...History...

          Company "K" 314th Regiment, Infantry, was organized September 1st, 1917,
and received its first contingent of sixty-seven men on September 19th, 1917, from
Lackawanna County Local Board No. 3. The men arrived at 7:30 P. M. were issued
mess and sleeping equipment, assigned to bunks and then were served with a hot
dinner which was enjoyed by everyone. The following day the men were equipped
with clothing, examined physically and received their first typoid inoculation --
"shot in the arm."

          On September 22nd, 1917, a second contingent of 53 men from Philadelphia
Local Board No. 50 arrived. From time to time the Company was assigned men from
different Pennsylvania Local Boards, up until November 6th, 1917, on which date the
Company was brought up to full war strength of two hundred and fifty men.

          Company "K" has the honor of supplying seven men to the Regimental Band,
making up 25% of that organization.

          On October 17, 1917, the Company played our neighbors, Company "L" their
first game of Foot-ball. The line up was as follows:

Left End
Left Tackle
Left Guard
Center
Right Guard
Right Tackle
Right End
Quarterback
Left Halfbach (sic)
Fullback
Right Halfback
 		P. S. Sharp
J. P. Brady
J. F. Coyle
M. J. Cawley
T. J. Fearn
J. A. Halligan
R. Smith
F. C. Cunningham
J. Cleaver
J. P. O'Donnell
E. C. Russell

          We were fairly beaten by a score of 28 to 0, but our opponents outweighed us
about twenty pounds per man and it was only our fighting spirit that kept them from
running up the scors.

          The following men of the Company are members of the 314th Regimental Foot-
ball team, which won the Camp Meade championship, and we all owe them our thanks
and appreciation for the good work that they have done:

E. C. Russell
P. S. Sharp
C. K. Dewees
R. Smith
S. W. Shearer
J. Cleaver, Jr.
          Our history has just started and in the days to come it is our hope that we can
achieve things that will make history for the whole world to read and to be proud of.
Our crucial test will come on the battle field and the fighting spirit already shown by
the members of this Company is the best sign that we will do our part in the making
of real history.
