Returned Soldiers Cuveyhouse, Hambey, Brown Back at Badin, June 1919

From The Badin Bulletin, Albemarle, N.C., June 1919 issue.

Returned Soldiers

The picture above shows three of our returned soldiers who saw considerable fighting on the French battlefields. All three of these men came to Badin about the same time, in May of 1916, from Maryville. They left Badin about the same time for the army, and now have gotten back again almost together.

Corporal A.L. Culverhouse was with the 318^th Field Signal Battalion. He sailed for France on July 13, 1918, and saw active service in the Somme offensive, from September 21 to October 21. “Culvey’s” work did not take him into the front line trenches, but he did get up close enough to get a good dose of Hun gas.

Cook Frank C. Hambey was with Battalion C, 114^th Field Artillery. Frank sailed for France on June 13, 1918, got into action August 26 at St. Mihiel, and was shifted to the Argonne on September 15. He went into action there on September 26, and was relieved on October 8, and went to the Woevre front, where he was in action at the time the armistice was signed, arriving in the United States on March 23, 1919.

Private G.C. Brown was in Company D, 125^th Infantry, Thirtieth Division. He sailed May 12, 1918, and saw action at Ypres, July 21 to September 2, and in the Somme offensive, September 21 to October 21, arriving in the United States on April 11.

We are glad to have all of these boys back with us, and are proud that they thought enough of Badin to head this way as soon as they were able.
