May 12, 1928 WINNETKA TALK SOLDIERS OF VERDUN GIVEN SPECIAL MEDAL City Made Famous as Locale of Historic World War Battles Honors Its Heroes A number of Winnetka and Glencoe veterans of the World war are entitled to the Verdun Medal, which is to be issued only to veterans of the French and Allied Armies who were on active service between July 1, 1914 and No- vember 11, 1918 in the Verdun sector (lying between the Argonne and St. Mihiel), and within the zone under enemy shell fire (excluding aircraft bombardment). : On November 20, 1916, the City of Verdun created a 'commemorative medal, not an official order, but an in- signia of 'the "Soldiers of Verdun" which has been dedicated thus: "To the Great Chiefs; to the Offic- ers; to the Soldiers; to all Heroes, known or unknown, living or dead, who immortalized her name through- out the world for centuries to come, the City of Verdun, inviolate and arisen from her ruins, dedicates this medal in witness of her gratitude." The medal is of bronze, with a view of the Tour Chaussee, well known to all who were at Verdun, and with the famous countersign, "Verdun--On Ne Passe Pas!" The name of each re- cipient, together with his rank, regi- ment and date and place of service is also to be engraved thereon. It is suspended by a red ribbon with a tricolor border. The wearing of the ribbon alone is forbidden, but the medal may be worn at official cere- monies and assemblies where it be- comes a rallying sign for "Soldiers of Verdun." Among Winnetka ex-service men of the Thirty-third "division who fought in the Verdun sector are Bill Merrill, U. C. Abel, Robert Doepel, Eugene Grecco, Robert Melleney, Omar Por- ter, T J. Lynch, Louis McDermott, and among those from Glencoe are General John V. Clinnin and General Abel Davis. There are others whose names were unavailable.
