Captain Jones Has Been With Fifth Army Corps Headquarters Since July, 1918
Capt. Frank E. Jones, formerly in command of Company M, the University company, has arrived from overseas and brings an interesting story of the company's experiences. Captain Jones was attached to the Fifth Army Corps Headquarters since July, 1918. He was in charge of training replacement troops for the combat divisions. He was discharged at Plattsburg Barracks, New York.
When the National Guards were called out August 5, 1917, Captain Jones was in Washington on special duty, and the responsibility of commanding Co. M. devolved on Lieut. Merrill Drum. M, the first lieutenant of the company. However, Captain Jonees arrived from Washington in time to take charge of the company before they went to Camp Doniphan.
Between the time the guards were called out and the time they left for Camp Doniphan, Co. M. was camped just in front of the Administration Building and was drilled on the golf links.
OFF FOR DONIPHAN
Company M left Lawrence for Camp Doniphan on September 30, 1917, and arrived there October 1. Company M was then consolidated with Company M of the Second Kansas and made Company M of the 137th Infantry. Captain Jones was in command of the company until January 1, 1918, when he was transferred to Elmore, with Lieutenants Daum, Elmore, to other duties, later promoted to captain, is still in command of the company. Lieut Verue G. Breese and Lieut. Willard Shine are his seconds in command.
At Camp Doniphan the 137th Infantry was given a stiff course of bayonet and grenade work, under the supervision of French and British officers. The men put in a good day's digging trenches and drilling—from 6 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night.
COMPANY SAILS APRIL 25
On April 14, 1918, Company M was entrained and sent to Camp Mills and sailed for France April 25.
Upon their arrival in France, May 11, the regiment was billeted out in several towns. Company M billetted at Allenay. When at Allenay the company was instructed by the British troops with which they were attached.
In June, 1918, the 137th left the Somme sector and went to the Vosges district. About July 1, the regiment relieved the French in that sector and hold the line until they were relieved by the Sixth Division. The Vosges sector was supposed to be a quiet one and had been until the 137th got there and then things lived up considerable. The Kansas boys were not content to sit and watch the Huns, but wanted to go right after them. Several raids were pulled off, one by Company H., the Lawrence company.
LAWRENCE BOYS "OVER THE TOP"
In August the regiment was moved to Camp Nicolas and the units occupied the front lines. In September the regiment moved up and took a position as reserves during the St. Mihiel offensive, but were not needed.
On September 26, the 137th went "over the top" at 5:30 a.m., m. in the Meuse. In the early part of November three days of fighting the 137th was in the thick of it and Company M did its part. Company M lost twelve men killed in the first day's fighting. On October 1, a year to the day after they had landed in Camp Doniphy the regiment was relieved by units of the First Division. They were then sent west billets at Rembeourt Meuse. In the early part of November the regiment marched from Camp Boueut to Sampigny, Meuse, where they were when the armistice was signed.
On April 7, this year, the regiment entrained for Brest and sailed from there on the 11th. "They arrived in New York on April 23, and are now parading through Lawrence, just a year and eight months since they left for Camp Doniphan.
