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

The enthusiasm and support which wa accorded THE LORRAINE CROSS tro its first appearance made it evident tha sooner or later it would have to expand, t not only to get out a bagger edition, but to print a paper big enough to do justice to the many activities that are now- going on in the Seventy Ninth Division. Both th press of the 304th Engineers, and the me who operated it for us, were worked ove time last week in order to keep up with th increasing demand for the paper; butwhe the final count was made, we found tha we were exactly eight copies over our lis of subscribers.and the limit of the pres had been reached. We had scouted around down in Pari in an effort to find out what could be done hut the arrangements that we could mak there all seemed to be too impracticable t consider. We finally made an agreemen with A. Collot, 15 Rue Entre-deux-Ponts Bar-le-Duc, to print the paper, and fro now on will be in a position to 6et ou enough conies to enable every man m the - divi ion who wants the paper to get it ' ~ When we were in the throes of re'or^t~a^l^l · . ization, we decided at first to preserve the smaller form of THE LORRAINE CROS In wh;cl^l we printed the previous issues and to increase our space by adding to th number of pages. The considerations wer partly sentimental, for we thought that a a memento of the days in France, th men would like to have the original for in which the paper first appeared preserv ed.- Furthermore, it would certainly b more convenient to mail home But whe we came to figure it out, we found we woul - have to make a small book each week, s we abandoned the idea, and adopted tb present form. But as the first four issues will probabl be wanted by the men of the division, t preserve for historic reasons if for no others we are going to set them up in facsimil and run off enough copies to enable eac subscriber to have one. Our compositor will have to vvork on this during their spar time, so thatvve don't knovv just h,ovv soo vve shall be able to distribute them. I may be three or four vveeks before vve ca release the re-printed edition of Vol. I, No 1. But vve shall see that everybody ca - have, if he likes, a complete file of TH LORRAINE CROSS. There vvill be n · extra charge for these copies, but vve shal limit the distribution of them to our sub scribers, GENER.AL KUHN'S RETURN It is a matter of general satisfaction tha Major-General Joseph E. Kuhn, the Sevent Ninth's commander during all its training and fighth~g, has come back to us after hav i^pg commanded the Ninth Corps for th past month. ~~ General Kulm has so long headed th · Seventy Ninth that it seemed strange ~ think he vvas no longer vvitl^l the division - ~ It is to be hoped he vvill stay vvith us thi ' Umc urinal tba final formation is dismissed s . A WARNING It is high time that truck drivers operating in the area of this division were called to time for their mud splashing proclivities. One of the most familiar sights that we know of these days is that of a chaullear, passing a column of troops on the road, putting on all the power he's got and dashmg by the column at express speed. On a muddy road, H^le result is always the same. Gobs of mud and filthy water ^ny to the right and left, and the Doughboys tedding along are all mucked up. Now o one wants to make any threats, but it his practice keeps up, it is suggested that bunch of Dou^Fhboys may forget their arch discipline long enough some one of ese days to step out' of the column and ush a truck or two into the gutter. That vvouldn't be very nice for the opera or of the truck. And splashing of mud on our uniforms. ard as the very devil to keep clean anyvay.isn't very nice for us. Take it easy, boys, vvhen you're passing column. Outside of the mud feature, ou MIGEIT just happen to hit somebody ome time. Then, you'd be S. O. L. Comprise LETTERS TO US.

Corporal Punishmen^L (Your idea is a good one, Corp. We'll se what can be done. Ed.) _ ,67... BOOST COLYUM - Our Boost For This Week goes to the men of the Signal Corps. A11 thru the tough fighting this old Division had, the men of our own 304th Field Signal Batallion kept on the job and didn't miss a chance to show the stuff that's in them. Keeping the wires open when the G. I. Cans and their little brothers are dropping around isn't any cinch job. Any infantry liaison officer Can testify to that. But, our wires were kept Open. Functioning normally with radio, when gas and ot^he^l^r shells are dropping around, isn't any cinch, either. But, our raido men fm^lctioned normalIy. Nothing that Sig^L^la^l^s can be called unon to do is a cinch iob. BUt, Old Boy Signals makes good. And this ain't no salve, either. i I ATROCITIES IN VERSE i SEN' 'AT OlE SHIP HOMEI De 019 Seven'y is gwine home in Inne; They done made de'nounoement, yore do sodjers moon About de time dey got to spend'; dey pipes a mo nfnl tune.

It started to train at Division Headquarters this week, under Juhn Mazeika~ of the 313th infantry. Mezeika was a professional before coming into the army, his home city being Chicago. He has met and defeated some of the best middle-weigh wrestlers in the ^Guuutry, and the tea will be sure of having expert coaching The first Glash fur the team came last night, when it met an t ,defeated the Thir^ly t'if^Lh Division aggregation. Among those training are Mechanie Arthur Rhodke, Ba^L^Ler^Y A, 310~b Field j Ar^Lillery, a Har^Lford, Gonn., middleweight; Private Frank Darling, Battery E, 31 O^lh Field Ar^Lillery, anoLh or mtddleweichL. from Jaunes^Low^D. N. AN APOLOGY TO YOU We are sorry your paper is late this week. We over-estimated the work our mechanical force could do They got a very late start. Its too bad, but we know you'll forgive Regretfully, too, we had to put into this first issue of the Dew-born paper, The Lorraine Cross, certain typographical atrocities because of the ^liuni^Lations there seem Lo he on Freneh type cases. For example, you'll 6nd Eve" for "w" qnile often. The I:rench use very few "w's," as you've probably noticed in their sign hoards. And, also, very likely, in ~La" Vie Parisienno." Bear with us, Friends, Remeuuber, you are not beside the Bier. Ila^Lher, you are wiLnessing the Bh Lh Spasms. ~ But, it's a good looking sheet Chat _ 1 Itougltt muelt abuot it at first, but mne hard-fonght matches come o l very night in the Souilly "Y" hut.

Stable Sergeant Bryan, of the 313tL Infantry, is said to have been respnnsible for having all the hair scrnhbed off one of the mangy moles. Cases like this ought to he reported to the S.P.C.B. Foiled again, lago. You don't knn Whet that is? That's the Society fo the Prevention of Crnelty to Bucks. We can't see mhere the mule ha any kick coming. But, me'll be back in time for tlt rabbit season, an Mann And mayh some of these Buck Pr^tvates Quill kno a little more about houu to take car of the old tmo-barrclled cannon tlta they used to. It's not the army's fault it they dent Between the wrestling team and th boxing team, the Seventy Ninth ough to clean up. This ping-pong league is rentiy de velopiag info something. N o D o d OUR FIGHTERS DATED IN PARIS e trouble is, he sag s, Al at neither he or Boyd have the tilde to train. There is an unconfirmed rumor aomtd that the 313th Band has broken he bank at Monte Carlo. Eve predicted something of this sort mlten cue heard that crowd uuas goin OUllt there. We give the rumor ful credence, Then of course there are the poke nd blackjack leagues. That stunt of the 312th Field Artil lery having a medley relay race is a nod one. Why am t more races of Is sort being staged? Certainly the nulrnle division Sot cnough training keening up mitfi the Hun on this East-of-the-Meuse drive. But for heaven's sake, don't let any f the German prisoners in the Souilly amp enter any running event.
