Hill 283, La Tuilerie Farm and the Cote de Chatillon and
broke squarely across the powerful Kriemhilde Stellung, clearing
the way for the advance beyond St. Georges and Landres et St.
Georges. Marching and fighting day and night you thrust through the
advancing lines of the forward troops of the First Army. You drove
the enemy across the Meuse. You captured the heights dominating
the River before Sedan and reached in the enemy lines the farthest
points attained by any American troops.
Since September 12th you have taken over twelve hundred prisoners;
you have freed twenty-five French villages; you have recovered over
one hundred and fifty square kilometers of French territory and you
have captured great supplies of enemy munitions and material.
Whatever may come in the future, the men of this Division will
have the proud consciousness that they have thus far fought
wherever the American flag has flown most gloriously in this war.
In the determining battle before Chalons, in the bloody drive from
Chateau Thierry to the Vesle, in the blotting out of the St. Mihiel
Salient, and in the advance to Sedan you have played a splendid and
a leading part.
I know that you will give the same unfailing support to whoever may
succeed me as your Commander, and that you will continue to bear
forward without faltering the colors of the Rainbow Division. I
leave you with deep and affectionate regret, and I thank you again
for your loyalty to me and your services to your country. You have
struck a vital blow in the greatest war in history. You have proved
to the world in no mean measure that our country can defend its own.
CHARLES T. MENOHER,
Major General, U. S. Army.
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES,
Office of the Commander-in-Chief.
France, March 22, 1919.
Major General Clement A. F. Flagler,
Commanding 42nd Division,
American E. F.,
Ahrweiler, Germany.
My Dear General Flagler:
It afforded me great satisfaction to inspect the 42nd Division at
Remagen on March 16th, during my trip through the Third Army, and
to extend at that time to the officers and men my appreciation of
their splendid record while in France.
The share which the 42nd Division has had in the success of our
Armies should arouse pride in its achievements among all ranks.
Arriving as it did on November 1, 1917, it was one of the first of
our combat divisions to participate in active operations. After a
period of training which lasted through the middle of February,
1918, it entered the Lunéville sector in Lorraine, and shortly
afterwards took up a position in that part of the line near
Baccarat. In July it magnificently showed its fighting ability
in the Champagne-Marne defensive, at which time units from the
42nd Division aided the French in completely repulsing the German
attack. Following this, on July 25th, the Division relieved the
28th in the Aisne-Marne offensive, and in the course of their
action there captured La Croix Rouge Farme, Sergy, and established
themselves on the northern side of the Ourcq. In the St. Mihiel
offensive the division made a rapid advance of 19 kilometers,
capturing seven villages. Later, during the Meuse-Argonne battle,
it was twice put in the line, first under the 5th Corps and second
under the 1st Corps, at which later time it drove back the enemy
until it arrived opposite Sedan on November 7th.
Since the signing of the armistice, the 42nd Division has had the
honor of being one of those composing the Army of Occupation, and I
have only words of praise for their splendid conduct and demeanor
during this time. I want each man to realize the part he has
played in bringing glory to American arms and to understand both
my pride and the pride of their fellows throughout the American
Expeditionary Forces in their record. My good wishes accompany your
command on its return to the United States, and my interest will
remain with its members in their future careers.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) JOHN J. PERSHING.

FOOTNOTES:
[6] After the Champagne fight, by request of the French military
authorities, a number of officers and men were recommended for
decoration, including Major Anderson for the Legion of Honor. The
lists were lost while going through the French Army channels, but it
is still hoped that the honors will be granted.

APPENDIX
IRISH NAMES
Since returning home I have read with great interest the unique
historical study of Mr. Michael J. O’Brien on the part played by the
Irish in the early history of the Colonies and particularly in the
Revolutionary War, founded on an exhaustive examination of Irish
names inscribed in army rosters and other records of the period. In
order to avoid the suspicion of over-playing his hand, Mr. O’Brien
had to confine himself to names like his own, which undeniably
indicate Irish birth or descent. He must have passed over many names
which are common in every group of Irish throughout the world.
If we take only the names which have become prominent in the recent
endeavors to establish the independence of Ireland—De Valera and
Marcoviecz do not sound particularly Irish (even the militant lady’s
maiden name of Gore-Booth does not much improve the matter); and
while Kelly, Ryan, Dunn and Duffy are to the manner born, there
was a time when Walsh, Pearse, and Plunkett were foreign names,
Norman or Danish; and Kent, McNeil and Griffiths might very well be
respectively English, Scotch or Welsh.
In the Regiment we had some good men of Scottish descent, but we
had a number who volunteered for the Regiment drawn by Irish race
feeling, bearing the names of Johnston, Cowie, Wilson, Bailey,
Armstrong, Saunders, Campbell, Thompson, Chambers, Gordon, Ross,
Scott, Watson, Stewart, Christy, Finlay, Grimson, Hamilton, Barr,
Graham, Gillespie, Black, Walker, Catterson, Robinson, Holmes, Grant,
Dunbar, Fraser, Kirk, Patterson, Gould, Wylie, Robinson, Roberts,
Donaldson, Ferguson, McMillan, McDonald, McGregor, McPherson,
Ogilvie, Craig, Cameron, McAndrews, McLean, McKay, MacIntosh, not
forgetting our Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Anderson.
We had three or four score Jews in the Regiment that went abroad but
there was a Coen, a Leavy and a Jacobs who were Irish.
Other regimental names that do not sound Irish to the ears of the
uninitiate but are familiar in every Irish group are Clifford, Duane,
Clark, Freeman, Winters, Phillips, Williams, Cunningham, Curtis,
Johnson, Gough, Harrison, Grace, Jones, Loftus, Medler, Matthews,
Morrison, Newman, King, Crawford, Biggar, Bambrick, Ring, Rice,
Blythe, Gray, Judge, Morgan, Caulfield, Gilbert, Gilgar, Campion,
Booth, Humphreys, Cook, Hill, Parks, Hunt, Garland, Gill, Warren,
Reed, Hurst, Jenkins, Rogers, Grimes, Summers, Smith, Green, Brown,
White, Martin, Mason, Lowe, Roe, Wade, Woods, Goodman, Fleming,
French, English, Holland, Thornton, Wall, Travis, Travers, Morgan,
Fletcher, Clinton, Richards, Jennings, Lynn, Taylor, Reynolds,
Grundy, Stanley, Turner, Edwards, Dean, Meade, Conville, Ward,
Clayton, Eustace, Lavelle, Clyne, Battle, Nelson, Wynne, Coppinger,
Morton, Oakes, Fullam, Lynott, Lynar, Lysaght, Long, Fennell, Tuers,
Birmingham, Hetherington, Temple, Whitty, Granville, Howard, Bealin,
Stanley, Vaughan, Adams, Nash, Coneys, Mylott, Brickley, Mitchell,
Diamond, De Witt, Hopkins, Quigg, Igo, Taylor, Ferris, Ledwith,
Forrestal, Lever, Hoey, Fox, Russell, Sutcliffe, Hillery, Fisher,
Kent, Boyce, Bevan, Rothwell, Adkins, Courtney, Mannix, Orr, Harris,
Farnan, Hackett, Hopkins, Gaynor, Gunn, Broe, Bush, Goss, Wilde, Cox,
Seagriff, Marshall, Davis, Bergen, Singleton, Rankin, Webb, Small.
Not all of the possessors of these names in the Regiment were bearers
of the Irish racial tradition, but the great majority of them were.
Sometimes the English sounding name was imported directly from
Ireland, and the man’s nationality was never in doubt after one heard
him speak, as in the case of Mansfield, Bugler, Maddock, Elwood, and
others. Sometimes all doubt was removed by the Christian name, as in
the cases of Patrick Ames, Patrick Stokes, Patrick Thynne, Patrick
Porteous, Patrick Carlisle, Patrick Benson, Patrick Travers, Patrick
Fawcett, Patrick Gorham, Patrick Masterson, or Michael Goodman,
Michael Douglas, Michael Bowler, Michael Gettings, Denis Richardson,
Bernard Clinton, Robert Emmett Mitchell, Bernard Granville, Francis
X. Goodwin, John J. Booth.
The future historian who writes of the part played by the Irish
element in this war will have a good deal of trouble collecting his
data, partly on account of the tendency to bestow on children what
our grandparents would call “fancy” names, and partly through the
intermarriage of women with Irish names to men whose names indicate
a different racial descent. Especially when the religion is the
same, the children are very definitely Irish in race feeling. All
of the following had the Irish kind of religion, and most of them
claim to be of Irish descent; George Lawrence, James Archer, Wilton
Wharton, Colton Bingham, Sherwood Orr, Melvin King, Earl Withrow,
Lester Lenhart, Archibald Skeats, Dudley Winthrop, Warren Dearborn,
Hurlburt McCallum, Harold Yockers, Dallas Springer, Joyce Kilmer,
Clifford Wiltshire, Pelham Hall, Elmore Becker, Everett Guion, Lester
Snyder; while others in the same category bore names such as Dayton,
Lovett, Lappin, Trayer, Shepherd, Harndon, Harnwell, Ashworth,
Bradbury, Everett, Adikes, Keyes, Boone, Bibby, Beverly, Aspery,
Cornell, Morthurst, Battersby, Dawson, Chamberlain, Cousens, Hasting,
Blackburne, Griswold, Bagley, Forman, Myers, Nye, Firman, Weaver,
Irons, Garrett, Kyle, Forms, Kear, Alnwick, Boomer, Dobbins, Ogden,
Dresser, Frear, Bennett, Cooper, Gracely, Schofield, Fredericks,
Walters, Voorhis, Chatterton, Kolodgy, Law, Vail, Field, Throop,
Menrose, Hawk, Waddell, Drake, Flint, Elworth, Maryold, Knott,
Hagger, Espy, Cuffe, Peel, Stiles, Willett, Leaper, Gauthier and
Denair.
A number of volunteers were drawn to the old Irish Regiment by the
bonds of a common faith. And in the course of two years spent amongst
them it was an easier matter while performing my office as Chaplain
to get a line on their personal beliefs than on their racial descent.
We had for example Guignon, Bonnard, Pierre, Viens, and Pepin;
Mendes, Echeverria, Rodriguez and Garcia; Gardella, Brangaccio,
Georgi, Lorelli, Guida, Menicocci, Tricarico, Depietro and Speranza;
Romanuk, Ragninny, Hovance, Sypoula, Puttlitz and Ivanowski, with
plenty of names like Arenholz, Schmidt, Stumpf, Dietrich, Weick,
Schmedlein, Schluter, Leudesdorf and Kahn. Some with names sounding
just like these last ones were Irish on the distaff side, such as
Almendinger, Winestock, Schwartz, Ettinger, Schroppel, Mehl, Rohrig,
Peisel, Hans, Landzert, Clauberg, Ritz, Steinert, Messmer, Zimmerman,
Finger, Richter, Herold, Schick, Buechner, Sauer, Beyer, Haerting,
Meyer, Roesel, Willermin, Miller, Dryer, Hugo, Wilker, Fisher,
Staber, Augustine, Dierenger, Morschhauser, Ritter, Haspel, Becker,
and Grauer.
Two small groups of “Irish” struck my fancy—one with Scandinavian
names like Drivdahl, Malmquist, and Larsen; and a few of the Vans;
Van Pelt, Vanderdonck, Van Wye and Van Benschoten.
One way of estimating the character of the regiment would be to
examine the lists of the dead, to find what names preponderate
in them. In those lists we find _seven_ men named Kelly; _five_
McCarthy; _four_ O’Neill, O’Brien, and Brennan; _three_ Baker,
Brown, Campbell, Cook, Cronin, Daly, Kane, Lynch, McDonald, McKeon,
McLoughlin, Martin, Murphy, O’Connor, O’Rourke, Scanlan, Smith,
Sullivan and Wynne; _two_ Adkins, Allen, Ames, Boyle, Byrnes,
Collins, Coneys, Connelly, Conway, Curtin, Dolan, Dunnigan, Donovan,
Dougherty, Farrell, Fitzpatrick, Ford, Gavin, Geary, Gordon, Gray,
Gunnell, Hamilton, Hart, Higgins, Johnson, Lane, Leonard McMillan,
McKay, McKenna, McSherry, Mahoney, Minogue, Mitchell, Morrissey,
Naughton, Peterson, Philips, Quinn, Reilly, Riordon, Robinson,
Rooney, Ryan, Scott, Slattery, Thomson, Williams and Walsh.
