Ora Hainer, 1 Ora (cont) When I had got the second scoop full of water I heard a noise and turning, I saw the engineer uncoupling the engine from the train in preparation to beating a hasty retreat. As all men know who were in the Toul Sector, we were on the main trunk line leading to the St. Mihiel front, and it was also the main highway for the movement of all troops and heavy artillery. I realized that with a trainload of ammunition to blow up it would mean a serious delay which must not be, as things were about ready for the big drive. I demanded of the engineer what he was going to do, and he politely informed me that he was going to beat it. I carried a Colt 45 and drawing it, I told him that if he moved the engine. I would kill him. He saw that I meant what I said, and calling the fireman they beat it on foot, leaving me alone, to extinguish the fire. This I finally succeded in doing by using dirt and water. After everything was safe, I got up a full head of steam, called in the flag, and started out for Menil-Le-Tour, passing the engineer and fireman about a mile from whre they left me. They both tried to get on but were unsuccessful. Arriving at Menil-Le-Tour I called the Captain of my company, showed him what was left of the straw, and told him how the engineer and fireman had deserted the train. They were both court-martialed and received a sentence of one year." Hainer was in the battle of the Toul Sector, Lunivlle Sector, Chateau-Thierry, Argonne-Meuse, and the Battle of St. Mihiel. He was gassed in the St. Mihiel drive; and he received a letter of commendation from the Colonel of his regiment. He left France for the United States on the President Grant 26 May 1919, and received his discharge 25 Jun 1919 at Camp Lewis.

enlisted in the service 25 Aug 1917. He was sent to Fort Lawton and assigned to the 21st Engineers. He tells in a manner most interesting, the experience of his company in France. He sailed overseas 26 Nov 1917, on the President Grant from there he will tell the story in his own words. "The Experience of the Trainman in France." The work of the Twenty-First Engineers (light railway) may sound easy, but to one who put in over a year at the work there is a for different meaning. The gauge of the track was 24 1/2 inches. In the S.O.S. or back area steam locomotives weighing twenty tons were used with more or less success. On either side of the boiler were water tanks each with a capacity of about 300 gallons. This made the engine very top heavy, especially in rounding curves of which there were many, and it was a common sight to see a locomotive turn turtle on a curve. My one big scare in France nearly turned my hair gray. I was in charge of a train of ammunition going from Dongeraurance, near Toul to Menil-Le-Tour. The car next to the engine was loaded with G. I. cans, as we called them, or shells 54 inches high by 9 1/2 inches in diameter. These shells have two copper bands, each one and a half inches wide placed near the bottom to protest the rifling of the cannon. In shipping these shells, straw is braided into bands for protection. On this particular night we had a locomotive, and shortly after passing through Toul. I discovered that the straw had caught on fire from the locomotive sparks. I blew the signal whistle and the train was stopped. I ran to the engine, and to my surprise and horror I discovered we had no water pail, so on the impulse of the moment I took the fireman's coal scoop and carried water in it. I had to send a brakeman back to flag a following train. The engineer and fireman were attached to the Twenty-First from the Twelveth Engineers and were perfect strangers to our company.

entered the service with Co. M, 161st Inf. in Mar 1914. He served with them at the Border and when the United States declared war on Germany, he went with them to Camp Murray. He left there for Camp Mills and sailed for France on 30 Mar 1918, on the President Lincoln, that good old ship which carried so many troops to France. He was promoted to Sergeant and later to 2d Lieutenant on 16 Mar 1919. He was put to training troops and remained in France until 2 Aug 1919, when he left for home on the Matsonia. He was sent to Camp Lewis upon his arrival in America, and received his discharge 12 Sep 1919.
signed up with Co. M, 161st Inf., 24 Feb 1916, and served with them at the border. He went to Camp Murray with them at the outbreak of the war with Germany, and from there to Camp Mills, where he remained until he sailed for France, which was 12 Dec 1917, on the President Lincoln. He was promoted to Sergeant and saw some fighting. He also saw some more fighting and learned that A.W.O.L. is a great game if you get away with it. He was in the battle of the Marne, he fought at Vesle , and was in the terrible fighting at the Marne. He was wounded in the head at the Argonne Forest, but was back on the firing line and saw it through. Being the son of his father, Russ Hodge just naturally had to see it through. He says he is might glad he had his hat on when that bullet hit him. He sailed for home 17 Mar 1919 on the Troopship Frederick, a former German vessel, and was sent to Camp Lewis where he received his discharge 2 May 1919. Russ Hodge found out things about that war which escaped the notice of many less daring spirits. He found time to visit around a little, between fights and could usually manage to scare something up to eat when the eating was scarce. He was a good all-around scout. He fought when the fighting was going on and he just naturally took a few days off when the fighting was over and visited the folks. He always got back in time to get into the next battle, and a great many of his visits were winked at by his officers, and if he happened to be reprimanded, Russ didn't get sore but saluted just the same when next he met him. That is the sort of fellow he is-not above speaking to his superior officer even if the officer had been nasty. Russell Hodge returned to his home in Centralia, after receiving his discharge.
after whom the Centralia Post of the American Legion is named, was a Centralia boy and a graduate of the Centralia High School. He starred on the Centralia foot ball team for four years and was the crack pitcher on the base ball team. Indeed he excelled in anything he attempted, and it is not too much to say that had he not lost his life, he would have undoubtedly some home a Captain. In disposition he was quiet and unassuming but his men learned that he expected his orders to be obeyed and while there was no bluster about him he got results and the men loved him. William Grant Hodge was born at Dexter MN, and came to Centralia in 1910. he signed up with Co. M. 161st Infantry, and served with them at the border, where he was promoted to Sergeant. At the outbreak of the war he went with the rest of his company on guard duty at Everett where there was some trouble with the I. W. W. The company was sent from here to Camp Murray where they remained in training for a time before leaving for Camp Mills. He sailed for France on 12 Dec 1917, and upon his arrival in France, he was sent to an Officer's Training School where he received his commission of Second Lieutenant. He left for the front late in August 1918, and got into the fight at Argonne Forest where he was killed 27 Sep 1918. He was wounded along with his sergeant who died on the way to the first aid station. Grant survived until he reached the hospital but passed away soon after. That night the hospital where he died was bombed by the Huns, and several nurses and many of the wounded who were there, were killed, but the spirit of Grant Hodge was far, far away where the fury of the fight could never touch him, and where treachery and hate are powerless to wreak their will and Love reigns supreme. His record reads "He lost his life, but the Great Redeemer has said, "He who loseth his life for my sake, shall find it again.'" ...
