A Sincere regret is felt that because of lack of Space and of personal unfamiliarity with the circumstances, it has been impracticable to includemore incidents Showing the individual exploits of the enlisted men, but it has been felt that this feature may in a great measure be supplied by the Company Histories which many of the companies most commendably have undertaken to publish. To Colonel A. D. Cummings in particular is due the gratitude of the regiment for any value that this publication may prove to have. It was at his personal suggestion that the task was first undertaken in December, 1918, while the regiment was still in Belgium. His continued interest and ready assistance both as to the nature of the book and the plans for finano ing its publication have been a constant inspiration and a very practical aid in bringing about its completion and final appearance.
