History of Military Units in Columbia County, FL (1970) Robert Gary Shields



                         At Camp Wheeler, Company C became part of the 31st. (Dixie) Division.
                   Then all officers and enlisted men of the old \lst. Infantry Regiment were

                   transferred and used in the organization of new units of machine gun, field
                                                                         1
                   artillery and infantry battalions. The 2nd. Infantry Regiment was redesignatec

                   the 124th Infantry in Sept. The units went to France with the American
                   Expeditionary Force under Gen. Pershing, but did not see action as a
                   division. The men were used to fill up regiments depleted by casualties.




                          In late 1918 and early 1919 the American Forces were returned to the

                    United States and disbanded.
