Excerpt from Our Second Battalion, the Accurate and Authentic History, of the Second Battalion 111th Infantry
There are quite a few of the men who fought in France who would like to have a record of every little town in which they were billeted, of every battle in which they fought, of all positions held by them, of the "resting" areas occupied by them, as well as the dates of each incident. The following pages are a brief and accurate account of those details, which will be of special interest to the men of the Second Battalion, 111th Infantry. To the other members of the regiment, it should form a basis for calculating just where they were on the various dates.
The phrase "Our Second Battalion" originated from a Daily Intelligence Report issued by the Division Intelligence Office the latter part of August, 1918, in which it was stated that "Our Second Battalion" of the Division was holding down a certain sector of the Line in the Fismes Sector. No one but the Battalion Officers and a few others knew at that time that it referred to the Second Battalion, 111th Infantry, as the regimental designation was inadvertently omitted.
