The Lorraine Cross newspapers you see on this page were saved for future generations by Roy Leslie Sawin,
who set all the column heads. He passed away in 1958, but fifty year later, Diane Sanborn, his Great-Niece,
found the papers he had carefully saved, and took the time to scan them in for this website.
We are indebted to both of them because these newspapers are very rare

For the ~Ire.ttime in its history, the division knows it is moving toward home. When the move was made into the areEt we are leaving it was not knows whether we would be put into the Army of occupation. Many thought that after two or three weeks around ~3ouilly, the division would start for Germany. All other snores even in the old Camp Meade days -were towards the front. Dow, however, the division is on the homeward trail, and knows it. The difference in direction reflected itself Friday morning. On all previous moves. there was no downheartedness, but' the men Parched quitely, with few demonstrations, for they knew what was ahead of them. On Friday, however, after the first kilometre or so had been stepped off, most of the outfitsgot singing.the old songs, like Pack Up Yosr Troubles, Keep Your Shades Down Mary Ann; Katy, and that immortal classic, written, pr^PsumabIy, by gentleman in the Navy, It's Not It he Pack That You Carry On Your Back. But they sang, and they had good reason, for.me are going home! The move started promptly Frill day morning. Before daybreak, ill . most of the towns, everything was activity; horses and mules were being cussed into harness, trucks . were snorting away in the sidestreets, and soldiers were adjusting packs and all the harness that goes with a move. Shortly after the sun . was up, the exodus took place. . The roads began to 611 with the . ong lines of hiking soldiers, and . the move was on. The old route step was got everywhere, and th eventy Ninth had started on what may be its last long hike. Three Good Ome^l^l^Y In most organizations, somebody oke up to three essential fact bout this move that made it seperte and distinct from all other oves the division has made since t has arrived in France. The first as that it wasn't Sunday. The econd was that it wasn't nighttime. he third was that it was snowing. These three things were taken s good omens; we must be going ome, because if we were going any here else, it would have been cer ain tbat they would have picked . out Sunday night, with all the pigots of heaven turned on to the ullest extent.the familiar setting . whenever the Seve^Aty Ninth had moved before. ; At the first night's stop four of . .....the organizations were treated to lid avers ~huu~a~d dollars worth ^t,f^lmqving picture shoals that had ~ ~ . . . , ~ . _ ~ . , . .. ~ . . ^.

From all that has been heard of he new area, it is considerably to e preferred to the one we are caving. The country is more attractive in appearance, for one thing, having been farther away from the front, it does not bear so many traces Of the ravages of war. Many of the towns have not had soldiers billeted in them for some time, so that the Seventy Ninth men can expect to get a little more attention from the civilian population. Then, too, there 'are many civilians in most of the towns which means plenty of eggs, milk, .and everything. The New Station Division Headquarters will be at Reynel. The 304th Engineers headquarters will be located at Landis, the :~13th f nfantry, complele, at Lafauche, the Myth Intantry headquarters, with the Headquarters and Supply Companies, and First BaUaIion, at St. Blin; the 315th Infantry, complete, at Rimaucourt, the 316th Infantry Headquarters at Orquevaux; the 310th Field Artillery Headquarters, at Roches-sur-Regnon; the 311th Field Artillery Headquarters at Briaucourt; the 312th Yield Artillery He:^ldquarters at Bologne.

THE ROAD REPAIR Two weeks ago, when themen of the Seve~ty Ninth were set to work at road repair, the roads of the division were in very bad shape. The hard use to which they have been subjected since we have been in this area was not alone to blame for this; the years of war had knocked the bottom out of most of the main roads, and the result Yeas a lot of bad ruts and holes. Now, as a result of the work that is being done upon them, the roads are rapidly getting into some kind of shape. Places that were formerly nothing but ruts are now covered with limestone, and the raw stone is Gemel ting into good macadam. - Within a short time, all the roads should be in con~ition.2 That the roads have been got into shape so quickly reflects highly to the credit of the Seventy Ninth. THOSE LIGHTS - TOMB LQRR-~-~NE BROWS, ~31£0~D~, #I?~AR~^i By, 11~18 TH E LORRAI N E CROSS Published! every Thursday by the enlisted men of the 79th Division. MONTFAUCON The Thirty Seventh Division, evidently unmindful of the error, claims credit for the capture of Montfaucon which, actually, was captured by the Sevenly Nirmth 13ivision, 'The erroneous claim appears in the history of the Thirty Seventh, a copy of which just has reached division headquarters here. A map, apparently used to show the truth of the claim, appears in the history. But, it doesn't agree, from all we can see, with the operations map which accompanies the official report of General Pershing as cabled to the Secretary of War on November 20 last. ^. It was men of the .313th Infantry, commanded by Col. Claude 13. Tweezer, who took the village on the mount in the face of grilling fire and -stiff resistance from the Germans. Other troops of this Division had a hand in the fighting incident to the capture of Monttaucon which always will stand out, in the annals oi the Seventy Ninth, as the first stiff test of its fi~,htir^lg ef~iciency. The fact remains, definitely, that the hardest sort of opposition was offered to our men up to the very last minute of the battle. No other division could have taken the town before we did. If it did, it seems impossible to account for the pre~ence, in large numbers, of Germans in the village. These Germans were organized and didn't show the least signs of having been annoyed, in any way, by American troops before our men faced them for the struggle which ended in a complete and overwhelming victory for American arms. Our ides of taking a place is handling affairs in the place alter its capture so handily that ant of our own troops following us there sure ly will meet no resistance from that point If anybody took Montfaucon before we gol there, that victor surely neglected his mop ping up and cleaning out process. We know that our friends in the Thirty Seventh have made a Rood record for them '' We are not much on the threat stuf',f. In selves in this war and, in claiming l~ontfact, Our Parents used to remark on our faucon, really believe they took it. But, entire lack of the Threatening Attitude. they didn t. We hope that they will check "isn't it remarkable" they would~verbiate, up on the records and prove, to their own "how 'little threatening the little lambkins satisfaction, the truth of our claim. ~ Yes, we lay,off the Threat Stuff whenever LETTERS TO US possible.

SALUTES, There is a Brown Derby, with Pink Ini^! tials, waiting in the office of this newspape~for the inventor of the brand of salute which ends, Math a flash of the hand, at the chest of the person saluting. It is a most interesting for~of greeting and is so different from what we have been made to regard as the Really Correct Thing that we would like to know- its history. In this form of greeting, the hand is snapped smartly to the visor of the cap or, if it be an Overseaser, into the eye of the personrender^Tng the courtesy. Then, with the speed of an eye-flash, the hand is lowered about five inches. What becomes of it alter that Is a mystery. We have searched all books of reference, even"LaVie Parisienne" and "bagatelle,' for the history of this form of salute but we haven't 'been able to find aline about it. Somehow or other, it seems to us wq saw this salute used at a grand maneuvre . of the Swiss Navy soff^le years ago. . __, | ATROCITIES IN VERSE ^1 WRO1 E PRIVATE LOAME ~ ' I know his address.

Behind the battle line, there is a mound, New made in hollowed, consecrated ground, Beneath the eagle in his glow sleeps, While round about the tide of battle sweeps, Pressed to the universal mother's breast, She soothes his sleep, untroubled is his rest Weep not for him, he freely offered, gave, His life a scourged and bleeding world to save. He found his life, on that far foreign field - Borne to his grave on his unsullied shield, Tho' brief his life in compass and in span, He lives in every life; that lives for man He Rave the world, full measure of his worth And justified his manhood, and his birth, Behind the battle line there is a mound.
