Boston Welcomes Yankee Division Home After Historic Parade
A two hour Boston parade welcomes Major-General Clarence Edwards and 20 000 New England soldiers home from France. Crowds cheer through streets Charles and Beacon as wounded veterans ride past, flags unfurl, and officers receive ovations led by Col Logan and Gov Coolidge. The 26th Division, including the 101st and 102d regiments, is honored with war honors and personal salutations from the city. General Hale reviews the troops at 3:40 pm before departing Camp Dix.
