Text Appearing Before Image:
d Meuse:— You were one of the brave soldiers of thatglorious army of Sambre and Meuse, in which we sawso many thousands of men presenting the pictureof a single family, with no rivalry save emulation inthe service of the commonweal. Honesty, Sobriety,and Discipline, austere and vigorous—these were thepowerful forces which won for that army its highrenown. They will again be your guides to Victory.
