I had full confidence in you but you have surpassed my hopes. During these nine days of hard fighting you have progressed nine kilometers through powerful organized defenses, taken nearly 600 prisoners, 15 guns of different calibres, 20 minenwerfers, and nearly 150 machine guns, secured an enormous amount of engineering material, an important supply of artillery ammunition, brought down by your fire three enemy aeroplanes. "THE RED HAND", sign of the Division, thanks to you, became a bloody hand which took the Boche by the throat and made him cry for mercy. You have well avenged our glorious dead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1530963475013-TS7FAFRSJ8GEYJ5RSOO3/divider.png Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1530963219620-CPD48A0CY87FY74FYYA8/freddie_stowers.png Awards Corporal Freddie Stowers was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1531953844403-ENZQU567NNBLOLFH8PY8/head_bg.jpg Awards https://www.371stmonument.org/memorial daily 0.75 2019-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1531274003611-J84KDOSPMXIR31AV30BL/flag.png In Memory https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1531953887623-CCYT40VMSU1E7PC2LQGD/head_bg.jpg In Memory https://www.371stmonument.org/about daily 0.75 2020-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1594053644951-JN7FK85DV0EK3ZNIQVIO/371+decendants.jpg Who We Are Descendants and historians of the 371st Infantry Regiment 93rd Division (Colored); World War I https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b32478bcc8fed5759b064a2/1594054071516-12PBKTTOFR77HO6PC3LZ/371st+Monument+creation.jpg Who We Are The 371st Memorial Monument from inception to creation.
