Especially, and unceasingly, was he solicitous for the physical and moral welfare of the men, in no way abating discipline, but constantly seeking to obtain for them the best conditions of life under the circumstances.

Oa the eve of its demobilization, tlie DiviBion Cominander desirei to express his deep appreciation of the constant and loyal support given him by the officers and men of every orgajiization in the Division. Due to their devotion to duty, often under most adverse conditions, tniiitary efficiency, discipline and esprit have been maintained at the highest standard. Notwithstanding the bitter disappointment universally felt over the failure of the Division to sec active service, as a unit, in the front line, there has been an intense feeling of pride in the splendid achievements of the thousands of replacements sent to combat divisions. These men have, without exception, displayed the highest tjTpe of soldierly tearing and won the admiration and commendations of their superiors. 2. We shall never cease to revere the memory of the large number who so cheerfully made the supreme sacrifice. We also extend our syn^jathy and grateful actoowledgement to the still larger number who cane out of the terrible conflict wounded and disahled. 3. It is e. keen satisfaction to Icnow that there is nothing in the record of the 40th (Sunshine) Division which does not reflect credit upon its personnel. The undersigned is proud to have had the honor of conmand-' ing such a sterling body of American Troops, and his heart is filled with sincere affection for the officers and men who have endeared themselves to him in so many ways. 4. May good fortune and happiness be the just rev/ard of those who ■e rendered such faithful and meritorious service to their Country. have F. S. STRONG Major General, USA., OFFICIAL: Com;-nanding. T.K.

J. Loriot, French Mission, which is sent by him to the 40th Division at the moment when he is about to be separated from those with whom he has been work- ing for the last year and a half. Captain Loriot leaves the 40th Division upon its departure for the United States. With his departure the Division loses a warm friend, a tireless worker for its welfare, a most valuable instructor, and one whom all have learned to love for his cheerful and invaluable service. Captain Loriot has been a part of the 40th Division almost from its organization and his loss will be felt by all who have been fortunate enough to have known hi m as a friend or as an instructor. Castres, February 15, 1919. Major General Frederick S, Strong, Commanding 40th Division, A.E.F. Dear Sir: At the moment when all the members of the Sunshine Division are getting ready to sail back to their homes, I cannot help expressing to you, all my grief in seeing you leave. I am proud to have been attached to the Division and to have had the honor to accompany it to France. Its achievements will be clearly shown when the losses amongst the replacements sent to the front are known. Keeping close to the big ideals of this war, every one put conscience and duty first. I want to express to every member and especially to you who showed so much kindness towards me, all my thankfulness for the confidence placed in me and especially for the friendly spirit of every one. My stay with the Sunshine Division will always remain amongst my great- est recollections and in the moments of hardship its insignia will always bring to me the comfort of the happy hours of golden memories. 1 hope those who come back to France will try to locate me through the Guaranty Trust Co. in Paris. I shall be glad to greet them, help them and chat a while on Camp Kearny and California. Allow me to express to you and everyone my most sincere wishes of good luck. Vive la Sunshine Division!

These of- ficers brought to us the experience of three years of war. Unremittingly they toiled to give us the benefit of that experience. In no small degree was the success of our training period due to their assistance. The perfectness of cooperation between these two missions and the division was symbolic of that unity between the Allied Nations which finally was to accomplish victory.

FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 25 HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE "SUNSHINE" DIVISION There is a vast difference between 27,000 men and a division. There is a vast dif- ference between 27,000 trained soldiers and a division. A division is a living organism partaking a distinct individuality and a particular spirit. It is the aggregate of the in- dividuals, but it is something more. Napoleon, perhaps not the greatest idealist in history, stated that in war the moral is to the physical as three is to one. The great- est difference between a simple aggregation of 27,000 men and a division is a moral differ- ence. Tactically a division is the largest body of troops of all arms that can travel upon one road and deploy for battle in one day. Morally a division is a team developed to the highest state of technical efficiency, charged with the loftiest aspirations and the most intense patriotism, and bound with a confraternity of spirit which can only come from a common service of a great cause. What was the constitution of the 40th Division? It was the bone and sinew of the great west, full of its boldness, replete with its spirit of initiative and practicality. Ari- zona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. Each of these states, in territory about two-thirds the size of France, is set aloft on the great Rocky Mountain plateau, that tops the American continent, or borders the mighty Pacific. These men of the 40th Division partook of the character of the country from which they came. They were of unsurpassed physique, hardy and enduring. They came from the ranches and the mines, from the forests and the factory, from the vineyards and the marts of com- merce. Every practical handicraft, every business, every learned profession, was repre" resented. and an analysis of its personnel would show the division to contain all the ele- ments that go to make up our highly intricate modern civilization. And it is well that this is so, because modern war is simply the application of all the means and forces of civilization in conflict of nations between nations. Now that the war is over, it is difficult in retrospect to visualize the eagerness and intensity which our soldiers brought to the problem of training after the outbreak of the war. This division had a great advantage over many units in the fact that the National Guard units which formed its foundation had attained a high degree of efficiency during the mobilization of the National Guard on the Mexican border. But they came with undiminished enthusiasm to the task of training in the specific technique of the highly complicated tactics of the European war. Favored by the climate of southern California, they did not lose training owing to the inclemency of winter weather. Possibly this can be said of no other division in the army. The great aviation training camps at North Island were available for ranging work with the Artillery Brigade, and liaison training with the Infantry, This was an advantage denied to most, if not all, the other divisions of the army and gave it a special advantage in technical training for war in Europe. It can be said that no Artillery Brigade attained a more complete degree of excellency before going to Europe and that no Infantry was better seasoned. None can overstate the degree of enthusiasm, the persistency of effort, the completeness of cooperation, that combined to build the high esprit which characterized the Fortieth. How much loyalty, how much earnest effort, were poured out in unstinted measure to forge a weapon that should be worthy of its country and its section, only those can realize who shared in the labor. All looked forward with confidence and anticipation to the supreme moment when the division should enter the lists of battle in vindication of the high cause to which it was summoned. But by the fortunes of war, it was called to a role of abnegation and self sacrifice more difficult than the trials of the hardest campaign. When the division arrived in Europe, the enemy had completed a great series of smashing drives which started on the 21st of March and ended with his last fatal attack of July 1 5th. The Supreme Allied Command had instituted its counter-offensive between Soissons and Chateau Thierry on July 18th, and was planning the chain of furious assaults which were to break Ger- many's back and end the war. Other divisions had been fortunate in arriving in France 26 HISTORY OF THE earlier, thus preceding us to battle. In playing their high role, they had suffered great casualties and there arose the problem of filling the depleted ranks. The cruel, but es- sential, solution was that our division had to make a vicarious sacrifice and was denied the long anticipated reward of entering the battle line. That the divisions on the line might carry on the fight. 1 1 .000 of our men had to be stripped from us to help other di- visions write their pages of glory. At first the bitterness of our disappointment was su- preme and unalloyed. But we played the game and did with loyalty what we were or- dered to do. We are still disappointed and always shall be, but will not a true analysis show that we played our part and contributed a full share to the success of our nation's arms? Nothing can take away the disappointment of the individual officer and soldier who was denied the privilege of striking a direct blow. But this in no whit detracts from the credit due for making effective the blows of others. When Americans barred the way to the enemy in the region of Chateau Thierry, men of the 40th Division were there. With the 26th Division, or Yankee Division, re- placements from the 40th Division stood in the trenches in the Toul sector, fought in Foch's epic battle of mid July, stormed the Bois des Fparges at the battle of St. Mihiel, raced down the Grande Tranchee de Calonne on the famous night march that brought junction between the two attacking American forces and cut off thousands of German prisoners, and fought to the last in the operations of this division north of Verdun, which ended with the armistice November I 1th, Our machine gunners gained the highest commendation of their commanders in the 32nd Division, made up originally of the Na- tional Guard of Michigan and Wisconsin. They fought with the 32nd in its brilliant and glorious storming of the Kriemhilde Stellung, the last organized line of the enemy defense south of the Meuse. Four thousand of our men went to fill the ranks of the 77th National Army Division, recruited from New York, and drove forward with the 77th in its remarkable advance through the Argonne forest to the left bank of the Meuse, southeast of Sedan. The officers of the 77th Division testified in glowing terms to the splendid deportment of these men of the west. Also 2,000 40th Division men went to the 28th Division iN. G. Pennsylvania), 1,000 to the 81st and 2,000 to the 80th, 82d and 89th Divisions. In no grudging sense, in no spirit of narrow sectionalism, do we say it, but when our fellow countrymen from other sections of the country rightly acclaim the high deeds of the divisions that were associated with their community, we suggest that it be re- membered that the lives of thousands of the incomparable sons of the west were laid down to write their pages of glory. Not in a spirit of detraction, not in a spirit of criti- cism, but in a spirit of fraternity, we emphasize the fact that the great military traditions established in this war, which will be treasured in New England, in New York, in Penn- sylvania, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, and many other places, were created in part by men of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. Thus it was not given to the Sunshine Division, as we have seen, to stand as a unit to light up the smoke of battle with the torch of western valor and western patriotism, so that all might see and acknowledge. But loving eyes and proud hearts see beneath the surface. We watched the ebb and flow of battle. With solicitude we saw the young American army hurled in the furnace of the decisive campaign of the war. We saw division after division leap forward to the battle, advance gloriously against stout re- sistance and enormous obstacles and retire from the line with great gaps in its ranks. The battle must continue. The enemy must not be given a moment. Two hundred here, three thousand there, in groups of hundreds, or in groups of thousands, they were thrown into the gaps — these men of our 40th Division. Had they been found wanting, the results would have been disastrous. But well trained, as we know they were, and mspired by what we like to believe was an especially high morale that characterized our division, they brought confidence and encouragement with them wherever they went. Their graves are on every field that bears witness to the valor of American arms in Europe. They now bear worthily and loyally the insignia of the most noted organiza- FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 27 tions in our army. As they carried away from us our abiding and affectionate interest, we know they have carried with them an abiding and affectionate loyalty to the organiza- tion that trained them and sent them forth. And what of the officers and men who stayed with the Division? They were denied the privilege of coming to personal grips with the enemy but always, until the armistice, they lived in expectation of the time when the Division should take its place in the line as a combat division. In the United States, new divisions had been formed and were rap- idly completing the period of training. General Strong had received assurance that one of the younger divisions coming later from the United States would take the place of the 40th, which would be released from its replacement function and moved forward to the zone of battle. Thus, through all the days at La Guerche and Revigny the grinding routine was brightened by the thought that soon the Division would move up to the fight. But the Armistice of November 1 1th dissipated this hope forever. As the Army of Occupation went forward to the Rhine other divisions, including the 40th. withdrew to billeting areas to await opportunity for embarkation for the United States. From Revigny, the Division journeyed to its billeting area south of Bordeaux, among the vine- yards, chateaux and hospitable people of southwestern France. On February 20th, 1919, General Strong sailed from Bordeaux, the rest of the Division, except the Artillery Bri- gade, which had sailed previously, following after. Back across the Atlantic, then tra- versing the American Continent, the 40th has come home to Camp Kearny, and other demobilization points in the West, to muster out and return to the body of the virile popu- lation from whence it came. Officially the Division is no more, but to us who made and loved it, it will always endure. The 40th Division has fulfilled worthily its mission. * * * * Ik- General Strong wrote to the Commanding Generals of several divisions to which the 40th Division had furnished replacements, asking for an expression of opinion as to the quality of these replacements. Some of the replies are quoted as follows: "The reports received from the various company commanders are extremely flat- tering concerning the men received from the 40th Division. In almost every instance the Company Commanders state that the men arrived in excellent condition, that the condition of their arms and equipment was good and that they compare very favorably with other men of the organization in training and adaptability. In many casesit wasstated that they were the best replacements we received. Practically all of them participated in the operations of this regiment in the Argonne and the Meuse and rendered an excel- lent account cf themselves. As far as we learned, the following casualties were suffered: Killed in Action— 53; Wounded— 168; Missing— 10." * * * * * "The general consensus of opinions of the Company Commanders throughout the Regiment, concerning the replacements, received from the 40th Division, is that they were a grade above the usual replacements received, in that they showed already the train- ing and discipline received while still members of their old Division. Their clothing and equipment was in most cases in very good conditions and the men were instructed in the care of the same. They participated to some extent in the Meuse-Argonne offensive and reflected credit to both their old and new Division. The casualties, as far as can be as- certained were as follows: Killed 19; Wounded — 95; and Missing in Action — 2." **■*•*• "These men, upon reporting to the organization, showed very good training. They have been in training varying from five to thirteen months, comparing very favorably with that of other replacements received. Discipline also was excellent." ***** "They compared favorably in training and discipline with any other replacements received by us and were considerably better in discipline than some received. Were present with the battalion in the last battle east of the Meuse." ***** 28 HISTORY OF THE One General Officer writes as follows: "The soldiers received from the Camp Kearny replacement draft were among the very best of any of the drafts from the United States to this division." * * ♦ ♦ * A Regimental Commander says, "Practically all of the men received from the 40th Division participated in the action in which this regiment was engaged during November 9th, 1 0th, 1 Ith, 1918, and their conduct was above reproach. These men had not been in ccmbat prior to their assignment to this regiment. ***** Another. "All men participated in the actions and handled themselves extremely well." ***** Another, "In the attack of November 9th, these men were steadier than the average of the company." ***** Another. "Training and discipline better than other replacements sent to this or- ganization." ***** Another, "These men were far above the average replacements received by us. The men received showed evidence of having had training and discipline." ***** Another Captain, "The men were the best replacements ever received in this or- ganization. These men participated in the advance on November 9th west of Haudio- mont." ***** Another, "These men conducted themselves in excellent manner on the front under fire." ***** "They averaged better than the other replacement troops. ***** "Training and discipline compared favorably with all other replacements received by this organization. These troops participated in the Meuse-Argonne actions of No- vember 1st to llth, 1918, inclusive." ***** Here is what a Machine Gun Commander says: "Best disciplined and trained re- placements received." ***** CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF STATIONS OF 40TH DIVISION Organized Camp Kearny, California Sept. 16. 1917 Left Camp Kearny, California July 26. 1918 Arrived Camp Mills, Long Island, N.

Tuthill. who remained in command of the Brigadet hroughout its existence. The 79th Infantry Brigade comprised the 157th Infantry, 158th Infantry and 144th Machine Gun Battalion. The 157th Infantry was composed of the 1st Colorado Infantry, National Guard, and the 1st Colorado Cavalry, National Guard, with the exception of Troop E. The 1st and 2nd Battalions, Colorado Infantry, were in the Federal service from July, 1916. The 3rd and provisional Battalions were mustered in the service August 5, 1917, when they became a part of the 1st Colorado Infantry, then located at Fort Logan. Colorado, whence they moved to Camp Kearny, California. The 1st Colorado Cavalry was mus- tered into the Federal service at Camp Baldwin, Denver, Colorado, August 5, 1917, as a unit, one Squadron, however, having been in the Federal service on the Mexican border from July, 1916, to April. 1917. The Regiment was transferred to Infantry after arrival at Camp Kearny. The 158th Infantry was built upon the foundations of the 1st Arizona Infantry. The 1st Arizona Infantry was mustered into Federal service on June 16. 1916. and ordered mustered out on March 21. 191 7. but the order of muster out was suspended. On March 27th. the Regiment remained in the Federal service, being ordered on October 6th to report to the 40th Division at Camp Kearny, California. The 144th Machine Gun Battalion was formed from the 3rd Battalion of the 1st New Mexico Infantry, The 1st New Mexico Infantry was mustered into Federal service en August 5. 1917, at Albuquerque, New Mexico. On October 19, 1917, the regiment reported at Camp Kearny, California. The 80th Infantry Brigade was commanded by Brigadier General George H. Cam- eron, who also was in command of the 40th Division from September 17. 1917, to De- cember 8, 1917, during the absence of Major General F. S. Strong, who visited during this period the battle front in France, being present at General L. E. Maistre's Headquarters during that most brilliant operation of the French Army, the Battle of La Malmaison, December 3rd, 1917, General Cameron was appointed Major General and assigned to the command of the 4th Division at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C. General Cameron was in command of the 4th Division in France, and was later promoted to the command of the 5th Corps, which he commanded during the operation of St. Mihiel and the first part of the operations west of the Meuse. Brigadier General Herman Hall, formerly in command of the 55th Depot Brigade, Camp Lee, Virginia, succeeded General Cam- eron in command of the 80th Infantry Brigade on December 11, 1917, On October 18, 1918, Brigadier General Herman Hall, was ordered to proceed to Headquarters, 89th Division, and was succeeded in command of the 80th Infantry Bri- gade by Brigadier General W, O. Johnson. December 16, 1918, FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 31 The 80th Infantry Brigade was composed of organizations formerly comprising the 1st Infantry Brigade, National Guard, of California (excepting separate Squadron Cali- fornia Cavalry). On June 19. 1916, the California Brigade was mustered into Federal service at Sacramento, California, and on July 6, 1916, arrived at Nogales, Arizona, for border duty and served until October 18. 1916. when it was returned to Los Angeles, California for muster out. The organizations composing the Brigade were again mobilized for active service in March, 1917, mustered into Federal service August 3, 1917, and formed the 80th Brigade, 40th Division, as follows: The 159th Infantry, formerly 5th California Infantry and 2nd California Infantry, less the 2nd Battalion and Companies L and M, 3rd Battalion. The 160th Infantry, formerly 7th California Infantry, 2nd Battalion and Com- panies L and M; 3rd Battalion, 2nd California Infantry. The 145th Machine Gun Battalion was formerly the 1st separate Squadron, California Cavalry, less Troop D. The 65th Field Artillery Brigade was commanded by Brigadier General LeRoy S. Lyon, who directed their training at Camp Kearny until May 10th, 1917. (Par. I. S.O. No. 6, C.O.-W.D.) when he was appointed Major General and assigned to com- mand of the 51st Division at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Georgia. Thereupon Colonel Richard W, Young, 145th Field Artillery, was appointed Brigadier General and assigned to command of the Brigade. The promotion of Colonel Young advanced Lt. Colonel William C.

Both of the above-named organizations were in Federal Service on the Mexican Border in 1916. They were again mustered into the Federal Service on August 5th. 1917. The Battalion accompanied the division overseas and on September 16th, 1918. they were detached. October 14th. 1918. and transferred to the Second Army. The 115th Headquarters and Military Police was composed of Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters and Supply Companies, First New Mexico Infantry Nat- tional Guard. This organization was called into Federal Service on May 9th. 1916. It was mobilized at Columbus. New Mexico, and was a part of Major General Pershing's punitive expedition. It was mustered out of service April 5th. 1917. and recalled and mustered into Federal Service April 21st, 1917, reporting at Camp Kearny October 19th, 1917. The 115th Ammunition Train was composed of Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Company, Second Battalion and Third Battalion, Second Colorado In- fantry. National Guard. This was a volunteer organization, recruited during May, June and July, 1917, mustered into Federal Service August 5th, 1917. This Train operated with the 65th Field Artillery Brigade in the training area in France. The Horse Battalion returned to the United States with the Division; but the Motor Section was detached and transferred to the Motor Transport Corps. Base Section No. 2. France, in February. 1919.

Strong. N. A., assumed command of the Division, and began functioning with the following personnel: Major Laurance O. Mathews, N. A., Division Adjutant. Army Field Clerk John Milledge, A. G. D., Chief Clerk Army Field Clerk Marvin G. Richeson, A. G. D. Army Field Clerk Arthur Schaefer, A. G. D. Army Field Clerk Donald F. Marr, A. G. D. Army Field Clerk William B. Tyler, A. G. D. Army Field Clerk Edgar A. McAuliffe, A. G. D. Army Field Clerk John H. Fanning. A. G. D. During the month of September, 1917, this personnel was augmented by — Captain Trueheart P. Bourne, Inf., O.R.C.. Ass't Division Adjutant Army Field Clerk Edwin G. Gustafson, A. G. D. Army Field Clerk Adrain J. Fisher. A. G. D. By the month of December. 1917, a sufficient number of enlisted men had been trans- ferred to the Headquarters Detachment from the various divisional units to complete the personnel of the Division Adjutant's Office authorized in the Tables of Organiza- tion. On January 10. 1918, Army Field Clerk Arthur Schaefer was appointed Chief Clerk, vice Mr. John Milledge commissioned Captain, Aviation Section, Signal Reserve Corps. Army Field Clerk William B. Tyler was appointed a 2d Lieutenant in the Aviation Section, Signal Reserve Corps, in February, 1918; Mr. John H. Fanning was commiss- sioned a Captain, Quartermaster Corps, N. A., in May; and Mr. Adrain J. Fisher was appointed a 2d Lieutenant in the Corps of Interpreters in July. 1918. The vacancies created by these appointments were filled by the appointment as Army Field Clerk of the following named enlisted men: Regt'l Sergeant Major Ralph J. Richards. Hq. Det. Bn. Sergeant Major Frank M. Banks. Hq. Det. Bn. Sergeant Major Carl R. Schneider, Hq. Det. Corporal Paul B. Talmadge, Hq. Det. Just before leaving for overseas in August. 1918, Major Mathews was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Upon arrival in France, Colonel Mathews was assigned as G-1 in the General Staff Section of the Division, which was to operate as the 6th Depot Division. Captain Bourne was announced as Division Adjutant and was promoted to the rank of Major, A.G.D., in October, 1918. Upon Colonel Mathews' transfer to the Headquarters, Service of Supply, American E.F., in December, 1918, Major Bourne succeeded him as G-l of the Division, whereupon Major Raymond I. FoUmer. A.G.D.. Adjutant of the 80th Brigade, was assigned to Headquarters and appointed Division Adjutant. On February 14. 1919. Major FoUmer was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, I. G. D., and appointed Division Inspector, his vacancy being filled by Lieut, Colonel Tudor H. A. Tiedemann, A. G. D.. who was promoted from Major. A. G. D., same date, and who had previously so successfully served in the capacity of Division Personnel Adjutant and Commanding Officer of the Classification Camps at La Guerche (Cher) and Contrisson (Meuse) France. Army Field Clerks — Marvin G. Richeson. Ralph J. Richards and Edgar A. McAuliffe, Frank M. Banks remained on duty at Headquarters, Camp Kearny, Cal., upon departure of the Di" vision for France. The duties performed by the personnel of the Division Adjutant's Office were those outlined in the War Department Staff Manual for sui.h an office. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 35 SKIRMISH DRILL, CAMP KEARNY IN REA'IEW, MARCH 29, 1918. "CHOW" IS CHOW, ANYWHERE. WAGON TRAINS. GUN PITS, CAMP KEARNY ARTILLERY RANGE. 36 HISTORY OF THE PERSONNEL SECTION The forerunner of the Division Personnel Section which eventually handled all matters pertaining to statistics, insurance and personnel work, was the statistical sec- tion of the Adjutant General's Office, formed under authority of War Department letter dated August 24, 1917. This letter authorized three commissioned officers and two army field clerks to keep the statistical records of each combat division. The duties of the section were to prepare and maintain a locator index on all officers, soldiers, and accredited civilians; to prepare and forward casualty lists; and to supervise and check all muster rolls and returns made by units of the division or by attached units. First Lieutenant Clement Akermann. A.G.D. was placed in charge of the section with First Lieutenant Leslie M. Turner A.G.D. . and Second Lieutenant Ralph H. Lutz. A.G.D. , as assistants. When the Statistical Section was later merged into the Personnel Sec- tion, it continued to perform the functions enumerated above, and with the exception that it is supervised by a Regimental Sergeant Major, continued very much the same until the Division was demobilized as it was when first organized. After consolidation with the Personnel Section, the Statistical Section was utilized to the fullest extent by all departments, but particularly the Insurance and Allotment sections. To facilitate this co-operation, the authorized three inches by five inches locator card, was supple- mented by a larger card, five inches by eight inches, which showed, in addition to the name, rank, and organization of the soldier, the date and place of his enlistment or in- duction; home address; full insurance and allotment data; and all information shown on the master cards afterwards adopted by the American Expeditionary Forces. This locator card proved satisfactory, in spite of its larger size, particularly since no provision is made for Division Headquarters to retain copies of insurance and allotment applications. The work of classification of personnel was begun by Captain Bernard J. Kempter, assisted by an emergency organization. At the time of the introduction of this work into the division, classification was still in the formative period, and its exact scope and requirements not clearly defined in the minds of even its sponsors. Accordingly, the division personnel officer, after attending a conference held in San Antonio, Texas, about October 23, 1917, drew upon the several units of the division for a temporary organiza- tion, which made qualification cards for the 24,000 men then in the division. The in- formation contained on the first C.C.P.-l form was insufficient to place men properly in occupations requiring highly specialized training, but the card even in its primitive form made possible the filling of demands for cooks, clerks, company mechanics and many ether specialists who were urgently needed in the organization of the division. The work of insuring and alloting the division was conducted contemporaneously with the classification of the enlisted personnel, the sections being in no way connected at the time. The War Risk branches were equally novel to the Army. A Division In- surance Officer was appointed, and sent to the Insurance Conference held in Washington, D. C. on October 10. 1917. As in the case of the classification of soldiers, the initial work of insuring and alloting the division was conducted by a temporary organization, trained and under the supervision of the Division Insurance Officer. The efforts of this section were more than ordinarily successful. In spite of the handicap of time, 99.7 — of the division was insured for an average policy of $9,189, making a total for the division in round numbers of two hundred twenty million dollars, a record which stands among the highest attained by the thirty-two National Guard and National Army Divisions which then existed. This result was not accomplished without the most persistent effort of a large number of officers and repeated canvasses of the soldiers — not without consider- able interference with the training schedule of the troops. All of which suggests that an insurance law which automatically insures all soldiers who did not specifically claim exemption would simplify the initial work of this section considerably. Upon the transfer of Captain Kempter to the Eighth Division. Lieutenant Tudo H. A. Tiedemann. the Division Insurance Officer, was made captain and Division Per FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 37 sonnel Officer, at which time the complete amalgamation of the Statistical, Insurance, and Personnel Sections was effected. This arrangement was afterwards confirmed by War Department letter of January 8, 1918, and embodied in the tables of organization. After the consolidation Captain Tiedemann had for assistants. Captain Frank D. Shearer, First Lieutenant Irwin W. Minger, and Second Lieutenant Ralph H. Lutz. During the latter part of April, 1918, the personnel system was extended, and Per- sonnel Adjutants appointed for each regiment and certain of the trains of the division — an arrangement which proved fortunate for a division which was to become a depot, but the additional officers made little or no difference while the division was still in training. In order to better fit the newly appointed Regimental and similar Personnel Officers for their duties, a Personnel school was conducted at Camp Kearny, the first week in July, 1918, by Dr. Strong and Mr. Wiczeger of the Committee on Classification of Personnel in the Army, which was attended by Personnel adjutants and their assistants, both of- ficers and enlisted men, from the entire southwest. * * * * • The principal work of the Personnel Section, outside of the routine while the di- vision was in training at Camp Kearny, consisted in: I. RECLASSIFICATION OF ENLISTED MEN The reclassification of enlisted men was made necessary because the first cards were made out without a thorough understanding of the purpose of the work, the qual- ification attribute to a soldier being, in the main, too broad and general to serve as an index for placing him as a specialist of any kind. Furthermore, the idea of the qualifi- cation card had been received with reluctance by a number of organization commanders. The latter difficulty was overcome by the earnest support of the division commander and after reclassification of the division the Qualification Cards became valuable instru- ments in the proper formation of the division. II. LIBERTY LOAN In connection with the Third Liberty Loan drive conducted in the camp, the di- vision exerted every effort to assist the local campaigns in San Diego and other cities and towns of Southern California. Four-minute-men from among officers and enlisted men of the division were sent to practically every town within a hundred miles of Camp Kearny; and the different organizations and bands were placed at the disposal of local committees for use in their rallies and parades throughout the campaign. The manage- ment and arrangement of these several activities was charged directly to the Division Personnel Adjutant. III. RECEIVING CASUALS FROM OTHER CAMPS When the National Guard regiments and separate organizations from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah were assembled, it was found that approximately '6,000 men were left after the medical examinations were completed. In October and November 9,000 replacements were received from the National Army cantonments at Camp Lewis, Washington, and Camp Funston, Kansas. These men were assigned to organizations regardless of qualifications or previous training, the class- ification system not having been established. Vacancies for specialists were necessarily filled by men chosen from the particular company in question, which system resulted first in unbalanced units, and later in numerous and often unsatisfactory transfers. After the complete organization of the personnel system, 10,000 recruits were received from Camp Lewis, in July, 1918, to fill vacancies created by the June Automatic Draft. These recruits were received with qualification cards, which were on the whole satisfac- tory, and provided a fairly accurate index of their abilities. These men were at once assigned to organizations where they were needed, and hardly a subsequent transfer was made or deemed advisable. IV. INDUCTION OF RECRUITS FROM DRAFT BOARDS While the 10,000 recruits were being received from Camp Lewis, 6,000 men of the June, 1918, draft were inducted into the service from the California draft boards. The War Department contemplated that work of this nature should be done by depot bri- 38 HISTORY OF THE gades. but the pressure of circumstances made it necessary that a part of the new draft be inducted by National Guard organizations. The 40th Division organized completely the machinery of induction. This work was also given to the Division Personnel Adjutant. Owing to the expected immediate departure of the division overseas, practically the en- tire division was placed at the disposal of the Personnel Section, in order to complete the work in the shortest possible time. The 6,000 men were received, inducted, classi- fied, equipped, and assigned to organizations according to their qualifications in the space of three weeks, at the end of which time the division was again up to war strength, and it entrained for the Port of Embarkation. V. REPLACEMENTS Having outlined the manner in which the division received its personnel from time to time, it is necessary to turn back to take up in outline the trained soldiers forwarded for duty overseas and elsewhere before the division itself left the United States. After the receipt of the 9.000 recruits from Camp Lewis and Camp Funston in Oc- tober and November. 1917. the division was at war strength, and its training as a di- vision was begun. In January. 1918. the first considerable reduction in this strength came by way of a requisition from the War Department for 1 ,200 men for the Engineering service. Only trained men, picked by means of their qualification cards, were supplied. They were forwarded on January 26 to Washington Barracks, the 20th Engineers, and the 534th Pontoon Train. In April a requisition was received for 1,300 trained infantry- men, which call was filled with men, who, for the most part, had seen service with the old National Guard units on the Mexican border. During May and June, the 40th Division, like nearly every other division then in the United States, was called upon to furnish all the trained infantrymen and artillerymen it could possibly sacrifice for immediate service overseas. In response 4,000 infantrymen and 1,100 artillerymen all with more than eight months' training, were supplied. These men of the June Automatic Draft were among the best ever trained by the division, and subsequently proved their merit with the divisions they reinforced. VI. TECHNICAL SPECIALIST From time to time the division was called upon to furnish men of high technical training, ranging from wagon-maker to Diesel-engine experts and mechanical engineers. These many requisitions upon the personnel of the division, together with the natural losses reduced the number of troops to nearly one half war strength after the June Au- tomatic Draft had been forwarded. In order to refill it was necessary to receive the 10,000 recruits from Camp Lewis and the 6,000 from the draft boards, already referred to. By the middle of July. 1918. the division was again at war strength, and beginning July 23, 1918, it left Camp Kearny for France. 14.000 of these men were now raw re- cruits. They had been placed however, where their previous experience would serve them best, and subsequent observation has shown, particularly in the motorized sec- tions of the division, the value of the personnel cards when properly used. VII. SIXTH DEPOT DIVISION A. E. F. Upon arrival in France the division was made into one of the six depots for training and reclassifying replacements and was located at La Guerche (Cher) and surrounding villages. During the months of September and October practically all the Infantrymen and machine gunners, both officers and enlisted men. were sent forward, leaving only the training cadres of two officers and thirty enlisted men to each company. Thus twelve thousand men were lost by the Division. The personnel of the Division sent forward replacements, went to the following Divisions: 1,300 to 32nd Division from La Guerche, September 10, 1918 2,000 to 28th Division from La Guerche. September 16. 1918 4,000 to 77th Division from La Guerche, September 20, 1918. 1,000 to 81st Division from La Guerche, September 29, 1918. 2.100 to 80th, 82nd and 89th Divisions from La Guerche, October, 1918. 900 specialists to 1st Depot Division. St. Aignan, October. 1918. 146 officers to various divisions from La Guerche. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 39 Meanwhile the artillery brigade including the ammunition train was detached and sent to the Training Camp at De Souge, and the engineers and the signal battalion were detached from the division for duty with the Second Army. After all these requi- sitions had been filled, a further call for 900 specialists of all kinds was received, and these men were sent to the First Depot Division, The supervision of forwarding these replacements and their records was naturally done by the Personnel Section. The work of the division, after it had been skeletonized, reduced itself mainly to receiving, classifying and forwarding hospital evacuants, which work was turned over en- tirely to the Personnel Section. The authorized strength of three officers and eight en- listed men was patently inadequate for this work, so that a provisional organization consisting of twenty-one officers and approximately two hundred and fifty enlisted men was gotten together, to conduct the Classification Camp at La Guerche (Cher). Plans for the erection of eighty barracks were submitted by the Division Personnel Adjutant, and after some delay in the erection of these, the camp began to operate on October 16, 1918. Innumerable obstacles were encountered in the way of delayed construction of barracks and roads; in procuring equipment and supplies; in the matter of transporta- tion and liaison with the hospital forwarding their evacuants to the camp; and in adverse weather conditions. Nevertheless, during the fifteen days the classification camp oper- ated at La Guerche, 1 1,000 hospital evacuants were received, medically classified, fitted with gas masks and given gas training, completely equipped —besides having supple- mentary records made in every case — and forwarded to their proper organizations. VIII. FIRST ARMY REGIONAL REPLACEMENT DEPOT On October 22. 1918, the 40th Division was transferred to the First Army, as reg- ional replacement depot, with P.C. at Revigny (Meuse), and on November 1st, left for its new station. Plans were immediately submitted and preparations made to build a camp of 100 Adrian barracks near Revigny, to handle casuals of all descriptions for the region occupied at that time by the First Army. Before this camp could be built, however, it was necessary to begin work in such buildings as could be secured immedia- ately. These consisted of seven barracks, located at Contrisson (Meuse), a distance of three kilometers from the railroad. The emergency created by the Meuse-Argonne drive of November first together with the anticipated drive of the Second Army on Metz necessitated clearing hospitals of patients who were in condition to be evacuated. Many of these evacuants were thus sent to the Fortieth Division before any of its facilitie? to handle them ever existed except on paper, a condition which prevailed, indeed, until the end. The little camp at Contrisson had a maximum capacity of seven hundred, whereas scarcely a day passed during a space of over a month when more than this num- ber was not received. As at La Guerche these casuals were hospital evacuants, requir- ing complete equipment, delousing and the making of supplementary service records and individual equipment records. After the signing of the armistice the situation was complicated by the fact that divisions of the Third Army were moving forward to take up the new line, and all other divisions were moving back into training areas. Scarcely an organization had a railhead for a period of two weeks after November I I th. Fol- lowing that, an embargo was placed on transportation to facilitate the demobilization of certain classes of the French Army. All the time hospitals were evacuating their patients to the divisions, while it was impossible for the division to forward them to their organizations. The area occupied by the division had been devastated by the enemy, and billeting accomodations were extremely limited. The fall offensive of the allies taxed the transportation system to the extent that it was almost impossible to procure sets of equipment. This combination of circumstances necessitated the delivery of a large numbers of casuals with incomplete equipment to organizations to which they did not belong. To the Sixth, Thirty-sixth. Eightieth and Eighty-first Divisions there were delivered during this emergency such casuals, in number ranging from six hundred to four thousand, without regard to qualification, with the sole consideration, in fact, of placing them where they could be properly housed and fed. 40 HISTORY OF 1 HLl The method of handling casuals at Revigny was necessarily different from the method used at La Guerche. At the latter place the entire work was done within the camp where accommodations existed for seven thousand men. At Contrisson, however, the billeting capacity of the camp could not accommodate even the number that very often arrived in one night. Therefore merely the preliminary records of the men were made, a medical examination to ascertain if there was infection or vermin, or disability which prevented marching. The men were billeted for the night, and later marched to the division units wh-ch were located in villages from four to twenty kilometers distant. Here they were reservoired until such time as complete sets of equipment could be gotten together from Quartermaster, Ordnance. Chemical Warfare Service and salvage dumps, and the necessary transportation arranged- a combination which was rare. After the transportation embargo was raised, the matter of forwarding the remaining casuals to their proper organization was comparatively easy, and this was done, except in the case of thirty-three hundred Third Army casuals who were turned over to the First Army Replacement Battalion, a unit which was formed from the personnel of the 40th Division to continue its work. Work of identical nature with that done by the Classification Camp at Contrisson was alfo carried en by other units of the Fortieth Division. The Fifth Corps Provisional Replacement Battalion located at Froidos (Meuse), and the Third Corps Provisional Replacement Battalion at Grange le Ccmte (Meuse) were consolidated and transferred to the Fortieth Division. The Grange le Comte Camp continued to operate as an ad- vance depot under the supervision of the Division Personnel Adjutant. At the same time the 158th Infantry and the 144th Machine Gun Battalion took over the corps replacement battalion located at Chelles (Seine et Marne). and the 159th Infantry and 143rd Machine Gun Battalion took over the Second Corps Provisional Replacement Battalion at Saleux (Somme). PERSONNEL AND DIVISION OF DUTIES AT CLASSIFICATION CAMPS The following personnel of officers who operated the classification camps at La Guerche and Contrisson is given, together with the duties performed by each: Major T. H. A. Tiedemann. Division Personnel Adjutant and Camp Commander. Captain Frank D. Shearer, in charge of making and inspecting Service Records and Equipment Records. First Lieutenant William M. Galvin, Assistant to Camp Commander First Lieutenant John B. King, Camp Administrative Officer First Lieutenant John R. Studor. Asst. Camp Administrative Off. Second Lieut. Dale B. Fagan, Camp Adjutant First Lieut. James B. Jones. First Lieut. Joseph L. Tupper First Lieut. Leander Ponder Second Lieut. George L. Collins Second Lieut. Earl A. McMichaels Second Lieut. Firman E. Stewart, Sanitation Officer First Lieut. Harry R. Gimbell, Camp Supply Officer Second Lieut. William H. Parcells, Asst. Supply Officer. First Lieut. Arthur K. Ford, Mess Officer First Lieut. H. Miller Ainsworth, Detachment Commander and Provost Officer First Lieut. Earl R. Bevins, Incoming and Outgoing Troops Officer First Lieut. Beach E. Taber, Asst. 1. and O. Troop Officer First Lieut. Proctor Knight, Billetting Officer Because casuals were received at all hours of the day and night, each department head required an assistant. The duties of the lieutenants assigned to the camp admin- istrative officer were never defined, because illness of personnel necessitated frequent changes in the duties of these officers. In general, however, these duties consisted in receiving the casuals from the Incoming Troop Officer, supervising the men through FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 41 messing, equipping, billeting, and making records; in segregating them mto groups by organizations to which they belonged; and preparing them for delivery to the outgoing Troops Officer. First Lieutenant William Merchant who was in charge of the Records "Mill" at La Guerche, was transferred to the 159th Infantry to organize the Records "Mill" which operated for the Second Corps at Pont de Metz (Somme). While operating the classification camps at La Guerche and Contrisson was the chief work, of the Division Personnel Adjutant while the Division was in France, the regular personnel was statistical work of the Division was continued under his supervision as before. Especial credit must be given to the enlisted personnel of the Personnel Section as originally constituted for the willingness and ability which they displayed in adapting themselves to unusual conditions and for the splendid accomplishments which rewarded their work. Of the ten enlisted men who formed the original Personnel Section, the following named remained with it until demobilization of the Division: R, S. M. James B. O'Neil B. S. M. Richard Todd R. S. M. John Loucks Sgt. Charles O. Reid R. S. M. William A. Rabbett Sgt. Harry Work R. S. M. John H. Larkey ' Sgt. Harry R. Cayford B. S. M. Lawrence Donald The personnel of the camp at Contrisson was virtually the same as it was at la Guerche. In both places a provisional guard company was formed from casuals requir- ing three or four weeks rest or light duty to put them in Class A condition. The 160th Field Hospital, commanded by Major Horace C. Dodge, M, C. was found adequate for all needs, including the medical classification board, both at La Guerche and at Con- trisson. A general and special court were appointed but never sat, owing to the absence of any grave crimes and to the more satisfactory system of forwarding charges with the soldier in case of lesser infractions of regulations. Every casual entering camp was first served a hot meal before being equipped or having records made. This, together with an earnest endeavor, particularly on the part of officers, to give them the best accom- modations possible, however poor that might be, was found to sustain the morale of the casuals, and no difficulty was experienced at any time in handling them. The number of men handled at Contrisson between November 9, 1918 and January 1 , 1919 was some- thing in excess of twenty thousand, practically all of which were received during the first two weeks of the period named. IX. REFILLING DIVISION FOR RETURN TO U. S. A. On January 4th and 5th, 1919, the division entrained for billeting area No. 3, Base Section No. 2, where it received 8,800 casuals who were sent to it for transportation to the United States. These casuals were received, distributed by geographical districts and assigned under the direction of the Personnel Section. The Personnel Section re- turned to the combat table of organization. Col. Tiedemann was made Div. Adjt. Capt. William M. Galvin, A.G.D., was made D.P.A. with Second Lt. Ben. A. Rooks, A.G.D., assistant. Because the 40th Division was organized and trained as a combat division, and op- erated as a replacement unit both in the Service of Supply and in the Advance Section, its experience is probably broader than that of many other divisions. The fundamental soundness of the classification of personnel has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of those most in touch with its operation in this division. Its value lies in facilitating the organization of the unit. After that it should not, in the mind of the writer, be used to transfer men except in the most urgent cases. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Unabating demands upon its vigilance in sanitary matters and ability for speedy examination and classification of troops, render the history of the Medical Department 42 HISTORY OF THE of the Fortieth Division distinctive. The work of this branch of the Service was at all times characterized by precision and foresight. Had there not been the proper spirit in administration, and requisite coordination with other staff departments, it would have been impossible to accomplish successfully results reflecting such marked credit on this divisional organizat.on in its particular functioning. The Medical Department always maintained its ideals and standard of efficiency. The early history of the Department was characterized by difficulties of organization and shortage of personnel on the one hand, while, on the other, there was the ever-present danger of serious spread of epidemic disease. Between this Charybdis and Scylla, it had to steer its way to adequate and permanent safeguarding of the general welfare of the troops. The disease rate during November and December, 1917, was especially high. A measles epidemic caused a large non-effective percentage, and while not dan- gerous in its immediate effect, it presented a serious problem m its possible consequences. An outbreak of cerebral spinal-meningitis needed prompt control. These tests were met with their proper solution, followed by the return to a more normal sick rate after the first of the year, 1918. The same result was had with the venereal problem. Camp Kearny had a large influx of old venereal cases, but these were disposed of by discharge on certificate of disability or cured by treatment, so that a minimum remained. By Spring, all disabilities had been so dealt with that, during the arduous field training, the troops made a splendid physical showing, as they did later when sent overseas. The work of the disability boards in Camp Kearny, and subsequently that of the specialists, m assisting in physical classification of troops proved most valuable to the Division. Especially highly developed was the system for examining recruits, afterward used m modified form for reclassification abroad. In Camp Kearny, this system ren- dered the Division ready immediately to meet the requirements of the War Depart- ment's newly promulgated plan for retention of men of poor physical qualifications. The functioning of disability boards was at once adjusted to meet the new condition, as the ground-work of organization had been previously laid; and the spirit, as well as the letter, of the new programme was fully carried out. No effort was omitted to remove physically disqualified men from active service. At the same time, where there was the least opportunity, every effort was made to retain men for that type of service for which they were qualified. It was a hard task at times to draw the line. Valuable as- sistance was furnished by the Base Hospital, and later by such organizations as the Con- valescent Company and the Development Battalion. The result was that there were few, if any, men discharged from the service at the camp, who were of value to the army. In sanitation. Camp Kearny came to be recognized as one of the finest troop training areas in America. Every precaution was taken not only to guard against the spread of disease, but to assure the best health for the men. From administrative heads to enlisted men, everyone had a pride in preserving the sanitary reputation of the camp. Every assistance was given by the Commanding General in furthering the work of the Medical Section. To his interest and frequent timely aid is due the success of the De- partment. Compliments paid the troops of the Fortieth Division, sent forward as re- placements, on their physical fitness were indirectly compliments to the discrimination displayed in eliminating the unfit. The successful movement of replacement troops and finally of the Division itself across the country and overseas, notable for a general absence of disease incidence, gave further proof of the Medical Department's efforts. No disease conditions impeded the rapid dispatch of replacements to the Front. During the occupation of the Services of Supply area by the remaining Divisional cadre, a high degree of perfection in sanitation obtained. The division received favorable comment on inspection. Disease was quickly and effectually controlled. The influenza epidemic did not assume the serious character prevalent in other sections. What cases occurred were treated mainly at the Camp Hospital established at Grossouvre. Dept. Cher, with Major Charles E. Sisson as Com- manding Officer. While the Fortieth Division Medical Department was not called upon FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 43 to stand the strain of battle, it was put to the test of organizing rapidly sanitary service in several billeting areas, each in a different section of France and each with its own peculiarities of terrain, soil, physical surroundings, etc. Each time the divisional units detrained in a new area a system of promptly disposing of the sick was devised, and each time the system proved efficient. For purposes of medical department administration, the divisional area about La Guerche in Central France was divided into districts. Frequent meetings of the surgeons was held to enable rapid conveyance of information and to settle methods of procedure. This plan was effective both in keeping down disease incidence, through continual ex- change of ideas regarding sanitation and by promptly procuring remedy for any and all defects. During the stay in France, the divisional medical department was gradually re- duced in personnel, especially after the move to the Advance Section, and principally because of demands in the forward zones, behind the army of occupation. Large num- bers of replacements were sent from the Sanitary Train, of which, in fact, nothing but the bare skeleton remained in the end. Thereafter, even part of the skeleton, including several cadre units, was removed. Lt. Colonel JoUey and a number of the other of- ficers were transferred to duty elsewhere. In the advance section, about Revigny, owing largely to devastation and dilapida- tion caused by the war, the Medical Department was forced to exercise, if anything, stricter supervision over sanitary matters than in Central France. Greater care was displayed in regard to the drinking water problem. Experience in the Department of Cher had demonstrated that first conclusions were right —that water was not potable in France until it had been chlorinated. Orders were issued accordingly. These were supplemented by further instructions and memoranda, having to do in part with the use of Lyster bags, and the methods of chlorinating. By these means, intestinal troubles were held to a minimum. In general, it may be said that all disease incidence was light in the Revigny district during the troops' sojourn there. Upon the arrival of the division in the Port of Embarkation District, the Medical Department strength began to show again, owing to the assignment of various casual troops to the division for travel overseas. While the Medical Department succeeded in retaining, comparatively speaking, more of its original enlisted personnel than did the line, and also, probably more than did the other staff departments, still a great part of the original personnel had been lost by transfer during the time spent in Europe. From their arrival at Camp Kearny until they reached foreign soil, and thereafter, the original sanitary troops were carefully trained for whatever part they might have to take in the war. The standard of efficiency throughout the medical organization was high. The work, assuming continually varying characters, was at all times per formed satisfactorily and with esprit. THE MEDICAL CORPS The Division Surgeon was Lieut. Colonel Alexander Murray. M.C. He enjoyed the assistance of able executives. He was accompanied to Camp Kearny by Major Charles W. Decker, who became Division Sanitary Inspector. Major William A. JoUey was Assistant Division Surgeon during the early history of the camp. With subsequent changes that took Maj. Decker (then Lt. Col.) to Camp McClellan, Alabama, as Camp Surgeon, and Maj. JoUey (later Lt. Col.) to the Sanitary Train, as commandmg Officer. Major R. P. Williams assumed the duties of Assistant Division Surgeon and Major Mazyck P. Ravenel those of Sanitary Inspector. Upon departure of the division over- seas. Captain Kenneth B. Turner became Assistant Division Surgeon, and Captain Alfred E. Banks, who had rendered valuable service in the control of venereal disease became Division Sanitary Inspector. At this time Major Williams and Lt. Col. Ravenel were separated from the Division to remain with the local camp administration. Major C. E. Sisson, Division Psychiatrist, who had also been president of the Board of Nervous 44 HISTORY OF THE and Mental Diseases, was assigned to the Office of the Division Surgeon. Captain Lewis D. Remington was Division Tuberculosis Examiner. There was practically no change in the status of officers in the administrative section, until, because of incurable disability. Captam Turner (then Major) was returned to the United States in October, 1918. and Major C. E. Yount, who had been commandmg Officer of the 159th Field Hospital, was made Assistant Division Surgeon. Capt. Remington was also later re- lieved from duty with the Division for service elsewhere in the American Expeditionary Forces. Lieut. Colonel Murray received notice of his promotion to the grade of Colonel shortly after his arrival in the forward area at Revigny. Captain Banks. Sanitary In- spector, was appointed Major. Several additions and changes were made in the per- sonnel of the administrative medical headquarters at Revigny and in the S.O.S. section; none, however, affecting the status of the senior officers. Frequent changes with the various divisional medical organizations had taken place after the arrival of the troops in France, because of the constant readjustments necessitated by the numerous replace- ments, losses, etc. It has been the purpose of the Medical Department to uphold the traditions of the Service and to exemplify these qualities of soldierliness that have always been held a matter of pride in America. All effort has been in the direction of developing officers and men a high sense of obligation to duty, a thoroughness in workmanship, a discipline of self, an adherence to purpose, together with a helpfulness to others in the common cause, and a desire to render medical science of its full value to the Army and to the Country in this crisis. THE QUARTERMASTER CORPS At the time of the organization of the Fortieth Division. Lt. Col. Harry P. Wilbur was Camp Quartermaster at Camp Kearny. California, and was later appointed the first Division Quartermaster of this Division, with the following commissioned assistants: Major Moses L. Stern 2nd Lieut. Herbert F. Jenkins Major John F. Sherburn 2nd Lieut. Jesse B. Wickard Captain Albert B. Austin 2nd Lieut. Harry R. Day Captain Floyd E. Barnum During the training period at Camp Kearny. California, the furnishing of clothing and supplies was handled by the Camp Quartermaster, with the assistance of the com- missioned and enlisted personnel of the office of the Division Quartermaster; in fact, the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Division Quartermaster were so "sand- wiched" in with the personnel of the Camp Quartermaster, that an unusually effective organization was the result, and in this manner the personnel of the Division Quarter- master received the necessary training and experience to so ably handle the many in- tricate problems of clothing and feeding the Division, after its arrival in France. The Division sailed from New York on August 8th. 1918, and upon its arrival in France, was changed to the Sixth Depot Division, with station at La Guerche (Cher) and vicinity, and functioned as a Depot or Replacement Division. The office of the Division Quartermaster was reorganized from combat division strength to that of the depot division, in accordance with the table of organization, supplied by Headquarters, S.O.S., as folllows: One Major — Division Quartermaster One Major — Property Officer One Captain — Disbursing Officer One Captain — Administrative Officer One Captain — Responsible Officer, C. and S. One 1st Lieut. — Responsible Officer, Subsistence One 1st Lieut. — Sales Commissary, Accountable Officer One 1st Lieut. — Fuel and Forage Two 1st Lieut. — Assistant C. and S. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 45 One 1st Lieut.— Salvage Officer One 2nd Lieut.— Purchasing Officer and Graves Registration Officer Nineteen (19) — Sergeants. First Class Twenty-six (26) — Sergeants Thirty (30) — Corporals Nine (9) — Privates, First Class Twenty (20) — Privates The enlisted personnel was known as Headquarters Detachment, Quartermaster Section, and were organized into a separate administrative unit, commanded by an of- ficer assigned as Detachment Commander, operated and established a separate mess and functioned as a separate unit. This was a very desirable arrangement, and the or- ganization attained a high degree of efficiency. The nucleus of the organization was made up of highly trained non-commissioned specialists from the old Division Headquarter's office, and completed by selecting the most available material from the Supply Companies of the Divisional units. When the Sixth Depot Division was relieved from duty in the S.O.S., and re-assigned to the First Army, as the First Army Regional Replacement Division (40th Division), the same organization was maintained. Station of the First Army Regional Replace- ment Division was Revigny and vicinity. After the signing of the Armistice, the Quartermaster Section of this Division func- tioned as a distributing point for all divisions and miscellaneous troops from the for- ward area, returning to the S,O.S. In addition to this, the 57th Field Artillery Brigade was attached for rest and re-fitting. While stationed at Revigny and vicinity, two delousing plants were established at Contrisson. and under the supervision of Captain George P. Waller, Jr., Medical Corps, all troops passing through the replacement camp were thoroughly deloused and outfitted with new clothes. In addition to the two steam delousing plants, separate and individual units installed temporary improvised machinery, made from field ranges, G. I. cans, etc While functioning as a replacement division, this problem of bathing and delousing was quite important, and required constant supervision. QUARTERMASTER SALES STORES A Division Post Exchange was operated at Camp Kearny, under the supervision of Captain Albert B. Williams, who was afterward transferred to the Quartermaster Corps. A divisional sales commissary was operated by the division, both at La Guerche and at Revigny. with separate branches at each isolated point. This system of separate branches of the sales commissary was found to be eminently satsifactory, and the needs of the men were met at all times. The total receipts during the month of December. 1918, were $38,931.50. and individual sales on a few of the days, were December 2nd, 1918 $1,890.47 December 3rd, 1918 1,270,20 December 4th, 1918 1,300.90 December 5th. 1918 2,022.87 GRAVES REGISTRATION SERVICE While the Division occupied the territory in the vicinity of La Guerche. ground was purchased for the establishment of a cemetery at Grossouvre, near the Division Hospital, and the remains of the deceased officers and soldiers were interred at that point. This work was handled under the supervision of the Quartermaster, with the assistance of the Division Chaplain. After arrival at Revigny, in the forward area, all burials were handled by the Base Hospital at Revigny. 46 HISTORY OF THE THE JUDGE ADVOCATE'S OFFICE The following is a brief history of the activities of the Judge Advocate's Office of the 40th Division. 1. The office of the Division Judge Advocate was organized at the inception of the Division, Major James A. Howell, J.A.G.O.R.C., being detailed as Division Judge Advocate. At first there was no enlisted personnel in the office, but on October 7. 1917, Private Irwin Hudson, Company A, 137th Infantry, was detailed for duty therein, was appointed Battalion Sergeant Major October 10, 1917, but at his own request, was re- turned to his organization on October 22, 1917. On October 24, 1917. Color Sergeant Alfred W. Arrington, 1 15th Ammunition Train, was detailed for duty in the office, was made a Battalion Sergeant Major on December 2, 1917 and Regimental Sergeant Major January 31, 1918. The work in the office continued to increase to such an extent that it was necessary to have additional personnel, and, accordingly, on November 22, 1917 Major Fred G. Folsom, J.A.G.O.R.C.. was announced as Assistant Division Judge Ad- vocate, and on January 8, 1918, Private Henry J. Celse, Battery B, 144th Field Artillery, was detailed for duty in the office and was appointed Battalion Sergeant Major, January 31, 1918. On March 5, 1918, Private First Class William C. Call, Battery A, 143th Field Artillery, was detailed for duty with the Division Judge Advocate, and on May 4th, 1918, was promoted to the grade of Sergeant. The personnel of the office has continuously since that time been the same, but in January, 1918, First Lieutenant John E, Price 139th Infantry, was detailed on special duty in the office, and on November 22, 1918 Captain Julian G. Dickinson. 137th Infantry, was detailed on special duty in the office. 2. Since the office was instituted, it has reviewed 137 general court-martial cases 193 special court-martial cases and 1773 summary court-martial cases. In addition there were trials by general court-martial of 20 casuals, by special court-martial of 12 and by summary court-martial of 992. The following is a table of the general court- martial by months. GENERAL COURT MEMBERS OF DIVISION CASUALS Officers En. Men Total Officers En. Men Total 1917 Aug. Sept.

FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 47 The following are tables of the special court-martial and the summary court-martial cases, respectively, by months: SPECIAL SUMMARY 1917 Enlisted Men This Division Casuals Enlisted Men This Division Casuals Aug 2 8 14 13 15 34 16 37 12 6 9 10 8 I 7 26 160 154 168 238 107 192 131 164 100 59 46 115 48 28 30 Sept.

June July Aug 3 Sept Oct 2 Nov 2 10 857 Dec 130 1919 Jan Total 195 12 1773 992 It will be observed from these tables that the number of enlisted men tried by gen- eral court-martial has steadily decreased after the training period ended and that since the beginning of July there have been only six enlisted men tried and in the last two months and a half none at all have been tried. It is believed that this record is unique, and, in any event, it demonstrates the remarkable state of the discipline of the enlisted strength of the Division. In that period, four officers have been tried, and two are being tried, which is a small number compared with other Divisions, but in view of the number of officers in the Division, as compared with enlisted men, it is wholly disproportionate. It is to be borne in mind, of course, that every officer tried must be tried by General Court-Martial, but it is also true, that to warrant the trial of an officer by General Court-Martial, the offense must be grave, and when the enlisted men of a Division have reached a state of discipline and obedience to law and order that they are an example even to the officers in it, they certainly are entitled to the highest commendation. A study of the foregoing tables will also show a striking reduction in the number of trials of enlisted men by special and summary courts, which again shows the splendid increase in discipline and obedience to law and order. In the foregoing, no account is taken of the trials of casuals, either officers or men, because the work of trying them has been work done for other Divisions, rather than for this Division. 48 HISTORY OF THE The entire energy of the Judge Advocate's Office has been to develop in the Division such a state of discipline and respect for law that trials might be, as far as possible, elimi- nated. Trials have not been resorted to for their own sake, but only as a means to an end. The manner in which the object sought has been achieved is best shown by the foregoing statistics. 3. In addition to the work of superintending the administration of military jus- tice, as outlined above, the office has devoted itself to giving legal advice, not only on matters which concerned the Division, but on all matters that affected the individual members of it. The purpose has been to make everyone, whether officer or man, feel that he could come to the office with any legal problem which affected his relationship to the Army or the world outside, and here receive freely the advice necessary to solve it. The officers assigned or detailed to duty have made a special study of the legal dif- ficulties relating to naturalization, war risk insurance, and allotments, and have given the members of the Division the benefit of that study. These subjects appertain pe- culiarly to the status of the man in the service, but the scope of advice given has been by no means limited thereto; it has extended to matrimonial entanglements, contracted relationships, controversies as to debts, and, indeed, every phase of the work done by the attorney and the counsellor, even including the collection of damages for personal injuries received by members of the Division. Naturally, no record has been kept of this part of the work of the office because of its confidential character, and therefore no statistics can be given of it, but freely has the office been used for this purpose. Thou- sands of questions have been thus passed upon, and it can be asserted, without fear of contradiction, that no one ever appealed to the office to settle a legal question or sit- uation and has gone away without having received the aid for which he asked. The attitude of the office has been slightly different from that of the ordinary law office. It could not, and has not, countenanced any effort to evade proper responsibility for his acts on the part of any member of the Division, but it has consistently sought to secure his just rights. 4. The enlisted men assigned to the office have devoted themselves to the perform- formance of their duties with the same enthusiasm as the other men of the Division, and although their work has entailed long hours of labor, a great deal of night work, and the loss of holidays, which other men were enjoying, they have uncomplainingly kept it all, and by their unfailing industry, alert watchfulness, painstaking carefulness and intel- ligent cooperation made the office always function efficiently. On January 17, 1919. Major James A. Howell, the Division Judge Advocate, was transferred from the Division to General Headquarters, American E. P., and on January 25, 1919, Major Fred G. Folsom became Division Judge Advocate. On February 19, 1919, Battalion Sergeant Major Henry J. Celse was transferred from the Division to the First Depot Division, American E.F., for detached service with the Acting Judge Advocate General, American E. F. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 49 ENGINEER CORPS 1 . The Engineer Section, 40th Division, was organized at La Guerche. Cher. France in compliance with the tables of organization of that division as the 6th Depot Division. The skilled and engineering personnel of the section were selected by the Division En- gineer solely through the invaluable aid of the qualification cards of the enlisted per- sonnel of the division on file in the office of the Division Personnel Adjutant. Cards were studied and men were selected by that means alone by the Division Engineer. The Engineer Section, ultimately twenty-two enlisted men in number, during its organization took over and carried on the extensive engineering operations already planned or in operation by the II 5th Regiment of Engineers who were relieved from duty with the division in September. 1918. This work consisted of the following principal projects: I. Construction of a classification camp for 3,000 men at La Guerche. This com- prised the completion of the design of the camp, the erection of about one hundred frame buildings, principally Bryant barracks about one hundred by twenty feet, the grading and macadamizing of two miles of sixty-foot road, the construction of three-eighths of a mile of standard gauge spur track, the erection of two warehouses each fifty by two hundred and fifty feet, laying three-fourths of a mile of 4-inch water pipe, installing pumps, tanks and other accessories, and installing an electric lighting system, and vari- ous other structures appurtenant to the camp. The work was rushed at all times and with no skilled labor except that of soldiers, including three companies of the I I 3th Engineers, four companies of the I I 3th Supply Train and daily details which made a total of about 600 men at work at all times. Shortly after the relief of the I I 5th En- gineers, the Chief Engineer. Intermediate Section. East, S.O.S., detailed Captain John S. Walton and his company of the 312th Engineers on the work and from then until the departure of the 40th Division from La Guerche he was given all the resources of the division in men and materials to facilitate the rapid completion of the work. The work was designed, laid out and built without engineering instruments other than a hand- level and a tape, rock was quarried without explosives, hauled six miles crushed and laid in roads by hand, roofing tacks were driven with awkward French hand axes because there were so few hammers available, there was not one carpenters cutting-off saw or spirit level available, the roads and macadam were for the most part rolled with a French road roller dragged by teams of one hundred soldiers, there were neither horses nor ex- cavating machinery at hand but the work was carried on somehow as rapidly as it could have been done in America — the spirit and ingenuity of the men who were doing the work rising over every handicap. Too much praise cannot be given Captain Walton for the energy and real engineering ability with which he carried out his work. 2. The construction of a large scale maneuver map of the divisional area — 23 by 40 kilometres in size — was commenced. The work was complete and compiled except for the contours when the division left the area and survey parties for this important work had been planned. 3. Plans for remodeling Grossouvre Chateau into a 1,500 bed hospital were com- pleted. Material was requisitioned and was arriving at the time the division left the area. 4. Road maintenance work on the principal roads of the area was planned and a little progress was made. This work was severely handicapped by the lack of necessary equipment. 5. Surveying, drafting, carpenter, paint, and electrical crews were maintained and work of many kinds was planned and executed, including laying out a cemetery. 50 HISTORY OF THE building stretchers, roofing, moving shacks, building a bakery, installing electric lights, repairing pumps and boilers and finally building latrmes and improvised delousers. The Engineer Section of the Division moved to the n w area at Revigny. Meuse. m advance of all other troops of the Division on October 30. A classification camp of 10,000 men capacity was designed and located with the assistance of a survey party from the 25th Engineers loaned by the Chief Engineer of the 1st Army, but construction work was not started because of the armistice. During the months of November and Decem- ber, while the Division was at Revigny, no engineering work of great importance was carried on. A few roads were repaired, some buildings moved, a stockade for prisoners of war was erected, as was another for American soldier prisoners, some maps of minor importance were executed, electric lights were installed in two towns, some French shower baths repaired and erected, signs painted and posted on principal roads, and the usual carpenter, plumbing and electrical maintenance work was in progress at all times. During January and the first part of February, 1919, the division was in the billetting area around Castres, Gironde. In the area twelve head hot and cold shower baths were erected in six different towns occupied by units of the Division. These baths were erected under such conditions of lack of tools, parts and fittings as to produce ridiculously appearing although finally efficient structures. While in this area some 30,000 feet of scrap lumber was manufactured into mess tables, some electric lights were installed and one or two sketch maps were drawn. The Engineer Section of the 40th Division was organized and commanded by 1st Lieutenant John P. Donovan who was relieved from duty as Adjutant, 1st Battalion, 157th Infantry and assigned to duty as Division Engineer, being promoted to Captain just prior to the departure of the Division for home. In closing this history the Division Engineer wishes to commend the work of Cor- poral Joseph E. Souza, who was a member of the Engineer Section, 40th Division, during all its existence. Corporal Souza set a most remarkable example of able and conscien- tious devotion to every duty assigned him and showed also remarkable skill in handling men. lloTH ENGINEERS AT CUYAMACA LAKE. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 51 SIGNAL CORPS Shortly after the arrival of the 40th Division in France the 1 15th Field Signal Bat- talion was detached and sent to form a part of the 2nd Army leaving behind one officer and a small detachment to temporarily carry on the signal work of the Division. Lieut Col. Robert M. Nolan the Division's Signal Officer, was also detached and sent to the staff school. Major S. K. Baker, then Chief Signal Officer of Base Section No. 7, was transferred to fill the vacancy of Division Signal Officer. There were a number of men in the Infantry regiments experienced in telephone and telegraph work and these were transferred to the Division Signal Detachment and the members of the 11 5th Field Signal Battalion relieved and returned to their organization as rapidly as possible. The men so transferred remained permanently as the Signal Detachment throughout the Division's stay in France. Each time the Division moved it was necessary to construct completely a telephone exchange and to open telegraphic communication with the A.E.F. lines. The telephone exchange besides being connected by long distance trunk lines with the nearest A.E.F. Base or Section Headquarters was connected to the French system in order that points not reached by Signal Corps lines could be reached through the French. The Signal Corps Battalions of the A.E.F. had constructed long distance lines connecting with all the principal A.E.F. centers throughout France and communication over these lines was excellent. In all, three complete telephone exchanges and three telegraph offices were opened and operated by the 40th Division Signal Corps Detachment, from October, 1918, until February, 1919. INSPECTOR GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT To carry out the sound, sane and broad-minded policy of the Division Commander relative to inspections was not only not difficult but was a pleasure and an inspiration. Constructive criticism and helpful suggestion to bring men and officers, new to the serv- ice, up to the standard set for the Army in discipline and methods were the underlying principles upon which the Inspector and his assistants proceeded. The spirit animating the personnel of the division was such that this course was productive of the best results as only in rare instances were there to be found men or officers requiring drastic measures in order to induce them to bring themselves, or their organizations, into line with the requirements of orders and regulations. In brief the foregoing tells, without the enumeration of tedious and uninteresting detail, the work of the Inspector's Department, except that allusion may properly be made here to an exhaustive, constructive audit of the 40th Division Post Exchange and the various unit post exchanges while the division was at Camp Kearny. Exchange business was new to most of the units; the sudden influx of large numbers of men from civilian life, many of them with means other than their pay, developed an enormous business almost over night with the result that it soon became apparent that a business of this magnitude demanded a uniform system of management and accounting. To remedy this state of affairs a firm of certified public accountants were employed under the direction of the Division Inspector to make a thorough and comprehensive audit of all the post exchanges and to devise a practical and efficient scheme of accou- ing and operation that could be used as a model and guide for division and unit ecxhanges, not only at Camp Kearny but at all camps operating post exchanges on a similar basis. The plan devised conforms in principle to the Post Exchange Regulations published by the War Department but presents a working arrangement conformable to good busi- ness methods. 52 HISTORY OF THE THE DIVISION ORDNANCE OFFICE 1. It sometimes happens, although not frequently, that a great undertaking is accomplished so smoothly that a casual observer loses sight of its greatness. The work- ings of the Ordnance Office of the Fortieth Division is one of these rare examples. Every need of the Division was so well anticipated that there was never any friction, never any delay in training of the units — nothing but perfect service. Major John S. Pratt, F. A. was made D. O. O. when the Division was formed in August. 1917. and continued in that capacity until arrival of the Division overseas, when he was detailed to the General Staff School. American E. F.. and later transferred to the Sixth Corps, as Corps Ordnance Officer. Throughout the eleven months' period of training at Camp Kearny, the Ord- nance Office supervised the equipping of the forty-two thousand soldiers, who were at one time or another members of the command, and furnished facilities for training these men. which included everything from the hand grenades of the bombing squads to the six-inch field pieces of the motorized artillery. Just prior to the departure of the Division for France it was practically re-equipped with new ordnance. The Fortieth was one of the first divisions equipped with the new Browning machine guns to carry this arm overseas. 2. After the departure of Major Pratt, Major George S. Hardenbergh was made D. O. O., and took over the work of adapting his office to the new duties of the division. Ordnance depots, with greatly increased personnel, were established both in La Guerche (Cher) and Revigny (Meuse) to supply the casuals handled by the classification camps operated by the division. In spite of the many difficulties in obtaining full sets of ordnance equipment, over thirty thousand casuals were fitted out by the Ordnance Department during the few months the Division actually operated abroad. When the Division was ordered back to the United States, fourteen thousand casuals were trans- ferred in for transportation home, and the work of supplying suitable ordnance was supervised by the D. O. O. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 53 HEADQUARTERS TROOP (Formerly Troop D, First Squadron, California Cavalry) This organization was originally a gentlemen's riding club formed for the purpose of advancing interest in saddle animals. Included in its personnel were a number of the older residents of the City of Los Angeles, California, who realized at that time that saddle animals were gradually being discarded. On the fourth day of October, 1893, the organization was mustered into service as Troop D Cavalry, National Guard of California. At this time no equipment of any kind was furnished by the State. Consequently all the members were forced to buy their equipment.

The Headquarters Company from Oakland, and the Machine Gun Company from San Francisco. The Supply Company was largely built up by selection of men from the various companies of the regiment. Companies A. and F, and the Band, were organized in Oakland; Company B in San Jose; Company C in Berkeley; Company D in San Rafael; Company E in Santa Rosa; Company G in Alameda; Company H m Hay- ward; Company 1 in Livermore; Company K in Petaluma; Company L in Palo Alto and Company M in San Jose. The Sanitary Detachment also, was organized in San Jose. The Second California Infantry came into being as a result of the muster out of the First Artillery, National Guard of California, in 1889. and was called into State Service at Sacramento, in connection with the railroad strike in 1904. During the Spanish-American War. the regiment was called into service and sta- tioned at Benecia Arsenal. California, under the Command of Colonel Park Henshaw In 1907, the regiments of the California National Guard — the Second and the Sixth, were consolidated into the Second, with headquarters at Sacramento, California. From June 19. 1916. to November 13, 1916, the Second and Fifth Regiments were in the Federal Service in connection with the Mexican Border trouble, and were stationed at Nogales, Arizona, most of the time. They were again mobilized for active service on March 31 , 191 7, and were mus- tered into Federal Service, August 5. 1917. COLONEL LEONARD M. FARRELL. Commanding Lieutenant Colonel Karl E.

The Seventh California Infantry was a development of a private military organiza- tion known as the "Eagle Corps" in the early 80's. into State troops at Los Angeles. California, to which were added various companies from out-lying towns in Southern California, making it a nine company regiment. In 1897, the Seventh and Ninth Regiments California National Guard were con- solidated into the Seventh and made a twelve company regiment with headquarters in FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 63 Los Angeles. During the Spanish-American War, the regiment was called into the service and stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco, CaHfornia. This regiment was called into the State Service in 1904, in connection with the rail- road strike, and again in 1906 it did splendid service at Oakland, California, in connec- tion with the disastrous fire at San Francisco. From June 19, 1916, to November II, 1916, this regiment was in the Federal Serv- ice in connection with the Mexican Border trouble, and was stationed at Nogales, Ari- zona, most of the time. They were again mobilized for active service, March 26, 1917, and were mustered into the Federal Service, August 5, 1917. The 160th Infantry is the successor of the Seventh California Infantry.

Department of Marne. 68 HISTORY OF THE HISTORY OF THE 65TH FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE The 65th F. A. Brigade (N. G.) was composed of the 143rd, 144th and 145th Regi- ments of Field Artillery, the I 15th Trench Mortar Battery, and the 1 15th Ammunition Train. The 143rd and 144th Regiments were made up of California troops, the former Regiment having been formed around the old 1st Battalion of California National Guard Artillery as a nucleus. The 144th Field Artillery was an entirely new organization, having been recruited and organized through the efforts and zeal of certain prominent Californians from San Francisco and its vicinity, among whom may be mentioned Col. Thornwell Mullally, Lieut. Col. W. G. Devereux, Major Stewart Edward White. Major Archibald M. Johnson and Captain Peter B. Kyne. The 145th Artillery (which existed for a short time prior to the date of muster in as 1st Utah Field Artillery) was made up entirely of Utah troops and was organized from the first separate battery of Utah National Guard Artillery, in existence for many years, and from the Utah Cavalry. The 115th Trench Mortar Battery was organized from Machine Gun Company, 2nd Colorado Infantry, and the I 15th Ammunition Train mostly from National Guard troops of the State of Colorado, although some members of it were from the States of Arizona and New Mexico. The brigade was mobilized at Camp Kearny, California, during the months of October and November, 1917. Of the brigade the 145th Field Artillery Regiment was the first to arrive, reaching Kearny on October 13th from Fort Douglas. Utah, where its preliminary mobilization had taken place. It was soon followed by the 2nd Battalion of the 143rd Field Artillery, which had been stationed at Arcadia, California, since its preliminary mobilization on August 5th. Toward the latter part of October, the 144th Field Artillery made its appearance from Tanforan Park, California, where it was first mobilized. The first battalion of the 143rd Field Artillery did not arrive until the latter part of November, as its material was in use at the Presidio of California at the 2nd Officers' Training Camp. With the arrival of the first battalion of the 143rd Field Artillery, the brigade was, for the first time, brought together in its entirety, for already the troops which were to compose the 1 1 5th Trench Mortar Battery and the 1 I 5th Ammunition Train had arrived at Camp Kearny and were being rapidly converted and organized into those units. In charge of the several units of the brigade upon their arrival at Camp Kearny were the following field officers: Col. Richard W. Young was in command of the 145th Field Artillery; with him were Lieut. Col. W. C. Webb and Majors Leroy Bourne and William Kneass. During the fall Capt. Alex R. Thomas, and later, Capt. Curtis Y. Clawson were promoted to the grade of Major. Capt. Fred T. Gundry was adjutant of the regiment upon its arrival at Kearny; and he was succeeded in turn by Captains Thomas. Clawson and Ward Major Willard Christopherson was surgeon and Lieut. B. H. Roberts was Chaplain. 143rd Field Artillery: Col. Ralph J. Faneuf, commanding, with Lieut. Col. Fred W. Peterson. Majors Harry F. Huber and Edward Van Vranken and Captain and Adjutant Harold P. Ferguson. Lieut. Col. Peterson and Major Huber remained in the United States, and Major Gundry, Brigade Adjutant, became Lieutenant-Colonel, Capt. Ferguson became Major, and Captain Luer was designated as Regimental Adjutant. Major Loiseaux was surgeon and Lieut. Fred C. Thompson Chaplain. 144th Field Artillery was under the command of Lieut. Col. Thornwell Mullally. he being the only field officer of the regiment upon arrival. Very soon thereafter, how- ever, Lieut. Col. Mullally was later made a full Colonel and Lieut. Col. Harry Wilbur FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 69 of the Coast Art Uery. U. S. Regular Army, was assigned to the regiment as its Lieutenant- Colonel, and Captains Stewart Edward White. W. G. Devereux and Archibald M. Johnson were made Majors, subsequently Major Devereux was promoted to be Lieuten- ant-Colonel and Captains Graves and Hussey became Majors of the regiment, and Captain Elmer E. Chase Adjutant. Major Johnson was soon sent to France to the Staff College, and did not again join the regiment, which remained with but two Majors until overseas. Captain Henry I. Scott was Adjutant of the regiment upon its arrival at Kearny. Captain David Crabtree was surgeon. Lieut. Col. W. C. Porterfleld was first placed in command of the I 13th Ammunition Train, being later succeeded by Lieut. Col. Harry H. Donkersley. Field officers were Majors Earl Cooley and F. W. Hall. The Adjutant of the Train was David A. Eraser. Captain C. E. Doke was in command of the I 13th Trench Mortar Battery through- out its service. Before the arrival of the first battalion of the 143rd Field Artillery in November, a brigade school had been organized and was in full swing under the direction of Lieut. Col. W. C. Webb of the 143th Field Artillery, although until the arrival of that battaliou the school had to accomplish the training of its gun squad, as well as of its officers, in standing gun drills by the use of a single battery of 3-inch guns. This work demanded nice manipulation of schedules and the efficient use of time, but the work was very effectively accomplished, and good results obtained. The school covered about a two months' course, commencing October 3ist. and ending December 22nd. 1917. with a two weeks' service practice on the range. From its mobilization until about April 30th. 1918. the brigade was commanded by Brig. Gen. Leroy S. Lyon, a graduate of the United States Military Academy in 1891. and who. since that time, had served constantly in the United States Army, during the greater part of the time with field artillery, at other times with coast artillery regi- ments, and as artillery inspector in the Inspector General s Department of the Army. Captain Otto E. Sandman from 143rd Field Artillery first served as Acting Brigade Adjutant, and was later followed, in the month of November. 1917, by Captain Fred T. Gundry of the 143th Field Artillery, who was later promoted to the grade of Major, and became the Brigade Adjutant, the duties of which office he fulfilled until the brigade was at Camp de Souge in France, when he was transferred to the 143rd Field Artillery of which, shortly after, he was made its Lieutenant-Colonel. The brigade staff, as such, was not selected or organized until late in December, 1917, at which time Lieutenants Raymond S. Armsby and Roy E. Wood were selected as aides-de-camp to General Lyon. Captains Otto E. Sandman and Phillip S. Finnell were the two Captains selected for the staff as prescribed by the then Tables of Organiza- tion. Lieutenants Charles E. McDowell. Joe Weston. Joseph W. Sobel and Paul Wil- liams were the other members of the staff, whose duties were unassigned up until the time the brigade left for overseas service. The headquarters of the detachment was made up of 34 enlisted specialists, later being increased to 63, on arrival on French soil. The training of the brigade progressed quite rapidly during the winter months of 1917-18. Upon the last days of January and first days of February the three regiments of the brigade fired offensive barrages upon the range at Camp Kearny, the whole month of January having been spent in preparation therefor. The brigade then had twenty 3-inch rifles and a sufficient complement of horses. The results were most satisfactory, and the barrages themselves were pronounced by French artillery officers present as fully equal to those put down in actual warfare. During the remainder of the winter and spring months, special attention was given to the training of junior officers in recon- naissance and firing, and a series of problems was conducted in this work, which continued well into the month of May. Some firing was done in conjunction with aerial observa- tion by planes from North Island. Gun complacements. communicating trenches and deep shelter pits, of an extensive and elaborate character, were constructed and used. 70 HISTORY OF THE In April, 1918, Brig. Gen. Leroy S. Lyon was promoted to the grade of Major General, and assigned to command the 31st division at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, and Col. Richard W. Young of the 143th Field Artillery, also a West Pointer, was promoted to the grade of Brigadier General, and placed in command of the 65th Brigade. Lieutenant Raymond S. Armsby and Charles E. McDowell were designated as aides-de-camp to General Lyon with the rank of Captain. 2nd Lieut. George D. Keyser, 145th Field Artillery, and 2nd, afterward 1st Lieut. R. E. Wells, Jr., 9th Field Artillery, came to brigade staff as aides to General Young. Early in January, 1918, the 1 44th and 145th Regiments of Field Artillery were partly equipped temporarily with 4.7 guns, and obtained therefrom the advantage of standing gun drills, and a small amount of service practice, but the guns were soon after removed from Camp Kearny for use at Fort Sill. Late in the month of May. and during the month of June, practice marches were taken by all regiments of the brigade, the 143rd Field Artillery Regiment mounted and the 144th and 145th Regiments dismounted. These marches covered a period of ap- proximately three weeks, and a distance of from 100 to 150 miles in the case of the two dismounted regiments, to 273 miles for the 143rd Field Artillery, which marched as far as Los Angeles. In May, 1918, the brigade detached a few men for immediate overseas duty and in June, under the "June Automatic Draft," 1 100 men were sent to France, many, most in fact, of whom saw active duty at the front. The brigade was ordered on overseas service about the middle of July, 1918. the advance detachment leaving Kearny on July 24th. and sailing from New York August 5th. The brigade arrived and was encamped at Camp Mills. Long Island, for trans- portation overseas on August 4th. 5th and 6th. embarking August 14th. and sailing from New York harbor the following day. The trip overseas was made without incident, further than the real or fancied attacks on two occasions by submarines which were driven off by artillery fire from the transport. The brigade landed at Liverpool at August 28th, where it remained for two days at Knotty Ash, a rest camp. Trans- portation by rail was then made to Southampton; another rest of two days and then the trans-shipment across the English Channel for Le Havre. France, was effected. There again a two days' rest was had when the whole brigade entrained for Poitiers, in the vicinity of which the brigade was billeted for a period of several weeks, when it again entrained for the Pessac District, immediately south of Bordeaux. The brigade head- quarters were established at the village of Gradignan (Gironde). Within two or three weeks all of the brigade except the 144th Field Artillery and the Trench Mortar Battery, moved into Camp de Souge, which is situated about 25 kilometers west and south of Bordeaux, at which camp the brigade was to do its training before service at the front. The training here consisted of a six weeks' course, which commenced about Sep- tember 26th, and was concluded on November 9th, and during which a very thorough theoretical and practical schooling and experience was given both officers and enlisted men in all branches of the field artillery service as actually employed at the front. The 144th Field Artillery took its training at Clermont-Ferrand in Central France, where the school for the training of the heavy, or I 55 mm. regiments was situated. In its place the 338th Field Artillery, under Colonel Rahkoff, was attached to the 65th Brigade for its course of training at Camp de Souge. The brigade at this latter place and the 144th Field Artillery at Clermont-Ferrand all made very enviable records, and were very highly commended by the staff of instructors at their respective training camps upon completion of their courses. Shortly after the arrival of the brigade in the vicinity of Bordeaux, the brigade staff was reorganized under Tables of Organization issued from General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces. Major Gundry, the Brigade Adjutant, became Chief FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 71 of Staff, with the rank of Major, in which position, he was succeeded by Captain Robert I. Bentley, Jr., of the 144th Field Artillery. 1st Lieut. Luke A. Kelly, who had long been on duty at General Headquarters, was assigned as Assistant Adjutant. Captain Bentley, prior to his appointment as Brigade Adjutant, had been designated as Chief of the Operations Department of the Staff, in which position he was succeeded by Captain Paul Williams. 1st Lieutenants Willard D. Wolcott and George C. Cannon. Jr.. were assigned to duty in this department as assistants. Captain Fred H. Hover of the 143rd Field Artillery served at the head of the Intelligence and Information Department, with Lieutenant Eugene H. Franzden of the same regiment as his assistant. Captain Wesley E. King of the 145th Field Artillery was placed in charge of the Department of Munitions and Supplies, and, later, 2nd Lieutenant Benny Hampton, 144th Field Ar- tillery, was designated as his assistant. 1st Lieutenant Joseph W. Sobel of the 145th Field Artillery was assigned to take charge of Communications, with 1st Lieutenant R. E. Wells, Jr., of the 9th Field Artillery as his assistant in charge of radio work. At the time of the signing of the Armistice on November I I th, the brigade was ready to move to the front, and was being rapidly equipped with guns and other material. After the Armistice, the brigade was soon gathered together at Camp Genicart. the embarkation camp near Bordeaux. The entire brigade was embarked from Bordeaux for the United States before the first of the year, except, however, the 1 1 5th Ammunition Train, which remained at Camp de Souge. The 1 1 5th Trench Mortar Battery was never with the brigade after its arrival in France, having pursued its training to Vitry-le- Francois. On arrival in the United States, the 143rd and 144th Regiments were sent to the Presidio at San Francisco, and the 143th to Logan. Utah, for demobilization, all of the regiments being discharged and demobilized by the end of January, 1919. 1st Lieutenant Georges Bernheim of the French Army was on duty with the brigade constantly from its mobilization at Camp Kearny until it sailed from Bordeaux, and proved to be an efficient and agreeable companion AMERICAN TROOPS OF TIIK • • SUNSH] N K ' ' DIVISION IN FRANCE, liHS. 72 HISTORY OF THE THE 115TH ENGINEERS The Engineer Regiment of the 40th Division was one of two of the division units which saw combat duty. This regiment was formed in August, 1917, from the 1st BattaHon of Colorado Engineers. National Guard, and Troop E, 1st Colorado Cavalry, National Guard. The personnel of the battalion of Colorado Engineers was recruited in large part from the School of Mines, Boulder, Colorado, and thus a splendid body of technically trained men were brought to the Division. The regiment was filled to strength by officers from Engineer Officers' Training Camps, and by enlisted men care- fully picked from the entire Division for their previous training along lines which would suit them for the work of army engineers. Colonel George B. Pillsbury of the Regular Army was assigned to command the regiment when it was first formed, and he remained in that office during the entire period of training at Camp Kearny. Lieut. Col. Joseph C. Taylor was second in command, and Majors Archibald R. Livingston and Ivan C. Crawford were the battalion com- manders. Captain Raymond R. Mayther Adjutant; Captain Karl R. Schwendener, supply officer; and Captain Carl E. Grunsky, topographical officer were the other members of the staff. Captain Grunsky was later made personnel adjutant and Captain Lester W. Hurd, topographical officer. Immediately after the organization was completed, an intensive course of training was pursued, which included everything from road and bridge building to the latest problems of the engineer in modern warfare. This training culminated with a twenty- one days practice march and maneuver to Cuyamaca Lake, some seventy-five miles distant from Camp Kearny by road. The regiment was never called upon to furnish replacements except in the case of a few highly tramed specialists. It is interesting to note that the engineers were the largest unit in Camp Kearny just after the June Automatic Replacement Draft was sent overseas. The continuity of command and of personnel already referred to naturally built up a strong esprit and developed a thoroughly efficient machine, a fact which brought Colonel Pillsbury and his command the warmest commendation of the War Department, Together with the rest of the Division, the Engineers left Camp Kearny the latter part of July for France, going by way of Liverpool, Southampton and Cherbourg to the division area in the Department of Cher. The regiment detrained at Nerondes and marched to its billets in villages from six to fifteen miles from the railhead. Regimental headquarters were established at Mornay-Berry, and training was continued as well as possible where it was left off when the unit left Camp Kearny. The principal work of the regiment, outside of its training, after the Division was designated as a depot, was the construction of a Classification Camp to accommodate eight thousand casuals. La Guerche was designated as the site of this camp, and the work of planning and constructing a modern American camp was taken over by Colonel Pillsbury. Before the work was well under way, however. Colonel Pillsbury was trans- ferred to command the 102nd Engineers at the front; and the work was continued under the supervision of Captain Leslie W. Hurd, who was made Acting Division Engineer. The trained personnel of the 1 1 5th Engineers was used to the fullest extent, and in spite of innumerable handicaps, the camp appeared in an incredibly short time. In fact, the people of the little village looked upon its mushroom growth as little short of a miracle. Before the camp was completed, however, the regiment was designated as corps engineers and transferred to Chattillon sur Seine for further training, whence it was assigned to the Second Army and took up a position in the Toul sector. The record of the regiment after leaving the Fortieth has not been received to incorporate into this book, so that the details of its work at the fi-ont are not available. After the Armis- tice of November I 1 th, 1918, the regiment became part of the Army of Occupation. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 73 115TH TRAIN HEADQUARTERS 1. I 15th Train Headquarters and Military Police was organized under General Orders No. 23. October 23rd, 191 7, from Regimental Headquarters and Headquarters Company and Supply Company ist New Mexico Infantry. 2. The 1st New Mexico Infantry was called into Federal Service May 9th, 1916, and mustered into Federal Service at Columbus, New Mexico by companies of sixty- five enlisted men and three officers each after physical examination of each man and officer by Regular Army Officers. The Regiment was immediately placed under the orders of the Punitive Expedition and performed inner and outer guard duty at the Base of Supplies of the Punitive Expedition. Companies A and B were shortly thereaftei detached and placed under the order of the Border Patrol and stationed at Hachita with one squadron of the 12th U. S. Cavalry. 3. The stockade at Columbus, New Mexico, in which were confined the prisoners from the units of Punitive Expedition and the inner and outer guard for the town of Columbus and the Quartermaster warehouses required such a large guard that the men of the New Mexico Infantry were required to go on guard every other day for months, until the muster out of the regiment on April 5th, 1917. 4. On April 2 ist. 1917. the regiment was again called into Federal Service by the President and all of the men and officers who had not taken the New Federal Oath pre- scribed in the National Defense Act of June 3rd, 1916, were ordered discharged and the regiment was ordered to be recruited up to not to exceed 100 men per company for the present emergency. 5. On June 15th. 1917, the Regiment was ordered mobilized at Albuquerque. New Mexico, together with Battery A. New Mexico Field Artillery. The Regiment was thor- oughly drilled and well disciplined under its officers and the competent instruction of Captain W. V. Carter. Inspector Instructor. 6. It was well grounded in close and extended order, signalling, bayonet exercises, grenade throwing, trench digging, marching by day and night, and field maneuvers, as well as rifle practice. The law restricting the sale of liquors to soldiers had been care- fully observed, and all violations by men punished by confinement in a stockade.. A provisional M.P. force was organized by detail. Two officers were dismissed by court- martial composed of officers of the regiment for intoxication. It marched and drilled as veterans after seven months of diligent training, and officers and men alike all were proud of the character and performance of the organization. 7. On October 16th, 1917, the Regiment entrained for Camp Kearny, California, fourteen-hundred (1,400) strong, arriving at that destination October 19th. Upon ar- riving, the order organizing the 143rd and 144th Machine Gun Battalions and 115th Train Headquarters and Military Police went into effect. This was a severe blow to the officers and men alike, but all did their best to conform to the new conditions, and continued to give the best service of which they were capable. 8. The two companies. A and B. 115th Military Police were organized with the selection of Captain Edward L. Safford and Captain Cyprian W. McSherry, respectively in command with First Lieutenants James H. McHughes and Thomas W. Noe. Second Lieutenants John A. Lowe and Robert L. Sessoms. The men were picked from those who had had former experience as M. P.'s with the regiment at Columbus and Albuquer- que and from the better material in the various companies of the New Mexico Infantry as far as possible under the difficulties met with in making transfers in effecting the new organizations. 9. Train Headquarters was organized with Colonel E. C. Abbott, former com- mander of First New Mexico Infantry commanding. Captain Charles H. McNair. Adjutant. 74 HISTORY OF THE Major Norman L. King, Major, and Lieutenant Marshall E. DeBord, Supply Officer. C. V. Clayton, Regimental Sergeant Major and P. F. Sena, Battalion Sergeant Major. 10. The provisional M.P. force on duty in San Diego was relieved by degrees until on January 1st, 1918, the regular M.P. force had relieved all officers detailed pending the organization of the Division. The Stockade at Camp Kearny was taken over on its completion by Train Headquarters and Military Police, and the necessary guard detailed from the M.P. force. I I. On January 1st, the M.P. detachment in San Diego was placed under the com- mand of Major Norman L. King, and some necessary changes were soon found necessary in the interest of impartial, efficient service. 12. On July 26th, 1918, orders were received for the movement of the division overseas, and the M.P. detachment in San Diego was withdrawn and equipment packed. On July 31st, Train No. 41 carrying the Train Headquarters and Company B, Military Police left Camp Kearny arriving at Camp Mills, August 7th. 13. On August 10th, Companies A and B and Train Headquarters less the Lieu- tenants boarded the British freighter " Port Dennison" and sailed on August II th at I P.M. On August 24th, while in sight of the land off La Havre, the ship encountered a submarine which was promptly attacked by three destroyers and reported sunk. Some twenty depth bombs being discharged in close proximity to the ship. The ship docked safely at noon, and after twenty-four hours in a British rest camp boarded a train for La Guerche which the organization reached on August 27th, and the division was transformed into a Depot Division, much to the bitter disappointment and surprise of officers and men. 14. On October 31st, 1918, companies A and B, M.P. were consolidated into 40th Military Police Company, M.P. Corps under the command of Captain Edward L. Saf- ford with 1st Lieutenant M. E. DeBord and 2nd Lieutenant John R. McFie, Jr.. there being two vacancies for Lieutenants. Captain Cyprian W. McSherry was appointed Adjutant Train Headquarters on the transfer of Captain Charles H. McNair to the 2nd Army and Lieutenant Robert L. Sessons was appointed Supply Officer on the transfer of Lieutenant Lowe to the Quartermaster Corps.

Wolking FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 75 115TH SANITARY TRAIN (Ambulance Section) The foundation of the four companies comprising the ambulance section of the H5th Sanitary Train. 40th Division, was laid at Napa, Cahfornia, in March. 1913, when Captain C. H. Bulson of that city organized the First California Ambulance Company, one of the first ambulance units formed for military service west of the Missis- sippi River. The other companies in the I I 3th Sanitary Train were: Second California Ambulance Company, organized at Los Angeles, California, April, 1917. and two new units, composed mainly of Liberty Army men from the Middle West, augmented by members of the two National Guard Ambulance Companies, transferred to assist in the training of the Liberty men. The First California Ambulance Company became Ambulance Company 137 of the 113th Sanitary Train on August 20th, 1917. at Arcadia, California, where it was mustered into the Federal Service. This same organization had previously seen five months' Federal Service at Nogales. Arizona, on Mexican border duty in 1916. under Captain Charles H. Bulson. Medical Corps. N. G. C. The Second California Ambulance Company became the 138th Company of the 113th Sanitary Train on August 23rd. 1917. at Arcadia, and the 139th and 160th Companies were formed at Camp Kearny. November 3th. 1917. (Field Hospital Section) The Field Hospital Section of the train was organized from two California Hospital Companies, one Utah Hospital Company and one formed from the Sanitary Detachment of the 2nd Colorado Infantry. The First California Field Hospital Company forming the I 37th Field Hospital Company, was organized January 1st, 1912, from the Los Angeles district and was in the Federal Service at Nogales, Arizona, during 1916, on Mexican border duty, under the command of Major Charles W. Decker. Medical Corps. N. G. C, this organization was again mustered into Federal Service on August 3th. 1917. The Second California Field Hospital Company, forming the 138th Field Hospital Company of the train, was recruited from San Jose and the Santa Clara Valley, prior to their muster into the Federal Service August 5th. 1917. The First Utah Field Hospital Company, forming the I 39th Field Hospital Company, was an old organization in the Utah National Guard, and was also mustered into the Federal Service on August 3th, 1917. The 160th Field Hospital Company was organized at Camp Kearny. October 13th. 1917. 115TH SUPPLY TRAIN (^Formerly Supply Company and First Battalion Second Colorado Infantry) The Second Colorado Infantry was a volunteer organization, recruited during May. June and July. 1917. It was drafted into Federal Service August 3th. 1917. The organi- zation is largely composed of young men from the State of Colorado. During the period of training at Camp Kearny, this train aided the Camp transportation companies more and more until it finally took over the entire work of motor transportation for the Divi- sion. The train handled all transportation problems which presented themselves in both the La Guerche and the Revigny areas in France. In addition to this, the personnel was largely drawn upon for the Miscellaneous Detachment, when that organization was formed in conformity with the tentative table of organizations for the Sixth Depot Division. The train was with the Division constantly until arrival back in the United States. 76 HISTORY OF THE BALBOA Hi ^ SAN DIEG i r- DIVISION STAFF WITH BRITISH ANI FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 77 LIFORNIA :nch missions at camp kearny 78 HISTORY OF THE 115TH FIELD SIGNAL BATTALION On September 3, 1917, Company "B". California N. G. Signal Corps, arrived at the as yet uncompleted cantonment of Camp Kearny, California, where on the 27th of the same month it was joined by Company "B", Colorado N. G. Signal Corps. Both of these companies had creditable records of Border experience, and formed an excellent nucleus for the 1 13th Field Siganl Battalion, which was so designated by G. O. No. 1 1, Hq. 40th Div. dated 24 September, 1917. The newly formed organization was recruited to war strength in Southern California, thus making it a logical part of the "Sunshine" Division to which it was attached. The personnel was of the highest order, and par- ticularly well qualified for the work to come. Forty former enlisted m.en of the Battalion now hold commissions, in addition to a number who would shortly have been "made" except for the cessation of hostilities. Capt. E. A. Sm.ith, N. G. acted as Battalion Com- mander until the arrival of Major Robert C. Vickers, S.R.C., who has retained command of the Battalion to date. Under the most efficient supervision of Lieut. Col. Robert M. Nolan, the Division Signal Officer of the Sunshine Division, and of Major Vickers as Commanding Officer, the Battalion made rapid strides in mastering the technique of modern signal practice, having also the good fortune of being assisted in its training by the perfect climatic con- ditions of San Diego County, California, and by the excellent personnel of the French Military Mission, the services of Lieut. S. Groslier being especially valuable in adapting our American methods to meet the requirements of trench warfare. After a long training period which brought the organization to a high state of ef- ficiency, the long-awaited Oversea Order found the Battalion eager to play its part in the great struggle, and it was a day of rejoicing and satisfaction, when, on July 3L 1918, we entrained for the Port of Embarkation. At Camp Mills the usual outfitting process was gone through with, after which the Battalion proceeded to Montreal, arriving there on August 13th, embarking the same day on H.M.S. "Bhamo ', having the distinction of being the first troops transported by this Ship, and the Battalion Commander being designated as O.C. U. S. Troops. Successfully dodging all enemy divers, Avonmcuth, England, was reached August 31st; thence via "Rest Camp ' route of Southampton and the Cherbourg, setting foot on French soil, the long awaited goal of our ambitions, on September 2nd, the Battalion proceeded in the famous "40 Hommes — 8 Chevaux" style to La Guerche (Cher), where it made the acquaintance of the equally famous billeting system in vogue on this side. It was here that the sun of the "Sunshine" Division was temporarily obscured by a cloud officially characterized as an order changing the status of the 40th Division to a Depot Division. Having no need, therefore, of Signal troops, the Battalion was de- tached and ordered to Chatillon-Sur-Seine for equipment and for instructions at the Second Army Corps School. Two ties, however, continued for a time to bind it to La Guerche and the "Sunshine" Division; the first being its Major, left behind in the Hos- pital with the mumps, much to his disgust; and the second being a Second Lieutenant of "C ' Company who was left behind as Division Signal Officer, Lieut. Col. Nolan hav- ing been assigned to a combat Division. This is perhaps the first time a 2nd Lieut, was thus designated by order. On October 14th the Battalion entrained for Tcul, having been assigned to the Headquarters Second Army, and two days later reported to Colonel H. B. Black, Chief Signal Officer, for duty. Here at last was real work to be done, and the Battalion set out with a will to put to practical use its months of training. Added to the difficulty of the work, the need of haste, and the obstacles to be overcome, was the task of making the reorganization and necessary modifications to meet the requirements of Army Signal work, after having been trained solely with the view of functioning as a Divisional FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 79 Battalion. However, the Battalion quickly adapted itself to the new order of things, and soon the Outpost Company, for example, could, if called upon, construct a per- manent 10-pin, standard cross-arm pole line with as much facility as in former days they could operate a four-drop monotype in maneuvres. Within a short time we had taken over and were successfully operating, maintaining and extending the Army system of communications. Company "A", Radio, under the command of Capt. Frank M. Koch, opened the Army Radio Net Control Station on Oct. 18th, and thereafter took over from the First Army or established a number of other stations, some of which were the envy of the re- mainder of the Battalion by being exposed to some little danger. Those at St. Mihiel and Woinville, for instance, were subjected to frequent enemy air raids, while artillery fire was a common occurence at Pannes and Dieulouard in addition to air raids. Shells exploding within fifty yards of the Pannes station gave the operators a thrill, while at Dieulouard a gas attack proved to be just as exciting but less to be desired. These facts are mentioned to show that even a Battalion attached to an Army is not altogether immune from the risk of stopping a projectile. This company also furnished a detail to operation radio station for the 2nd French Colonial Corps, and a detail to operate pack set for the French Metro Station at Troyon. Commanded first by Capt. Edward V. Orr and later by Capt. Horace B. Ingalls, the work of Company "C", (Outpost) also deserves special mention. Its first important task was the improvement of the Toul telephone system, where soon an orderly system of new and reconstructed lines took the place of the former tangle. Three thousand feet of cable strung on messenger, numerous 40-drop switchboard installations, per- manent pole line construction Toul-Boucq and Toul-Royaumeix, telephone centrals established and operated, telegraph operators furnished, innumerable phones installed and connections made with Post Signal Exchange, etc., etc., indicate the versatility of this Company. The operation of one W.E. Telephone Tractor containing a five position multiple switchboard, and one W. E. Telegraph Tractor with five sending po- sitions, also fell to this Company. Many of the exchanges operated throughout the Army area were maintained jointly with the French, which sometimes added to the difficulty of the situation, not through lack of desire for cooperation on both sides, but from mis- understanding. "B" Company, commanded first by 1st Lieut. James I. Davis, later by Capt. E. V. Orr and subsequently by Capt. Ira H. Treest. was held in reserve and given special train- ing for getting lines forward at a moment's notice in case of an advance, but also furn- ished details for important work in the vicinity of Toul and constructed some close-in lines. Besides its record of work accomplished, this Battalion has the enviable record of having had no deaths from any cause. Moreover, out of a total of 756 enlisted men whose names have at various times appeared on its rolls, there have been only seven venereal cases, and there has been but little serious sickness. By reason of its assignment as an Army Battalion, this organization had no oppor- tunity for the achievement of brilliant exploits in the face of danger, or feats of personal valor. Ours the more prosaic, but none the less important part of maintaining communi- cations behind the firing line. While not spectacular, the work was often performed under difficulties and adverse conditions: but in spite of handicaps the Battalion may be justly proud of its labors cheerfully and faithfully performed, and its part in bringing to a victorious close the War of Wars. Quoting the Bible, "As his part is who goeth down into the battle, so shall his part be who tarrieth with the stuff." May we not paraphrase, "As his part is who goeth over the top, so shall his part be who gets com- munications through." 80 HISTORY OF THE 143d MACHINE GUN BATTALION (Formerly First and Second Battalions, First New Mexico Infantry) The First and Second Battalions of the First New Mexico Infantry, which was organized prior to the Mexican border trouble, spent eleven months on the border, from May 9th. 1916. to April 3th. 1917. while a part of that organization, and took an important part in General Pershing s Punitive Expedition. Parts of the battalions were stationed at Columbus. Hatchita. Los Animas and Elephant Butte. New Mexico. This organization was only out of the Federal Service twenty days when it was a3ain called to the colors and sent to Albuquerque. New Mexico, being mobilized ther? for five months. They were then sent to Camp Kearny. California, arriving October l^th. 1917, at which time they were formed into their present organization. The Batta'iDn accompanied the Division to France, and was occupied in forwarding replacements with headquarters at Mentou (Cher) until October 26th. 1919. when, together with the 139th Infantry Regiment, it was transferred to Pont de Metz (Somme) in the neighbor- hood of Amiens to take over the work of the Second Corps Provisional Replacement Battalion. After the Armistice was signed, the Battalion again joined the Division in the Bordeaux embarkation area, where it was filled with casuals for transportation to the United States. Major Jefferson D.

THE SOCIAL KnoM OF "Y" NO. 1. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 157 THE Y. M. C. A. AND THE 40TH DIVISION From the tirre the first units that made up the 40th Division arrived at Camp Kearny, until the last units of the division were discharged from the camp, after their months overseas, the Young Men's Christian Association at Camp Kearny has been at the service of the men. When the first troops arrived at Linda Vista before the camp was constructed, a "Y" tent was put up, and the service was increased as the number of troops increased. The first building. "Number Three," which served the men of the 157th and 160th, was opened September 26, 1917; and by October 9, the other main buildings on the parade ground had been opened. When some weeks later the buildings at the Hospital and the Remount Depot, and later still that at the Recruit Camp were built, there was total of eight huts in the camp. The first General Secretary was Mr. F. A. Jackson. In December. 1917. he was transferred to San Francisco and succeeded by the Camp Religious Work Director, Mr. John R. Voris. In April, 1918. Mr. John Fechter succeeded Mr. Voris. When Mr. Fechter was sent overseas Mr. F. G. Ainley, formerly Building Secretary at "Number One," became Camp General Secretary, and in that capacity greeted the m.en of the 40th who came back to Kearny for demobilization. While the 40th was at Camp Kearny, the "Y" buildings were lively places. In a real sense the "homes" of the men, they were crowded day and night, the average attend- ance at each building running about 5,000 a day. and requiring from five to eight secre- taries to serve them. Three "movies " a week; an entertainment of stunts by the men themselves or vaudeville by outside artists; frequent athletic programs; lectures by prominent educators and speakers of national repute; and religious services on Sunday and a mid-week night; kept the auditoriums full every night in the week. In the social hall the men found a welcoming fire on cold nights; thirty or forty current magazines and newspapers from their home towns. From 1200 to 2000 books on the library shelves, from fiction and poetry to war literature and text books, furnished them plenty of reading material; checkers, chess, and dominos were provided. At the service desk they found a small canteen. Here they bought as many as $100 worth of stamps a day. Here they cashed or bought money orders, one building reporting $7,000 in two days; and here they kept their money for safekeeping. Here once a week they got their copies of the camp paper. "Trench and Camp." furnished free by the "Y." At the "Y" the men received all kinds of athletic equipment in large quantities; at the "Y" once a week they found the "Mending Mothers" to mend their clothes. At the "Y" they attended Bible classes, the enrollment being at one time as high as 2000 men. At the "Y" hundreds of men of foreign speech received their first instruction in English. Other men studied French and mathematics and so on about 600 men each night attended classes in fifteen to twenty different subjects. The thousands of men who could not get away from camp at Christmas time. 1917, will never forget the Christmas tree at the "Y" and the program given beside it. nor the 16,000 apples and 16,000 oranges that were given out to the men as a little Christmas remembrance. Nor will the men ever forget the Mothers' Day, 1918, when every man in camp was given a carnation, and 12,000 men attended the great service at the re- viewing stand at which Major General Strong presided and Madame Aldrich sang. When the division let Camp Kearny, and previously, when the June replacements left for overseas service, every train was accompanied by a "Y " secretary, who served the men in every possible way from their departure from Camp Kearny until after their arrival at the port of embarkation, 70 trains were served in this way. 138 HISTORY OF THE LIST OF Y.

Probably the sentiments of the Officers generally are expressed in the following letter from Major General Strong toMr. Voris on the occasion of the Christmas tree already referred to: Headquarters 40th Division, Camp Kearny, California, December 26, 1917 Mr. John R. Voris, General Secretary, Young Men's Christian Association, Camp Kearny, California. My dear Mr. Voris: Will you please accept my personal thanks and great appreciation for all that you and your assistants have accomplished in your efforts to promote the happiness, pleasure and comfort for the men who have remained in camp during the holiday season. Words failed to express our appreciation, but you must realize from your association with the men, that you have received their heartfelt thanks, to which I wish to add my own. 1 must take this occasion to again say that the Y. M. C. A. is doing a wonderful work in the camp, and that your activities make for discipline and efficiency in every way. With best wishes and many thanks , Major General, N.A., Commanding. Sincerely yours, F. S. Strong (Signed) 160 HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS HEADQUARTERS + AMERICAN RED f KKli CROSS HEADC^I'Ah'TKKS, CAAll' KIJAK.W. Early in the fall of 1917 the American Red Cross established a Bureau of Camp Service and Military Relief at this camp in charge of a field director. Its work was largely directed in supplying the men with the necessary comforts in the way of sweaters, helmets, and other articles required for overseas service. It aided materially in supplying the infirmaries with many articles for emergency use. Its representatives worked constantly among the men, counseling and advising them and rendering such service as would have a tendency to maintain the morale of the Army. It was not however until after the 40th Division had left that the Red Cross was able to render full service either to the men or the military organization. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION THE JEWISH WELFARE BOARD IN CAMP KEARNY Hand in hand with the seven sister organizations and the American Red Cross. having for their aim the upbuilding and preservation of the morale of the United States Army and Navy, the Jewish Welfare Board ministers first, to the needs of all officers and enlisted men. and secondly, to the special needs of Jewish men in service. This Board is officially recognized by the United States Government, and has the unqualified support of American Jewry. With a comprehensive program embracing the recreational, educational, social, religious and personal features of army life, the Jewish Welfare Board stepped into the field immediately upon the declaration of war. It soon discovered the gratifying fact that the Jewish portion of the army was considerable in number and quite important in the part it took in the general conduct of military preparations. The total Jewish population of the United States does not exceed three per cent of the whole, whereas in the Army and Navy, it has a representation of between five and six per cent. At Camp Kearny, during the time of the training of the Fortieth Division. Dr. George Rubenstein represented the Jewish Welfare Board. Together with his successor. Mr. Eimon L. Weiner. the work was carried on with great intelligence and vigor. They perfected the community organization as well as the plan for a Jewish Welfare Board Hut within the Camp. An incomplete registration list of men of Jewish faith shows between five and six hundred enlisted men and twenty-five officers in the Fortieth Division. Mr. M. P. Ostrow. the present Representative in charge of the Jewish Welfare Board, has thrown himself heart and soul into the work. He has been aided by the valuable services of Herbert C. Goldman, and a number of prominent citizens of San Diego and Los Angeles. These latter are rendering volunteer service. Mr. Ostrow has carried out the Jewish Welfare Board program in the Camp, as well as in adjacent communities. Entertainments, dances, and social visists to the men in Camp have been functioning continuously every week. In addition to Camp entertainments, these were also held in the city club rooms of the Jewish Welfare Board at 1 1 38 Third Street. San Diego. Regular visits to the Camp Hospital have been made daily, the visitors supplying p atients with small comforts, and gifts of fruit, cigarettes, etc. Upon the return of the Fortieth Division, the Jewish Welfare Board concentrated its endeavor at the Convalescent Center, in conjunction with the Knights of Columbus, and at the Hospital, where they worked in harmony with the Red Cross. Major General Frederick S. Strong had occasion to observe the work of the Jewifeh Welfare Board in Camp Kearny, and he has graciously complimented its workers upon their untiring efforts in connection with the welfare of the men in this Camp. HEADQUARTERS OF THE JEWISH WELFARE BOARD, CAMP KEARNY. 162 HISTORY OF THE ATHLETICS IN THE 40TH DIVISION By John R. Case, Jr., Division Athletic Director Camp Kearny the home of the 40th Division, the training camp farthest from the war. proved admirable for the purpose for which it was intended. The name "Sunshine Division' was well selected, as will be evident when it is understood that in all our games over a period of ten months, rain checks were never needed. As might be expected all branches of athletics flourished under such perfect conditions. On September 25, 1917, the following Bulletin was issued from Division Headquarters, starting the organization which guided all our athletic activities: BULLETIN NO. 4 (EXTRACT) 1 . Mr. John R. Case, Division Athletic Director, will have general charge of all athletic activities within the division. 2. Each Regimental Commander will designate an officer as Athletic Officer, and four assistants, who will confer with the Division Athletic Director on all matters per- taining to athletics. Names of officers so designated will be submitted to Division Headquarters not later than October I. By command of Brigadier General Cameron: L. O. Mathews. Major of Infantry, Division Adjutant. This body of athletic officers met each week with the Division Athletic Director, forming the Division Athletic Council. Standing committees in each sport managed division teams, and made out schedules, for inter-regimental games. Athletics within the various units were under the control of the respective athletic officer. The K. of C. and Y. M. C. A. have always been represented on the Division Athletic Council, and have rendered valuable assistance by placing their men and equipment at the service of the athletic officers. The success of athletics in the 40th Division has always been very largely due to the constant sympathetic support of the Commanding General, and the cooperation of officers and men from all branches of the service. The value of athletics as a supplement to the regular military training was recognized from the beginning, and hard even com- petition, team work, and splendid individual performances have characterized all branches of sport. In January, 1918, Mr. George Blake reported as Division Boxing Director, and at once that sport took a leading place in camp which it has held ever since, due very largely to his constant and expert instruction and management. The Camp Boxing Tourna- ments held at intervals of about six weeks, have brought out many fine new boxers, most of whom were discovered in the company boxing classes, and the physical training, and bayonet schools. This fine sport has justified itself from every point of view, and will stand high in favor with every man trained in this camp. ^iky^i^i'f'Ul^^^^^^ FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 163 Mass athletics have proved very successful as a recreation, as a branch of physical training, and as a stimulant to esprit de corps. Our system has been to prepare a program of team contests such as relays, obstacle races, tugs of war, wall scaling, grenade throwing, team races, and military events, each one requiring the participation of from 18 to 59 men on a team. An entire morning would be devoted to this program, each regiment holding a complete field day of it's own. Then a week or two later the winning regimental teams would meet in a Division Field Day for a pennant or cup representing the Division Championship. The best feature of these mass contests was the fact that all the men in camp were on the field, and the competitors far outnumbered the spectators. The value of recreative games as a part of the physical training schedule was recog- nized at the start, and a school was established lasting one month, in which such games were taught for two hours each day to one Commissioned Officer and one non-com from each company in camp. The result was at once noticeable in the increased pep and interest displayed in this branch of the training. Early in 1918 the first Division Physical Training School was established under the commend of Lt. H. C. Beaumont of the Canadian Army with the British Mission. In this school a two weeks course lasting five hours daily was given to non-commissioned officers from every company in camp. Mr. Blake taught bo.ving and hand to hand fighting, and Mr. Case the athletics and games. This school was repeated eight times over a period of 16 weeks and did more to improve the condition of the men and place athletics on a sound footing than anything else could have done. It also clearly proved the close relationship between athletics and physical training. Graduates of this school gave exhibitions in all the nearby cities and created a fine impression. The 40th Division left for overseas trained and hardened and with at least 6 to 8 trained instructors and athletic leaders in each company to keep the work up abroad. In September. 1918. all the Athletic Directors were ordered to Camp Gordon to attend the school in Bayonet and Physical Training under T. J. Browne of the Com- mission on Training Camp Activities. This was the first times these men had had a chance to compare notes, and correlate their ideas, and systems. Nothing could have been better for the work as a whole. Everyone I believe returned to his respective camp with new ideas, and a new and increased realization of responsibilities and opportunities. The policy in organized athletics has always been to emphasize inter-company and inter-regimental competition. As a result Division teams have not been formed when it was felt that their formation would detract from the intra-camp sports. Our Division Track teams have never been defeated, and our Division base-ball teams have held their own against all comers. No Division Football team was ever formed as our regimental teams were strong enough for all local competition. The parade ground, nearly two miles long and 300 yards wide has been our natural athletic field. As many as 25 base ball games have been going on at one time. For football it has been necessary to soften the surface somewhat by adding about three inches of sawdust and hand picking the stones. This has produced good field upon which a man could be tackled without injury. All our big events in camp have been outdoors on the parade ground, and usually in front of the reviewing stand. Lighting arrangements have made boxing at night possible on a movable ring, and at these shows every man in camp could see without trouble, although the seats only provided for 8,000. The late comers stood behind the others forming a big semicircle of O.D. around the center of attraction. The minor sports such as volley ball, playground ball, basket ball, etc., were played at all times on nearly every company street. By throwing back the tent flaps at night sufficient light would be supplied from the electric globes which lighted each tent, for valley ball, and basket ball. For these reasons no gymnasium has ever been needed. Our biggest athletic events have all been held in the San Diego Stadium, a fine concrete structure seating 39.000 and built during the San Diego Exposition in 1915. 164 HISTORY OF THE I- ''^Wf'?^*/¥^g^j Here we have met all our principal rivals, in particular the Naval Training blalion at Balboa Park, San Diego. The Army Navy games have furnished some of the best sport and the finest spectacles ever seen in Southern California. It has been a thrilling sight when the army, led by five or six of it's best bands marched into the east stand, and cheered the Navy as it filed into the west bleachers. The rooting and singing have been a big feature, and the two branches of the service have each sadly watched the other serpentine four abreast across the field, under the goal posts, and then all over town celebrating a victory. After watching the soldier and sailor as opponents fighting to the last whistle, it is easy to understand why they are irresistible when they are both on the same side against a common enemy. Service athletics in Southern California owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Jerome B. Pendleton of the San Diego War Camp Community Service. At his call the Athletic Directors of Camp Kearny, Naval Training Camp, Section Navy Base, Rockwell Field, North Island Aviation, Fort Rosecrans, Marine Post, and Cavalry patrol met with Mr. Marsh of the San Diego Playgrounds, forming a service Athletic Council. Through this medium, and using the Playgrounds and Stadium in the city, a constant interesting schedule of athletic events was maintained. A large amount of money was also raised through this council for the Red Cross, and other Service Relief agencies. Although demobilization is in progress and the War won, the interest and rivalry created here in the last 18 months will have a far reaching effect, and the remaining service units, though weaker numerically, will continue as far as possible the good work of the past. The following statistics taken from the athletic records may be of interest to people having friends, or relations in this camp as well as to men trained here.

In conclusion 1 might state that although the records made may not be up to those made by the best trained college athletes, still all these men were doing a full days work besides athletics, and in the future the trend of all sports in the United States is going to be greatly influenced by these men trained in our camps. 166 HISTORY OF THE HISTORY OF BOXING IN FORTIETH DIVISION On January 1, 1918. George V. Blake of Los Angeles, California, was assigned to Camp Kearny. California, as boxing instructor for the Fortieth Division. Shortly after his arrival, a school for boxing instructors was organized and as the men qualified as teachers, they were sent to their respective organizations to carry on the work. These schools were continued until every company had an instructor and. before the Division left for Over-Seas, nearly every man had some knowledge of the "art of self defense." Beside being one of the most useful forms of physical training, boxing gave the men experi- ence of personal contact and owing to its close resemblance to bayonet work, it was used as a preparatory training in all the Bayonet Schools in the Division. The primary object of boxing as taught in the Fortieth Division was to make skillful, self-reliant, hard-hitting fighting men rather than expert boxers. The first Divisional Boxing Tournament, held in March. 1918. proved that the Division not only had boxers in large numbers, but that the class of boxers was the equal of any other Division in the Army. This tournament lasted two nights. 22 bouts were staged and 13,000 men saw the contests. Major John F. Sherburn. Captain T. B. Bourne and Lieutenant Jesse Wickard. were the judges and George Blake acted as referee. The following men won the Class Championship: 115 pound class. Lee Ridgeway. 158th Infantry. 125 pound class, Gus Williams. 145th Field Artillery. 135 pound class. Johnny Stanton, 144th Field Artillery. 145 pound class, Joe Golinda, 160th Infantry. 158 pound class. Billy Madison, 144th Field Artillery. 175 pound class. Henry Pross. I 1 5th Ammunition Train. May 15, 1918, a second Tournament was held. The Champions of the first tourna- ment were barred from entering the second. The following named men won first place: 115 pound class. M. Valdez. 157th Infantry. 125 pound class. Ockie Fain. 159th Infantry. 135 pound class. Floyd Rotz. 65th F. A. Headquarters. 145 pound class. Wright Morgan, 157th Infantry. 158 pound class. Joe Comara. 144th Field Artillery. 175 pound class. Ernie Gisen. 144th Field Artillery. Heavy Weight class. Kenneth Harmon. 144th Field Artillery. Excellent showings were made by the following named men who fought their way to the finals and won second place: Lynch and C. L. Bartlett. 145th Machine Gun Battalion. Duncan. French and Shepard. 145th Field Artillery. Mendez. 143rd Field Artillery. Crowe, 1 1 5th Sanitary Train. Mulvaney, Headquarters Troop. Caldwell, 115th Military Police. Cantimbuhon. Cooper and Goodefellow, 144th Field Artillery. On the last day of this Tournament. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, boxed an exhibition with Sammy Pelsinger. crack welterweight of the Grizzlies and Gus Williams of the 145th Field Artillery. A panoramma picture taken at this Tournament showed 20.000 men around the ring. Convincing proof that the Fortieth Division boxers had an edge on boxers from other camps, was shown when the men tried their skill against these outsiders. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 167 On Washington's Birthday, 1918. a Service Boxing Meet was held in Oakland, and Camp Kearny was allowed but one entry. Joe Golinda of the 160th Infantry was sent to represent the Fortieth Division in the Welterweight Class. When the meet was over. Golinda sent the following telegram to George Blake: "Won Championship for Fortieth Division; beat three men in one night." On the trip over to France, Johnny Stanton won the decision over two Sailors and on the return trip, won a decision over another Sailor. Bert Lynch was the best boxer in the 145th Machine Gun Battalion and won a decision over three French boxers and was afterwards transferred to the A. E. F. Unit of Entertainers on account of his boxing ability, as was also Bert Coffey, another good boxer of this organizaion. Kenneth Harmon, the heavy weight champion of the Fortieth, won in a number of bouts against French and English opponents. Kenneth is, in civil life, an oil driller and although his hair is tinged with grey, he was one of the first to enlist with the Grizzlies when the call came and was ready at all times to match his skill with the gloves against opponents here and Over-Seas. Billy Madison was another of the Grizzlies' Boxers who gave a good account of himself in boxing bouts in France. A great deal of credit for the extensive boxing which was carried on in the Division and for the eagerness of the men to take part in contests, was due to the personal interest which Major General Strong took in boxing as a training course and as an athletic sport. A class in Jiu-jitsu was started by Instructor George Blake. April 1918. This style of attack and defense became very popular and was taught in the physical training schools and the schools for snipers. Corporal Whaley, of the 158th Infantry and Corporal Roberts and Johnny Stanton of the Grizzlies, excelled among the enlisted men. Captain Morgan Vining and Lieutenant Carey were the more expert among the officers, in this art. .lOilX R.

A. hostess house, centrally located in the camp, has been one of the busiest spots there during the whole time that the Fortieth has been stationed there. Donated by Miss Ellen Scripps of La Jolla it has been an integral part of the camp, and has been heartily accepted by the boys and their friends and relatives ever since the Thanksgiving Day in 1917 when it opened its doors and initiated its use- fulness with Thanksgiving doughnuts and cider. It has been the scene of many a festive gathering, and the talents of different members of the Fortieth have shone forth, there was rarely a night when one could not hear really first class singing and playing, inter- spersed of course with the invariable "Jazz". The spacious fireplace, for long the only one in the camp, has been the scene of many a corn-popping festival, and jolly social time. From the standpoint of the boys perhaps the principal thing for which the hostess house has stood has been the little touch of home which has meant so much to boys often away from home for the first time in their lives. But much as it has meant to the boys, the hostess house would not have been in camp, if it had not been for their mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts, and the women and girls, literally tens of thousands, who have been welcomed and helped by the hostesses during the occupancy of the Fortieth, have many times over justified its existence. Time and space would fail to even begin to tell the many thrilling stories which have been enacted within its walls, but a few stand out in bold relief — for example the young girl whose lover was hovering for weeks between life and death and who knew no one in Southern California, for whom the rule of non-residence was broken, and who stayed there several weeks until she was able to cany her convalescent lover home with her. And the mother, sent for too late, who was comforted by the hostess as only one woman can help another in that time of sorrow. Pictures come to mind of the young FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 169 wife sitting as close as possible to the soldier husband who in the mean time is getting acquainted with the infant son — and of the boy and girl sweethearts innocently making love under the tender eye of the hostess. When the Fortieth was leaving, the hostess house was crowded morning, noon and night, the boys left with true American pluck and most of them were looking forward to going over the top. And their folks bade them farewell in the same spirit — and then came back to the hostess house broken hearted at the parting, for a word of cheer and encouragement and the friendly cup of tea. But perhaps the happiest experiences of the hostesses has been the return of the Fortieth. Boy after boy would rush in as he had the opportunity, saying "Ah this is something like home," or "Home once more", or "How we have missed you and thought of you while we were away". The wounded boy has managed to get up there to be tucked on to the davenport for a little nap, the homesick boy longing to see his folks once more has been cheered and jollied. One boy. anxiously awaiting news of his sick mother, got her on the 'phone and all that the hostess could hear before she went away feeling that it was too intimate to overhear was "Oh Mother dear, mother dear, your voice sounds good to me Mother dear." The hostess house was established primarily for the women folk who should visit the camp, but every one in any way connected with it has learned to feel during the entire period, that it has been a rare privilege to meet these fine fellows, and to give them a little touch of home. 170 HISTORY OF THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION CAMP LIBRARY, CAMP KEARNY, CALIFORNIA The American Library Association Camp Library at Camp Kearny was organized and maintained by the American Library Association, one of the seven authorized welfare agencies of the War Department. The work of providing service to men with the colors was entrusted to a Library War Service Committee, of which Dr. Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress, was made director. State Librarian Milton J. Ferguson, of the California State Library, was made director for California. Library service to Camp Kearny was begun in July, 1917, by the joint action of Miss Althea Warren. Librarian of the San Diego Public Library, and Miss Katherine Post Ferris, Acting Librarian of the San Diego County Free Library. Books and maga- zines, supplied at first by gift in San Diego city and county and supplemented later by gifts from other Southern California cities, were placed in the temporary Y. M. C. A. tents and later in the various welfare buildings as erected. Erection of the Library Building This work was taken over on November 22. 1917. by the American Library Asso- ciation which assigned as first librarian Mr. Joseph H. Quire, of the California State Library, with instructions to proceed with the erection of a camp library building. Construction of the library was begun on December I. and the building was opened for use at 6:30 p.m. Christmas night. December 25. 1917. The opening was informal except for an illuminated Christmas tree in the center of the building and other Christmas decorations. During construction of the building, office and living quarters were provided by the Y. M. C. A. The building conformed in general to the standard plan for camp library buildings prepared by the American Library Association. It was 40 x 93 feet, and included two living rooms and shower room for the staff. An open air reading porch ten feet wide was added in the front of the building. The building with this addition was adapted by the American Library Association as a standard type, and a small model, labelled "Camp Kearny type" was exhibited at the 1918 convention of the American Library Association, and at the Allied War Exposition. Dedication of the Building The camp Library was dedicated on the morning of March 9. 1918. at a meeting of the sixth district of the California Library Association. Milton J. Ferguson. State Di- rector for The American Library Association formally presented the building to Major General Frederick S. Strong. General Strong, in accepting, voiced his appreciation of the work which the library was accomplishing in instructing the men in the history and aims of the war and expressed his gratitude to the American Library Association and the librarians of the south for the library building and the opportunities which were placed before the men. Music was supplied by the 143th Field Artillery Band. The meeting adjourned for mess in the hall of M Company, 160th Infantry, and then to witness the grand review of the Fortieth Division. Camp Hospital Library Because of the special need for library service at the camp hospital, a special hospital librarian was assigned to Camp Kearny on June I. 1918. to operate the American Library Association service to patients, nurses, and the hospital staff. Previous to this time, books were supplied to patients through branch libraries in welfare huts, to nurses through a branch in the nurses quarters, and to corps men by the post exchange branch library. Magazines were distributed by the A. L. A. truck each Sunday morning. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 171 By arrangement between the national headquarters of the American Library Asso- ciation and the American Red Cross, quarters were assigned for the camp hospital library and living quarters for the librarian in the Red Cross House, then in construction. These were occupied during October, 1918. Bedside service was supplied by daily visits of the librarian, who took special requests for books and magazines which were filled from her own shelves or from the central camp library. The hospital librarian rendered particularly appreciable service during the period of quarantine. Following the Armistice, and upon the establishment of the War Department's Reconstruction and Educational Service at the hospital, the American Library Association worked hand in hand with the hospital school, rendering service of inestimable value. All books used in this school of three hundred pupils and fifty in- structors were supplied by the A. L. A. A few of the subjects covered were Mathematics (all branches). English, French. Spanish, Electricity, Wireless, Auto mechanics, photog- raphy, mechanical drawing, woodwork, agriculture, bee-keeping, landscape gardening, tractor farming, chemistry, physics, and bead and basket work. Branch Libraries Branch libraries were placed in all welfare buildings as opened. Each library was in charge of a secretary of its building who, by arrangement with the A. L. A., had orders from his Headquarters as to his responsibility. The following branches were open on May I, 1919: Y. M. C. A. No. I, 1093 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 2, 1227 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 3, 1984 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 4, 685 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 5. 1286 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 6, 1421 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 7, 494 volumes; Y. M. C. A. No. 8 Y. M. C. A.

Purchased books were principally late technical and military publications forwarded directly by the publishers or from the New York dispatch office of the American Library Association. Gift books were chiefly books of fiction donated for war library use in "book drives" and forwarded through California Libraries. The total number of books in use on May 1, 1919, was 29,000 of which approximately 25 percent were non-fiction. Periodicals were supplied as follows: Magazines (paid subscriptions) 34; Magazines (gift of publishers) 7; newspapers (paid) 33; newspapers (gift) I ; newspapers (at hospital — paid) 19.. Newspapers supplied to the hospital are designed particularly for the use of overseas men and come from every section of the United States. Use of Books Up to May 1 , 1919, the circulation of books in Camp Kearny totaled 1 50,244. This total can give no adequate idea of the reading actually done. Hundreds of men read steadily every evening in the library and in welfare huts who never took books to their tents. Hundreds of books were read a dozen times by as many different men before they were returned to the library and counted as a single circulation. There are instances on record of books read by whole platoons before their return by the soldiers who borrowed them. Certainly, most of the books borrowed were read by every occupant of the tent of the borrower. It is safe to estimate that the books in Camp Kearny were read one million times up to May 1, 1919. Types of Books Circulated Every type of book in print has had its readers in Camp Kearny. The list would be endless. Of course. Western stories had the greatest number of readers. During the period of war, all techno-military books were in heavy demand. Textbooks, particu- larly in mathematics, history, and geography were avidly read. Since the Armistice, however, books on agriculture, auto mechanics, and shorthand, have led all other non- fiction. But there have been circulated books on tanning, on embalming, on civil service; on Siberia, on plumbing, on French poetry; on phrenology, on fortune-telling, on psychol- ogy. There is no subject that has gone unread. Train Libraries Troop trains leavmg camp were supplied with fifty selected books placed in the care of the welfare representative aboard. Before the departure of each train, a quantity of magazines were distributed through the cars. Small Libraries Outside Camp Kearny In cooperation with Miss Althea Warren, Librarian, San Diego Public Library and director of small camps in the Bay District, books were placed at Campo, Tecate, Dulzura, San Ysidro, Otay, Oneonta, Imperial Beach, North Island, and Camp Beacon. Fort Rosecrans was given a large collection and the care of a wireless and naval station branch. These camps provided for border patrols of cavalry, aviation fields, and naval stations. Visit of Dr. Putnam Dr. Herbert Putnam. Librarian of Congress and General Director of the Library War Service, visited Camp Kearny in May, 1918, on a tour of inspection. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 173 Personnel The regular staff of the library was supplied by librarians loaned on pay from estab- lished libraries or paid by the Library War Service. Valuable extra assistance was given by librarians who volunteered their services during vacation and other periods in return for expenses. Soldiers having library experience served in return for a nominal wage. Camp Librarians Joseph H. Quire. Legislative Reference Librarian. California State Library.

WITH THE FORTIETH AT CAMP KEARNY RECREATIONAL WORK The recreational work of the Knights of Columbus at Camp Kearny during the stay of the Fortieth Division was confined to two buildings, No. I at Centre and C, and No. 2 at Headquarters and B. Streets. The formal opening occurred Friday evening, November 23, 1917, when the Hon. Joseph Scott of Los Angeles spoke for the Knights, Chaplain Michael W. Donovan for the Army, and Father Keating for the Church. The largest and most pretentious structure in camp the No. 1 hall is considered the most attractive K. C. building erected in the cantonments. Credit for this is due the architect and builder, Mr. Wm. E. Hampton, and the Construction Committee, Messrs. Wm. Morrison, Frank Hope, and P. D. McMahon, of the San Diego Council of the KnightL. The first General Secretary was Mr. Ralph Bagley, who was drafted within a fort- night of his arrival. He it was who obtained a hearty response from the Y. M. C. A. officials who surrendered their option on the site of the present main building of the Knights. Mr. Bagley was followed by Mr. Benno Brink, to whom fell the duty of equipping the buildings and organizing the work of the Secretaries, a task that he accomplished with characteristic energy. He subsequently entered the Second Training School for Officers where he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and assigned to the 2 1 st I nf antry. His successor was Mr. Hari Rechsteiner. During this time the Associate Secretaries were Messrs. Philip O'Brien, Thomas McNally, Jack Barry, James Barrett. Michael Cushing, B. A. Byrne, Bernard Reight, Arthur Neal, James Burke and Clarence Bilicke, all of whom contributed their share in forming the buildings' reputation for genuine hospitality. Messrs. Barry and Neal were in charge of athletics. To Secretary Rechsteiner great credit is due for the design and construction of the open air concert shell in the rear of the No. 1 hall. It's accoustics are perfect. Mme. Schumann-Heink, Mme. Melba and Mischa Elman have been heard there to excellent advantage by the entire Division. He was also most successful in securing concerts within the auditorium by Maud Powell the violinist and Godowsky the pianist, as well as several performances by Ted Shawn and the Ruth St. Denis troupe of classic dancers. He introduced the popular "Liberty Minstrel Girls," organized by Mr. T. P. Getz of San Diego, a company that later played in every recreational building in the camp. He also brought to the main building Mr. Raymond Wells and "The Volunteer Players", an organization of professional talent that excelled in dramatic productions of the highest class. With pardonable pride the Knights treasure the tribute of Colonel Young's telegram to the chairman of a K. C. drive for funds in Salt Lake City, January 23, 1918: "Dear Bishop Glass: We are next door neighbours to the main building operated in this camp by the Knights of Columbus. This building is open to all officers and men irrespective of religious affiliation and contributes no less successfully to the comfort and entertainment of the camp than the building of the Young Men's Christian Association, which, as everybody knows, is high praise. In addition, soldiers of the Catholic faith are ministered to therein by priests of character and ability whom we have the pleasure of associating with as fellow members of our officers' mess. Richard W. Young, Colonel, 143th Field Artillery." 176 HISTORY OF THE RELIGIOUS WORK Father Martin C. Keating, the Catholic Post Chaplain, and Father Graham D. L. Reynolds, were the two Knights of Columbus Chaplains. They served under the direct supervision of Archbishop Hayes, the Chaplain Bishop of the Army and Navy. Father Keating was the pioneer chaplain of the camp, having conducted the first religious services at the Linda Vista camp Sunday. July 29, 1917. when he offered mass in the Y. M. C. A. tent for Major Brook's battalion. The words of Mr. George W. Marston, of San Diego, National Vice President of the "Y." to the priest that morning are typical of the spirit that characterized the religious workers of the camp. "Although the "Y" is here first. Father Keating. " said Mr. Marston. "we wish you to know that anything we have is yours." From then until November the "Y " was the only shelter available for Catholic services. "Not for a moment." says Father Keating, "did the cordial hospitality of the "Y" fail the priests." Upon completion of K. C. No. 1 the priests, who had been caring for the camp by automobile from Del Mar. moved in. Father Reynolds transferred later to K. C No. 2. He and Father Keating alternated each week in ministering to the sick at the Base Hospital. With the coming in March of the required number of Catholic commissioned chaplains, Father Reynolds was relieved and promoted to a professorship at the Catholic University. Washington. D. C. Each building contained a small but complete chapel, concealed by sliding doors at the rear of the stage, where all the Catholic chaplains officiated. The Los Angeles and San Diego Chapters of the Chaplains' Aid Association provided the beautiful furnish- ings as well as the religious articles which were distributed free. The Catholic religious life of the camp centered around the No. 1 building. In it s chapel of St. Martin of Tours fourteen marriages were performed, forty soldiers and Eloise Helaine. infant daughter of Major Thomas of the 143th Field Artillery, were baptised, and thousands received the sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist. Here Bishop Cantwell of Los Angeles administered Confirmation to thirty-four soldiers January 6. 1918. and again in April to twenty-seven soldiers and one Army Nurse. Here, too were held the most memorable Christmas services of any cantonment when in 1917 and again in 1918 Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, the world's greatest contralto, came from Chicago at her own expense in response to the invitation of Father Keating to sing in concert Christmas Eve and to be the soloist at the midnight mass which followed. Major-General and Mrs. Strong were present at the 1917 and Brigadier-General and Mrs. Davison at the 1918 services. The following verses express most beautifully the sentiments of the thousands whose lives were ch ered by the matchless art of this great lover of the American soldier and sailor. FORTIETH ("SUNSHINE") DIVISION 177 TO A GREAT SINGER Mme. Schumann-Heink, Christmas Eve, 1917 — 1918 Eager, we wait, a mighty throng, Wave upon wave, a living sea. . . Come with the magic of thy song Once more, once more, we welcome thee. We welcome thee, whose lightest note Is nursed in Music's deepest heart. What witcheries around thee float; How matchless is thy wondrous art. Was it some minstrel grand-sire bold That dashed with fire those notes so sweet. Or some Tone-maiden, famed of old. Who dropped her mantel at they feet? Beneath the light of Bethlehem's star. The world is listening for the voice Of angel heralds . . . from afar Proclaiming "All the earth rejoice. " And so we wait, a happy throng. Wave upon wave, a living sea. Come, with the glory of thy song, With all our hearts we welcome thee. Mary E. Mannix. 178 HISTORY OF THE Still another notable event in the religious work at K.C. No. 1 was the Mission Exercises, conducted by the Dominican Fathers Noon and Lewis, as the Catholic part in the combined efforts of Protestants and Catholics for a deeper religious life. The Memorandum of the Commanding General endorsing this movement follows: Headquarters 40th Division, Camp Kearny, Cal.. May 9, 1918. MEMORANDUM: Beginning Sunday, June 2, and ending the evening of June 6, there will be special services in the Y. M. C. A. and the K. of C. buildings in the interest of clean speech and Sunday observance. The Commanding General commends this work as conforming to the best traditions of our people. In this spirit did General Washington issue to the Colonial Army, August 3, 1776, the following general order: "The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in an American Army, is growing into fashion. He hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms if we insult it by impiety and folly. Added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it." Inspired by the same ideals President Wilson addressed to the men of the service, February 3. of this year, the following order relating to Sunday observance: "The President, commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, following the reverent example of his predecessors, desires and enjoins the orderly observance of the Sabbath by the officers and men in the military and naval service of the United States. The importance for man and beast of the prescribed weekly rest, the sacred rights of Christian soldiers and sailors, a becoming deference to the best sentiment of a Christian people, and a due regard for the Divine Will demand that Sunday labor in the Army and Navy be reduced to the measure of strict necessity. Such an observance of Sunday is dictated by the best traditions of our people and by the convictions of all who look to Divine Providence for guid- ance and protection, and, in repeation in this order the language of President Lincoln, the president is confident that he is speaking alike to the hearts and the conscience of those under his authority." Regimental commanders wi'l cooperate with the chaplain in making it possible for as many men as possible to attend these services. Such as desire will be permitted to leave their company street before reveille in order to attend early services. By Command of Major General Strong: L. O. MATHEWS. Major of Infantry, Division Adjutant. With those who knew the Fortieth, the 3100 members of the June Automatic Draft will ever be in honor. When the Department's orders made no provision for chaplains to accompany them. General Strong welcomed the offer of the "Y'' to send religious workers with each train and permitted Father Keating to ride such of the troop trains as he might choose, to the Port of Embarkation. He was able to ride five trains before the expedition reached Camp Merritt. The result was that 426 soldiers went to con- fession, two were baptised, mass was offered once, and 100 received communion. If it is true, in the words of Secretary of War Baker, that the war was won by an army that "won victories over the enemy because it first won victories over itself," let it be recorded to the credit of the great hearted leader of the Fortieth that he appre- ciated and inspired a perfect coordination between the religious workers of the various welfare agencies.
