The remarks of Dr. Edward Lasell Partridge, Governor of the
Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York, at the
Court of the Society on the evening of March 21, 192 1,
the occasion of the awarding by the General
Society of Colonial Wars of the War Insignia
and Certificates.
Gentlemen, Members of the Society of Colonial Wars:
I ask your attention to a statement of the purposes of this Society, as recorded at its inception, — now nearly thirty years ago, namely, — "to perpetuate the names, memory or deeds of those brave and courageous men who, — in military, naval or civil service — by their acts or counsel, assisted in the establishment and continuance of the American Colonies; to collect and secure for preservation, the manuscripts, rolls, records and other docu- ments relating to that period ; to inspire among the members and their descendants the fraternal and patriotic spirit of their fore- fathers, and to inculcate in the community, the respect and reverence for the acts and principles of those indomitable men, which made the freedom and unity of our Country a possibility."
From time to time it is well to dwell upon this paragraph.
To-night, these reasons for the existence of this Society receive emphasis, and through the generous kindness of the General Society, the acts, military and civil, of many of our members will receive recognition, — not for service in behalf of the "American Colonies," but for acts based upon determination in behalf of "Freedom and Unity" of the World!
We may well believe that an inherited spirit of our revered ancestors, their example, and the remindful influence of the Society of Colonial Wars had a powerful part toward their self- effacing courage, — sacrificial in some instances.
This, in turn, will inspire present and future men of our Society to acts of heroism.
Of those who will never return, the Cross of the Highest Honor marks their mortal remains !
WAR REGISTER
With a long program before us, with these brief words, I have the honor to introduce Colonel Ladd, Governor General of the General Societv of Colonial Wars.
The address of Colonel William Whitehead Ladd, Governor
General of the General Society of Colonial Wars, at
the Court of the Society in the State of New
York, on the evening of March 21 , 1921.
Governor Partridge and Gentlemen of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York:
I appear before you to-night as the representative of the Gen- eral Society in respect to its issue of war service insignia and certificates, and I have the pleasure of being accompanied here by the other members of the General Society's Committee appointed to distribute these decorations. My associates are Mr. Hornor, the Treasurer General, and a member of the Society in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Edmund Howard- Martin, the Deputy Secretary General and a member of the New York Society.
When, in the fall of 1918, the fighting in the World War ceased, the General Society gave immediate consideration to the question of how those members of the State Societies who had rendered services to the Government could be appropriately honored.
A Committee of General Officers and Officers of the State Societies was appointed to consider the subject. This Commit- tee presented its report to the General Council at a meeting held at Burlington, Vermont, on flag day, June 14, 1919, and after full consideration it was then resolved that an insignia of a design submitted should be presented to those members, who under commission or enlistment had served the United States . Government in the Army or Navy during the period of the World War, and that to those other memibers, who during that period
ADDRESSES
had rendered service to the Government in a civilian capacity there should be presented an engraved certificate. The Committee present to-night were appointed to carry this resolution into effect.
It was determined that bronze should be the material from which the insignia should be made for those who served in the Army or Navy, as that seemed the most appropriate metal for such a decoration. In the accepted design you will find in the center of the insignia an Indian's head, which is a distinctive mark of the Society in its insignia adopted at the time of its formation, and worn by its members. Surrounding the Indian's head is the motto of the Society, "Fortiter Pro Patria," which translated means, "They fought bravely"; and certainly no motto could be more appropriate for such, a decoration for war service as that now presented.
Hie Indian's head with its surrounding motto are placed upon the center of a cross which is peculiar in that it has at each of its four extremities the Fleur-de-lis of France. This cross is a reproduction of a cross made of iron, hand forged and gilded, the work of the town smith of Lou'isbourg on Cape Breton Island. It surmounted the French Chapel in that place when it was captured by the Colonial forces in 1745, and it was brought by them to Harvard College where I believe it still stands over the entrance to one of the libraries.
On the reverse of the decoration is .a number to individualize it and a statement that it is awarded for service to the Government in the World War.
To recognize the numerous forms of civilian service a certifi- cate has been designed which in simple language speaks of the patriotic efforts of the member who receives it. In the engraved border surrounding the certificate you will find nine shields con- taining the coats of arms of the nine original colonies, repro- duced from the designs contained in the great seal of the General Society which is impressed at the corner of the certificate. These coats of arms clearly identify the certificate with this Society and to show that the service for which it is issued was rendered to the Government of the country, the coat of arms of the United
WAR REGISTER
States in colors is placed in the very center of the top part of the certificate.
In awarding the insignia the Committee has followed the clearly stated intention of the General Council that it should not be issued to any persons except those members who were actually commissioned or enlisted in the military or land forces of the United States during the late war. Proof of the existence of these conditions has been rigidly required.
In issuing the certificates for civilian service the Committee has endeavored to be liberal, provided the form of service ren- dered was recognized by the Government itself. Within this limitation we have felt that it was difficult to measure the force or value of any given service.
I observe that the records of those who are to receive certifi- cates are not printed in the publication issued to-night by the State Society, but I wish those who receive them to understand that a short record of such service was in every instance prepared by the Committee of the General Society and a copy is here this evening. I feel that it will be of interest to all to know in a general way what forms of work for the Government are covered by these certificates. They represent the unselfish service which many gave in the War Trade Boards, in military organizations guarding public utilities, in the Governmental Commissions regulating food, coal and transportation, as well as on the draft boards, and their associate and advisory bodies in the carrying out of the selective service draft; in the raising of funds through the drives, for the Liberty Loans and the Victory Loan, as well as for the Red Cross, and for similar agencies ; for service in the Red Cross and allied bodies in this country and over seas, in the American Protective League and in patriotic speeches and writings. Members of the Society who had served in the National Guard and in the Naval Militia and were unavailable for active duty in either service at the time of the war rendered special service which has been recognized in recruiting for the Army and Navy; in furnishing the means for their instruction and for their care and entertainment ; including in one instance the
6
ADDRESSES
establishment of a radio instruction plant, and in another the furnishing of upwards of fifteen hundred acceptable recruits for the Army and the raising in addition of a regiment of state troops of one thousand men.
As I have said before, all such service gave to the National Government a power and an efficiency which contributed in no small measure to the comfort of those who fought on land and sea, and to their ultimate success.
I desire now to touch only on two points : one has already been presented to you by Governor Partridge in so forceful and direct a manner that I shall do no more than repeat it and thus add emphasis to it on account of its importance. The making of this country is too often spoken of only in connection with the war of the Revolution. The fact is overlooked that it was the men and women of Colonial days who themselves and through their descendants, and by their example and their teaching, gave to this country those who in colonial times fought the war of the Revolution and won it, and prepared and drafted that constitu- tion which assures the safety of life, liberty and property under which this country has grown to its present greatness. In other words, this Society, let it never be forgotten, is emphatically a patnotic Society founded on love of country, and never has that been more strongly exemplified than by the services of its members to which we bear grateful recognition on this occasion.
The other point upon which I desire to say a word, and when I have spoken it my remarks will end. is shortly this: these insignia and certificates are given for services rendered in the World War to the Government of our country. What were such services rendered for? We have all heard and read a great deal about the purposes and objects of the war. I do not intend to go into their consideration. On this occasion it is sufficient to know, and with these words I leave you, that you who served this country, whether in its land and naval forces or in a civilian capacity, had one distinctive object above all others for which you worked, and that was to defeat the German nation and to win the war for the United States, and you did it.
