Memories of Company C edited by James P. Gregory Jr.

James Gregory brings the personal memoirs of John S. Hubert back to life with an updated memoir. John S. Hubert enlisted in the United States Army (secretly, at the age of 15 years old) in April 1917 and was sent to Camp Baker, Texas for training but would be eventually assigned to Company C. 1st Battalion, 2nd U.S. Engineer Regiment, which would later be assigned to the newly formed 2nd Division, AEF while in France in the fall of 1917. While in the French Theater of Operations, Hubert would serve as a Company Runner with Co C. and have a personal "ringside seat" during the fighting from Belleau Wood in early summer to the final blood-soaked campaign of the war, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in the fall of 1918. Hubert’s personal experience reveals a new light on the participation of the 2nd Engineers in the war. This is one of the only records written by a member of the 2nd Engineer Regiment and deserves to find a place in any historian’s library.
