It does not pretend to be a literary masterpiece, nor a military document of extreme value. It is just a simple, concise report of our small units share in the great World War. Outsiders might find that it contains many little things which look insignificant, immaterial, even trivial. Doubtless they are right. But doubtless, too, those very things mean the keynote to our masonry while abroad, to all that which made life endurable. The choice of a title had its difficulties, as we have survived three names during our short existence. A little incident, however, decided the question: The 106th N. Y. Infantry is coming down the St. Calais road, eating up the last couple of kilometers. At a crossroad they meet two mounted M. P. 's. The doughboys throw a searching glance at the men and their armbands, then a couple of voices say: "Hey, buddie, what outfit?" "One Hundred and Second M. P.!" comes the answer. "That's all right," drawl the perspiring infantrymen, seemingly perfectly satisfied; "you fellows are O. K.!" This little incident, we repeat, decided the choice: 102nd M. P. is the name under which we are known, the name under which we fought, the name under which we made our humble reputation, under which we experienced all that which these notes - so we hope - will revive.
