Little remembered now is the importance of New York’s young men in breaking the Kaiser’s army amid the farmlands of northeastern France. Nine years later, O’Ryan helped dedicate a monument to the regiment on the edge of Central Park at 67th Street and Fifth Avenue, depicting seven doughboys in their fight for freedom and a world order unthreatened by militaristic nationalism.
“Against a veritable sea of barbed wire, a checkerboard of machine-gun nests, a volcano of fire, and an atmosphere of doubt, the regiment moved forward and was victorious,” the New York Times quoted the retired general as saying.“ I believe no infantry regiment ever excelled them as a fighting unit.” Take a moment on Saturday’s 100th Anniversary to remember them.
