This web page contains the four pages of the Lorraine Cross newspaper dated May 8, 1919.
The Lorraine Cross newspaper was published by the 79th Division of the A.E.F. while in France.
 
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
and not available anywhere else on the entire Internet.

'Abe Lorraine Cross." 11 has not only lived up to my expectations, but has far exceeded them But, after all, it is a Seventy Nintb affair, and could therefore not possibly have been a failure. If all members have enjoyed The Lorraiue Cross as iuuel as 1, and I feel sure they have, then nil must have benelttted 11 Ims u^l^lifor^l^l^lly mah^ltainect a clean, wl^lolrso^l^l^le, and inspiring tone, claiming credit only where credit is due, anti exbibiting malice to none.

As to parades, nothing definite has been decided upon. Papers arriving fro t^1^1 the United States tell of plans for receivin^athe 158th Infantry Brigade in Phfladelphia, and the 313th infantry, and possibly the whole 1571h infantry Brigade,in Baltimore. As to whetl^le^l any effort is being made to have the whole division parade h^l any of Ihe Eastern cities little or nothing can be learned. Unollicially, it might be stated that the parades and kind of ret, eeption to be given the division depend very largely upon the disposition of the men themselves.

FAREWELL Unfortunately, we are compelled to announce this issue of The Lorraine Cross as the last. In its brief career, we believe, the paper has lived up to the best traditions of the Seventy Nintl^1 Division. Every effort has been made, in the face of handicaps, to make The Lorraine Cross like a real news sheet. We hope and pray that every reader of the publication has been satisfled with it. But, knowing, as wedo,tl^le game ^\ve've had to buck in getting out our little child, we make no apologies. A certain loneliness steals over us just now. And well feel as if an old friend were being laid away when we see the last quoin screwed into place in the last form. So long, Everybody. ~ THE FRENCH Friendly hospitality extended to the Seventy Ninth Division by the French in this area has gOllC the limit in proving · what eve all have suspected light along. The Frenoh are regular folks. A little hit of headwo^l lc will explain a great many things which have am^lo^Yed over here. We howled all over the peace when we heard that we left the Souilly area because the French put us out. And this, despite the fact that we disliked the Souilly area with all the feeling he could muster. The trntl^1 is that the French did pbt us out. But, with equal enthusiasm, they are firing all of their own troops not actually needed in the old area Uniforms have been getting 011 the nerves of the French for a long time. The uuifor^l^l^l.he it sky blue or olive drab.is a rem;uder of the hideous days · thru which France has passed Those days are ended now and the people want things normal as soon as possible. At this very minute, the good citizens of Bar-le-Duc are howling like mad .for the removal from that city of all French troops save those actually needed to gal l'iSOII the town. We are going home real heroes to the folks awaiting us. But, there'll be a great deal of kicking by the civilian population of the States if the military men are kept around in m^lifor^l^l^l Im^lger than is necessary. Soldiers in uniform get on the nerves of civilians. In this respect, the French simply are like our OWII people. Broad guage sympathy is needed in the present situation. We've been guilty over here, on many occasions, of many violations of the basic principals of politeness. Let us go home witli our minds made up to recognize our own share in the little squabbles which have come up and, ·, seeing our OWI1 faults, boost the French France is worth the effort, beyond any doubt GOING HOME For the last six months, the one thing any of us have been thinking about is - Goiug Home. Now we are going home. Within two or three weeks many of us will be home. It is time to think what we are going to do when we get there, The trouble with this longing to get home has been that few of us have been 1 THE LORRAINE CROSS, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1919 , . , . ,. ~ HERE anal THERE ^. . ^. able to whip our imaginations past that One Big Night.

There is gOillg to come a time when father is going to wonder if we are going to help him with the corn, or strawberries, or geraniums, or whatever it is that father raises. And the somebody that is silting 011 the porch will wonder when we are going to connect with enm^lgl^l coin to take a trip up to the cm^lrtho^l^lse. It is time to try and cast our iu~agh^lalions about two weeks past that m^ie big night. 'lo try and get into a frame of mind where we know what we are going to do.

E. F. in the States, the permanent organization of The American Le~ion will be established at a National convention under the plans devised by Ihe Executive Committee of the veteran's association. Plans have been formulated by the Executive Committee t'or the enrollment by county and state · members of the Army and Navy, that they may be called together to select delegates front each county to the state convention. From each of the state conventions delegates will be sent to the national convention. The Executive Committee will designate a person or committee of persons in each state to call the state conventions. Under the plan, such persons evils cease to hold office as soon as the C^mlvention meets, and all committees will go out of existence when - the national convention is assembled. Representatives from practically all of the divisions and units of the A. E. F. met in Paris March 17, 18 and 19. At these meetings it was expressed that the apparent m^lanimous feeling ot the A. E. F is that the ties of comradeship should not be allowed to die, but should be fostered in a veteran's association, in Which the principals of. Right, Justice and Freedom can be perpetuated. Lt. Col. Stuart S. Janney'and Sgt. Benjamin R. Kauffman represe~^lted the 79th Division in the meeting of April 7. On that date, an Executive Committee of one of Beer and one enlisted ^Inau from elicit division gild unit of the A. E, F. met to arrange for the couventious iri the Slates. The Executive Committee has suggested that the association be ,catled Lithe Ameriean Legion Olher proposals were that all members of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, in service during the war, be eligible for membership;lhat there be a chapter or branch in each State which shall meet and send representatives to a National convention to be held in the fall of 1919, when a pe I ~ manent organization will be a l I fected.

If the disposition ot an organization is against a parade, they probably Will not have to go through with it. If, on. the other hand, they desire to have a parade in order that their borne cities may have an opportunity to welcome them home in S^olll^C litlh^l^a manner, their is no doubt that the whole thing Will be speedily arranged so that they will not be held in service any longer than is necessary. The same idea will hold good for the whole division. If We want the parade, we may get it. It we don't Want it, we probably Won't have it. Al I ho^l^lgh it was common enough during the winter lo hear the old familiar "I don't want any parade; gh^l^l^l^l^le 'at li'l ole discharge an' I'm satisfied,''.the probability is that most of the men in the division Want the parade. We are in much better physical shape HOW than we were back in the mud area; we feel better, and the thought of five miles Ihrough city streets does not loom up as fearsomely as it once did And We have been treated pretty well for the last few months, and there is less of the get-me-but^Df-this-ma^l^l's-army feeling. We can stand a week more of the army and not mind it such an awful lot, And, finally, there is the though that it is our last chance to be seen and "appreciated" as a m^lit. We made ^d^le big boys iro^l^l^1 G. H. Q. exclaim when we went past the reviewing stand at 1OrqUeVaUX last month; we ought to be able to make the home folks |open their cyes. I How about it.do we v ant to |paradeornol7 Thh^lli it over, and lien your company commander. I The h^lspectio^l^ls are now being Bone through with, and organiza|tim^ls are passing creditably. There Its the inevitable rush for supplies At the last moment, but the Q. M Its holding up o^l^lder the strain and getting the staff but as it is needed. As fast as the inspections are completed and the formalities gone ^lihroogh with, the various outfits Are being shipped down to St, Nazaire,
