At the end of World War I, shortly after returning to the U.S., the 53rd
Regiment recorded its history in a long-forgotten narrative document
that included an extensive collection of photographs, maps, and
sketches. This book is a digital reproduction of their work. Included
within are descriptions of: Regimental formation and stateside training
** Transatlantic crossing ** Intermediate bivouac in England **
Deployment in France ** Logistical preparation for battle ** Combat,
including the Meuse-Argonne offensive ** Post-war occupation and
service ** Return to the U.S. and subsequent disbandment ** Complete
53rd Regiment roster (name, rank, and sub-unit) for over 2,600 men as of
March 31, 1919 ** List of casualties by name, rank, serial number,
company, and date ** Texts of citations and awards ** Tabulation of
home states for regiment members.
