4000 YD Men Arrive Home as Sherburne Brigade Reunites
Four thousand Yankee Division artillerymen arrive in Boston aboard the Mongolia and join Camp Devens by nightfall. Brigadier General John H. Sherburne and the 51st Artillery Brigade headquarters, plus batteries C through F of the 101st, and the 102d and 103d Field Artillery, are among those welcomed. Generals Coolidge Edwards and Beekman attend with Rhode Island leaders. Private Norman Elliott receives the Croix de Guerre after a daring escape and survival as a prisoner of war.
