LETTER
TO
GREGG
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 UOth Division. Of c civile,
as you know, I was in the lOoth Engineers and you
were Captain of the 1 loth Machine Gun Company.
I recall as if it was yesterday when we were build
ing concrete machine gun emplacements in "no
man's" land near Ypres, Belgium.
As you remember, this work had to be de
at night as we were under observation and ravage
of the German artillery and also machine givns.
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 soon as une
emplacement was completed, you and your men
would move in. I know that never a night pars
ed but that you visited each and every one of those
emplacements, looking to the welfare and comfort
of the men who served under you and my com
rades who were helping construct these emplacements-
had the opportunity time after time to talk
to the men who served in your command, and I
know that they held you in the highest esteem;
that they felt like that at all times you were look
ing 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 h-3 is
held by him 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
different occasions, that the spirit you engendered
by your leadership added greatly to the success of
your Company and undoubtedly saved many liyes
and was in a large measure responsible for the
wonderfui record that your Company made on
September 29th, 1918 in the breaking of the Hin
denburg Line
It might interest you to know that my coy,
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 War. 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- 105th Engineers Company.
30th Division.
