Veteran writes of Croix De Guerre rumor and front notes
A veteran from Company 148 F.A. M.D. recounts early front experiences in France, debunks false Croix de Guerre claims, recalls the La Ferte Saint Journsire rail head raid, German air raids, and the first battles near Dormans on the Marne. He praises American troops, French cooperation, and the brigade's actions in destroying bridges and stopping the German advance. He notes hopes for recognition and reflects on war’s emotional toll. He closes with a Darwin ape find note from the Congo.
