Ohio Soldiers Guard King Albert of Belgium Historical Entry
King Albert and Queen consort entered Brussels on November 27 after four years in exile. A cablegram to the war department says a battalion of the 37th Ohio National Guard Division first followed the king and now holds billets east of the Scheldt. Officials reject claims of heavy or abnormal casualties for the 37th, noting losses were expected in hard fighting. The war department cannot predict the final casualty list timing, estimating about 3,000 names per day for 36 to 40 days.
