Sinopsis

Excerpt from Complete History of the Colored Soldiers in the World War: Authentic Story of the Greatest War of Civilized Times and What the Colored Man Did to Uphold Democracy and Liberty

Conscription was decided upon, and every town and hamlet throughout the country, contributed its quota of men toward mak ing a gigantic army. Our standing army was increased by voluntary enlistment, likewise, our National Guard units. Men flocked to the Navy. In order that we might take our soldiers across the sea in comparative safety, it was necessary that our sea forces convoy the troop ships, and we are proud to say, that considering the vast num bers of men who were carried back and forth, very few lost their lives while on the high seas. Our armies did wonderful work in every section of Europe to which they were sent, and the Navy did won derful work in seeing these men cross with few losses, and in driving the Hun undersea pirates (submarines) from the sea. Our battle ships also acted in concert with our Allies' ships in bottling up the German-high sea fleet so that they were unable to fight.
