General Cole arrives in Boston amid crowds and a grand reception from Massachusetts and Boston committees. He touts readiness for a divisional homecoming parade, praises the 26th Division and its junior officers, and discusses past removals and reinstatements within the command.
General Cole notes minimal illness among troops after the armistice. Frontline soldiers show greater immunity than rear camps, with the 104th Regiment reporting under one percent sick list and similar figures for other units.
General Hale on his first day in command praises the division and credits its strong record to its original commander Major General Edwards, his West Point classmate. General Cole notes the acknowledgement.
On the eve of his departure for the United States General Cole was told he received the French war cross with palm for valor. The citation is not yet in. The presentation is expected in Boston in the coming weeks. Charles Edwards or Harry Hale may pin the medal.
General Cole lauds the 26th Yankee Division as unrivaled in the American army. He notes their participation in every major offensive and their extended defense, highlighting enlisted men and junior officers for enduring long, dangerous front-line duties with commendation.
General Cole says Colonel Logan was removed by Brigadier General Bamford, a junior who had seen far less front-line service. The order came 24 hours after Bamford took command and before learning Logan's record. He cites inertia as the charge, a constitutional defect needing time to observe, yet charged within a day.
General Cole tells a welcome committee he is glad to be home and proud to have commanded the boys in France. He says he could not always express his true feelings to them there for discipline reasons and adds that you cannot do enough for them.
