OPEN
LETTER
To
CHERRY
May 16, 1944
Winston-Salem, N. C.
Honorable R. Gregg Cherry,
Raleigh,
North Carolina.
Dear Gregg: ?
It was my pleasure to serve in France with
you in World War 1 in the 30th Division. Of course,
as you know, I was in the 105th Engineers and
you were Captain of the 115th Machine Gun Com
pany. 1 recall as if it was yesterday when we
were building concrete machine gun emplacements
in "no-manV land near Ypres, Belgium.
As you remember, this work had to be done
at night as we were under observation and range
ofthe German artillery and also machine guns. 1
remember the many nights while we were at work
that you would come out and inspect and advise
us in the construction; and also as soon as one em
placement was completed, you and your men would
move in. I know that never a night passed but
that you visited each and every one of these em
placements, looking to the welfare and comfort of
the men who served under you and my comrades
who were helping construct these emplacements.
1 had the opportunity time after time to talk
to the men who served in your command, and 1
know that they held you in the highest esteem;
that they felt that at all times you were looking
after their well-being; that no task was too menial,
but that you would take hold and help them out
and that you had the interest of every man in
your command at heart. The test of a good com
manding officer is the esteem in which he is held
by his men. You ofttimes exposed yourself to
danger beyond the call of duty to further the well
being and the interest of your men, and it is my
judgment that after talking with numerous men
in your command and seeing you in action on dif
ferent occasions, that the spirit you engendered
by your leadership added greatly to the success of
your Company and undoubtedly saved many lives
and was in a large measure responsible for the
wonderful record that your Company made on
September 28th, 1918, in the breaking of the Hin
denburg Line.
It might interest you to know that my boy,
Lieutenant Bill Rierson, was recently shot down
over Germany while flying a P-38 and is now a
German prisoner, and I believe that I know some
thing about what War means; and I further be
lieve that your experience as a soldier and as a
leader, together with your experience in serving
seven terms in the Legislature admirably fit you
to meet the problems of the returning soldier from
this WTar. I also know that thousands of mothers
and fathers feel about this as I do.
With best wishes to you for your continued
success, I am,
Sincerely yours,
J. Bryan Rierson,
Member of the 105tfr Engineers Company,
30th Division,
