DEDICATED TO OUR EMPLOYEES WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WORLD WAR I^l4~I^lS 'S^. /a '^/ ^ : ^''^^•-■^•r^f^''-A'J 6?^ -%^^'Tf-i^ ^*^' F01(EJrOTiT> I HAT we have been passing through one of ' the most momentous periods in the history of the human race is becoming more and more apparent as events shape themselves before our eyes, and yet the very nearness and magnitude of these events prevent our grasping to any adequate extent their significance in molding the world's future destinies; nor can we as yet for the same reasons fully appreciate the sacrifice and the service which have been so freely offered to mold these destinies for righteousness and for the happiness of mankind. In the lines of sacrifice and service the employees of the Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. have made not only an honorable but a distinguished record, and it is the purpose of this Memorial Booklet to perpetuate this record, not only as a present recognition and evidence of appreciation, but that it may be a permanent memorial handed down as an undying record, an inspiration and a guide to future genera- tions. Special recognition is given to those from our ranks who, on sea, land and in the air, stood ready to give their all in the cause of world liberty, and especially to those whose lives were sacrificed in the great cause, not forgetting, however, those who loyally served at home. On the following pages will be found an Honor Roll of those who entered the service, grouped by Departments; also a story of some of the events in which they participated, accompanied by personal experiences where such have been available. Besides distinction in military service, a record upon [7] FOREWORD which we can look with pride is the splendid showing made by our employees who served and sacrificed at. home, through conservation of food and resources, and through loyal service at their work, so that the Government might not lack funds, the people food, nor the Army munitions, to effectively prosecute the war. It is with special grati- fication that we realize that the high standard set in home service by the Brown & Sharpe employees was held up as a guide and inspiration to other industries throughout the country, thus serving further to swell the funds and prod- ucts needed in such great quantities to carry on the vast enterprises made necessary by the war and by recon- struction. A fit finale for this story of sacrifice and service was the spontaneous and joyous celebration of Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1918, when pent-up feelings, long restrained, burst the bounds of shop walls, and wild rejoicing was in evidence throughout our city, — a never-to-be-forgotten demonstra- tion, the like of which Providence and the nation had never seen before. We did not, at the time of victory and rejoicing, forget those whose hearts were sad with bereavements that had come to them through the vicissitudes of war — losses sym- bolized by the gold stars shining brightly on the service flags carried in that most impressive and touching of all spectacles, — the Mothers' Parade through the streets of Providence, the participation of these mothers in this parade showing that fortitude and courage, that readiness to serve in the line of duty, which had been handed down to those whose lives were sacrificed. In offering to those who mourn our heartfelt words of sympathy, we can add this solace, that, because the great cause for which their loved ones died has been victorious, the sacrifices have not been in vain; and because of that victory not only have the rights of our nation and of man- kind been protected against the aggressors, but the way has been opened leading to a standard of civilization higher than ever before attained, if only we stand firm to over- throw the insidious enemies within as those without have been overthrown. [81 /^ .MEMOT^I'^M F the nineteen Brown & Sharpe employees whose lives were sacrificed in the Great War, five were killed in battle, one in an aeroplane accident, and thirteen died of disease. Twelve lives were lost overseas, and seven on this side of the water. Fifteen were in the U. S. Army, three in the U. S. Navy, and one in the Canadian Army. SERGT. JOSHUA K. BROADHEAD, Milling Machine Mfg. Dept., was killed in action Apr. 20, 1918. He was awarded the "Distinguished Service Cross" for valor through a citation by General Pershing, and the Croix de Guerre by the French Government. This latter was ac- companied by a letter of transmittal to his father, saying: "Your son showed the highest type of courage and self-sacrifice in insisting upon directing his gun squad until the last." At the time of his death, Sergeant Broadhead was with a special decoy battery of the 103 rd Field Artillery, at Seicheprey, where, at the height of the heaviest firing, he was wounded by a shell splinter, and although urged to report for treatment continued at the gun until he was killed by the explosion of another shell. His heroic action in thus remaining at his post aided the Rhode Island Batteries to get the range of the enemies' guns and silence them. WILLIAM BUSTIN, Hardening Dept., entered the service of the Canadian Engineers, Aug. 12, 1918, and died of pneumonia at Montreal, Canada, October 3, of the same year. He was the fifth of a family of seven brothers to enter the war. A widow and three children survive him and have returned to England. CHARLES E. CANAN was employed at the Brown & Sharpe Chicago Office and Store before entering the service. He had made repeated efforts to enlist prior to his final acceptance on Aug. 13, 1918, as an Apprentice Seaman in the Naval Reserve Force, serving in Co. F, [9] IN MEMORIAM 4th Regiment. He died of pneumonia at the Great Lakes Naval Hospital, Sept. 25, 1918, at the age of eighteen, after a short illness. WILLIAM D. CARROLL, Stock Parts Dept., enlisted in the Army in the summer of 191 8. He was assigned to the Medical Dept. and was sent overseas, being stationed at Rochefort, France, where he died suddenly, of acute indigestion, on Jan. 22, 1919. 2nd LIEUT. ALBERT W. CROCKER, Cutter Dept. Office, went to France in the fall of 1918 in the Headquarters Co., 66th Coast Artillery, where he was serving as a Camouflage Expert. He died of disease on Nov. 19, 1918. ALONZO W. CROCKER, Grinding Machine Mfg. Dept., entered the U. S. Naval Reserve Force in December, 1916. He was sent to the Charlestown Navy Yard Apr. 2, 1917, and sailed abroad as seaman, serving for thirteen months on the U. S. S. Marietta. He died of disease on board ship, Oct. 17, 1918, and was buried at Pauillac, France. PATRICK W. CULLIGAN, Gear Dept., was mustered into service Sept. 30, 1918, and died of disease at Fort Slocum, N. Y., Oct. 11, 1918, after a little more than a week's service in the Army. A widow sur- vives him. LUIGI D'ANTUONO, Milling Machine Mfg. Dept., was killed in action Oct. 16, 1918, after having been in service about six months. As a member of Co. M, 310th Infantry, he was participating in an attack on enemy positions near St. Juvin in the Meuse-Argonne sector when he was struck in the head by a shell and instantly killed. ANTONIO D. De CARLO, Grinding Machine Mfg. Dept., Co. L, 310th Infantry, entered the service May 16, 1918, and was reported killed in action, at St. Mihiel Sector, at Thiacourt, on Sept. 16, 1918. JOSEPH A. HARDY, Small Tool Dept., entered the service Apr. 28, 1918, as Private in the 310th Infantry, 78th Division. He died of pneumonia in France Sept. 18, 191 8, after serving overseas for about four months. ARTHUR W. JOHNSON, Attachments Dept. serving as First-Class Machinist's Mate in the aviation section of the American Navy, died of pneumonia in Quebec, Canada, on Sept. 18, 1918, after about nine months' service. CHARLES KIERNAN, Screw Machine Mfg. Dept., Private in 3rd Field Artillery, enlisted June 2, 1918, and died of pneumonia Sept. 3, 1918, while in service in France. BEVERLEY S. LAKE, Advertising Dept., served throughout the war as Chief Mechanic of Battery A of the 103rd Field Artillery, and partici- pated in all the heavy and effective fighting of this Battery, except for a brief period shortly before the Armistice was signed, when he was [10] iti;s>.t^!«ai^(»-««iS«(«iWiim^tmmm 13' IN MEMORIAM attending a Motor School, training for the time when the Battery would be motorized. Following the Armistice he was looking forward with eagerness to the time when he with the rest of the 26th Division would start for home, when he was stricken with pneumonia, and after a short illness died on Mar. 12, 1919, and was buried in the American Section of the Cemetery at Le Mans, France. The Chaplain wrote the young man's mother: "He was buried with military honors. His body was conveyed from the Hospital on a Caisson drawn by two horses. On either side were French soldiers and in the rear American soldiers, with the pallbearers. The Band played appropriate music. The coffin was covered with the Stars and Stripes. After the body had been lowered into the grave a volley was fired and 'Taps' sounded. There was a large assemblage of people." ROBERT F. MacDONALD, Small Tool Dept., entered the Army Aug. 5, 191 8, in the 53rd Field Artillery, and died of pneumonia at Camp Travis, Texas, Feb. 6, 1919. JOHN C. McKEOWN, Forge Shop, serving as Corporal, Co. K, 327th Infantry, 82nd Division, was killed in action Oct. 10, 1918, in the heavy fighting in the Argonne, France. SERGT. LeROY W. MILLER, Time Keepers' Office, first enlisted in the Old First Company of the Coast Artillery Corps of the R. I. National Guard. Later, he was made Sergeant in Co. A, loist Engi- neers, 26th Division. He was the first Rhode Island soldier in the American Expeditionary Forces to be killed in action, and was posthumously awarded a Con- gressional medal for bravery, also the Croix de Guerre as "an excellent non-commissioned officer who demonstrated in the fighting sector his great devotion." He was killed in the course of a bombardment at Ostel, France, in the battle of Chemin des Dames, when he was sent forward with a raiding party to throw a bridge across a stream so that the Infantry might make a crossing. He was in service from Sept. 25, 1917, to the time of his death, Mar. ii, 1918. 2nd LIEUT. HARRY S. ORMSBEE, Time Keepers' Office, eritered the service Aug. 4, 1917, attending Cornell University as an Aviation student. He enlisted in the Signal Engineers Reserve Corps early in 1918, and was made 2nd Lieutenant August 7 of the same year. He was killed at Woodstock, Ontario, Aug. 22, 1919, while attempting to land, being on his way to take part in the Toronto-New York race. ARTHUR R. PETERSON, Milling Machine Mfg.

Co. who gave of themselves during the World War, this book is a memorial. It tells of patriotic endeavor in time of crisis, as well as of real achievement; what is most important, it tells of great sacrifice — the sacrifice of life itself, in behalf of a common country, the greatest pledge of devotion which men can offer. While the usual thought of war is of those who have fought and suffered, there should be, and there is, a great deal to relate of those who labored and worked at home, in order that the men at the front might be properly served. The great war has revealed the existence of much besides a deep spirit of patriotism; it has shown how patriotism may be made really effective by methods of co-operation. The sharing in Liberty Bond subscriptions, the cheerful spirit of Red Cross campaigns, the interest in the life of the fighting boys when off duty, and the partici- pation in garden movements to increase the food supply of the country, all of these things have not been performed at the behest of statute, but have been the result of a won- derful voluntary co-operation impelled by a spirit of devo- tion to their country on the part of patriotic folk. The record of the Brown & Sharpe people is one in which every one takes the greatest satisfaction, and in years to come we shall look back upon it not only with an increasing interest, but with a pride which now we can little appreciate. At least, we may be sure this book will tell a story that will not fade in memory as the years roll on. Henry D. Sharpe [161 'BRANCHES OF SETiFICE lU^WHICH 'BROWU\(^m SH^ARPE JWE-^Y IFE%E ENgAQET) ROM our force 911 entered active service, this being about one in every eight of our employees. Of these 645 served in the Army and 264 in the Navy, the branch of service of a few not being known. Of this number about 763 have (up to the end of the year 1919) returned to Brown & Sharpe, of whom more than 600 are now with us. While in the main the enlistment was in the U. S. Service, 45 served in the Canadian and British forces and 2 in other Allied Armies. 338 in the Army and 108 in the Navy are known to have served overseas, in the latter case largely in transport service. In spite of all our efforts it has not been possible to secure complete records of service, many of the men not having been heard from since leaving us and efforts to communi- cate with them having failed. As far as known, however, the rank and the branches of service are as follows and give some idea not only of the widely varied activities of our men, but also the varied needs of military service in modern warfare. Coming as our boys did from civilian life, and usually without previous military training, a large percentage of them entered the service at the foot of the ladder as privates, seamen, etc. Some qualified as officers from the begin- ning and promotions even during the short duration of America's part in the war were frequent among our men. 35 are reported as having been Commissioned Officers, [17] BRANCHES OF SERVICE the highest rank being Captain, in both the Army and Navy, 5 serving with this rank. There were 27 Lieutenants and 3 Ensigns, 157 Non-Commissioned Officers, Sergeants and Corporals in the Army, Machinists' and Gunners' Mates and other petty officers in the Navy; and 294 were rated men. In the various branches of the Army, aside from the Infantry, which naturally had the largest number, 82 were reported as being in the Coast Artillery, 75 Field and Rail- road Artillery, 5 Cavalry, 58 Air Service, 34 Ordnance Dept., 23 Quartermasters' Dept., 5 Signal Corps and 30 Hospital and Medical Depts. In the Navy, 140 were reported in the Naval Reserves, 28 Air Service, 4 Marines, besides miscellaneous. Among the "rated men" in all branches of service more than one hundred served as mechanics, molders, pattern makers and in other trades allied with our business, these being largely in the Navy and the Artillery branch of the Army. Twelve were musicians and buglers, 28 cooks and mess attendants, 33 hospital and medical attendants, 8 sappers (British Service), besides aviators, balloon pilots, photog- raphers, dispatch riders, signalers, radio operators, chauf- feurs, wagoners, storekeepers, firemen, etc., and others were in service connected with tanks, forestry, railroads, poison gas, etc. At least two of our men served in the 42nd ("Rainbow") Division and one served in Paris after the Armistice in connection with the work of the Peace Commission. Generally speaking, in whatever capacity our country has called our men, whether to serve at home or abroad, whether in auxiliary service or on the firing line, they have responded loyally and faithfully. All credit and honor are due them for that service. While opportunities varied, response to the call of duty was within the reach of all. Names are entered on the Honor Roll under the Depart- ment from which the men went. Stars appear on the Honor Roll at the left of the names of those who lost their lives in service, and the chevron marks at the right of the name of each man who was reported to have served six months or more indicate the number of six months' periods of service.

You left the sunny soil of France For Freedom's fight across the sea; Courts, and the music of the dance, At the clear call of Liberty. With sword unsheathed, into the fray You plunged, to sound of fife and drum; Now it is ours that debt to pay; So, La Fayette, we come! They said, we only cared for gold ; A coward race, we would not fight. Forgetting how, in days of old. Our fathers battled for the right. French women tortured, children slain; Pillaged by Europe's vilest scum. Your country has not called in vain; So, La Fayette, we come! To us, amid the whirring wheels At Brown & Sharpe's, the summons came; Each one the thrill of manhood feels And answers proudly to his name. And though some go, while others stay 'Mid belts' and pulleys' ceaseless hum. Each serves in his appointed way; So, La Fayette, we come! For Freedom's holy cause we fight, With starry banner lifted high. Each marches like some youthful knight, Resolved to conquer or to die. For that high cause we'll fight until Our eyes are blind, our lips are dumb; E'en though we perish yonder, — still, O La Fayette, we come! — V.E.Atwell. [61] T>ISTINgUISHED SE%FICE HE modesty of those rendering conspicu- ous service has made it difficult to secure information so as to give full credit; but some personal citations which have come to our attention are as follows: The U. S. Congressional Medal for Brav- ery was awarded to Sergts. Joshua K. Broadhead and LeRoy W. Miller (see pages 11 and 14), also Sergt. Benjamin P. Rosmond, who was deco- rated for bravery In aiding wounded on battlefield. The Croix de Guerre was awarded by the French Govern- ment to Sergts. Joshua K. Broadhead and LeRoy W. Miller; also to Lieut. Charles S. Leonard for gallantry In taking over three submarine chasers. The following were cited for bravery or good work: Paul A. Wilcox, by Secretary Daniels, for having risked his life In an experiment with a new control device on Naval Airplanes; Sergt. John J. Greer, Air Service, Army, flew 17,500 ft. in the air and was engaged in almost all drives. Received citation for good work, being promoted to Sergt. 1st class on the battlefield; Lieut. LeRoy C. Flint, commended for bravery by Commanding Officer for service In connec- tion with fire at Seaplane Hangar; Frank H. Flagg, com- mended by Secretary Daniels for service in extinguishing a fire on shipboard; Carl E. Vennberg, reported by Captain for bravery In rescuing a French girl from drowning; George Milligan, Jr., of Battery C, 26th Division, received citation for bravery from General Pershing; William F. Charboneau received a citation signed by General Pershing for volun- tarily contracting a fever for experimental purposes. James B. Mason, a Brown & Sharpe apprentice, re- [621 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE ceived a citation from Secretary Daniels for gallant conduct in rescue work when the ship on which .he was a passenger was sunk by torpedoes in the Irish Sea. He voluntarily aided in the launching of two boats and sought his own safety without a life preserver as the ship sank, swimming until he found a raft not so crowded, and to which a Captain of the U. S. Navy, with both legs broken, was clinging. After assisting the latter, and being picked up by an English motor launch, he aided the crew in rescuing survivors until he himself became exhausted. Nearly five hundred men, women and children lost their lives in this disaster. Albert J. Dunbar received a citation from Secretary Daniels for giving some of his blood in a transfusion opera- tion to save the life of a comrade. Leslie W. Buzzell received a citation for bravery in the battle of Chateau Thierry where he was severely wounded. Disabling Casualties. There was one case of an em- ployee being blinded in battle, that of Jesse A. Whaley, who went from our Sewing Machine Dept. He was serving in Co. K of the 310th Infantry. A hand grenade burst in his face when engaged in hand-to-hand fighting in one of the last battles of the war. A letter written by him from the Baltimore Hospital where he is now in training tells of his experiences, and be- cause they are typical of what many of our boys went through up to the point of his being wounded, and be- cause his letter shows such a courageous spirit in facing his misfortune, it is given somewhat fully. He says: • "I was drafted Apr. 27, 1918, and left the following day for Camp Dix, N. J. I stayed at this Camp long enough to be vaccinated, inocu- lated and equipped for overseas duty; sailed from Philadelphia for Halifax and meeting a convoy of sixteen ships, started for England. On reaching there we were taken to Folkstone and shipped across the Channel to Calais the next morning. There we were equipped with English rifles and gas masks. We left this camp four days later and journeyed by train to the northern part of France, where we backed up the British until the end of June and through part of July, when we were moved to the Arras front. "We stayed there until the middle of August, when we moved over to the St. Mihiel front, where we took up our position outside the town of Thiacourt. Saturday night at midnight, on September 22, the 3rd Battalion of the 310th Regiment went over the top for a forty minute engagement, and over one-third of the men were lost. This was where 163] DISTINGUISHED SERVICE I met with my injury. I was taken to Central France, and later sent to a Base Hospital, where I was detained for nearly two months, and on December 20 sailed for America. "We landed at Newport News on New Year's Day, and were taken to Hampton, where we lived in the Old Soldiers' Home until January 11. We were then taken to General Hospital No. 7, Guilford, Baltimore, Md. This Hospital took charge of all the eye cases that were sent from overseas. It was later turned over to the American Red Cross, which is now re-educating the soldiers. I am taking the following studies: typewriting, English, literature, music, woodwork, Braille, and a short course in manual training. I am studying to be a masseur, and my training will end June 25, 1920. "I hope that I shall be able to render as good service to the world in the years to come, without my sight, as I did before the war." Another letter was received from one of our boys in a hospital in Canada. Dominion Orthopedic Hospital, Toronto, Can. "I was blown up by a shell in the battle of Cambrai and lost my right leg. I have seen a lot and have suffered terribly. "I lay from 5 p.m. Oct. 21, 191 8, until 9 a.m. next day on the field of battle before I was picked up by the stretcher bearers. The battle was raging and shells were thick. I have been under the knife on the operating table six times and have had five reamputations. But I am feeling fine now and am getting stronger each day. I have my arti- ficial leg and can walk quite well. "I expect to be discharged on the 5 th of February so it will be two years' service." Another of our men also lost a leg in the Canadian service. The total number of our Service Men reported as wounded in action, additional to those who lost their lives, was twenty- five, and gassed, fifteen. Without doubt these totals are far from complete. [64] INTE1{ESriNg ^NT> UU^USUJL EXTET^IENCES T{EPOT{TET> "BY THE "BOYS i]NE of our apprentices, in the Air Service, was located at Key West, and did mechani- cal work in connection with aeroplanes, also considerable flying, in some cases acting as pilot. On one occasion it was necessary to transport an officer with mes- sages and three aeroplanes started in order to make sure of reaching the destination. The flight was by night. Before they had gone far a flare signal was seen which made it necessary for the others to go to the help of the one in distress; and after a further flight one of the two remaining planes gave out, so that the one on which our apprentice was flying was the only one remaining in service. A pipe on this failed and tem- porary methods of repair not being available he held the broken parts with his hand until the flight was completed. Several of our men were in battle with submarines on the way over, and in the Mediterranean, resulting in sinking or capturing same. One, serving with the British Army, assisted in the cap- ture of some of the largest field guns used by the enemy. A work assisted in by a number of our employees was the laying of 70,000 mines in the North Sea, from Norway to Scotland, and later in removing same, in which latter service several were still engaged when last heard from. At the time of the influenza epidemic one of our boys reports that on one of the trips he made 106 died and were buried at sea. Another wrote that seven hundred Canadian soldiers, ship- [651 EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT wrecked at Blackrock, Nova Scotia, were saved by the Revenue boat on which he served. One boy reports making eighteen trips across to Scotland, England, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France and Italy. Another that he was on the vessel that accidentally sunk H. M. S. Lochgrove in a heavy fog. A number served in Germany with the Army of Occu- pation. One member of the Flying Corps was 152 hours in the air besides 52 hours on Aerial Submarine Patrol, and had a record for height of 17,500 ft. One served in the Panama Canal Zone, another in the Pacific and later in Siberia. A special line of service was "Instructor in the use of an optical instrument used for fire control," while others served as flying instructors. Many were held in this country on mechanical work and some of these rendered distinguished service as officers in charge of important and extensive manufacturing opera- tions. Only one of our Service Men has been reported as having been taken prisoner, William H. Sefton, who served in the 103rd Field Artillery, and was captured at Seicheprey on Apr. 21, 1918, with Sergeant Tucker and others. One was serving in the crew of the U. S. S.

"There was a very thrilling air fight between a French and German aeroplane. At a height of about 10,000 ft. the Frenchman attacked the German and the French anti-aircraft guns opened fire on the Boche as did the French aviator with his machine guns. The scrap became too hot for the Boche and all of a sudden he started to fall, end over end and sideways, for about 8,000 ft., and we all thought they had 'got' him; but when he was within about 2,000 ft. of the ground he righted the machine, which he evidently had under [66] EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT perfect control all the time, and glided off toward the German lines with perfect ease. All this time the Frenchman was swooping down with him in terribly steep spirals, and when the Boche righted himself, the Frenchman opened up again with his machine gun and gave him a fine chase, but the Boche escaped. It was the most spectacular thing I ever hope to see." Apr. 14, 1918. "We have now taken up a position on the firing line and believe me we know now that there is a war going on. You are right; war is all the Hell you imagine it must be. To say that we have received our baptism of fire would be to put it mildly — we have been ducked in it and a few of our men have been asked to pay the price; but, thank God, only a very few thus far. We* no longer have any boys amongstus — we all aremen here for a purpose and we know it and are set to do our best." Apr. 22, 1918. "We had an exciting time the night we came up here. They shelled us all the way up. I can tell you it gives a creepy feeling to hear those shells coming through the air at you and you hold your breath hoping that they will go over your head; but they came as close to us as I care to have them that night and I was mighty glad when I got my head under cover. Well, in spite of the fact that they shell us, we give them as good as they send. "The ground is all plowed up by shells and one could plant a garden if he dared to linger outside the dugout. "The boys have put in a lot of hard work and they are going night and day, in fact most of the fighting is done at night and that means we have to get ready for it in the daytime and some of the boys are pretty much all in. You see there is a lot of digging to be done and the mud is the worst thing imaginable to handle. It is just like chewing gum. "We have been up night and day lately moving guns, lugging ammu- nition and repairing damage done by shellfire, and I can tell you every man is busy all the time he is not sleeping, and the strain is telling on some of them; but we sure do get good food, that is as far as Army food goes. Of course there is nothing fancy about it but we get the best the Government has up here at the front and the boys sure do deserve it. "We were under heavy shellfire from the German guns for 5 hours and one shell made a hit on the dugout in which I was and bent ii steel railroad rails double and carried a log about 5 ft. long and 2 ft. in diameter which was on top of the dugout out into the lot about 30 ft. To make matters worse, it blew the gasproof doors off our dug- out and in came the gas. One breath was enough and i't didn't take us long to get into our masks in which we stayed for 4 hours. "I can tell you we put in one awful night. They shelled us without a letup for 10 hours and the ground around here is just one mass of holes and they made at least one hit on every one of our dugouts and it was only by good fortune that we all came out alive. 167] EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT "Well, we came over here to fight and we are getting what we came for and plenty of it. The people back home can't realize what we are up against; but we are bound to see it through never mind what happens. "Things which the boys thought they would never get used to are of minor importance now and a rat sitting on your stomach in the night does not bother you much," May 19, 1918. "It seems very peculiar to see the explosion of the shells before you hear the bang of the gun that fired it or the roar of the shell in transit. I have been watching some very large shells burst at a distance of maybe two miles from me in a battery position and as you watch you see a big cloud of smoke and dust and other debris go soaring into the air and then comes a far distant boom of a gun on the German side followed by the ever increasing roar and whistle of the shell on its way and finally, after the smoke has greatly thinned out, the terrific bang of the ex- plosion." Aug. 10, 1918. "We were in the big drive (Chateau Thierry) and it certainly was all war all the way through, and we did a lot of hard fighting. In a good many cases we were on the go night and day. "We passed through village after village where only a few hours before our Infantry had driven the Huns out and everywhere one could see the signs of severe fighting and we certainly saw what real war was like and saw many dead, both German and our own men, and all kinds of equipment, both German and American, were scattered around every- where. "It is a sad sight to see some of the French villages which we have been through. The houses are nothing but wrecks from shell fire and pillage, but it is a whole lot of satisfaction to know that we helped drive the Huns out. "The drive which we were in was certainly a big setback to the Huns, for everywhere we could see indications that their plans were to go straight through to Paris and they were well on their way when they were stopped and shoved back. We took unlimited supplies of am- munition, of all sizes, and everywhere there were indications that they left in a hurry and that they had not expected any drive in that direc- tion. In some places in our advance the German aeroplanes flew so low over our heads that the iron crosses on their wings could easily be seen, and they dropped bombs and turned their machine guns on us, but we all got rifles or almost anything that would shoot and gave them as warm a reception as they sent." Nov. 10, 1919. "It was at Verdun that we suffered heavily and buried six of our boys. At Gloria, just outside of Verdun, is a little piece of Rhode Island, for three more of our boys were buried there. That was a sad [68] EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT night, and a terrible one, for the Boche got two direct hits on our first piece. That was a night when I really never expected to see daylight again. It's impossible to forget. Verdun — it's all that has been said of it,— just barren hills, torn with shellfire and red with blood." Lamsdorf Prison, Germany, July 24, 1918. "One day we heard that the Red Cross had sent us some packages. After some arguments with the Officer of the Prison Guard we got the packages and I'll say they were life-savers. Later our Red Cross packages came regularly and the Y. M. C. A. supplied us with athletic material and books. It also brought enough instruments for a band and we soon had music that would wake the dead." May I, 1918. "I called at the big Y. M. C. A. and imagine my surprise to find real American girls waiting on the canteen counter and when one of them asked me, 'Would you like a fried egg sandwich.'" I nearly did a double back fly. I had the sandwich. One girl, very good as a pianist, was occupied playing the piano while a crowd of soldiers stood around singing all the popular songs from home. "They had a canteen, lunch room, lounging room, music room, writing room, billiard room, and accommodations for staying over night. "The Salvation Army is doing good work. They make doughnuts and pies for the soldiers, but as our town had been bombarded constantly of late, they had to haul stakes and go to a safer place, so our doughnuts and pies are no more. One day a shell went through the roof of the building they were occupying and totally destroyed a large batch of said pastry; fortunately no one was badly hurt, but we felt the loss keenly. "I want to put in a good word for the Y. M. C. A. workers here. Almost anywhere you can find some and I'll take off my hat to them. . . . You can all rest assured that the money donated in America for the Y. M. C. A. is doing its work. "We had some good fun sporting the rounds of the village, which consists in visiting the 'Y. M.' and the Salvation Army tent. At the tent we usually were able to buy pie or doughnuts and coffee and oranges. At the 'Y. M.' there was a piano and sometimes there was an entertainment for the boys." " I am writing here in the K. of C. hut where everything possible is done for our comfort. This is the nearest approach to home I have found in France. The boys are well satisfied and are not backward in saying so when dispersed to their various ships and camps." [69] EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT Oct. 7, 1917. THOUGHTS OF MOTHER AND HOME. " I am glad I am going. It is what I want to do myself and I know you want me to do it. You wouldn't have a slacker for a son and I couldn't be one." May 12, 1918. "To-day is Mother's Day. God knows it, too, for out of the weeks of rain he gave us a beautiful day. The trees are wonderfully green, and all through the grass little spring flowers are budding forth. The air is full of spring. As you Mothers think of your boys, we boys think of our Mothers. In those golden years of yours we will be better trained than ever to guard you and to make you happy, as you once did for us." June 10, 1918. "I am writing this lying out in back of the gunpit under some little birches with flowers and mosquitoes and everything around, just like at home. Occasionally a sniping gun booms, and high up and floating lazily is an observation balloon, while once in a while an aeroplane sails overhead. . . . The gas mask and steel helmet by my side are the only indications of anything warlike here under the little birches." Nov. 5, 1918. "When your letter came I was sitting on the edge of my bunk, away down deep in a big damp dugout. It was dark with only a little candle to make the shadows deeper and the gloom more dense. I was tired, sick and sad, covered with mud from head to foot, and feeling low. A few hours before we had been up to our advanced position — a danger- ous but important one. That night with its horrors, with its wonderful examples of heroism displayed by some of the boys, will never be for- gotten. I was thinking of some of my comrades still there, never to return. So you can imagine how I felt; but your letter was a Godsend and somehow I felt a lot better after reading it." ANECDOTES. "Each day finds us in our various schools, mine, of course, being the repair shops. At present I am a sort of repair or garage man. What a wild bunch of Americans acting as chauffeurs can't do to a truck isn't worth the mentioning, so you can picture the repair shop as one busy place. I landed a dirty job and if I did half as much work as the appearance of my overalls gives me credit for, I'd be a whirlwind. The job has some good features because Buddie and I always insist on testing our work in the form of a little ride around, — joy-riding in a five-ton truck with solid tires!" "One mother wrote her son wanting to know if he was going to church regularly. If she could see what is left of the churches around here, she would realize that church was no safe place to go." [701 EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT "I was just looking out of the window and saw the funniest use of a gas mask I have seen yet. Two chaps are beating the dust out of their blankets and are working away with their masks on, as if they were made for that purpose. Yankee soldiers are always up to some stunt." "I was riding the other day on a French horse. They may be good for a Frenchman, but an American needs a rudder put on them to make them go where he wants them to." "We are just finishing a new 'abri,' or shelter, just off the gunpit. It has now reached that stage of completion that it is partially habitable, so I have my quarters there in order to be near the gun in case of a barrage call. To-day spent part of my time making a wall desk and chair, the latter being a work of art, burlap sandbags being 'preferred' for upholstery instead of leather. The 'indirect system of lighting' is used, consisting of a candle, cleverly placed in a tin breadbox so as to get light without any shining outside. 'Running water' close at hand — in fact sometimes too close and we have to pump it out." "When I come back, if room should be scarce, don't worry, because if there is any 'ground' in the back yard I can build the slickest little dugout you ever saw. That is one of the new trades I am learning." IN REST CAMP. "It certainly seems strange to be away from the noise of the guns for a while and it is hard to get out of the habit of looking for a gas mask every time you hear an automobile horn or sitting up in bed every time a horse makes a noise like a shell. I can tell you that if I ever come out of this war alive, there are certain noises that I will never forget." AFTER THE ARMISTICE. "We were relieved from the front two days after the Armistice was signed, and then began one of our famous hikes through France. We walked for about four days doing about 35 kilometers (22 miles) a day, staying in old French barns in small villages nights when we finally reached a small town where we stayed for three days. Here we took all our guns and equipment to a rail head and also turned over all our horses and harness. Then we left that town and started off on foot, carrying all our personal equipment on our backs, doughboy fashion. It rained most of the time. Then all we did was to hang around cold, wet barns and hunt for rumors of going home. "They came around one morning and informed several of us that we were on the next list to go on furlough. We did not care much whether we went or not at the time as now that the fighting was over we were all anxious to get started for home, but we preferred 'most anything to hanging around and doing foot drill, so we packed up our things and reported at ten o'clock the next morning and were marched to the 1711 EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM THE FRONT railroad station. Here we waited for our train until five-thirty that afternoon, and when it finally did come much to our disappointment it consisted entirely of those 'famous' cars that they ship horses in over here. We piled in, about fifteen of us in one car, and as it was getting late and we had no straw in the car the first stop we made we managed to find a bale and that helped some. "Needless to say we did not pass a very comfortable night and the next morning we were not in very good spirits; but as the morning wore away we brightened up as we were passing through the most beautiful part of France and the scenery certainly was wonderful. "We landed at Aix-les-Bains and were each handed a ticket with the name of a hotel on it and then we were taken to the hotel and here our spirits sure did rise. Three other boys and myself were given a fine big room with two big beds in it in a good hotel. I can tell you it was almost too much for us. Just imagine, after ten months of sleeping on the ground, in dugouts and in old barns, to be shown a real bed with sheets on it. We looked at one another and I can tell you it was not long before our spirits had risen about lOO per cent and we set out to make the best of our surroundings. After we washed up we felt some better and we started out to look the town over. The big thing here is the Y. M. C. A., and they certainly have a wonderful place and do about everything for the boys. I never realized before what they did with all their money, but my opinion has changed and they certainly show the boys a good time." [72] T least 60 of our employees served in the 26th "Yankee" Division, which was orig- inally made up entirely of New England Volunteer troops. The record of this Division is thus of special interest, not only to Rhode Islanders, but also to Brown & Sharpe employees, and this local interest is further enhanced by the distinguished record of service which It rendered. Owing to efficient organization these were the first Na- tional Guard troops to be sent abroad, sailing in September, 1917, and were In active service on Feb. 5, 1918, shots from their 75' s being the first fired by the National Guard in the war. On the battle line north of Toul the Division took over a sector of twelve miles early in April, 1918 — the longest that had been held by an American Division. Of its record there the French General said: "Under the distinguished command of their Chief, Gen- eral Edwards, the high-spirited soldiers of the 'Yankee' Division have taught the enemy some bitter lessons. They have taught him to realize the stanch vigor of the sons of the Great Republic, fighting for the world's freedom." While the famous Second Division, including the 5th and 6th Marines, immortalized Itself by checking the Huns in the Chateau Thierry drive at Belleau Wood (since named by the French, "The Wood of the Marine Brigade"), it remained for the "Yankee" Division, which relieved the Second on July 9, 1918, to drive back the enemy. It was in this drive that Epides and Trugny Wood became hard-won prizes after some of the bitterest fighting the 26th Division ever knew. [73] THE 26TH •'YANKEE" DIVISION General Edwards highly commended the Division in General Orders for its accomplishments in this drive, and from the famous French General Degoutte of the Sixth Army came the thrilling words: "The 26th Division alone is responsible for the whole Allied advance on the Marne. They are *shock troops' -par excellence." St. Mihiel, in September, 1918, added another to the long list of victories in which the 26th participated. In this action the Division captured 2,568 prisoners, besides much war material. Following St. Mihiel they were in the thick of the fighting north of Verdun, until the signing of the Armistice. General Bamford, who was then in command, said, "From your entry into the battle line in February, 1918, as a Divi- sion of recruits, until the cessation of hostilities, when you laid down your arms fighting in the front line as a veteran Division, you have shown yourselves worthy sons of the country that gave you birth." This Division saw more continuous fighting than any other, not excepting the United States Regulars or Allied troops. Before sailing for home, the entire Division was reviewed by General Pershing and staff, at Pontvallain and one of the boys wrote: "It was a wonderful spectacle. About 27,000 men, all with helmets on, and fixed bayonets, passed in review. The Infantry staged a bayonet charge over a hill, and that was a wonderful sight. A Regiment of Infantry charged at a time, one after another, about 2,400 men to a Regiment, and the bayonets flashing and the men advancing in a dashing line, reminded me of a driving rain, when the rain is coming down, in sheets, slantwise." On the return to America in March, 1919, the pride felt by New England in this Division was fully shown at the great demonstration held in Boston, when tens of thousands waited long in line to welcome home this vet- eran Division, led by Gen. Clarence O. Edwards. Para- phrasing the words of ^Tigaro" to Pershing, "New England acclaimed them with the enthusiasm of her great mo- ments." 103rd FIELD ARTILLERY. This Regiment, with sev- eral other units of the 26th Division, was most intimately identified with the city of Providence, and therefore with our [741 THE 26TH "YANKEE" DIVISION own employees, as at least thirty of our men served in the Rhode Island Batteries which were included in it. It was a Regiment of heavy field artillery equipped with 155 mm. (6 inch) French howitzers. The 103rd Field Artillery was not only engaged in all the fighting of the 26th Division, but in the drive north of Chateau Thierry, in the eventful month of July, 1918, was retained in action after the Infantry of the Division had reached its limit of endurance and had been withdrawn. The place of the Infantry was filled by another Division, but the 103rd Field Artillery remained in action for another eleven da5^s, first as auxiliary Artillery for the 42nd, whose Infantry went through it and took the line. Successively this Regiment -of Artillery supported three different Divisions after its own, before it was withdrawn, exhausted, on August 5. One of the boys wrote home, following this drive: "I would not have believed we could have endured it, but it was the knowledge that we were driving the Huns before us which kept us going." In addition to those who directly left our employ to go into the service in the Rhode Island Batteries, might be mentioned former employees of this Company, Norman D. MacLeod, who for heroism and efficient service on the field of battle was promoted to the rank of Major, and his brother, Colin Gordon MacLeod, who through successive promotions became Captain of Battery A. [75] j^BERTY j(^a:7^camtaig:n^ OANING money to the United States Government was an entirely new proposi- tion to Brown & Sharpe workmen, but when the call came in June, 1917, the response was generous, and the steady increase in the amounts subscribed to suc- cessive Loans as they followed quickly, one upon another, showed that the liberal re- sponse made to the first appeal was not a "spurt" only, but an evidence of a deep-seated purpose to "see it through" and an intention to sacrifice to whatever extent the needs of the Government required. The statement was made by the Head Chaplain of the First Division, Rev. H. R. Talbot, that the fact that the Loans and Drives were taken care of as well as they were, at home, was a tremendous factor in the maintenance of the morale of the men at the front. The first canvass showed subscriptions amounting to $118,600.00, in and out of the shop, made by 29 per cent of the working force. As soon as these had been paid for at $3.00 per week, for each $50.00 Bond, the Second Loan was launched. This was in October, 1917, and to stimulate interest banners were offered as prizes for large and small departments, these being won by the Milling Machine Dept. and the Pipe Shop; $262,050.00 was raised by subscriptions from 69 per cent of our employees. In April, 1918, the Third Liberty Loan was floated, and a goal of $300,000.00 was set for which to work. While this amount seemed to many beyond our reach, a strenuous campaign, using the Old Shop Bell as a talis- [76] LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGNS man to be dedicated and rung as a Liberty Bell when we went "over the top," resulted in subscriptions amounting to $322,150.00, over 75 per cent of the working force having a share in the victory. The winners of the prize banners in this contest were the Hardening Dept. and the Electricians. Six departments had 100 per cent of their members subscribing. Noontime meetings were held to arouse interest, and the Foundry "put it over" the rest of the shop by securing the Harry Lauder Band for an enthusiastic demonstration at one of these meetings. The banners for the winpers and certificates for de- partments reaching 100 per cent were awarded by Henry D. Sharpe, Treasurer of the Company, at a great noontime rally. Fourth Liberty Loan. "One Hundred Thousand for the First, Two Hundred Thousand for the second, Three Hun- dred Thousand for the Third, — Can We Make It Four Hundred Thousand for the Fourth .?" was the challenge which appeared on all the bulletin boards in October, 1918 — a challenge which the shop met in a whirlwind campaign to "Knock the Kaiser off the Earth," the Kaiser being repre- sented as standing shakily on the earth, with Uncle Sam coming down the line with the "big stick," — "Fourth Liberty Loan." This was in the form of a great structure erected on the front of the No. 1 Building, 150 ft. long with figures 15 ft. high. As a result of this campaign long before its close we had $440,350.00 subscribed, and many ready to go after "Red Feathers" to indicate a second subscription if their enthusiasm had not been restrained. To help this cam- paign an employee sold a diamond ring for $500.00 and invested the amount in Bonds. The prize banners in this contest were won by the Small Tool Dept. and the Pipe Shop, Honorable Mention, with an accompanying banner, being accorded the Messenger Dept. because of the exceptional sacrifice their subscriptions indicated. This loan was shared in by 88 per cent of our employees, and when the Four Hundred Thousand goal was passed, as announced at one of the noontime meetings, the enthu- siasm expressed itself in an impromptu parade with the [77] LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGNS "Kaiser" as its objective, and Uncle Sam was aided, not only in knocking the Kaiser off the earth, but in tearing him to small bits, to be carried off as souvenirs. One of the boys wrote home from France in September regarding this Loan: "Nobody over here worries about it for we all know that it will be well attended to by the folks back home," and it was. Fifth ''^Victory^^ Liberty Loan. After the exceptional efforts and sacrifices on the part of employees not only in making subscriptions to Liberty Loans but in giving finan- cial help to all the War activities, the Fifth "Victory" Loan, coming as it did after the signing of the Armistice, was approached with misgivings and a serious question as to whether an adequate response would be made; but again the most optimistic predictions were surpassed and $376,200.00 was subscribed. Again the Hardening Dept. was victor among the large departments; the Pipe Shop won among the small. Each was awarded an electrically illuminated trophy with the laurel wreath of victory as the chief motif. The subscriptions by employees to these five Loans netted a total of $1,400,750.00 for the use of the Government, as follows : LIBERTY LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS BY EMPLOYEES OF BROWN & SHARPE Total Total Per Cent Average per Amount Subscribers Subscribers Subscribers First Loan $118,600 1849 29 $64.00 Second " 262,050 4542 69 57-91 Third " 322,150 5510 77 58.47 Fourth " 440,350 6127 88 72-57 Fifth " 376,200 4899 80 61.50 These Bonds now bring in to the holders an annual re- turn in interest of $65,760.00. 78] wATi^sAvrngs sociEriES T the beginning of the year 1918, when the plan for loaning money to the Govern- ment by means of Thrift and War Savings Stamps was launched, the Brown & Sharpe Company at once co-operated by arranging plans to facilitate the selling of stamps to' their employees. This resulted in the pur- chase of several hundred dollars' worth of stamps each week during the early months of the year. It was not, however, until War Savings Societies were organ- ized in June, and active competition encouraged between clubs and departments, that the sales of stamps jumped to a point where our factory was classed among the leaders in the industries of the entire nation in this form of saving. The 246 societies divided into 35 groups entered during the remainder of the year 1918 into strenuous competition for the weekly honor of holding the triangular pennants which the Company had offered, and the contest between departments for the silver cup, also offered by the Company, proved an additional stimulus to increased purchase of stamps. The average weekly purchase of stamps for the remainder of the year was nearly $5,000.00, or more than ten times what it had been before the societies were organized. The cup was won by the Hardening Dept. and to celebrate this, as well as other victories and to welcome home its service men, it gave a dinner at Elks' Hall. Banners were offered by the State committee each month for the clubs securing the highest per capita subscriptions throughout the State and these came in increasing numbers to the Brown & Sharpe clubs, so that by the end of the [79] WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES year 1919 one hundred and twenty-seven of these banners had been awarded to our clubs. The total amount saved by our employees by this method up to the end of the year 1918 was $146,793.20. 1919. Many feeling that the war was over and that there was no further object in saving, dropped the purchase of W. S. S. at the end of the year 1918. A new campaign and the offering of a new prize in the form of a "golden eagle" as well as shields for the group competition in de- partments started the interest afresh and the total for the year 1919, even without the stimulus of the war, was greater than for the previous year, being $164,951.09. The interest of the W. S. S. so far purchased by our employees amounts to about $15,000.00 and this added to the interest on Liberty Bonds makes a grand total of $80,760.00 annual returns in interest from these investments. [80] THE ^MET{ICA3^%ET> CT{OSS 'l.l.'.'il',l,MV.Vi',MM I <<,'ir.,'P VEN before America entered the war, the appea] of the Red Cross came to the American people, and assistance in the good work of this organization was given in many ways. When, however, our country was forced into war, the first of the popular appeals — appeals which became a vital part of the war service — was for membership in the American Red Cross. Late in March, 1917, when this campaign was un- dertaken, a canvass of our employees resulted in securing 3,567 members with a total of $3,833.00. This showing was at the time considered a notable achieve- ment by Red Cross officials, although it represented but 58 per cent of the employees. This was before America had been impressed as a people with the thought that all had a vital part to play in carrying on the war, and before the determination of the nation to win was fully indicated by the sacrifices her citizens stood ready to make. In this first membership drive a record worthy of mention was made by the Laboring Dept., 98 per cent of whom be- came members. Following soon after was a drive for direct contributions to which our employees subscribed many thousand dollars, largely through outside solicitation, so that the figures were not available to add to our total. At Christmas time, 1917, there was another membership drive, and the Brown & Sharpe membership was raised to 5,141, — 70 per cent of the working force joining at the shop, [81 THE AMERICAN RED CROSS besides outside members; $5,497.00 was collected at that time. At a third membership drive in 1918 the total enrol- ment was 5,317, — 86 per cent of the entire force, — $5,468.20 being secured. In November, 1919, the fourth drive netted $5,445.00 with the largest membership thus far recorded — a result which brought warm words of commendation from the Red Cross officials. Prize banners were awarded in these contests to the Small Tool Dept., Planer Dept., Foundry, Hardening Dept. (twice). Pattern Shop, Grinding Dept. and Pipe Shop. Among the prizes won by Brown & Sharpe employees in the Garden Contests were club prizes amounting to $130.00, which was donated to the American Red Cross by the gardeners and donations from the Coal Club and by the Grinding and Hardening Depts. added $125.00. In May, 1918, a Red Cross canvass of our employees was made for contributions toward the fund of One Hundred Million Dollars then needed to carry on the work. This resulted in 5,317 contributors turning in $6,041.82 to the Red Cross Treasury. Thus the direct contributions from the Brown & Sharpe employees to the Red Cross cause amounted to $26,540.02. During one of these drives an Armenian employee on taking out a $500.00 insurance policy under the Brown & Sharpe plan was asked to name his beneficiary. He re- plied that as his relatives had all been killed in Armenia, he would make the American Red Cross his beneficiary. In the first canvass for membership so much enthusiasm was aroused that in almost every department throughout the factory flags and patriotic decorations, placed there by the workmen, were soon in evidence, followed by service flags as men from the respective departments left for the front, so that throughout the war every department of the shop showed its sympathy and spirit of loyalty by this visible means. [82; 83 UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN cjmpjig:m^ URING the early part of the war liberal contributions were made from time to time to each of the seven organizations which afterwards united in December, 1918, in the great campaign to secure the United War Work Fund. In some of the early campaigns the con- tributions from our employees were largely outside of the Brown & Sharpe Works, but subscriptions raised directly in our works for these various causes amounted to a large sum. The first of these was the Y. M. C. A. Red Triangle War Fund, in the fall of 1917. A month later contributions to the Knights of Columbus War Camp Fund were received, followed in February, 1918, by a collection for the Salvation Army War Camp Fund, another subscription for the Salva- tion Army being taken in May, 1919. In October, 1919, a canvass for Jewish Relief for War Sufferers was made, all these various contributions totaling $5,077.81. In the United War Work Campaign of November, 1918, prizes were again offered for the winning department, and a spirited campaign was conducted, resulting in securing $22,204.55, — 91 per cent of the employees contributing. The winning department in this contest was the Stock Room, a feature of the award being that besides the de- partment banner, an individual ribbon was awarded to each employee of the department. Another activity, showing a desire to serve our boys abroad in every possible way, was the raising of funds for the Providence Journars "Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund." Several of the departments organized clubs which made regular contributions to this cause, and as far as the records have been obtained these clubs turned in $1,338.99 for this purpose. A Benefit Concert for the Tobacco Fund was also held in November, 1918, at Infantry Hall, under the leadership of C. B. Long, the talent being composed en- [85] CHARITIES, 1918 AND 1919 tirely of Brown & Sharpe employees. The net proceeds amounted to $1,225.91, which made a total of $2,564.90 contributed by Brown & Sharpe employees to the Tobacco Fund. CHAT^iriES, igi8 .AND igig Red Cross, including Garden Prize of ^130.00 contributed, ^26,540.02 United War Work Activities 27,282.36 Halifax Disaster, from Foundry 50.00 Tobacco Fund, including contributions from Dept. Clubs, 2,564.90 Total Gifts to War Work, $56,437.28 One department, the Flask Shop connected with the Foundry employing over 40 men, made a record of 100 per cent subscriptions and gifts in all war drives. As a recognition of the services of those who took part in the concert and in order to raise money for a Welcome Home Fund for our Service Men, a dance was held at Rhodes' on Feb. 14, 1919, which was a great success, netting $718.38, which with money received from a football game and other sources gave a fund of $1,025.07. This together with a contribution from the Company was used for a Welcome Home Celebration, held on Oct. 30, 1919, when nearly 1,200 were in attendance, including about 450 of our Service Men, who were the guests of their shopmates. An entertainment and buffet luncheon were provided, and William A. Viall, Secretary of the Company, made the address welcoming the boys home. Besides this general welcome there were a number of Welcome Home events for Department Service Men — an example of which was the Supply Dept., a fund of over $300.00 having been raised for the purpose.

Co. could best perform to aid in winning the war, the accepted answer was that because of the urgent need of their machinery and tools they should in the main continue to manufacture their regular line, speeding up to increase pro- duction to the limit. This policy was followed, meeting and overcoming the difficulties arising from the loss of over 900 men to enter the service and of many others who left for other jobs. In spite of these drains on the working force an excep- tionally large nucleus of experienced and skilled employees remained and made possible by their loyal and unremit- ting effort the assimilation of large numbers of new and inexperienced employees, including more than a thousand *'girls"; this, while still keeping up and increasing production and maintaining the high standard of workmanship for which the Company stands. While the splendid showing in subscriptions to war loans and charities which has been recorded on preceding pages is one to be proud of, the real showing which served most directly to help in winning the war was the steady and unending stream of machines and tools, which flowed from our Works into arsenals and essential industries — the prod- uct of loyal and faithful workers within the walls of our factory. THE WORKMAV^ TO HIS J^THE Written when the war was at its height by Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press ** O lathe of mine, across the sea They need the work of you and me; They will be fine if we be true; They'll hold the line, if we but do This task that now to us is set; Let's keep the faith and not forget. Speed up ! Speed up ! Across the sea Our soldiers wait on you and me ! " [89] WOMEN'S WAR WORK J^TALTT MEET IN g |]ITH the purpose of further arousing the spirit of patriotism and making it effective in speeding up essential war work in our shop, Loyalty Mass Meetings were held on Aug. 28, 1918, the employees east of Holden Street attending one and those west of Holden Street the other, thus bringing the total force of 7,000 under the spell of the eloquent and forceful appeals of Capt. W. A. Cameron of the Canadian Army. At these meetings the entire force pledged renewed loyalty in their work to the nation and the cause for which she fought. Music was furnished by the Brown & Sharpe Band, led by J. J. Rooney, and met with enthusiastic approval. At the noontime meetings, throughout the various cam- paigns of war activities, this Band was of great service. WOMEU\['S fFAT^JFORK^ T had been foreseen that as soon as America entered the war the shortage of help would be much accentuated and plans for meeting this shortage had already been considered by the Brown & Sharpe Management. Among these was the employment of women, not only for shop clerical positions but also for Machine Shop work. Steps were taken at once to use such help. The women took hold with ability, interest and loyalty, quickly be- coming proficient in many lines of shop work. By the time the Armistice was signed there were 1,481 women em- ployed, all but a few hundred of these filling shop positions, they being at work in almost every department except the Foundry. Special note has been made by many observers of the high type of girls who have been brought together in our [90] WAR GARDENS working force and their neat and orderly appearance not only in the shop but also on the street when coming to and leaving work. While the number employed was reduced following the Armistice to make room for the returning Service Men it has since been gradually increased with the growth of the business. IFJTi^ GyiRT)E:h(S ECAUSE of the serious food shortage and the soaring cost of food stuffs which con- fronted the world in the spring of 1917, Brown & Sharpe undertook the supervi- sion of War Gardens for the benefit of their employees. These proved so suc- cessful that the plan has been continued each year since its inception, with increas- ingly gratifying results. In the following table showing these results, the cost to Brown & Sharpe of assisting in the work is not included: Year No. of Men No. of Gardens Av. Cost per Man Av. Value per Man Total Value of Crops Total Profit of Crops I917 I918 I919 627 588 575 748 722 $4.00 3-77 4.62 $20.00 16.92 31.81 $10,032.00 10,611.00 18,602.95 $8,163.91 8,348.04 15,986.13 Thus in three seasons about forty thousand dollars' worth of produce has been raised, at a profit to the garden- ers of about thirty-two thousand dollars, besides their re- ceiving several hundred dollars in prizes — ^this largely on land which if it had not been cultivated by them, would in all probability have lain idle and produced practically nothing. In 1919 over 7,000 bushels of potatoes were raised, the crops raised in the prize gardens giving a phenomenal yield at the rate of 575 bushels per acre. ;9i] AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP <^MET{ICA^ CiriZEU\(SHIT HE question of Citizenship was brought prominently to the front in connection with our war activities, and in 1917 took the form of a campaign in our Works to assist all employees who desired to become citizens. As a result out of 1,312 aliens among our workmen at the time 505 took out first papers and 606 already having first papers took steps from time to time as eligible to become full citizens. Among employees hired since that time 464 aliens have either become citizens or started on the road to citizenship, niaking a total of 1,575 who have been aided by us toward citizenship. Of these 133 were in military service during the Great War, thus entitling them to citizenship and leav- ing but a few of our alien employees not as yet taking steps to become American citizens. The Company is further encouraging and aiding those on their way to citizenship in their study of English and civics in|the evening classes conducted by the public schools. 'lARMISTICE T)Ar, Vs^OV. 11, 1918 VER HERE. After a premature announce- ment on November 8 had put every one on edge the real news of the signing of the Armistice came before daylight on Novem- ber 11, and Providence, like the rest of the country, went wild with rejoicing. What attempt there was on the part of Brown & Sharpe employees to report for work was soon diverted into some form of celebration. Several parades were formed, one led by members of our Band, others marching with improvised slogans and trans- parencies, and automobiles loaded with employees circled the Works. The celebrators soon scattered through the 92 , *^- •: ^j^r^ .^ «•<«•» C/2 O 3 tH O o .S U U O O C/5 O U 1; o ,, i«: ite-a 93 ARMISTICE DAY, NOV. 11, 1918 downtown section of the city sharing throughout the day in the general celebration. "OVER THERE." From one of the boys in a letter dated Nov. 12, 1918: "The day that we have all been looking forward to for so long is at last here although it is hard to believe that the war is at an end. "The news came to us yesterday morning at about ten o'clock that Germany had accepted and signed the Armis- tice and that operations would cease at eleven o'clock that morning. We were in the act of putting over a heavy bar- rage when the word came to us and of course every one around went wild, but that did not interfere with the bar- rage and we kept on plugging away until eleven o'clock. On the last round fired from the guns a long lanyard was attached to each gun and every one around had hold of it when the last shot went sailing on its way, so about every one in the Battery had a hand in firing one of the last shots. Since eleven o'clock yesterday everything has been quiet and it certainly does seem strange after about ten months at the front to have everything quiet again. "Last night every one who could, got hold of a flare pistol and the sky was lit up continually with signal rockets of all descriptions and it is the same to-night. It certainly is a change to go outside and see lights everywhere. All the autos have their headlights lit as they travel the roads where formerly a light at night around here was seldom seen. "I suppose the people back home are having all kinds of demonstrations and that there is all kind of rejoicing. "It is hard for us here to realize that the war is really over and of course we won't realize it fully until we see the good old U. S. A. once more."
