Excerpt from The Official History of the 315th Infantry U. S. A: Being a True Record of Its Organization and Training, of Its Operations in the World War, and of Its Activities Following the Signing of the Armistice, 1917-1919
In publishing this history, it has been the aim of the authors to preserve in permanent form for the members of the 315th infantry a record of the Regiment from the day of its initial organization to the day upon which it finally passed out of existence as an active military organization. The 315th Infantry, as a combat unit of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, was privileged to play a glorious part in the great world struggle for humanity; and this volume deals largely with the achievements of the Regiment in that great struggle.
The record of the 315th Infantry, set down in the pages which follow, stands clear-cut for all who may care to read. The information presented has been painstakingly gathered bit by bit from the individual members of the Regiment itself. Each statement made has been carefully weighed and tested, and, although certain facts and figures may not agree in minor details with those of other official records, it is believed that the record here presented is as complete and accurate as it is now possible for human effort to make it.
The compilation and publication of this official history of the 315th Infantry has involved many months of thought and effort on the part of its authors, but the task has at last been completed, and if, in addition to serving as an historical record, this volume shall aid the members of the Regiment in recalling the precious days of their brotherhood in arms and in knitting more firmly those ties of friendship born of a common duty in a noble cause, its purpose will have been accomplished.
