stalwart grandsons of early white f
1"v"vv"" 1
One of the newest outfits in the
Regular Army is the 349th Field .
A Artillery Regiment, composed of
P Negroes, and like thy Indians,
with white officers. This regiment J
which will be followed by a considerable
number of other Negro
unjts to give the race proportionate
representation in the expansion
program of the Army, was ?or- 1
ganized at Camp Dix, N. J., November
2, _1917. It served in the 1
A. E. F. during the World War, |
r" being engaged in the Marbaehe
' (Lorraine) ' sector from October I
11 to the November armistice of |
1918. The regiment was disbanded
nt Oamn Dix after the war. |
Last August the 349th was re- ]
e'ved with a nucleus of about 150
' NTo?ro soldiers from the 9th and
^ ' 10th Cavalry; the 24th and 25th \
Infantry. It is the only Negro ar- i
tillery regiment set up in peace 1
time. A small detachment from the i
Field Artillery school helped in t
the training.
Within a month 1,100 recruita ,
were assembled, most of them from
the cotton fields of Texas and Ok (
lahoma. Of the 77 officers, 57 of ,
them were Reserves, many with
only a few weeks' training.
Today these recruits, one of the [
^ finest looking and best drilled outm
fits to be seen on a tour of South- w
western posts, are proud of then 1
distinctive role in the United States j
Army. They are husky men. eager '
to learn, amenable to discipline ]
They are beginning to operate the 1
155-millimeter howitzers of the !
regiment with the precision of \
well-trained a'rtillerymen.
Thp regiment made a fine ap- !
pearance as it passed in review. It
consists of six- batteries of four '
guns each. Each gun was pulled by
a 10-ton Diesel tractor.
The man Who fired the last.gun
of the 349th Regiment in France
was recalled to service when thi 1
. new reeiment was organized at 1
Fort Sill and fired its first shot.
" He is Master Sergt. Hensen Outley,
a quiet, unassuming and highly
trained soldier of the old Army.
After the war, Sergt. Outley left the
Army and from 1925 to 1931 1
he served as military adviser "tc
'Liberia, the African republic,
through a treaty arrangement.
While on an extended leave from '
* Liberia jn 1929, he visited Germany.
There he became a member |

Sergt. Outley returned to this
country during the start of the

months a?o, he said, "because he
wanted a job and soldiering is to

Praises Moroccan
Division
The following item is the compete
text of a statement by Major
General Hanson E. Eljy, United
States Army, retired, as published
n the Infantry Journal for Nov
>mber-December 1940, at page 602;
"At Soissons there was put be
. ween the 1st and 2nd Divisions,
:he Moroccan Division which was
me of the best French divisions
Lt included the Foreign legion,
(t was composed of men all the
vay from white to black. W.e have
in this country to a large extent
a sort of sympathy against other
races. But after you have been in
a few serious battles, that feeline
Gfoes away, you don't care whether
i man is black, chocolate or white;
all you ask is that he will fight
and when you are banking onhim
on this flank you can know that
he generally is going to be there.
The 1st and 2nd Divisions were
.'lad to have the Moroccan Division
Soissons. They didn't care what
their previous history was; all they
asked was that they fight and do
their part, because when it comes
to getting killed, all men's lives
are to them alike. After a hearty
dinner and with our normal faculties,
in discussing these things we
:ay we want this or that; but iro
back to history and see what your
real reaction in time of battle will
be; you don't_care what color a
man is, and if he is good enough
to show he can command othe:
men, beyond what the ordinary
man can d?, he goes just as high
as anybody and his soldiers wjll
carry on under him. It isn't a
question then of what they like
but whether they have somebody
i l ;
mat win prevuiit men Lwm-g
to the hereafter before their time.'
