The following list is as complete to date as possible. It is restricted to those who were residents or were former residents of the town of Manlius to Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, but does include those men who served in the student corps and military reserves. While it is true that other World War I servicemen moved into the town after this date, they are not part of this collection. St. John's students and instructors who were at the school prior to War's end, and who participated in the War, are included because they resided in the town of Manlius while attending the school.

It is clear that as early as 1918 the Board of Supervisors of Onondaga Co. already lacked sufficient information to make war records correct. While the town of Manlius may be given credit for some servicemen, some resided outside of the town boundary, but their post office address was either Fayetteville or Manlius. Where this occurs, or where there are questions regarding source reliability, the name is preceded by a question mark. If you know a missing name, find incorrect data or want to add information, please contact me so that this record can be as accurate as possible. Compiled by Kathy Crowell, 1997.

Ballantyne, Dr. Reginald M. Manlius. "Lieutenant R. M. Ballantyne, Corporal W. W. Cheney and several new members of the Seneca Club were tendered a reception at the club rooms Monday evening," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 4/13/1917. "Dr. Reginald M. Ballantyne of this village (Manlius) expects to enter the medical corps of the U. S. Army. He took the required examinations a few weeks ago and is now expecting his commission which will give him rank of a lieutenant or captain with chance for promotion. He is preparing to move to Syracuse on July 1 where he will store his goods and where Mrs. Ballantyne will make her home with her parents for the present. Having seen less than a year's military service, Dr. Ballantyne served in four companies the past year while on the Texan border. When the New York militia was called to the colors last June Dr. Ballantyne was a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the First Field Artillery, attached to Battery A of Syracuse. When the New Yorkers left for the border he was informed that because of some technicality he must remain in New York State. Assignment to the battery's depot unit was suggested. This did not fit in with Dr. Ballantyne's plans. He wanted active service and active service he must have. So he quietly filed his resignation, which in due course was accepted. Shortly afterward Capt. Chester King of Troop D, First Cavalry, swore in Private Reginald Ballantyne. At McCallen, Tex., there was a dearth of medical officers and after several months Private Ballantyne was transferred to the Fourth New York Ambulance Company and inside of a month Dr. Ballantyne was again wearing the gold and black hatcord of a commissioned officer. From the ambulance company he went to the Fourth Heavy Artillery of Buffalo and it was with the latter's outfit he returned to Buffalo. A short time ago he was transferred back to the Ambulance Corps," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/1/1917. "Dr. Reginald M. Ballantyne has received orders to report to the Medical corps training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, between June 18 and 20. At present Dr. Ballantyne is surgeon with rank of lieutenant in the Fourth Ambulance Corps but hopes soon to receive a better appointment. The doctor's varied military duty has proven disastrous for a wide practice which he had built during his comparatively short stay in Manlius, "The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/8/1917. "Dr. Reginald M. Ballantyne received notice today of his appointment to the medical corps of the regular army and to report to the state expansion camp in Syracuse to be mustered into the service. Dr. Ballantyne had been expecting to be ordered to the training camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, to await a commission in the army but the new order waves going to the training camp for his commission," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/22/1917. "Dr. Reginald M. Ballantyne of Manlius, now first lieutenant of the Fourth Ambulance Company, Syracuse, has been appointed military instructor for the second medical corps camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind., where he will remain for some time," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/7/1917.

C., according to a message received by relatives in Syracuse Saturday, " The Fayetteville Bulletin, 3/29/1918. "Lieut. Reginald M. Ballantyne, formerly of Manlius, has become First Lieutenant of Ambulance Company 105, One Hundred and Second Sanitary Train, at Camp Wadsworth," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 4/5/1918. "First Lieut.

"According to letters received in Syracuse, members of the One Hundred and Fifth Ambulance Company, which includes Captain Reginald Ballantyne of Manlius escaped death by a matter of minutes when a time mine left by the retreating Germans blew up a railroad crossing on the day the Syracusans moved back from the front to a rest camp," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/29/1918. "Raymond D. Balsley writes of his safety in France and of meeting Dr. Reginald M. Ballantyne and Frank Battle, Jr.," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 12/27/1918. "A number of Manlius soldiers arrived in New York this week from overseas with the 27th Division. These include Captain Reginald Ballantyne of the 105th Ambulance company, Q. M. Sergeant Leonard Kantak and Corporal Frank Battle of the 102d Ammunition Train and Private Coburn Goodfellow of Company C. The men are all now at Camp Merritt and will come home after the big parade of the 27th Division in New York on March 22. The 105th Ambulance Company of the 102d Sanitary Train saw much service, even though it did not get right behind the big guns. It stayed at Brest most of the time, loading wounded soldiers onto transports...From Brest the company went to Rosel and was there just five days within sound of the guns when the kaiser quit. Then the men went to a rest camp at Corbie. The town had been all 'shot up.' No civilians were left in it, and the place which had a population of perhaps 30,000 was as vacant as a garret. The ambulance company and the other men sent there had it all to themselves. The 102 Ammunition Train, after training all summer near Bordeaux was sent to the front September 1. They got into battle about four miles from Verdun and kept the guns supplied until the armistice was signed. They ploughed over all kinds of roads day and night. They were in the St. Mihiel drive and in the great battle of Dun-Sur-Meuse on Nov. 1-3. The Ammunition Train was in many of the hottest campaigns, but the nearest it came to a casualty was when a 'freight car' shell demolished a truck in which a driver, a helper and five passengers were riding," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 3/14/1919. "Captain Dr. Reginald M. Ballantyne who was in town last week, says he will resume his interrupted medical practice in Manlius providing he can obtain rooms for office and home," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 4/25/1919. "Dr. Reginald M.

"Hubert Wilcox Butts, physical instructor at St. John's School, died Monday of pneumonia at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George F. Butts south of the village. Mr. Butts was taken ill with pleurisy a few weeks ago and his health somewhat undermined by previous illness in army camp, his powers of resistance were not sufficient to ward off the attack of pneumonia which followed. Mr. Butts was born at Omaha, Nebraska, October 7, 1894. His early education was at Andover, Mass., and later at St. John's, where he graduated with honor in 1915. In the fall of the same year he entered Colgate and joined Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. When the spirit of the war overtook him he was teaching at the New York Military Academy on the Hudson, but felt that he wanted to do more than that so he entered the Third Officers Training Camp at Camp Lee, Va. Here he made a fine start in the artillery, but the work and exposure were too much for him and he became seriously ill, spending some fourteen weeks in the hospital. Finally he was discharged, but not cured. His health never returned. A serious internal trouble remained and caused him endless pain. Notwithstanding this his genial disposition made him popular with the cadets and faculty at St. John's. Besides his parents, he is survived by a brother, Lieut. Willard W.

Butts, Willard Wilcox. Manlius. "Willard Butts has resigned his position as superintendent of the Merrell-Soule Co. factory at Gainesville, to go into the new draft army. Previous to receiving his call which required his presence at Warsaw, Tuesday Mr. Butts has been spending a few weeks at home," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/7/1917. "Mr. and Mrs. Geo. F. Butts have received a letter from their son, Willard, who went with the first contingent of drafted men to Camp Dix in which he describes life in detail at the large cantonment: Yesterday and today surely have been busy days for us. You see we have had only 35 in this Battery so far--sort of a skeleton for those to come. We expected 109 more late last night, but they were delayed and did not arrive until today. I am now doing Mess Sergeant work, so we had extra work getting ready to feed them all. The mess sergeant job is only temporary, they say. They've put in a regular army mess sergeant to get me started right, with the idea that he won't stay long, and that I can break in some one else later. I started this letter last night, but was interrupted by the captain, who wanted me to do some typewriting for him. After that it was bed time. About one o'clock this morning the sentinel who guards the guns outside our barracks hollered 'Corporal of the guard! fire! We all woke up and found one of the barracks, the fifth from ours, all afire. We got dressed but were ordered not to leave the barracks. We could see it quite plainly, and soon heard two fire trucks thunder by. In just half an hour it was all out, and no other buildings were burned. The first bunch of us to arrive here moved upstairs yesterday. There are now 140 of us sleeping in one enormous room. There are over 50 windows, and a high roof with ventilator open the whole length. You can get a little idea of what they look like from the pictures in the paper I'm mailing. This also gives you some idea of how the barracks look from without. You can't get any conception, however, of the magnitude of the whole thing. The camp is 3 miles square and there are ten thousand men here now erecting and finishing buildings. That camp by the (Syracuse) fair grounds looks like a pygmy beside this. We have electric lights, wooden barracks of course, excellent toilet arrangements except that the showers are not yet connected with the hot water. We eat at mess tables built in the mess hall with benches also built in. They're much like the ordinary picnic tables. We can get laundry done very reasonably through a Trenton concern. Trenton is a city of 130,000 people, only 18 miles away. We never have cream or butter, fresh milk or eggs. I like them all but I can exist without them. Condensed milk, reconstituted is our milk diet. Just the same, we fare very well, and I really enjoy the meals. In fact I like the whole thing immensely, and while we have no privacy and no luxuries which we don't buy, we're comfortable and well treated, and don't need any one's pity. I never saw a better satisfied bunch of men. It's much like school or college. We have Wednesday and Saturday p. m. off, as well as all day Sunday. Then there's football practice week days. The Y. M. C. A. has a hut near here and there are frequent entertainments there. They surely do a wonderful lot for the soldiers. When you consider that we get board, lodging and all our clothes besides our pay, $30.00 for privates, it isn't so very bad for the average man although it seems small to some of us. Here is a typical days menu: Breakfast--Oatmeal and milk, Beef stew, (sometimes bacon), bread, coffee. Dinner--Soup, pot roast of beef, boiled or mashed potatoes, tomatoes, or corn or macaroni, pudding of some kind, bread, water. Supper--Steak, German fried potatoes, stewed prunes or peaches or apple sauce, bread, coffee. There's never a choice, but we aim to vary the menu as much as possible, having fritters and syrup occasionally. Friday I took the Ford and scoured around the country for green vegetables. Landed some cabbage and arranged for some sweet potatoes which I secured yesterday and which the boys enjoyed today.

"Lieut. Clarence A. Dennis, mentioned in Saturday's casualty report as having been killed in action June 7th (?), was for six years a student at St. John's school and was well known in both Manlius and Fayetteville. He was captain of the Manlius unit composed of young men of the village who were given drill at St. John's two years ago. His mother lived in Fayetteville during the time he was at St. John's. He graduated one year ago and, being less than 21 years old at the time, was refused a commission in the United States army. He had proven such an excellent student, however, that General Verbeck used his good offices to get the boy a commission in the United States Marine corps. Lieutenant Dennis was not quite 22 years old at the time of his death on the battlefield in France and was said to be the youngest commissioned officer in the marines. He was an honor student at Manlius. A younger brother was a student at Manlius up to a year ago when he was taken ill with infantile paralysis. The family's home is in Hackensack, N.J. The young lieutenant's mother died two years ago, the survivors being his father, W. H. Dennis; two brothers, Harvey of Hackensack and Whitney Dennis of Dryden, N.Y., and two sisters, Miss Ida Dennis and Mrs. Fred James, both of Hackensack.

"Lieutenant, 80th Company, 6th Regiment, Marine Corps, Chateau-Thierry, killed in action. Distinguished Service Cross, The Haversack, 1919, Manlius, NY, p. 103. "After graduating with high honors from the Marine Officers' Training School at the Corps Concentration Camp, Quantico, Va., Lieutenant Dennis was one of the officers who were especially assigned to duty with the 6th Marines. His ability obtained for him an assignment with an organization which was then famous for its personnel, and which has since made history which shall live forever. He reported for duty with the regiment on Aug. 20, 1917 and was assigned to the 80th Company. He came to France with his company, and continued on duty with it until the 2nd of February, 1918, when he was selected to take a special course at the First Army Corps School. He completed the course successfully and rejoined his company. He was present with the company when on June 1st, 1918, the forces took up the offensive against the enemy and turned his theretofore advancing and victorious columns in a direction unexpected by their leader. Lieutenant Dennis was there, also many other Americans. All had but a single thought--the destruction of the 'Destroyer.' Our artillery roared like thousands of lions turned loose, carrying messages of death and destruction to the enemy; our machine-gunners did their deadly work; our riflemen and also grenade throwers pushed forward carrying with them death and destruction to whatever opposed them. Many enemy prisoners were taken, many were slain in battle, but there on that spot, where such deeds were performed was first fanned into existence a spark which shall grow day by day until it finally results in universal human brotherhood of all the people of the earth--there was the beginning of the end of the war. Lieutenant Dennis was then in command of the 4th platoon of his company. He did his work well, a good soldier--both officer and companion to his men (a rare quality.) He has been mentioned in general orders, the highest honor which can be paid to a soldier, especially there were so many who so loyally defended the cause of country. Lieutenant Dennis lived an exemplary life, was well liked by all, especially by those of his platoon who best knew him. I wish that we could bring him back to you," from an officer of his regiment published in The Wind Mill, St. John's School, December 1918, pp. 11-12. "Lieutenant Clarence A. Dennis, Company G, was killed in the capture of Bouresches...after having displayed marked courage in leading his men through an artillery and machine gun fire and having kept his firing line supplied with ammunition. It is indeed a pleasure to write you that your son so conspicuously distinguished himself in action, and it must be a source of great pride for you to know that he performed his duty to the end in such a fearless and able manner. Sincerely yours, George Barnett, Major-General, Commandant," The Wind Mill, St. John's School, December 1918, p. 12. "Gold medals were given the families of those who died in the service (at Fayetteville's Welcome Home Day, October 4, 1919). These were Charles Skinner, Harold Perry, Floyd Stanard and Clarence Dennis. " The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/10/1919. "W. H. Dennis of New York has written Irving D. Perry, chairman of Fayetteville's Welcome Home Day, the following letter thanking the people of Fayetteville for the gold medal sent him: I am in receipt of a service medal given by the people of Fayetteville, in memory of my son. Will you be kind enough to thank them on behalf of his family and express my gratitude. Perhaps it will be interesting to his friends to know that Lieutenant Dennis fought for eight days in Belleau Wood and that he was cited for extraordinary heroism by his immediate Commanding General and that General Pershing cited him for gallantry in action, and that he was commended with seven others in 'General Orders' for the gallant defense in holding the firing line against superior forces, estimated to be forty thousand of the enemy against eight thousand of the Marines. General Pershing also conferred upon him the Distinguished Service Cross and in this instance the citation reads as follows: 'Killed in action at Chateau-Thierry June 8th, 1918, he gave the supreme proof of that extraordinary heroism that will serve as an example to hitherto untried troops' and another citation by the Commanding officer of the Sixth Regiment of the Marines reads: 'Second Lieutenant Clarence A. Dennis, Company G, was killed in the capture of Bouresches on June 8th, after having displayed marked courage in leading his platoon through an artillery and machine gun fire and kept his firing line supplied with ammunition.' In other words in eight days he served his country in those fateful woods, he received commendation from the higher officers every other day. He reported for a new assignment to his Major the morning of the eighth of June, 1918, and he was ordered to rejoin his platoon. He bid his Major good-bye and said to him 'Today, I will be killed' and with this thought in his mind he joined his platoon which formed the third wave of his Company, and at five o'clock in the afternoon and for the third time that day, the Company dug in on the edge of a ravine in the wood, and Lieutenant Dennis walked along the line to see that each man had dug deep enough against the barrage that followed and upon his return he went to the first platoon to see if they had an extra supply of water that he could give to the men of his platoon. He then returned to his dugout which was at the foot of a tree and was not sufficiently deep to afford protection and he took the shovel from his Sergeant, told Sergeant Poppin (?) to get into his dug out and he, Dennis, would finish digging his own among the roots of the tree, and it was while thus engaged that the first shell of the barrage struck directly behind him and mortally wounded him. Sergeant Poppin (?) went to his aid and asked him if he was badly hit and Lieutenant Dennis replied "Only a concussion, Poppin, (?) get me out of this.' The Captain called to know who was hit, and when it was announced it was Mr. Dennis, the men of his platoon left their dug outs and gathered about their dying leader. The Captain seeing their danger ordered them back into their dugouts, to which, the men turned a deaf ear. The second shell wounded eight and killed another lieutenant standing by, and as the shell was heard to approach, Sergeant Poppin (?) prostrated himself over the body of Lieutenant Dennis; another private laid beside him and when they saw that he had passed away, they laid his mute form beside a rock and not until then did they obey their Captain to see shelter. Lieutenant Dennis lies buried in the Marine Cemetery containing twenty-five hundred other heroes on the north side of Belleau Wood. Some day the Government will bring the body of my son back and it will be interred in the little cemetery beside his mother. My son had many friends in Fayetteville and it was his intention to make that village his home when he left the service of the Marine Corps. Again thanking you and the people of Fayetteville for the beautiful medal you have sent, I beg to remain, Yours very sincerely W. H. Dennis," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/17/1919. "Lieutenant Clarence A. Dennis Post was the official name selected by Fayetteville members of the American Legion for the name of their new post at the regular semi-monthly meeting which was held Tuesday night at the Village Inn. The official number of the post will be 369. It was felt that it was fitting that Lieut. Dennis' name should be taken as he was the only boy from the village to lose his life in battle, and that it was in the first real test of manhood of the American force against the Germans. The regular meeting nights of the post are the first and third Thursday nights of the month. Quite a few new faces were noted among the members, and it is the wish of all the members of the Legion that every man who saw service in the army, navy or marine corps during the time of the world war, should become a member. The aim of the Legion is to keep the United States 100 per cent American. American for Americans, each and all, 100 per cent Americans, no Bolsheviks, no Anarchists, nor other creeds are the main principles of the Legion," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/24/1919. "Final tribute with full military honors was paid to Lieut. Clarence A. Dennis, who was killed at Bouresches, France, June 8, 1918 while serving with the Sixth Marines, Sunday afternoon. The Rev. E. B. Grimshaw read the Episcopalian service. More than 500 persons, including his father, William H. Dennis, former professor in the University of New York, and his two brothers and two sisters, who came from New Jersey, attended the services. The services were conducted by the Fayetteville post of the American Legion, which was named in honor of the former officer and the Archie Van Patten Post of Manlius. More than a score of graduates from St. John's School attended the services in a body under the direction of General William Verbeck and Lieut.-Col. Guido F. Verbeck. A firing squad was composed of students of St. John's and a bugler sounded taps as the flag-draped casket was lowered to its final resting place beside his mother, who died in 1916. The bearers were Charles O'Brien, Charles Goodfellow, Ernest Hotaling, Henry Sherwood, Ernest Leech and Harold Kain while the guard of honor consisted of Roy Devore, Walter Prentiss, John Kenney, Thomas Daggett and George Williams. After the services Mr. Dennis, father of Lieutenant Dennis, met with the Legion members at the post rooms and presented the post with a set of silk colors. Sergeant Poulin (?) who was with Lieutenant Dennis when he was killed, gave a brief but graphic description of the battle," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/9/1921.

Dickson, John Dawson. St. John's School cadet. U. S. Army. Commissioned lieutenant at Madison barracks at Plattsburg, The Fayetteville Bulletin, 8/14/1917. "In battle of Argonne Forest was the only officer in company who survived," The Wind Mill, St. John's School, December 1918, p. 15. "lst Lt. Assistant Judge Advocate of the 28th Division, Penn. National Guard. Now in France. Over the top four times. In the battle of Argonne Forest was the only officer in company who survived," The Wind Mill, St. John's School, March 1919, p. 24. "Traveron, France, February 26, 1919, to General William Verbeck, Manlius Schools, Manlius, New York. My dear General:--...I noted also a reference to my being in the Argonne. It might perhaps be of some interest to you to know just what happened to me after leaving Madison Barracks. I first was assigned to the 78th Division at Camp Dix. Within a week 250 officers were attached to the 28th Division at Camp Hancock, Ga. The Division arrived in France on the 14th day of May, 1918. At this time I had a platoon in Company I. We trained with the British for about a month and were in Reserve near Ypres. Toward the end of June we were hastily loaded on trains and hustled through Paris to a Reserve position near Chateau-Thierry. As it afterwards developed this was a massing of forces by Foch in anticipation of the German drive. On the night of July 3rd, we came in under our first shell fire and from then on until the 11th day of November our Division was out of the shelled zones for only ten days, and these days were consumed in moving from one sector to another. On July 14th our men first came in contact with the Germans south of Reims where the Boche attempted to cross the Marne. The world of course knows what happened. From this date on we raced overland on the heels of the enemy and finally reached his great defensive position on the heights between the Vesle and Aisne. After some very nasty fighting on the Vesle (where Ogilvie was killed) wherein the Boche attempted several counter attacks with the intent to put an end to the continued advance of the doughboys, we were relieved on the 8th day of September, 1919. Naturally everyone was looking forward for a relief but in four days we were blissfully lying in support of the French in the Argonne. During the Marne-Vesle Offensive I was made Battalion Adjutant, and as the Battalion has now become the chief tactical unit the duties of Adjutant were most laborious. Our battalion had lost the Intelligence Officer, Sergt. Major and Clerk and all duties were added to mine. For ten days straight, while on the Vesle, I gave a telephonic report every hour to the Chief of Staff of the activities of our troops and those of the enemy. This work which he would not allow to be delegated and I can assure you that despite my perfectly good military education received at St. John's, I softly and at times loudly cursed said Chief of Staff. On the 26th of September our Regiment led the attack of the 56th Brigade through the Argonne, and for fourteen days and nights we were engaged in the worst sort of fighting imaginable. Our sector of advance lay through the thick woods on the left bank of the Aisne. The Boche had held this position during the entire war and it was defended as only the Boche, with his innumerable machine guns, can build up defensive position. We were relieved by the 82nd Division near Grandpre after advancing over sixteen kilometers and through a position which the French claimed could not be penetrated. In plain English it was Hell. I was one of two officers left in my Battalion. We had five different Regimental Commanders during this engagement and when we finished the Regiment was in command of a Captain and two of the Battalions commanded by First Lieutenants. At the jump off we had over 3800 men and when relieved there were seven officers and 462 men. When relieved this time we of course had visions of rest billets but we were again disappointed. We received our replacements two days after leaving the Argonne and within three days after that had relieved the 37th Division in the Woevre Sector north of Toul. Here my Battalion remained continuously on the front line for 28 days and I had the great pleasure of sending out the order to cease firing at 11 o'clock on the 11th day of November. During our stay on the line in this sector the position of Operations Officer was created and since then I have been carrying on with that work. It is most interesting and fascinating work, entailing the preparation of all orders and the supervision, more or less of their execution. The burning question now is, of course, when do we get home. A. G. H. Q. Memo. A. E. F. of February 21st states that our Division is scheduled to sail for a home port in May, and this is one memorandum which I hope proves true. My great desire is to visit St. John's upon my return. General, why not make a real big blow out of the Old Boys Association gathering in New York and make an especial effort to get all those who served in France to attend. Respectfully yours, John D. Dickson, 1st Lt., 112th Inf., The Wind Mill, St. John's School, March 1919, pp. 29-30.

At the time the letter was written Estes was resting behind the lines after over a month in the trenches. He says the Germans are not going to get him, for they've tried in every way and he has come out of every night without a scratch except for the time he was gassed. When the Huns find it is the Americans in front of them they frequently hold up their hands and come over without fighting. He has a German helmet and several other trophies," The Fayetteville Bulletin 8/23/1918. "William Estes, who is serving in the 23d infantry, writes from France to his sister, Mrs. W. T.

I am also sending you some German money and a shoulder strap that I got from a Hun the last time I was over the top. Well, old boy, I have been over the top eight times up until now. I was slightly wounded the last time but didn't have to go to the hospital and I am all right now. I don't think the war will last much longer for the Germans are going back just as fast as they can and we are after them. It's hard work for they are good runners. They are going so fast we have to use field glasses to keep track of them. Well, I am a Sergeant now and have been for some time. Some good for me, don't you think so? Sergeant Willard L. Estes, Co. H, 23rd U. S. Infantry," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/8/1918. "A. E. F., France. December 15, 1918. Dear Mother:--This being Sunday and the ban on censorship being lifted somewhat, and believing you would like to know a little about my experiences in this country, I will try and connect up a few facts that I think will pass the censor in a storm form to the best of my ability, but remember, mother, that my ability as a novelist is limited, so therefor don't expect any Harold Bill Wright stuff, but just a few facts sent from a soldier boy to his mother in order to try and please her and show I have done my best for Uncle Sam in the great war for freedom and Humanity and God, having seen fit to let me be one of the survivors of that awful struggle, I know that my next duty and greatest obligation is to my mother. On Sept. 7, 1918, the U. S. S. Huron sailed down the Hudson on its way from Hoboken to the sea and the Syracuse brigade had started its advance guard on its way to distant France, where eventually it was to enter the awful conflict. We were aboard the Huron 14 days and the journey was a delightful trip, the submarines failing to get a line on us. At the end of 14 days we docked in the harbor at St. Nazaire, and on Sept. 21 landed once more and set our feet on solid ground. When we had a good meal and our packs were loaded on the trucks we marched out of town about four kilometers and went into a rest camp. We remained in this camp and drilled for 10 days, when again we were loaded on a French train, and believe me they are some train; you could put the whole train in one of our famous American superheating mallet compounds locomotive's fire box and still have plenty of room for fire, but anyway we entrained and after two days and nights in that French box-car we were unloaded at a little town of Bourmount, which is about 60 miles from Verdun, and on a nice, clear, quiet day at drill we could hear the roar of the cannon. We remained in camp at Bourmount and enduring many hardships, drilling and maneuvering all winter, but gaining strength and knowledge. When later we were put to the test we more than proved the equal of the Huns. In fact, we put them to rout every time they came in contact with that famous battle scarred but still same old 'Syracuse Brigade.' Right after dinner on the 14th of March, 1918, we entrained again and started on the memorable trip to those awful trenches. On the 15th day of March we detrained at Dugney, a little town about two kilometers from Verdun, and after a 12-kilometer hike we billeted at Genicourt and rest for two days, during which time our officers went to the front and reconnoitered the sector that we were to take over. It was the first sector, and for the first time we staged our nerves and wits and fighting power against that of the brutal Boche. On the night of March 17, the Boche celebrated St. Patrick's day by putting over a raiding party in a place where the two front lines were only separated by a distance of 45 yards. They were detected by one of our snipers who reported to our officers and a rocket went up as a signal for a barrage. After an interval of eight seconds the signal was answered both by our artillery and our machine guns and for the first time my regiment met and drove the Boches back in disorder. It was a night long to be remembered by the men of that regiment who participated in that hour's first fight. After that everything went well and it was while in that sector that my regiment put over the first all-American raid to be staged in the war. It was the raid that went down in the history of the Syracuse Brigade as the event which first turned No Man's Land into 'Our Land.' never since have we lost control of it, although at times it was heavily contested, and many poor Americans laid down their lives in defending that land. On or about May 1st, and approximately a month and a half in trench warfare, we were withdrawn and again entrained and rushed nearly across France, and finally landed in a little town by the name of Chaumony la Ville, and were stationed there in reserve for the British on the Somme front. Everything went well, although still under artillery fire, until May 30th. We got up and rubbed some of the sleep from our eyes. Looking down the road we could see the road literally lined with French trucks. Our curiosity became much aroused, but it was quickly satisfied for after eating a hurried breakfast we were given a sandwich and told it would be our dinner and then were swiftly loaded on those trucks and started out across France once more, not knowing where we were going. About noon we passed through the outskirts of Paris and taking a mail road on which signs told us would take us to Meaux and farther if need be. Shortly after passing Paris refugees began passing. Some of them had few of their worldly belongings, but most of them had very little. Women and children were crying and the men had a look of hopelessness on their face, but they continued on their weary way, having no home and no place to go but just hopelessly wandering, waiting for some countryman to take them in. One sight I will never forget was a poor old woman who had walked till she could walk no more and she was sitting by the roadside with her shoes off, her feet bleeding and tears running down her cheeks. She was a poor hopeless and utterly disheartened woman. I looked at the faces of the boys in the truck with me. They all had solemn looks on their faces, and I heard more than one of them curse below their breath, and swear that if they were ever given a chance they would get revenge on the Huns for at least one of those poor homeless refugees. No doubt many a Hun met his doom at the hands of Yanks, and in the Yank's heart he was saying, 'Take that in exchange for what you did to that poor old French mother.' The stream of refugees kept filing by and we continued on our way, hungry, tired and dusty. That night about 11 o'clock the trucks stopped and we were ordered to unload. The roads were crowded with traffic, and we unloaded amidst a hail of shrapnel and machine gun bullets. We immediately formed into combat formation. Details were sent for ammunition and soon we were equipped with 300 rounds of rifle ammunition to each man, and a pouch full of grenades. On that memorable night never to be forgotten by men of the second division, we were hurled into battle against the onrushing Huns, who were then on a march towards Paris. They hurled their masses against those determined Yanks in vain, only to be driven back in disorder. Time and time again the Huns were stopped by Americans in the greatest battle ever fought by the Americans in France. We were the only American division there. The battle was the second battle of the Marne, better known by the Americans at the battle of Chateau-Thierry. In that battle our division was actually engaged against three divisions of Prussian guards. It was again proven to the world that Americans had yet their first time to give way in battle or suffer defeat. It was during this awful battle that the Syracuse Brigade was named the Saviors of Paris, and the Marines earned the title of the Green Devils. Both the Marines, the 9th and 23rd infantry, ever afterwards was called by the Huns the 'Devil Dogs.' It was also at this battle that we were named shock troops, the first American division to be thus named. Pershing in one of his speeches said, 'I sincerely wish that I had a few more divisions like the Second.' On June 24th I was gassed in this same fight and was able to get a 15-day rest in the American hospital. My division still remained and after 30 days of awful fighting was relieved by an eastern division of prize American troops. At 4:36 on the morning of July 18th, they went over the top, and started Foch's great offensive which turned the German's triumph and forward march into a disastrous defeat. From that day until the day the armistice was signed the Allies continued to push the Huns back to their own borders. I got back to my company just in time for this battle. The second division was actually engaged in the Soisson drive for two days, during which time they advanced a distance of 15 kilometers, capturing 3,500 prisoners, of which 675 were officers. They also captured eleven batteries of artillery, composed of both heavy and light, and over 100 machine guns, besides numerous other weapons and supplies, and liberated from the Huns yoke four towns of which the most important was Verzy. The German resistance here was obstinate but American courage finally won the day. Our troops marched through and passed the town at 3 o'clock. My battalion of the 23rd Infantry, supported by the first battalion, was held up just to the left of Verzy by intense machine gun fire; the Algerians were also held up on our right. My battalion called for reinforcements and the first battalion advanced and the two battalions combined forces. We were just getting into shape when the Boche launched a counter attack in a valley directly in our front, advancing on us in mass formation, seemingly resolved to wipe us off the earth. We lay down and said a short prayer, and patiently awaited for the attack. Those Huns kept on coming when suddenly a yell arose from the Americans. On looking we saw those French tanks coming up the Valley. The Germans on seeing them retreated back to their own lines. The day was saved by that same old French spirit that availed at Verdun when the password was, 'They shall not pass,' and thousands of Germans retreated across the great river while trying to get out of that valley. After this we fell back about 200 yards and reorganized. At 6 P. M. we started to advance on the town of Verzy. That town was of great importance to the Boche as they had many munition plants there, and were ordered to hold them at all cost, but the Americans pushed on. In the streets of the town was fought one of the hardest fights ever staged in war in the history of the world. German machine guns spit death from the windows of every house, and the German artillery seemed to be resolved to wipe the town and all that was in it out of this world; but two can play at the same game, and American rifles and bayonets charged those machine guns and with grenades as their last resort finally cleared the town of Boches, who had made life there a hell ever since the war started in 1914. The fight raged until 7:30 P. M., but again as always we showed those Huns that they bit off more than they could chew when they refused to listen to President Wilson, the greatest man the world has ever produced. We at last acquired the town and went on and consolidated our position about a kilometer beyond. On July 20 we were relieved by the French, and after hiking 75 kilometers in two days and nights, we took over a sector of trenches at Nancy, holding that for about 17 days, after which we journeyed on again for three nights, resting finally at our jumping off place for the St. Mihiel drive. On the morning of Sept. 12th, after two hours' artillery preparation we again scaled the top and started in pursuit of the retreating Huns. Our objective was a distance of 18 kilometers, and we were allotted a space of time amounting to 48 hours to gain this objective, but we advanced and gained it by 11 A. M. the first day, beating our schedule some 40 hours. After taking our objective, we went over and took the Marines, and held the front allotted to two brigades. The Marines arrived and took over their own front 24 hours later, but at that they were eager to go ahead. It was in this battle that we advanced on enemy artillery firing point blank at us, the man pulling the lanyard being plainly in sight, but here again the Americans charged with bayonets and the Huns were forced to retire, leaving us in possession of many prisoners and numerous pieces of artillery. In his drive, for the first time, the French fought with us, fighting under an American head. Our leader was personally in command and to him and his men can be given the credit of liberating from the Huns ten Lorraine cities and towns and 150 square miles which had been held by the Boche since he defeated the French in the War of 1870. We were relieved by another American division and retired to have a rest in the woods about 30 kilometers to the rear. We were promised a long rest, probably all winter, but fate played against us because the British were fighting day and night to capture St. Quentin, but could not because the strong point on the Champagne front, known as the Blanc Mont ridge, in the Argonne forest, controlled St. Quentin on the right flank. The British, therefore, dared not advance and explore their flanks to the fires of this dangerous fort. General Foch again took a hand in the game and made up his mind to capture this fort and make it possible for the British to take St. Quentin. So with this in mind he launched six different attacks with French divisions, but all failed. Being at his wits end he called on General Pershing for the 2nd Division. Pershing refused, offering Foch any other two divisions he wanted, but Foch's reply was, 'You have no two divisions that can equal the second. Mr. Pershing, therefore I demand the second.' So on the morning of Oct. 3rd we scaled the top again. The 9th Infantry went over on the right with the 23rd Infantry in support and the 5th Marines went over on our left with the 6th marines in support and with the famous yell which never yet failed to put fear in the heart of the Huns, the second division started out to add another victory to its already crowded list. Our first objective was the famous Hindenberg line, a distance of nine kilometers, and we were there at the foot of that awful fort at 10:30 A. M. gaining our first objective in four hours. At 4 o'clock we again took up the advance, the 23rd Infantry passing through the 9th Infantry and taking over the front line. We had advanced beyond the range of our artillery and so all attacks from then on had to be fought with infantry alone. But nevertheless we started advancing. About one kilometer, we were held up by an enemy artillery barrage and machine guns combined. Another yell and charge resulted, and once more we captured the artillery that was shooting at us and also some of the machine guns, killing many Boches and losing many of our own men. At 6 o'clock we halted for the night and dug in. We were under heavy artillery fire all night and at break of day the Huns came at us with a counter attack which we repelled after which we fell back and reorganized. At 2 A. M. on the 4th we attacked again without success. The French on our right and Marines on our left were about three kilometers to our rear, leaving our flank exposed to the enemy artillery and machine gun fire, causing us many losses. We stuck, however, and imagine our joy when on the night of the 3rd day, which was Oct. 6th, we found out that the French and Marines by hard fighting had at last advanced and established on our right and left, making our flanks once more secure. At this time I was second in command of our company and I was recommended for a commission and also for a D. S. C. We had five more attacks during this battle but were unable to advance farther. The Huns were certainly determined to hold us there, but we held our own, repulsing several counter attacks. On the morning of Oct. 10th, after seven days of awful fighting, during which time the ground of that famous battlefield became strewn with dead bodies, the intermingling of life blood of Huns and Yanks. Again we avenged, a few at least, of the barbarous acts committed by those Huns. The division that relieved us being fresh and full fighting strength made one furious attack and succeeded in driving the enemy out of his strongpoint and over the hill into an open and level country. At this time the cavalry came into action and drove the retreating enemy back toward his border a distance of 30 kilometers in two days. The next day St. Quentin fell to the British. We had accomplished our purpose. The English advanced with his flanks secure. We had removed the menace from his flanks and the Huns were double defeated. After this I was sent to the I. C. S. at La Valbonne (Ain) (Aix?) France, and therefore was not present on the 11th of November when the armistice was signed, but my division was one of the eight American divisions to be on the firing line at the time when hostilities ceased. The Second Division is now one of the divisions of the army of occupation, but don't misconstrue the meaning of this letter. I do not mean to run down other divisions or to make mine better than others. It is as good as any and that is all that I can say. All Americans are good fighters for the cause of Liberty and Humanity and for old Glory, the emblem we all love dearly. Sgt. Willard L. Estes. 23rd U. S. Infantry, A. E.

"Sergeant Willard Estes, 28, of Manlius, who recently returned from overseas, enlisted in the Coast Artillery at the Syracuse recruiting station and left Thursday for Fort Banks, Mass. Estes was slightly wounded by a shell fragment at Soissons July 18, 1918, and was shot through the arm with a machine gun bullet in the Argonne, Oct. 6. When Estes left his company, which was a unit of the Twenty-Third Infantry, after being wounded in October only three men were still in service of the original outfit which left the training camp at the State Fair grounds in the fall of 1917. He had the remarkable good luck in going through four battles with his original company without a serious injury, being wounded on the sixth day of its fifth engagement. This was at Mt. Blanc in the Argonne. He was at Verdun from March to May, 1918, and from there went to Chateau-Thierry, where he was in the heavy fighting from May 30 to July 10. Hundreds of men in the Second Division were killed, wounded and gassed in this engagement. On July 18, the division went into line at Soissons and there he received a slight wound from a shell fragment which was not serious enough to necessitate his evacuation to a hospital. After three days there the unit went to St. Mihiel on Sept. 12 and was in Pershing's offensive for 48 hours. It was in the Argonne Oct. 1 to 10. Sergt. Estes likes the army or he wouldn't re-enlist, he said, but he was induced to try it again by a new ruling which says that any discharged non-commissioned officer who desires to re-enlist has the option of choosing his branch of the service.

Farnham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Farnham, writes the following letter to Manlius friends of on life in army: Newport, R. I., Aug. 4, 1917. Three months ago today, I was 'Sworn In' to the service of the United States at Fort Slocum. Since that time I have learned a great deal about humanity and army life. On May 2, I left Syracuse and started with twenty fellow volunteers for Ft. Slocum. The recruiting officer at Syracuse furnished each man with a ticket for Wehawken, and 21 cents for coffee. These few coppers were to furnish each person with three meals and in New York at that. We arrived at Wehawken at 5:45 a. m., and ferried to New York. As the boat, 'General Stanley' did not leave until 3 p. m. a half a dozen of us spent our spare moments wandering about the city. The ride from New York to Fort Slocum was extremely cold. At 6 p. m. we arrived at the Island, half frozen and equally as hungry. We were marched to the mess hall where we filled up with plenty of plain food. The food at Slocum was decidedly different than that which we were used to, and I might add far from as desirable. After mess, we were each requested to take a cold water bath, and it sure was cold. Then, in our quarters an expert pianist furnished us with plenty of rag and opera music. We were all up at 4 a.m. on the morning of the 4th and ready for what ever came our way; and we received our share before the day was over. First we were given a physical examination and then our teeth were examined. Those who passed the physical test, were then inoculated for typhoid fever also vaccinated. The doctors were none too gentle with their patients and worked very quickly. We were lined up and requested to remove all clothing to the waist line. One man painted a spot on the right arm with iodine and another cleansed the left. We kept moving and as we passed one of the doctors, 2,000,000 live typhoid germs were injected into the right arm, and the next one vaccinated the left arm. Some of the fellows fell unconscious from the effects of the 'knock' as it is commonly called. After this we were given tents to sleep in, drew blankets and our first clothing. Our clothing allotment consisted of one soldier's kit, which contained toothbrush, paste, razor, shoe brush, polish, and a 'house wife' or a small roll containing scissors, thread, pins, needles and buttons. We also drew 4 suits of light underwear, 6 pair of socks, two suits of khaki, one pair of leggins, two woolen shirts, a campaign hat, and one pair of shoes. As soon as we were sworn in, we were commanded to change clothing, which we did. Our old clothes, we could throw away, send home or sell, as we so desired. Some threw them aside, others sold $25 and $30 suits for $2. None brought over $3.50. I sent mine back to dear old Manlius. The boys from Syracuse were all split up and assigned to different companies. I was assigned to the 2nd Co. Coast Artillery. Each tent sheltered ten men, and the fellows in the tent with me were all fine chaps. After six days of rainy weather and nights which lacked sufficient heat to furnish one with a comfortable nights rest, the Coast Artillery Corps was assigned to Fort Totten, Long Island, 11 miles from New York. At noon, May 11, we arrived at Totten. We were greeted with a very fine meal, and the fellows were all frightened, not expecting to find such fine treatment. The officers at Slocum were very harsh and inconsiderable while at Totten, they were very friendly, kind, and agreeable. We were placed in tents and under quarantine for 20 days after our arrival. On May 31 we were mustered into the 2nd Co., regulars. Just my luck to be one of the very first to do guard duty. I was given a post nearly one-half mile long. It was long enough so that I covered it but three times in two hours. Each company at Fort Totten takes its turn at guard and there were six companies on duty, two being on special duty, such as dismounting of arms and doing work about the post. Eighteen men, three corporals and two sergeants are required for each guard. This number of men is divided into what is called 'reliefs.' There are three reliefs, each relief doing duty for two hours, and then a rest of four hours. On holidays and Sundays, the guard is extra long, being 30 instead of 24 hours. While on my post, at one time, I saw three hydroplanes, several motor launches, three ocean liners, a racing boat, a steam train, electric train and numerous sail boats. It was a very pretty scene. We were drilled very strenuously in infantry drill. Every soldier has to learn infantry drill, no matter to what branch he may belong. Our day's work started at 6 a.m., when first call for reveille was blown. At 7 we had mess; 8:30 drill until 11:15; mess again at 12 and 1:30 return to drill until 4:15. 5:00 was mess call again, and 5:45 first all for retreat, 6:00 assemblys for retreat. Then we had the evening for ourselves, which was generally spent playing ball. At 9 p.m. all lights and talking were cut out, and at 11:00 p.m. everyone was supposed to be in bed. June 1, we entered the barracks and we were pleased to leave the extremely uncomfortable tent cots. As soon as we entered the barracks, we began artillery drill. This was drill handling the 12-inch long mortar guns. These guns throw a shell of 1,045 pounds 13.7 of a mile. The firing is very severe on the ear drums. I was near the pit when two guns were fired at once and it was four hours later before I could again hear distinctly. Three of the so-called recruits were picked out and told to drill in the range tower - thanks to my high school education and especially in mathematics I was one of them. This came to good use in finding the range elevation, azimuth, and amount of powder used. It is a very responsible work and one little mistake in the tower may throw the whole pit, or where the guns are fired off and the shell is bound to miss the target. It was but a short time before I was told to learn to operate what is called the elevation box but commonly called the 'mystery box' because nearly everyone who has anything to do with it gets set back to the pits where the dirty and heavy work is doe. The range tower boys are nicknamed the 'khaki boys' by those who are in the pits because they do not have to wear the overalls. The boys in the tower have become efficient enough so that they can find the range. It was my duty to find the elevation, the amount of power and the speed and this could be done in as low as three seconds. The pits are very fast, also, the boys being able to sponge the cannon, after lowering it to a horizontal position, load powder in behind the projectile, close and lock the breach, insert the priming powder, elevate the gun, set the range scale and fire in as quick as 17 seconds. Each of the 11 men on a gun has his own duty to execute and believe me, there is no loafing. Fifteen days ago we left Totten headed for France. I was on pass that evening and was in New York city. When I returned at midnight, my possessions were gone, and the whole company was at work. By 9:30 a.m., the following day, we had loaded the boat and left the rest of the boys, and a group of weeping wives at the dock. At noon, we arrived at New York and here we boarded the train and left for Newport R.I. There were twelve cars filled with boys in olive drab who made the trip. Fort Adams is not nearly as pretty or pleasant as Fort Totten and Newport lacks a lot of coming up to New York. At the present time, all soldiers here are on restriction because of diphtheria in Newport, a town one mile away by water and three miles by land. We have been waiting patiently to leave for the front for the last two weeks, but no one seems to know when we are to go. At present, the large battleship is floating in the harbor, and there must be a reason for its appearance. There are about 7,000 men here now, some from nearly every state in the Union. A train load from California arrived nearly two weeks ago. When we arrive at France, we are to man three ten-inch rifles, mounted on huge steel flat cars. These cars are to be as small moveable forts and are to protect the coast of France. I was very lucky to be one of those who were assigned to the Railroad Coast Artillery. Very sincerely yours, Willis C. Farnham. Battery 'G;' 7th Regt. C. A. Brigade, American Expeditionary Forces," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 8/10/1917. "Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C.

"With the Regulars in France, March 1, 1918. Dearest Parents: Did March come in like a lion back in the States? The principal reason for my inquiry is that today, the first few flakes of snow have fallen since last of December. That may sound rather peculiar to you but the climate is one of the beauties of this battle crushed country. Until the past week, it has been warm enough so that we opened the doors and windows of our barracks and left the fires out nearly every day. It has rained but seldom and though no dust filled the air, still the weather condition and the climate reminds me of April weather in Central New York. And now that we had about decided that all of the winter had gone and left us to face the 'Spring Activities,' which are held every year in this country, down comes more snow--something seldom seen here. Do not get the impression by that statement that I am in Southern France. Not so! I'm sorry I cannot explain just where I am located, but I will say, that I can hear the big guns, not far from Verdun, sending forth their death carrying missiles. When I came to this camp last September, I passed through the Cemetery of Marne. It was quite a sight to see hundreds of graves bearing the French flag, and nearly as many with merely a cross at the head. Each one of these graves contain from 6 to 20 bodies. Those without a flag decoration were Boches. According to newspaper reports and those almost sacred things called letters, the people back home are depriving themselves of many luxuries and yes, I guess many necessities. But thank your heavenly stars that you do not suffer as the French. It is very seldom that we see an able-bodied Frenchman in civilian dress. The women and even young girls in their teens man the garbage carts, tend all railroad crossings, work in the fields as any man would, and even tend public stations in cities. Think if it! What would our friends and relatives think if they had such disagreeable work to do? I'm not sure the American woman would do as much for the United States--at this time. Of course after they were forced to undergo a few war time hardships perhaps they would do as nobly. I pray they never see that day. So some of the fellows do not find the comforts of home, in this man's war you say. Well, what do they expect? Really, I don't believe that some of the young men in the states realize that this war means so much to them. Of course there are many who are, to use the well-known slang phrase, 'yellow,' but I can't see where there is any manhood if a person will hold back and shirk from fighting for and protecting his country, his parents and his friends. If it is because of the hardships which they undergo in the service, that has caused them to hide. I fear they have been misinformed. For example, I will write of my treatment since taking the oath of allegiance, May 4, 1917 at Fort Slocum. First at Fort Totten, Long Island. There we had excellent food, quarters, amusements and accommodations. We were given passes from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. whenever we asked for them and week-end passes from 1 p.m. Saturday until 8 a.m. Monday. We had movies three times a week and all the accommodations of the Y.M.C.A. At Fort Adams, R.I. There we were allowed out every night until 11:30 p.m. and for those who did not care to go to Newport, Providence or Fall River, the Y.M.C.A. had movies three times a week, free admission, and some kind of vaudeville entertainment on three of the remaining four nights. Here also, our feed was fine and though we slept on cots in tents, why still we were as happy a bunch as ever gathered. In France. Here, we have barracks to sleep in, as good food as while in the states though not served as classy, and all kinds of amusements by the Y.M.C.A. Some people may scorn the Y.M.C.A., but let me tell you, they are doing a great deal for the soldiers and you're not wasting a cent you may donate to the 'Y'. We have movies three nights a week--Vitagraph Films--and the Y has furnished the boys with musical instruments so that my friend Bondy the violinist, of whom I have often written before, has organized an orchestra which will rival that at the Empire. No, for my part, I'm being treated much better than I anticipated last May. I am among a Regiment of Old Timers. Many of them served in the Spanish American and still more in the Philippines. For all our being recruits, we have no difficulty with our comrades and get along fine. They treat us the same as if we had been with them since '98. I am contented here, even though I miss my friends and my comfortable home. I have gained weight since I joined the army and never felt better in my life. I really enjoy this life, and if I did not desire a more complete education, I would stay with it for some time to come. Your son, Willis C. Farnham. Battery G, 52nd Art., C. A. C., Am.," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 4/12/1918. "Willis Farnham, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Farnham, has been promoted to First Class Sergeant Quartermasters' Department, U. S. A., and is now stationed at Troy, France, 12 miles from Paris," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/6/1918. Name appears as a blue star on the Manlius service flag," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/11/1918. "Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Farnham of Washington street, are daily expecting the arrival of their son, Willis, who has been stationed in France for some time, and who is slated for an early return," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 12/27/1918. "Supply Sergeant, Willis Farnham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Farnham of Washington street, has sent from France a German officer's helmet, with the wearer's name attached; two vases and a cigar holder, which are on display in the window of J. Donohue's barber shop. Sergeant Farnham has been assigned to the U. S. army of occupation in Germany," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 2/7/1919. "Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Farnham of Manlius last week received the following letter from their son, Sergeant Willis C. Farnham, who is with the Coast Artillery in France: Mailly C. Camp, France. Since Wednesday, when I last wrote to you, I have seen a little bit of what was once the battlefield. Last Friday, three other Sergeants and myself, enjoyed the use of a Dodge Sedan and its chauffeur from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. We left here at 7:30, or at least about then and drove to Chalons which is only 21 miles from here, getting there before 9:00. From there we went to Reims. The ride was very interesting between Chalons and Reims, because it still shows the stubborn resistance offered the Boche by the Poilus (French). The ground is just filled with trenches and barb wire entanglements. Hundreds of trees are broken off as the result of being hit, and we passed through many towns where not a building still stood. One cannot imagine the sight nor picture it to himself until he has really seen it. Dead horses are still along the roads. And Reims! In that whole city, which, before the war was about the size of Utica, I failed to find a building that wasn't ruined. We took several pictures of the Cathedral, and went to the Mayor of the city, obtained a pass and was shown through the great cathedral. The janitor who, by the way, never left the building during the entire bombardment, but lived in the cellar, could speak a very little English, and he explained as best he could, while our little knowledge of French helped out once in a while. Most of the altars of the Kings and Bishops have been removed to Paris, and the famous 'Rose Window' is safely stored in Paris. However, the building is a terrible wreck. He said that 280 shells hit it in one day. When you first see it, it appears to be rather small but when you get in it, you see that the pillars alone are about 6 feet in diameter. The French substituted a painting for the famous Rose window, on paper, and the Boche, only two kilometers away, fired at it until they supposed it ruined, not knowing it was a paper target. The cathedral was started in 1211 and finished in 1429. I have a couple of pieces of glass, which was part of a window, put in 1227. From Reims we went to Fismes, where the Americans had their hard scrap. Then to Soissons and Chateau-Thierry. Both of these battle scarred towns were beauties before the Boche spoiled them. From Chateau-Thierry we went to Belleau Woods, which is the place where the American Marines and the 7th Infantry had such a hard time. Here (these woods are but a short distance from Chateau-Thierry) we found hundreds of American graves, and although the battle took place in July still, German bodies are yet to be buried. We saw a boot sticking out of the ground, so one of the fellows kicked it. It was solid, and by using a stick, we soon found it was part of a decayed German's equipment. Just a couple of inches of dirt covered the body. It's no place for a weak hearted woman who is subject to drams, believe me. We drove back to Sezanne, and ate with French Majors at the best hotel in the city. Yesterday it was such a fine day, that five of us went for a walk and held a little pistol practice. I'm not an expert, but if a Boche ever got within range of my 'gat' it wouldn't be safe for him to remain there very long--in warm times. After smashing a few bottles and puncturing a few signs we went on to a little town where, with the aid of Eric Jacobsen's knowledge of French, (Eric is a pal of mine and Sgt. lst Class) we purchased two dozen eggs for $1.83, very cheap for here at this time of the year. The five of us came back to 'Jokes' shack and after visiting the American bakery, which is here, we had 24 eggs for 5 of us, and a dozen real rolls, a dozen real doughnuts, and coffee. I had to get cooking material from the Y. M. C. A. and also had to cook the eggs. Joe Creed, one of my best friends said that the only reason he didn't recommend me as cook for the company was because I drew more than a cook does already (cook $44.00). Gee but maybe those eggs didn't taste good! Sergeant 1st Class Willis C. Farnham, Railway Artillery Supply Depot, Finance Branch, A. P.

Like all the other boys he says he still has a cold. He has been transferred to the 107th Regiment, sometimes called the Millionaires' Regiment because of the large number of rich New Yorkers in it. The mud is so deep he says the jitneys are unable to run between the camp and Spartanburg and the boys have to work to town.

While he is recovering from these wounds, he was taken ill with influenza. He speaks highly of the care and nursing which our boys receive over there, and says that anyone who is working for the Red Cross, either in America, England or France is sure doing their bit. Soon after his removal to this hospital he was told that he was to have a visitor from Manlius, and was much surprised and delighted to find his caller to be his former friend and pastor, Rev. Charles R. Vickery, who is stationed about ten miles from Dratford. This was the first Manlius man Private Goodfellow had seen since his arrival over there," The Manlius Eagle, 11/21/1918.

The 105th Ambulance Company of the 102d Sanitary Train saw much service, even though it did not get right behind the big guns. It stayed at Brest most of the time, loading wounded soldiers onto transports...From Brest the company went to Rosel and was there just five days within sound of the guns when the kaiser quit. Then the men went to a rest camp at Corbie. The town had been all 'shot up.' No civilians were left in it, and the place which had a population of perhaps 30,000 was as vacant as a garret. The ambulance company and the other men sent there had it all to themselves. The 102 Ammunition Train, after training all summer near Bordeaux was sent to the front September 1. They got into battle about four miles from Verdun and kept the guns supplied until the armistice was signed. They ploughed over all kinds of roads day and night. They were in the St. Mihiel drive and in the great battle of Dun-Sur-Meuse on Nov. 1-3.

Hale, Frank Lucien. Fayetteville. Foreman bds, R2, Rural Directory of Onondaga Co., 1917. "Private, F. Lucian Hale of the Fourth New York Ambulance Company, has gone to Hammondsport, where he will take up aviation preparatory to taking the examinations for a commission in Uncle Sam's Flying Corps. Mr. Hale, best known to his wide circle of friends as 'Buddy,' had his first taste of the life as a birdman while on the Mexican Border with the ambulance company. Making the trip to San Antonio at the time of the First New York Cavalry-Third Texas Infantry football game, he was extended an invitation by an aviator to accompany him on a flight. Mr. Hale accepted, and since has been an enthusiastic booster of the aerial corps. He had at first planned to take the examination for a commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps, but later determined that he preferred being a real soldier to a reservist. Mr. Hale is in the employ of the Solvay Process Company," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 4/20/1917. "Anxious to get to the front, F. Lucien Hale, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Hale, couldn't wait until the United State Aviation Corps could be ordered to France, he went to Toronto Thursday and enlisted as a cadet in the Royal Flying Corps. Young Hale had been in the New York National Guard for nearly four years and was on the Texas border eight months. While there he was detailed as chauffeur for the officers at headquarters. At San Antonio, Tex., he made a trip with Miss Katherine Stinson in her flying machine and as a result of that trip he decided to enter the United States service as an aviator. He said he would much prefer to be in the United States service, but as the states are now allied with the British it is all for the same cause. He will be in training at the University of Toronto and at the aviation training camp until August, when he will sail for England. After graduating from the Fayetteville high school Mr. Hale joined Troop D, First Cavalry, and was detailed to the medical branch. When the Fourth Ambulance Corps was organized he was transferred and went with it to Texas. He has become a British subject by reason of the fact that he has joined the Royal Flying Corps, "The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/29/1917. "Mrs. Frank H. Hale and son, Theodore, have returned from a brief visit with Lucien Hale at Camp Borden, Ontario," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/7/1917. "F. Lucien Hale, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Hale, who enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps at Toronto late in June, has been signally honored in having been selected from 200 cadets in the corps as the one best qualified to give an exhibition of aerial stunts before the Duke of Devonshire. Hale performed so satisfactorily that, after the exhibition, the Duke requested that the young man be brought to him, shook hands, congratulated him on his performance and introduced him to members of his staff. A report received Tuesday from Camp Borden, where the flight was made, states that Hale set a record it will be difficult for any of the cadets to excel. After ascending to an altitude of 4,500 feet he executed eight successive loops, two 'stalls and tail slides,' and 'vertical banks.' Hale has so far perfected himself in ordinary flying and transmission of wireless from aeroplanes that this week he has been transferred to the aerial gunnery class. As soon as he becomes proficient at this phase of modern warfare he will be officially pronounced fit for active service and will be granted a ten days' furlough, when he will visit his home at Fayetteville. He is expected in about a month," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/7/1917. "Lt.

"The following unique letter was written by Lieutenant Lucien Hale of Fayetteville while instructing a cadet in handling a machine in the air near Fort Worth, Texas: In the air around Camp Everyman, Friday P. M. Dear Ones: I thought it would be quite romantic to write you all a letter from the air. I just signaled to the cadet in front to take control of the machine. He is a new man so I have to watch him a bit. This is a wonderful day, we are only a thousand feet high now but it is so clear that I can see Dallas very plain, about forty-five miles from here. We are now going over the outskirts of Fort Worth. Have climbed another 1000 ft. and the aneroid reads 2000 ft. now. It is quite bumpy and the cadet is having a terrible time trying to keep the machine right side up and straight. I have to grab it every little while and straighten it for him. The country looks like a great map from here, absolutely flat. I haven't any helmet on and I can hardly hear myself think on account of the engine. Another machine is coming straight for us about 2 miles away. I don't suppose the cadet sees it so guess I'll have to turn for him. Going over the village of Joshana now, it sure looks very small. We are at 4,500 ft. We are following a railroad and just passed a train which looked about an inch long. The cadet is getting fairly good now so I guess I will go down and practice landings with him. Will write you again sometime. Love to all, Lucien," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 12/27/1917. Lieutenant, Royal Flying Corps (as of 1/4/1918). "Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Hale received news Wednesday that their son, Lieut. F. Lucien Hale, instructor in the Royal Flying Corps at Camp Everyman, Tex., was injured when the engine of his airplane went dead and his machine crashed to the ground. Lieut. Hale was testing a new machine, as is his custom before allowing members of his class to use it, when at a height of only two or three hundred feet the engine refused to work and he was obliged to volplane to the ground. The distance was so short that he had no chance to make the usual safe spiral descent and, but for the fact that the machine struck a telegraph wire which broke its downward momentum young Hale would probably been fatally injured. As it was, the letter states that he was badly cut on the face and hands and otherwise bruised. The airplane, a $6,000 machine, was totally wrecked. Lieut. Hale is conceded a daring but careful aviator and he has previously had narrow escapes," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 2/1/1918. "Lieutenant F. Lucian Hale, instructor in the Royal Flying Corps at Camp Everyman, Tex., is home on a two-weeks' furlough upon the expiration of which he will sail for France with the other members of the corps who have been training in Texas," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 3/15/1918. "Lieut. Lucien Hale of the Royal Flying Corps sailed the first of the week for 'over there,' " The Fayetteville Bulletin, 4/5/1918. "Because he brought down three German airplanes in a single-handed encounter with several enemy aircraft, during which his machine was riddled and nearly incapacitated by Hun bullets, Lieut. Lucien F. Hale of Fayetteville of the British Royal Air Service, has been recommended for the distinguished flying cross. In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Hale, Lieutenant Hale described the aerial conflict parts of which follow: Friday afternoon I was patrolling up and down the line alone at 1,000 feet. As I turned and flew north I observed a formation of our bombing machines coming from the west. I also saw a formation of Hun machines above them. Just before the bombers crossed the lines the Huns attacked them. The bombers seemed to be getting the worst of it, so, like the brave man that I am not, I opened my throttle and went to their assistance. I picked out one Hun and attacked him and shot him down. His machine broke to bits in the air. Just then I heard the rat-tat-tat of a machine gun and saw the tracer bullets flying by me. I instantly pulled my machine up into a climbing turn and did a half roll and came down on the fellow who just before that had been shooting at me. I held my fire until I nearly rammed him and then let him have a burst from both of my guns. He turned over a couple of times, then went down in flames. Again I heard machine guns in back of me. I looked back and I guess all of the eight remaining Huns were on my trail shooting at me. I knew it would be folly for me to try to fight the whole bunch, so down I went in a spin into the clouds which were three or four thousand feet below me and about the same distance from the ground. There was a strong west wind blowing and I knew that I must have drifted back over the Hun lines quite a distance. When I got down into the clouds I pulled out of the spin and found myself going due east by my compass. I didn't have any idea where I was by that time, so I went down under the clouds to see. As it happened I came out directly over Cambria, which at that time was five or six miles back of the Hun lines. I immediately turned and started west again. Again I heard a machine gun, and turning, I saw a Hun below and behind me. Evidently he had followed me down, knowing that I would have to come out of the clouds to get my bearings. I turned and dived at him with both guns firing. Missed him, so zoomed up and half rolled and dived at him again. This time I got him cold at point blank range and let him have it. He went down like a brick and burst into flames when he crashed. That was three Huns to my credit in one fight and since then all of them have been confirmed. But my troubles were not yet over. The minute the Hun Archie batteries saw their machine go down, they started shooting everything imaginable from the ground at me. So up I went into the clouds and they just filled the clouds with Archies. I could hear the 'Boof-Wang' as it burst all around me. However, I tried to keep my machine going straight west, but couldn't manage it very well and the first thing I knew my compass was again pointing due east. So down I went again where I was and to my utter despair found myself still over Cambria, and again Archie started at me. Well I did that three times and each time I came down I found myself over Cambria. The Archies and flaming onions were getting uncomfortably close by this time and also my engine started missing and spitting at a great rate. So down I went and started contour chasing back to our line making a target for every machine gun for miles around. Three or four times I suddenly came upon a bunch of Huns in a group. Down I'd go on them with both guns. I did that all the way back--that is, until my ammunition was exhausted. Finally, after what I thought were hours (in fact they were minutes), I crossed our lines and managed to stagger safely back to the airdome. You should have seen my machine. The main spars of three wings were shot through; three holes in my radiator caused the water to run out and engine to heat up and run irregularly. My control wires were shot through so that they were held by one strand of the cable wire. However, with a new engine, three new wings, control wires replaced and various other things repaired, my machine is ready for the next show. The best part of the whole affair is: the bombers whom I assisted came back and made a report of the whole affair and said that I had actually saved their formation, because the minute I appeared on the scene all the Huns left the bombers and came at me. I put in my report and later the bombers' report came in confirming mine. The C. O. saw it and the general heard about it and recommended me for a D. F. C. (Distinguished Flying Cross). Don't know whether I'll get it or not, but can you imagine me going up to Buckingham Palace and having the king pin this medal on my breast. I have been out here just six weeks and I now have eleven Huns to my credit," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/25/1918. "The memorial service last Sunday was largely attended. Two gold stars were placed on the service flag. The blue star represents Lieut. Lucian F. Hale of the Royal Flying Corps, The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/8/1918. "Lieut. Lucian Hale writes his parents from France that he is hoping to be home by January 1 but is not certain when he can leave. He was given a three-weeks' rest period just before the big drive and it is not believed that he participated in it. At last reports he had twelve Hun planes to his credit," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 12/6/1918. "Under date of Nov. 17 Lieutenant Lucien Hale writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Hale, that he has been released from duty and is now touring the devastated portion of France in his airplane with which he has won so many victories. He has the word Syracuse painted on the side of the machine. He believes that there is a great future for aviation and has made application for a captaincy in the Royal Flying Corps. In case his application is granted he expects to remain in France for several months at least," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 12/13/1918. "Lieut. Lucien Hale, Fayetteville aviator and member of the British Royal Flying Corps, whose deeds of valor abroad have contributed much to the history of American fliers who cast their lot with the allied nations, may continue duty in Russia, Egypt or Germany. In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hale, under date of Jan. 5, he says: 'I have a hunch that I will be leaving France very soon. They may let me go home and again they may send me to Germany, Russia or Egypt. If I have to go anywhere besides home I hope they send me to Egypt, where it is warm. If I go down there, it will be for the purpose of flying Handley-Paige machines with mail, etc., all over Egypt and India. I would like to spend a month or two in all these places. I think I'll try to wangle it some way. I'll probably have to fly four or five more machines in England before I leave for good. It is great fun. When I get a particularly good machine, I go over the channel low down and frolic about all the steamers,' " The Fayetteville Bulletin, 2/14/1919. "According to records just made public by a member of the Royal Flying Corps who has just returned to this country Lieut. Lucien Hale of this village broke the record for accuracy in firing 500 rounds of ammunition while putting his plane through battle stunts at the Central Flying School in England where he was an instructor in flying. Lieutenant Hale wrote his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Hale of the record he had made last September but asked them not to make it public owing to the rules of the Corps regarding secrecy," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 3/7/1919. "On account of the illness of his mother, Lieut. F. Lucien Hale of the Royal Flying Corps, has applied for his discharge from the British Army and is expected to reach his home in Fayetteville in a few weeks. Lieut. Hale is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Hale, and served on the Mexican border as a private in the Fourth Ambulance Corps. He has about 12 German planes to his credit and is perhaps one of the best American airmen with the British forces. He was at Cologne, Germany, ready to start with his squadron for India when the news of his mother's illness reached him, "The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/27/1919. "Private funeral services for Mrs. Frank H. Hale, prominent charity worker of Onondaga county were held Wednesday afternoon at her late home "The Maples," just west of the village...Two cablegrams have been dispatched to Lieutenant Hale, who is now in England. They were sent while Mrs. Hale was in a serious condition. A third was sent Monday and it is expected will bring Lieutenant Hale to this country. A cablegram was received from England July 4th in which Lieutenant Hale said that he expected to arrive home in August," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 7/18/1919. "Captain F. Lucien Hale, who won signal honors with the Royal Flying Corps of the British army overseas, arrived home Wednesday night after having been released from service Tuesday at Montreal. Captain Hale arrived at Montreal Tuesday on the Megantic and was met by his father, Frank H. Hale, his brother Theodore, his sister, Mrs. George G. Gregory and Mr. Gregory and motored with them Wednesday to Fayetteville. During his visit to the United States the Prince of Wales will officially present the Distinguished Flying Cross to Capt. Hale, who is one of several Americans to be so honored by royalty in his native land. Two years ago Captain Hale entered the British service, after first being rejected for the American aviation service. He trained at the Toronto and Deseronto fields in Canada, served as an instructor in Texas and then went overseas. Further training in England was followed by battle front duty, and when he stepped from his plane for the last time after service on the western front and in Germany he had credit of flying 1,200 hours. There were several high lights in Captain Hale's career which won him the prized decoration and rank of captain when he was released from service, although today is the official date of his discharge. He claimed fifteen German machines and was officially credited with twelve. He broke all records for accuracy in aerial gunnery, diving down and shooting at a ground target, the silhouette of an airplane, while in the Central Flying School in England. This record with the machine gun was 187 bullseyes in 1,000 shots. He received credit of bringing down three German planes in one day in action near Cambria, in the big drive in which tanks first appeared. He was shot down six times out of control, and yet managed to make a safe landing, being called by his comrades as the bearer of a charmed life. 'I'm a fatalist' said Captain Hale yesterday, and I guess that helped me in a pinch. The most narrow escape I ever had in my flying career was when two flying wires were shot off. That was at the height of 18,000 feet and a Hun swooped down out of the sun and got me before I saw him. I fell 15,000 feet in a spin before I got the machine under control. They thought I was a goner and did not follow me down or they would have got me easily as my machine limped slowly over the lines. The other times I was shot down I was just as lucky.' American aggressiveness has not left pleasant feelings behind in England, Captain Hale said in commenting on Anglo-American relations. The British, he said, seem equally divided on the question of the league of nations. Captain Hale did all his fighting in the same machine, the one with 'Syracuse' painted on it. When he brought it to England for the last time it crashed. The aviator said it would have been junked, as hardly an original part was left. In one battle nearly all the instruments were shot away and it was a miracle he was not hit, as many bullets struck within a few feet of him," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 9/26/1919. Name appears as a returning soldier/sailor, The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/3/1919. "The Men's Club of Trinity church was entertained at Mr. Frank H. Hale's home on last Tuesday evening, with an account by Lucien Hale late Captain in the English flying service, of his thrilling experiences and career as an aviator. Captain Hale illustrated his anecdotes with a large collection of souvenirs, trophies and photographs," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/24/1919. "The Prince of Wales will pay a signal honor to a Fayetteville boy Saturday when he will pin a Distinguished Flying Cross on the breast of Captain Lucien Hale. The ceremony will take place on the H. M. S. Renown as it lays at anchor in the North River. Captain Hale won the cross as a lieutenant in the Royal Flying corps, when he protected a bombing squad from German air attack and without assistance crippled and sent to the ground three of the German machines. He was forced to land in his machine and made the ground 300 yards within his own lines. Although Captain Hale already has the cross in his possession, he has been summoned to present himself on the ship at 9 a.m. Saturday so the Prince can pin it on him. The notification came in the form of a letter from Capt. D. S. Wallace of the general staff for the British army. Captain Hale is directed to appear at the investiture unaccompanied and to wear uniform if it is still in his possession. However, it is said that military dress is optional. He is directed to arrive at the 83d street landing, North river, just off Riverside drive, at 8 a.m. Saturday and there he will meet an officer of the British military attaché's staff. Enclosed in the letter was an identification card. Captain Hale entered the service and received instructions at Toronto, Canada, in June, 1917. Later he went to the Canadian flying field at Fort Worth, Texas, where he acted as instructor for several months. One hundred cadets graduated under him. At Fort Worth, Captain Hale had the reputation of being one of the greatest flyers who was stationed there. He was sent to France in April, 1918, and during his service there officially had twelve German planes to his credit. He returned to this country with an honorable discharge in September of this year," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/21/1919. "Capt. F. Lucien Hale, who is to be decorated in New York this week by the Prince of Wales for his daring exploits in the war as a member of the British Flying Corps, is to be New York agent for the Curtiss Airplane Corporation. He will demonstrate and sell planes in this territory for the company, and will be assisted by a number of fliers he is to recruit. As a part of the proposed plans he will establish a school for flying at Fayetteville, where aviators for pleasure and commercial planes will be trained. At the same time Onondaga lake is to be used for the development of flying boats," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/21/1919. Buried Fayetteville Cemetery, 1895-6/7/1944, ae. 48-10-1.

Horton, a flight commander of the British air service and formerly of New York city, was officially reported missing yesterday through a letter sent by Major H. MacD. O'Malley, commanding the 98th Air Squadron of the British forces in France. Major O'Malley stated that Captain Horton, encountering enemy planes, was observed to fall behind the German lines, but that nothing definite had been learned concerning his fate. Captain Horton got his training in Canada, and was soon promoted from the rank of Second Lieutenant to a Captaincy for his gallantry. In a recent letter to friends he wrote: 'Three of us were attacked by eighteen enemy triplanes and three Albatross scouts, and when the twenty-one dived at us we couldn't run even had we wished to. So we turned and fought them. We brought down two Huns in flames, and all got back safely. One of the observers, however, was shot through the foot and our planes were simply riddled with holes. The entire 98th Air Squadron, of which Captain Horton was a member, was cited on April 18th for bravery.

Joyce, Rev. Francis. "Rev. Francis P. Joyce a former Fayetteville boy, now chaplain of the Seventh Field Artillery, United States army, is now a member of the staff of Major-General John F. Pershing, commander of the American expeditionary forces in France. In a brief letter just received by his sister, Mrs. William M. Oley of Jamesville, Chaplain Joyce makes a modest announcement of the new distinction that is to be added to the many others that have come to him since he entered the army thirteen years ago. He took up his new duties at the headquarters of the commanding general in France October 1. As chaplain of the Seventh Field Artillery Father Joyce who is well known in Fayetteville, where he was born and received his early education, was stationed on the Mexican border while the trouble between that country and the United States was at its most acute stages and accompanied General Pershing's punitive expedition on the trail of Villa. He received his appointment as chaplain from president Roosevelt and was attached to the Tenth Cavalry. Just prior to his last service at the border with the Seventh Field Artillery he was detailed to duty at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. When Huerta the deposed dictator of Mexico was on his death bed at El Paso, where he had been arrested by the United States authorities on a charge of conspiracy, he summoned Father Joyce, who was with his regiment in the border city. The American army chaplain gave religious consolation to the aged Mexican fighter and administered the last rites of the dying soldier. Father Joyce was educated in the public schools of Fayetteville and Syracuse. He attended Ottawa University, St. Charles College in Maryland and finally St. Bernard's Seminary, Rochester. There he was ordained by the late Bishop Bernard J. McQuaid. Father Joyce was with the American troops in the Philippines before he was assigned to Fort Leavenworth, "The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/16/1917.

Name appears on the Church of the Immaculate Conception service flag, The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/7/1918. "According to a letter received Monday from Leonard Kantak, it is likely that he and Frank Battle, who are both Manlius boys, are just now watching for periscopes. The letter follows: An Atlantic Port, May 29, Dear Editor: Having a few moments to spare I thought I would let you and the people of Manlius know that Frank Battle and I are still on this side of the big pond. In the best of health, and enjoying the life in the army very much, even if we do have to work rather hard at times, but that is to be expected and we have no kick coming. We left Camp Wadsworth, May 18, and arrived here the following afternoon. We do not expect to stay here for a very long while, for this is a port of embarkation. The troops are kept here only until they have all of their equipment, and then shipped overseas. We have been issued every thing that is necessary, so no doubt by the time that you get this letter we will be on our way, thank goodness, for we have been in the service a long time and as yet, we have not seen a thing that looks like a German, with the exception of myself. This is a dandy camp where we have all the necessities of life at hand, whereas at Wadsworth, it was a case of getting along as best we could, for as you know, we are living in tents all of the time, so we appreciate the barracks that we have got to live in now. Everything is kept as clean as possible, all through the camp, but when we came here it was in terrible condition, for the troops that left it certainly left all of their rubbish in heaps, so it was a case of we fellows cleaning it up. I am attached to Headquarters, and have got charge of the Commissary Department, for the Motor section of the Ammunition Train. I have to see to it that all of the companies are kept in supplies, such as food, ice, coal, etc. Of course it gets rather tiresome at times, but then it is a case of putting up with it for the time being. The job pays $44 per month and 'found' so that is not so bad as it might be. Sincerely, Supply Sergeant Leonard Kantak," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 6/7/1918. "In a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kantak, Sergeant Leonard Kantak says that what he needs most 'over there' is the Manlius Eagle and chocolate bars. 'Even if it is old when I get it, it's going to look darn good to me, so try to send it every week,' he writes of the paper. 'We can't buy chocolate here,' is about the only complaint he makes of the country aside from the flies. 'I can't see what in the world the Germans keep on fighting for, since they do not stand the least bit of a show now.' 'The Yanks sure are ripping them up the back,' his letter continues. 'If you only knew the number of men that are being landed in France every week you would be awfully surprised. The general opinion over here is that the war will be over in three months.' Sergeant Kantak sailed for France more than two months ago, and his parents had not heard from him until Monday, when all in a bunch came three letters. 'This is an awfully quaint place,' he writes, 'everything is so old fashioned, especially the way people dress, just like one sees in pictures. 'Yesterday when we sat down in a cafe a chicken came in and began to get its own dinner from the crumbs on the floor. It certainly looked funny. 'But if all France is like the country around here I don't blame the people for fighting for it,' and he pays a compliment to Pompey by asserting that the country around their camp is 'very like Pompey, only far more pretty, and instead of having fences around every lot they have hedges.' He regrets that it is becoming necessary to use the hedges for fuel, 'which is becoming very scarce.' He wrote of the noise made by the big guns they have in camp. 'France is a dandy country, but I shan't be sorry when the war is over and we are all coming back. For, while I'm enjoying myself, give me the U. S. A. There if a fellow wants to go out for a little time he can do so without walking five miles to get there,' one of his letters stated," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 8/9/1918. "France, July 26, 1918. Dear Mr. Bennett: Having a few moments to spare I thought I would drop you a few lines. We have been here just about a month. We left the States about the middle of June and had one dandy trip all the way over, with the exception of the last couple of days, and then, it was quite rough. It took quite a while to come over, for a couple of the ships in the convoy were not very fast, so the rest of us had to slow down in order that we would not lose them, but none of the boys seemed to mind the least. The gun crew of our ship got one sub the first day out. The boys sure did do some yelling when one well-placed shot hit it. That was the only excitement we had all the way over with the exception of getting a little seasick, and believe me that is exciting, for I went through it, and so am a pretty good judge. We landed in one of the most beautiful harbors in France and it certainly was a wonderful sight when we were about three miles from shore. It was impossible for the ship to land at the dock, for the water is too shallow for very large boats to enter, so we had to transfer to small lighters, and dock that way. It seemed good to set foot on land again, for we were on board ship just two weeks, so you can just about imagine how good it seemed to have some real honest to goodness dirt under your feet. After docking, we had to walk four miles to a rest camp where we stayed for four days. All we did there was just hike around; for it was tiresome on board ship for such a long time. That camp and surrounding country was the most beautiful I have ever seen. It was simply wonderful. I am sorry that I do not possess the ability to describe it, for it is beyond me. The people used us fine, but one thing they know how to do and that is to charge the price for anything. They have got it over stores in Manlius like a tent. After four days of complete rest, we left for this camp by tram cars, but it was one awful ride for if we did go fast, the cars were so light that they certainly would have left the tracks. It took us about thirty six hours to make the trip, and it was the longest I have ever put in, in all my life. We were in luck for we rode in regular passenger cars while most of the boys were in freights. It was one grand and glorious ride all the way down. I will never complain about the Syracuse & Suburban again for Suburban cars are Pullmans compared with the roads in this part of the world. We alighted from the train about 8 p.m., four long and dreary miles from camp. Gee I thought I would never make it, for I was as tired before starting out and then having to walk that distance with a heavy pack, oh boy, some life, I'll say so. We arrived at our barracks about 10 p. m. so we made up our bunks and rolled in for the night. We were rather surprised (pleasantly too) to find barracks for we were under the impression that we would have to sleep in tents again. This camp is not situated badly at all, for we are in walking distance of several small towns, so we get around quite a bit. These small towns are all right, but they are so dawgone dead. Gee, it is impossible to have any kind of a time in one of them. Give me the U. S. A. every time. Enough for this time, but will write again soon, and for goodness sake, if you know anyone who wants to write tell them to do so for letters are a life saver for us fellows over here and a letter is worth its weight in gold. Give my regards to the folks. Supply Sergt., Leonard Kantak, Hdqts. M. B. 102nd Ammunition Train Amex Force, Via N. Y.," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 8/23/1918. Name appears as a blue star on the Manlius service flag," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 10/11/1918. "Private Wilbur Mason writes Fayetteville friends from Viserny, France that things do not look very encouraging for his early return. A few days before the letter was written he says he saw Sergeant Chester W. Madison, Sergeant Leonard Kantak and Corporal Frank Battle while they were on their way to port of embarkation for their homeward trip," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 1/31/1919. "A number of Manlius soldiers arrived in New York this week from overseas with the 27th Division. These include Captain Reginald Ballantyne of the 105th Ambulance company, Q. M. Sergeant Leonard Kantak and Corporal Frank Battle of the 102d Ammunition Train and Private Coburn Goodfellow of Company C. The men are all now at Camp Merritt and will come home after the big parade of the 27th Division in New York on March 22. The 105th Ambulance Company of the 102d Sanitary Train saw much service, even though it did not get right behind the big guns. It stayed at Brest most of the time, loading wounded soldiers onto transports...From Brest the company went to Rosel and was there just five days within sound of the guns when the kaiser quit. Then the men went to a rest camp at Corbie. The town had been all 'shot up.' No civilians were left in it, and the place which had a population of perhaps 30,000 was as vacant as a garret. The ambulance company and the other men sent there had it all to themselves. The 102 ammunition Train, after training all summer near Bordeaux was sent to the front September 1. They got into battle about four miles from Verdun and kept the guns supplied until the armistice was signed. They ploughed over all kinds of roads day and night. They were in the St. Mihiel drive and in the great battle of Dun-Sur-Meuse on Nov. 1-3. The Ammunition Train was in many of the hottest campaigns, but the nearest it came to a casualty was when a 'freight car' shell demolished a truck in which a driver, a helper and five passengers were riding," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 3/14/1919.

Of the game a local paper says: At first, the Syracuse team ran away with the game and it was with surprise that the fans saw the soldier boys apparently put to rout. Then Kimball who played a grand game for Fort Slocum, evened up matters only to have the college team score on a foul. He later returned, however, at the end of the half when the soldiers tallied again on a foul. It was 10 to 3 in favor of Syracuse. Only one field goal had been contributed by Fort Slocum in the initial half. Then came the rush of the second half between the soldiers caused a flurry by getting through the Syracuse defense several times. Parker scored and then Kimball again and the college team then added a foul. Again Kimball broke through and got it 'over the top' to the cheers and joy of the big following of the team from the Fort. The lead was pulled down to 11 to 9 when the college players again forged to the front and increased their lead. Parker and Kimball again came to the rescue of their mates and they made a brilliant effort to force their way across 'No Man's Land' to the enemy line but the whistle brought the great battle to a finish before they could accomplish their purpose," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 3/1/1918.

Long-Lance, Sylvester Chahuska. St. John's School cadet. Class of 1915, known as "Chief," from Cherokee, NC. With the Allies. "Sylvester Long Lance, Cherokee Indian, who was the best all-around student graduated from St. John's Military school, Manlius two years ago lies wounded in France. As first lieutenant of 'Princess Pat's' regiment, he went through the battle of Vimy Ridge unscratched, only to get a shrapnel wound in the head on one of the quietest days that followed. Upon his graduation here, Long Lance was designated by President Wilson for appointment to West Point but failed in his entrance examinations. He disappeared before entrance, however, and was not heard of until a friend in New York received a letter, dated June 1st, which follows: 'I am in a field hospital convalescing from a wound in the head received a couple of weeks ago. Nothing serious; only a piece of shrapnel in the back part of the head and a broken nose--the latter sustained in falling on my face, I presume I came through the April 9th scrap (Vimy Ridge) without a scratch, being the only officer of my rank left in my company, only to get hit a month later on one of the quietest days we have had lately. Such is war! Any way, I find that open warfare, which has ensued since we took Vimy Ridge, is much more interesting and endurable than the trench stuff that we had to tolerate all winter. We are able to see miles behind 'Fritz's' lines now, whereas, during the winter, a few yards of No Man's Land and the German front line was the visible limit from our trenches. I am enjoying the green trees and sunny hillside surrounding the hospital here, after so many dreary months in the drab trenches. One would hardly know that there was a war on if it were not for the distant rumble of the 'heavies' and the drone of the battle planes overhead. We have 'Fritz' on the run now, and we are holding all the trump cards, as far as I can see from observation here. 'Fritz' personally, is getting pretty well 'fed-up' with war. It is not infrequent that he voluntarily comes over and surrenders--when he gets a chance to sneak from his own lines," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 7/27/1917. "Probably one of the first Manlius boys to fight against Germany in Europe was Sylvester Long Lance, a Cherokee Indian. Long Lance joined the famous Princess Pat's Canadian regiment and he fought at Vimy Ridge, where his regiment was almost annihilated. He was wounded and was the only lieutenant in his battalion who was alive after that famous battle. Long Lance was graduate from the Manlius schools in 1915. That same year he asked permission to enter West Point. But he went to Canada and joined the Princess Pat regiment and went to France and fought with distinction," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 8/14/1917.

Madison has received word from her husband Sergeant Madison that he is wounded and in a base hospital in France. A part of the letter, which is dated Oct. 6 follows: 'I am in a place I never expected to be in France, a hospital. Now don't be worried, I am wounded but not seriously, in fact only slightly. A piece of shrapnel hit me in the right groin, the metal scarcely penetrated my leg. It was nothing more or less than a painful bruise. I am lying on a cot in a hospital ward as I am writing this. Today is Sunday and I was hit Thursday night about 5:30 p.m. A shrapnel shell is one which contains about 70 to 100 round steel balls about the size of a marble. When it explodes these balls fly in all directions and of course the shell casing flies apart in irregular jagged pieces. The shell that hit me exploded about 10 or 12 feet from me, spite of that, I was much less wounded than any of several others who were hit by the same shell. However, I am alive today solely because I had my heavy cigarette case and steel mirror in my left shirt pocket directly over my heart. I also had one of the maps you sent me, and two of your letters and my aluminum comb in the same pocket. A shrapnel ball went through my blouse, tore the pocket off my shirt, dented my cigarette case and mirror all out of shape, entirely cut the map to pieces, and tore a jagged cut in your own letters and then glanced off almost penetrating the case and mirror. To say that I am lucky is expressing it mildly. I was also lucky in having on two pair of pants. But for that, the wound on my leg would undoubtedly have been worse," The Fayetteville Bulletin, 11/1/1918. "Mrs. Chester W.
