Summary

[edit]
Description Soldier-Musicians of the New York National Guard's 369th Infantry Regimental Band conduct a performance in France for troops somewhere in France in an undated Army Signal Corps photo. The 369th Regimental Band is credited with introducing jazz to Europe during their performances as ambassadors of the all-Black infantry troops serving in the re-designated National Guard’s 15th New York Infantry. The 369th arrived in France in December 1917 and initially served as a labor force to improve the port of St. Nazaire, France for follow on forces. The infantry regiment would not move on to prepare for combat operations until March 1918. The 369th Infantry, an all-Black combat unit, served with distinction under French command in WWI and received the nickname Hell Fighters of Harlem from their German enemies. (Courtesy photo)
