  • A Forester at War
    A FORESTER AT WAR- Excerpts From The Diaries of ... ....... 4 - . ..4 ~. Colonel William B. Greeley 1917-19191 Edited by GEORGE T. MORGAN,JR. Colonel William B. Greeley receives the British Distin- guished Service Order from General Sir D. Henderson. Colonel Greeley was also awarded the French Chevalier Legion of Honor and the American Distinguished Service Medal in recognition of his outstanding wartime service. In July, 1919, an American army officer aboard the homeward-bound troop ship, S. S. Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, noted in the final pages of his diary, "I regard the A. E. F. [American Expeditionary Force] as a base- ball team which has weak spots, makes plenty of errors, loses games frequently, but ends the season with a high average." The diarist was Lieutenant Colonel William B. Greeley. As Chief of the Forestry Section, Twentieth Engineers,2 he had spent nearly two years in France and had played a prominent role in waging a war which a warrior of the old school lamented was "a hell of a complicated proposition."3 The United States had been actively engaged in World War I for only a short time when General John J. Pershing cabled an appeal for the formation of a forestry regiment which could provide the A. E. F. with urgently needed lumber for docks, barracks, warehouses, railroad ties, barbed wire entanglement stakes, fuel wood, and other forest products.4 In his memoirs, General Pershing comments: "As the details of our mission abroad developed, it soon became evident that in all that pertained to the maintenance and supply of our armies .
