Craig told of the wonderful work of the North and South Carolina and Tennessee men of the Old Hickory Division in the war and expressed regret that he was not able to be with them at the memorable date when they completely shattered the Hinden b~urg line.

"When they come here they are entitledl to our best, for they are none others than the saviours of civilization."

Craig said that his battalion was the first unit of the Thirtieth to enter the trenches, which was late in June. T1he division was first under shell fir'e (on Independence Day, .July 4. As soon as the men wvere in the trenches they began to take great dlelight in picking oft' snipers. Tlhe very first (lay meni from Company L~ killed twvo enemy snipers.
