When General Pershing came, he noted the absence of the colored troops, and asked for them. He was told that they were at work. Whereupon he set another day for a return trip, in order that he might review them also.
Another order prescribing the eating place for colored officers at the Le Mans Evacuation Camp was as follows:
HEADQUARTERS AREA D.
