Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the 126th Infantry in the War With Germany, Vol. 1 This book represents much research work in the investigation and examination of orders, battle maps, operations reports, company log books, and other documents, as well as personal recollections, and all statements herein contained were carefully prepared and verified as to their correctness before they were printed, and we can assure the reader that the events relating to the regiment are truly stated and authentic in every respect. The author fully realizes that when these pages are printed they will become a permanent record of the military service rendered by the regiment in the greatest war in history, and for that reason much more time and labor has been expended than was at first anticipated, so that the chief value of this volume may lie in the correctness of the facts herein related. Yet, it is recognized that in a book of this kind, there may be some discrepancies in details of minor importance, but hours and often days, has been spent in collecting and preparing material facts, even for a single page. The plan of this volume presents the story of the activities and experiences of the regiment in a chronological order from day to day, from the time of its muster into the military service of this country in 1917, to the time of its muster out. What is said of the experiences of the l26th Infantry in this book is in many respects fairly typical of the experience of most infantry regiments which served during the warwith combat troops on active fronts and no claim of special credit for the regiment is made in these pages on account of the service rendered by it. To their credit the fighting ability and achievements of the regi ment was never extolled or exploited by its personnel. As was too often the case in other organizations, and what is said in this respect about the regiment must also be said of the other units composing the 32nd Division. Whatever glory, whatever honor or fame was acquired by the regiment and division came voluntarily and unsolicited from those outside of the division.
