Excerpt from With the Help of God, and a Few Marines
Of General Catlin himself, who, as Colonel of the Sixth Regiment of Marines, commanded the forces at Belleau Wood, I feel that something Should be said, though it would be the worst of taste to tack a fulsome eulogy to the narrative Of a man so thor oughly straightforward and modest as he. His men idolize him, and perhaps that tells the whole Story.
