Description

Compiled shortly after the war, this volume brings together the official history, honor roll, and complete roster of Company B, 307th Infantry, from its formation in September 1917 through the armistice and return home in 1919. Interwoven with personal notes, photographs, and a heartfelt tribute from Major‑General Robert Alexander, it offers a vivid snapshot of the men who trained at Camp Upton, learned drill and bayonet, and built a tight‑knit community amidst the rigors of military life. The narrative walks listeners through the daily rhythms of barracks, mess halls, and makeshift entertainment, while preserving the names of those who fell in service.

Beyond the camp, the book follows the company's march across France—through the Vosges, the Vesle, and the Argonne—highlighting their role in the famous relief of the Lost Battalion in October 1918. Personal reminiscences convey both the hardships of front‑line combat and the pride of a unit that earned multiple battle honors. Listeners will come away with a respectful sense of the sacrifice, camaraderie, and enduring legacy of these World War I soldiers.
