Tribute to the Dead

Tribute to the Dead

Five days after the wreck, on Saturday, September 16, General Strickler called an assembly of the entire Division on the Camp Atterbury parade ground.  The roll of the dead was read while the soldiers listened with heads bowed in tribute.  While this was in progress, a 36-man honor guard from the 109th Field Artillery Battalion was accompanying the dead back to burial in Wilkes-Barre.
