Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief History of Appleton's Old Company G (Co a 150th Machine Gun Battalion) With the Rainbow Division in the Great War
And today has been a triumphal procession. Every town was lined with people and a mass of streamers, rows of evergreens trimmed with colored papers and ribbons, even triumphal arches, had been erected in some of the more enterprising villages. In one town a woman gave me a bit of worsted with the colors of Belgium. I wore it all day and enclose it herewith.
The men get coffee and bread as soon as they hit their billets (american Red Cross relief for the Belgians), but the Huns took the white flour we sent and gave them black bread.
