Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twelfth U. S. Infantry, 1798-1919 This is the story of the Twelfth Regiment of Infantry in the Army of the United States. It is what is called a regular regiment. It was made up by voluntary enlistment and by transfer to its ranks of some men under the conscription act. It is a regiment which was stationed and trained on the Pacific Coast. It is a regiment which was prevented from reaching France by the influenza, by the expedition to Siberia, and by the coming of the armistice. It had reached the point of embarkation when hostilities ended. Its members have had a great experience, although it did not involve a battle at the front. In their desires and their imaginations they have faced the foes of the world, have exposed themselves to danger, and have acquired that soldierly spirit which comes from the drill and discipline needed in war, with every prospect of making the ultimate sacrifice, if it be necessary, to win victory. They should have the sympathy of everyone who sympathizes with a man earnest and willing and anxious to discharge a great duty and denied by circumstances the opportunity to perform it. The spirit of the men at the front was felt by the men training at home. The prospect of the prolongation of the war for another year and the certainty of their being engaged were present in the mind of every man in the regiment. They are better men for this experience.
