Above-One of the Docks at Bordeaux Where Negro Stevedore Regiments Played a Vital Part in the War in Unloading Supplies for Our Troops. Transportation of supplies is just as important a part of war as firing guns at the enemy. All the armies in the world could not have defeated Germany if it had not been for the Service of Supply, getting the guns, ammunition, equipment and food to them. Below-To give an idea of the enormous quantities of supplies handled by Negro stevedore regiments, here is a photo of a few cook stoves that came in one shipment.

Above On the Docks at Brest, another French port where colored stevedore regiments were the chief reliance in getting supplies through to the boys at the front. Below-It took tens of thousands of motor trucks to get supplies from docks to the front in France. These had to be shipped from America and here are a few in Assembling Yard at St. Nazaire, France, with cases and barrels of gasoline and oil in the foreground. If it had not been for Negro stevedore regiments, these trucks could not have been taken off the ships.

The Return of the 15th. Seen on troopship as the 369th Infantry came into New York Harbor bringing back the unique record of never having had a man captured, never losing a foot of ground or a trench, and of being nearest to the Rhine of any allied unit wher the armistice was signed, and the first detachment of allied troops to reach the Rhine after the armistice.
