Van Buren Soldier Boy Leaves for Abroad in 28th U S Regiment
Forrest D. Higgins of Van Buren and Van Buren High School becomes the town’s first locally known soldier called to foreign service. A letter from him while aboard ship at a Atlantic port dated June 10 reports his division with General Pershing’s Southwestern forces and his move from Columbus to Ft Houston and Ft McIntosh before joining the 28th U S regulars for sea duty. He left Marion on March 5 and bade his high schoolmates farewell with a hello to the WBHS students. Details on his landing and future word are awaited by his parents and grandparents.
