lin repeling the German attack on
Page 13
Apremont wood, (Toul sector) during the
three days beginning April tenth.
This was the first American regiment
to receive the French war cross. All
the traditions of Bunker Hill, Lexington
and Concord were upheld by these mod
ern "Minute Men.” It was an inspiring
sight as as this entire regiment during
the ceremony formed three sides of a
square, leaving vacant places for their
wounded and fallen comrades. The regi
mental band played "The Star Spangled
Banner” and the “Marseillaise." The
crosses were pinned on the men by
French and American general officrs,
who shook the hand of each recipient.
The entire regiment then marched by the
hill crest, with the band playing and Old
Glory waving.
“Its the best flag in the world today,”
exclaimed a young lieutenant.
