History of the American Negro in the Great World War

CHAPTER XVI
3/19

The armistice is signed.

The troops of the Entente to whom the armies of the American Republic have nobly come to join themselves, have vanquished the most powerful instrument of conquest that a nation could forge--the haughty German Army acknowledges itself conquered.

However hard our conditions are, the enemy government has accepted them all.
The 370th R.I.U.S.

has contributed largely to the success of the 59th Division, and has taken in bitter strife both cannon and machine guns.

Its units, fired by a noble ardor, got at times even beyond the objectives given them by the higher command; they have always wished to be in the front line, for the place of honor is the leading rank.
They have shown in our advance that they are worthy of being there.
VINCENDON.
"Black Devils" was the name the Prussian Guard who faced them gave to the men of the 370th.
