Gregg Cherry
May 16, 1944
Winston-Saelm, N. C.
Honorable R. Gregg Cherry,
Raleigh, North Carolina.
Dear Gregg:
It was my pleasure to serve in France
with you in World War I in the 30th Di
vision. Of course, as you know, I was in
the 105th Engineers and you were Cap
tain of the 115th Machine Gun Company.
I recall as if it was yesterday when we
were building concrete machine gun em
placements in “no-man’s” land near Yp-
res, Belgium.
As you remember, this work had to be
done at night as we were under observa
tion and range of the German artillery
and also machine guns. I remember the
many nights while we were at work that
you would come out and inspect and ad
vise us in the construction; and also as
one emplacement was completed, you
and your men would move in. I know
that never a night passed but that you vis
ited each and every one of these emplace
ments, looking to the welfare and comfort,
of the men who served under you and my
comrades who were helping construct
these emplacements.
I had the opportunity time after time
to talk to the men who served in your com
mand, and I know that they held you in
the highest esteem; that they felt like 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 commanding 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 see
ing you in action on different 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 re
sponsible for the wonderful record that
your Company made on September 29th,
1918, in the breaking of the Hindenberg
Line.
It might interest you to know that my
boy, Lieutenant Bill Rierson, was recent
ly shot down over Germany while flying
a P-38 and^s now a German prisoner, and
I beleive that I kno^ something obout
what War means; and I further believe
that your experience as a soldier and as a
leader, together .with your experience in
serving seven terms in the Legislature ad
mirably fit you to meet the problems of
the returning soldier from this War. I al
so know that thousands of mothers and
fathers feel about this as I do.
^^CjtWith b^ wishes to yonrfor yotfr con-
tmuend success, I am,
^ncerely your^* .4
