Trench Piano Battalion tale shocks Allied camp
At Camp Gordon a rumor of a 307th French Piano Battalion amuses officers and soldiers. A local paper spreads a joking tale of palms and lip sticks carried to the front, while the 82nd Division fights in France. German airmen later drop a copy of the spoof into trenches, prompting a letter from Major Quimby Malon praising the humor and noting the leaflet’s mysterious transmission.
