FOREWORD
Having found, after three weeks in our mobilization camp, that there was a great desire on the part of the officers and men of individual organizations to become acquainted with their co-workers, and realizing the necessity of personal contact for our mutual benefit to secure the co-ordination of each branch of the service into a unit of the highest possible efficiency, I have undertaken to compile this Roster. Any success attained is due to the hearty co-operation of Major-General William A. Mann, Colonel Douglass MacArthur, the Statistical Department and Officers of Division Headquarters.
The Rainbow Division was so christened by Secretary of War Baker when he assembled the official Forty-second because it represented organizations from twenty-six States of the Union, embracing a territory from coast to coast and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.
In his selection, only those units which had shown marked ability making them worthy of distinction were chosen, the majority having seen actual service either in the Spanish-American War or during the more recent border troubles. To be among them is an honor of which any man can justly be proud; for being so chosen is significant of the proven ability that our country appreciates. One hundred million people depend upon the Rainbow Division to carry Old Glory to victory on the battlefields of Europe. The division is selected to be among the first to France and to be America’s representatives in the greatest struggle of the ages.
May its career be as brilliant as the rainbow itself.
