Many men who had come to your country from foreign soil followed the Stars and Stripes with a devotion that was beautiful." I asked him to write me a letter giving testimony of the service these men had. rendered. This is what he wrote me: A large percentage of the men of the Three hundredand eleventh Infantry consisted:.of Americans and many Italians. Slavs. -and other naturalized.citizens. who came chiefly from northern New Jersey. Many of them could speak but little -English. It required hard work and .patience to train -them in -the duties of a soldiei. but when we reached the -fighting front I felt -well -repaid for.our efforts. for these men fought like veterans.
