COMPANY 1, 1020 70 HAVE REUNION Former Buddies to Assemble in Meriden on April 27 Co. 1, 102nd Infantry Association, will hold its annual reunion on April 217, in Meriden. Each year the mem- bers of the company who served the unit during the World War gather alternating between New Britain and Meriden, the two cities from which the greater part of the company was formed. The occasion will be marked with a banquet to be served at the old Colony inn in the Hartford-Meriden turnpike consisting of steak and all the fixings. Last year the reunion was held in this city at Schuetzen park ,and about 75 of the original members of Co. 1, 102nd Inf., were present. This year, after a compilation of the present addresses of the veterans of the company, more than that num- ber are expected to attend. The present officers of the asso- elation are John R. Feegel of Meri- den, former capt: of the company. president; Edward E. Ogren, of New Britain, former sergeant in the com- pany, vice president; Fred E. Beebe of Mbriden, former company clerk, as secretary and Clarence J. Calla- han of New Britain, formerly third battalion gas sergeant., as treasurer. At a recent meeting of the officers, the place and date for the banquet was decided upon. Gerald P. Crean of this city was named chairman of a committee to handle the New Brit- ain end of the affair while Mesers. Fecgel and Beebe of Meriden are making arrangements there. The reunion is held cach year as near to the anniversary of the battle of Seicheprey as is possible. Thi: took place on April 20, 1918, and was the first major engagement in which the 102d regiment and more partic- ularly the first and third battalions were engaged. Company I took & prominent part in the counter-attack taunched in the evening of that day in which the German troops which had taken the American first line of trenches, were hurled back to their original positions. The company was the result of the nalgamation of the two companies 1 of the First and Second Regiments, C. N. G. at Camp Yale, New Haven on August 25, 191 The First Reg- iment company was a New Britain outfit while that of the second was from Meriden. : On September 12, 1917, the outfit sailed for Lurope, landing at Liver- pool and going from there to South- ampton, kngland. It arrived at Le- Havre, France, on October 2, 1917 and immediately was sent to the Vosges scction of France into train- ing camps. Co. I and the third bat- talion was billcted at Certilleux, three kilometres from Neufchateau. The company entered the trenches for the first time on the night ot yruary 7, 1918 in the Chemin des Dames sector near Iort Malmaison. After a period of intensive training in actual warfure under the tutelage of French contingents, the company was withdrawn and sent into the foul sector to relieve the Ilirst Di- vision, (Amerigan) which was or- cered to the British sector at Can- tigny. The company entered this or on April and remained there until May 30. It was then hurriedly transferred to the Chateau Thierry front and was sent into a position in the Bel- leau woods, now known as the Bois we la Brigade des Marines where the sccond American Division had stag- ed a bloody defense against the Ger- man drive to Paris in April and May. The 102nd regiment was en- trenched entirely by the night of July 5 and Company 1 w the front lines. Withstanding terrific hombardments for the next two weeks, fending off raiding par- | ties and suffering airplane bombing attacks, the front line positions were consolidated, s placed | FRANGE IN FINAL | HERRICK TRIBUTE (Continued from First Page) discourses made were of a sincere and unpretentious eloquence that went to the hearts of every one within hearing. Many Eyes Are Wet General John J; Pershing, com- mander-in-chief of the American ex- peditionary force, was the first to say goodbye to the ambassador in words and in a touching manner that will not soon be forgotten by those who heard him. The general. who only so recently paid a last tribute to his war comrade, Marshal Foch, painted Ambassudor Herrick | 20 faithfully, as every one present knew him, that his words struck a responsive chord and many eyes were wet as his voice vibrated with unmistakable signs of his own emo- tion, Count Quinones de Leon, Spanish ambassador, who represented the diplomatic corps as its dean, next spoke, and told with obvious affec- tion of the qualities of loyalty and patriotism which had made Ambas- sador Herrick's work so fruitful, Premier Poincare, who spoke last, surprised himself. In the presence of the body of the American ambas- sador who had had conversations of the greatest consequences with him in 1914 and whom he had always recognized as one of the best friends of France, the premier's voice lost the sharp and sometimes rasping [acents wusual to him in political | speeches. He spoke eloquently in a | low gentle voice that carried deep- ly to the hearts of everyone who heard him. Root Joins Pall Bearers The solemn cortege to the Amer- ican Pro-Cathedral and the religious ' ceremony there were In keeping with the program at the embassy. All was {of utmost simplicity with an impres- |sion of grandeur and heartfelt sin- | cerity. Among those at the church was Elihu Root who joined the pall bearers there. Mr. Root had come to Paris from Geneva to visit Mr. Her- rick. but had arrived too late to see his old fricnd again in life. J. P. Morgan, who was unable to attend the ceremonies at the em- bassy, was present at the church service. He entered alone and took | the place reserved for him, but left with the other pallbearers.

The silence of the great crowd was almost oppressive and all, by some trick of recollection turned their eyes to the empty balcony where the ambassa- dor on that historic day nearly two years ago stood with Colonel Lind- bergh, after completion of his trans- atlantic flight. Premier Poincare, the last of the three distinguished speakars to ren- der homage to the late ambassador, spoke in his usual clear sharp voice. The French premier is a man who is complete master of his emotions but his hand shook visibly as he took up his speech and began read- ing it. Viag Drapes Casket - The coffin, covered by the Btars and Stripes, lay 1n the middle of the salon between two windows. Gen- eral Pershing, Premier Poincare, Sr. Quinones De Leon, Mrs. Parmely Herrick, and his secretary Madame Salembier, and the embassy staff stood to the right of it. To the left were Marshals Petain and Franchet D'Esperey, General Gouraud, Owen D. Young, and Ridely Carter. As the body was borne from the cmbassy to the waiting hearse the drums beat “Aux Champs"—to the field—and a hush fell over the great assembly outside the embassy. When in the still air the strains of the Star Spangled Banner rang out and the cortege began moving, slowly, headed by e detachment of the Republican Guard, a battalion of the 31st infantry rendered mili- tary honors. A company of the Fifth Infantry in wide ranks marched ahead of the black and silver hearse ve black plumes and the in the shield on each Solemn Procession On cither side were the pall bear- ers, Poincare, Aristide, Briand, Pershing, Quinones De Leon and Ridgely Carter. Immediately behind it walked Mrs. Parmely Herrick, the ambassador's daughter-in-law. The embassy staffff and the staff of the consulate—about 50 in all—followed then, with General Lasson, repre- senting President Doumergue, walk- ing behind them alone. The presi- dents of the sbenate and the house of deputies, members of the cabinet, and Marshals Petain and Franchet D’Esperey followed. The diplomatic corpse accredited | at Paris came next, then the mem- bers of the grand chancellory of the | Legion of Honor, the prefect of the | Seine Reward. Prefect of Police Chiappe, President of the Municipal Council Lemarchand, and General Gouraud, military governor of Paris. Last in line were the hundred repre- ntatives of American organizations | n Paris. Pershing’s Oration “The lives of Marshal Foch and Ambassador Herrick were likened by General Pershing in his funeral oration over the body of the ambas- sador at the American cmbassy this morning. “Both were stalwart battle for the right,” he left us a picture of what citizen should be." General Pershing traced the car- cer of Ambassador Herrick from boyhood to representative of his country in one of the great nations of the world and ended his cpcomi- um with an expression of confidenc: that his influence in building the fricndship of America and France soldier: d. in ach an ideal ing said in part: “Tens of thousands of men women have said these last and fow heartfelt gratitude. He friend just as he was thei The silent form that lies here to- day is not the man we knew. His soul, the thing that gave his being its personality and its force is what we knew. Tt is beautiful that it should have chosen that limpid aster Sunday to leave the tired body from which it has arisen to shine resplendent in glorious achievement Made His Way Unaided “'Of Amabssador Herrick's memor- able lite his youthful days were those of an ordinary American boy making his way unaided, He lost no opportunity te prepare himself for the great problems which come was my him." Then he turned to Premier Poin- care, and sald: *“You know what he felt for you, Mr. President, not only because of the perilous days you two have lived together but because you are the very embodiment of that undying flame which perpetual- ly lights this land. “It seems to me that our old triend is smiling at us this very mo- ment and when tomorrow the Tour- ville quits these shores, in the long fareweli his spirit wafts to France, there will he pledged once more to | her the legacy of his love and to! America the pious duty of its per- | petuation.” A Poincaire’s Eulogy The speeck of Premier Poincare in culogy of Ambassador Herrick follows in part: “Ten days ago, on the sad occa- | sion .of Marshal Foch's funeral | Myron T. Herrick gave France his last supreme mark of constant triendship. Although he had hardly recovered from a long dangerous ill- ness he made a point of walking in the procession that followed the | marshal to his grave, and attending the funeral from its beginning to its {end. thus taking publicly his part in {our national mourning. “Today he, in his turn, has sud- denly fallen prey to death.
