Wednesday was Charlotte day and North Carolina day as well.
Many thousands gathered there to do honor to the 120 Infantry, a regiment to
whom the undying fame of breaking the unbreakable Hindenburg Line is ascribed.
As the stalwart young heroes paraded, the throng looked on with feelings of awe
and admiration, for they looked upon men who had been in the thick of deadly
battle and came back alive, many of whom wore insignias that told of being
wounded, not once, but several times. The sight of them was especially
gratifying to North Carolinians, for most of them were North Carolinians. The
large delegation that went from Alamance to see the soldiers parade was a
deserved tribute to Col. Don. E. Scott of Graham, the commander of the
regiment, and the other brave Alamance boys under his command.
