Lt. Alfred G. Page With Army of Occupation in Germany, April 25, 1919

From The Independent, Elizabeth City, N.C., April 25, 1919

1st. Lieut. Alfred G. Page

Lieut. Page is with the 47th infantry of the famous “Fighting Fourth” Division of the A.E.F., which did such decisive work in the second phase of the Argonne campaign last October. He is now with the Army of Occupation in Germany. Lieut. Page was in the contracting business in Elizabeth City prior to the entry of America into the World War. He was 38 years old and not subject to draft, but he had advanced technical and military training and the War Department found him out and made him a Lieutenant. He entered the service in March, 1918. He has many friends in Elizabeth City and corresponds regularly with Mrs. Mollie Fearing, with whom he boarded while in Elizabeth City. The accompanying photo was supplied by Mrs. Fearing who is always proud of “her boys.”
