Abstract:

The 30th Division, the famous World War I Division made up of men from North and South Carolina and Tennessee, is holding its 20th reunion in Winston-Salem. Parris recounts the experiences of Sergeant Albert H. Collins, who kept details in a little black book of the attack on September 28, 1918, which broke through Germany's strong Hindenburg Line in northeastern France. It was the last German defense on the Western Front.
