General Williams Returns Home From France On Leave
General Roger D. Williams, retired, who served in France since last June, has returned to Kentucky on a sixty day leave. He led the 76th Brigade Infantry at Camp Shelby before sailing to France in 1918 and served as liaison with First Army headquarters and later with the Eighth Army Corps. He recounts battles at Montfaucon and in the Argonne and notes his positive impressions of American soldiers and German civilians during the occupation period. He plans civilian life if peace holds.
