K. Williams* president ofDthe Minis
terial Association, who has stood
many an attack before, while serving
in the “Lost Battalion” of the 77th
division, as the youngest chaplain in
the American army.
Before the war began Williams
went to school in the quiet and
peaceful hills of North Georgia.
When the United States entered the
war he entered the services as chap
lain. . '
Chaplain Williams was placed in
the 77th division, which was made up
mostly of New Yorkers, Westerners .
and a few Southerners, under the
command of Major Robert Alexander
who was later promoted to the rank
of Major General. Throughout his en
tire service Williams remained in
this famous division, with the dis
tinction of. being the youngest chap
lain in the army. ' i
This division was made famous by
its remarkable achievements during
the war, being the only division in
the entire American army which re
mained on the front from the time
of its arrival until the signing of the
armistice’.
Then during its stay at Jthe front,
the men of the 77th captured moire
miles of- enemy territory than any
other division in Francd.
The well known “Lost Battalion”
was from the ranks of this division,
and numbered about 500 men in com
mand of Colonel Whittlesy. These •
men were ordered to take a certain
hill in the Argonne offensive and
were completely cut off by the Ger
mans from the American and French
troops. Thv.y were thus isolated for
five days with only one day’s supply
of emergency ration. Airplanes were
tried as a means by which food could
be sent them, but this only gave the
enemy’s. guns the position of the lost
men and it was abandoned.
Another offensive was successfully
launched and the “Lost Battalion”
rescued 1 only after 109 had been
killed and a large number wounded.
After the armistice was signed in
November, the men of the 77th divi
sion were relieved for the first time
and sent to southern'France.-.
Colonel George Harvey, present
American Ambassador to Great
Britain, was at the very time the
Lost Battalion was trapped; an offi
cer in the 77th division and was on
the front taking part in this oflfen-
local supporters, and it is estimated
that there will be a larger attendance j s jve, and doubtless would have been
