They died, but being dead, live on, and their spirits beckon us to strive toward that for which they died. The flag was their shrine--the fields of France their tomb--and they shall ever be wreathed with God's great glory.

I am very glad that Company B--307th Infantry is putting into this form the many memories of the Great War which remain with those of us who participated therein as bright spots in our path through life. The work done by the 77th Division was most notable and in that work Company B--307th Infantry took full part and contributed its full share. The record of the Company is one of which any organization might well be extremely proud. It took part in the operations in the Vosges; on the line of the Vesle; and in the advance from the Vesle to the Aisne--the 77th Division being the _only_ American division to reach the latter river. In the Argonne-Meuse Offensive which brought the war to a successful conclusion, the Company, with its Regiment, Brigade, and Division, played a noteworthy part. The battle losses incurred by Company B and the battle honors conferred upon members thereof speak for themselves.
