Parker to Attend Montana Reunion as Gatling Gun Hero
Lewistown veterans recount Col. Parker, famed Machine Gun Parker, leading his troops under heavy fire at the 1918 German offensive. Struck by barbed wire, he urged his men forward after a daring rescue, later earning the nickname Gatling Gun Parker for his advocacy of suppressive fire. A parade review Friday at 1:30 p.m. will honor him with his arrival expected today or tomorrow. The colonel, West Point graduate, lives in Los Angeles in retirement.
