McCutcheon, of Chehalis John McDonald of Tenino Edward McDonough, of Napavine
is one of the American boys who felt that Germany
aimed at the world and in order to do his part, he enlisted in the Canadian Army in February 1916, over a year before America got in. He swore allegiance to King George and became a British subject,
and a full fledged Canadian soldier. The following is the story told in his own words of his experiences as a soldier in the Canadian army: " I was posted with the 158th Bat., Infantry, then just forming, but the routine did not just exactly suit me, and after drilling a couple of weeks. I decided that I joined to fight and not shine brass and form fours. I learned through the Sergeant Major that the 62nd Battalion was on its way overseas in a couple of days, and also that they were about thirty men short.
I went to the Commanding Officer, and with his sanction and good will. I was posted on orders that night,
as being transferred to the 62nd Infantry Battalion.
The 62nd was supposed to leave for overseas on the 12th, but orders were cancelled and we did not get away from Vancouver until 15 March 15th. We had a
pleasant trip across the continent, arriving in Halifax via the Canadian Pacific Railway. On the 21st of March, we went aboard the While Star Liner Baltic in the afternoon. After taking aboard five
thousand men we went up the Harbor to Bedford Basin, and stayed there until April 1st when we proceeded to sea with a convoy made up of four ships including the Baltic, Adriatic, Empress of Britain and the Olympic. We had an uneventful voyage across the sea, and landed in Liverpool on 8th of April. We went by train from there to a place called Shorncliffe just outside Folkstone, and after remaining there twenty-one days I was put on draft for the 47th Battalion. I was sent to Bramshott where the 47th were entraining, and after a
rigours training there, we got orders to prepare for
France, and sailed from Southhampton for Havre, France on the 10th of August, 1916.
After spending a part of the day in a rest camp, we were but aboard a train in cars--not passenger--but cars that bore the
inscription "40 hommes or 8 cheveauxen long."
and after spending the better part of two days in them, we landed in a little place and
took up billits in Belgium. We stayed there a day and a half, and then hiked to a camp just out of Renninghelst, and went in the line the next night, just to the right of Ypres. After that night we had business a-plenty, and after a month here we were shifted down to the Somme and were in the thick of it for the better part of two months. Our company came out of it with only sixteen men left,
all officers included. From there we went right down the line in
the British sector, from the Somme to Vimy, Lens,
Paschendale, Arras Aliens, Sensee Canal, Bourbon Woods
Combrai. Valencinnes, etc. I was
wounded above the right knee at Valeneinnes, just as we
were leaving the town on our way to Mons,
just three days before the Armistice was signed and I
was sent to the hospital,
and after a few days
I was sent across the Channel to England on the Hospital Ship Brighton,
arriving at Dover.
I was sent from Dover to a V.A.D. hospital up in Kent, and got away from there shortly after the first of the year, 1919, and at once proceeded to the embarkation camp at Rhly, North Wales. I left there on the 18th of January, 1919, and then across the Atlantic and home on the Cunard Liner
Aquatania, landing at Halifax. Was sent to Vancouver, B. C., and discharged March 21st, 1919." In a note to the publisher Sergeant Livingston says; " Now I have tried to give a bit of my experience as you requested but I am not looking for any big write-up, or to be made a hero. I did the best I could, but I only gave my time and strength, while thousands did more by giving their lives. I am at present three hundred miles from Vancouver, north, and have taken up a homestead. I came here in order to forget all the awful things I have seen."--
This is a very modest spirit indeed, but one can not forget that Livingston risked his life almost constantly, and that he went into battle on the side of right, because of the moral obligation, and long before his country got into it.
It is impossible to think of Co. M, without thinking at the same time of Capt. David Livingstone, for to him, perhaps, more than any other one man, belongs the credit for the high degree of efficiency which the company attained. David Livingstone was born in Ontario Canada and received his education at Trinity University, Toronto. A part of his boyhood was spent in Honolulu. He is a grand nephew of the great explorer and to this we may attribute his love of adventure, which prompted him to leave the medical profession, in which he was attained no small degree of prominence, and go to France as the soldier rather than the physician. When Co. M was first organized in 1910, Dr. Livingstone was commissioned 1st Lieutenant. Upon the resignation of Capt. Kirklin he received his commission as Captain and took command of the company. Capt. Livingstone is a man who held the respect and confidence of his men, and it was a matter of deep regret to him as to the "Home Folks" when the company was broken up. It was at this time that Capt. Livingstone was sent to the Army Corps School at Gondrecourt. A little later he was made Tactical Officer of the 90th Div., composed mainly of Texas and Oklahoma men. He was at Nice on convalescent leave when the Armistice was declared and served with the Army of Occupation in Germany. Here he was given command of the 3rd battalion, 359th Inf. 80th Div. Dr. Livingstone received his first military training with the Seattle High School Cadets and was also a member of Co. B, Washington State Guards. In appearance, Dr. Livingstone is of slender build and looks more like the college athlete than the old campaigner with he is. He has succeeded in securing a tank corps, with the added advantage of a very fine armory, to be located in Centralia. Dr. Livingstone is a high type of citizen and the high esteem in which he is held was shown by the ovation given him upon his return from Europe.
