Summary
DescriptionYankees back from Siberia 1919.jpg |
"With steel helmets of white above their ruddy faces, forty-six officers and 1,495 men of the 339 Infantry, first American troops home from service in Northern Russia, arrived in Hoboken aboard the Von Steuben. The 339th is the regiment about which the 'mutiny' story, which aroused nationwide comment, was circulated several months ago. 'Pure bunk' was the characterization of the story Major J Brooks Nichols, wealthy Detroit manufacturer and club man, who was in command of the returning troops. 'More bunk has been published about the North Russia expedition than any phase of the war,' said Major Nichols. 'What gave rise to the story that Company I, of the regiment, had mutinied was an Incident to which an order was misunderstood by a soldier who could not understand English well'" (1) Men of Company 1, 339th Infantry. (2) Sergeant Matthew J. Gradok. (3) Sergeant Harvey Minteer. (4) Major J. Brooks Nichols (5) Captain H. G. Winslow. |
