"Company A" 122d Machine Gun Battalion
When "Old Company E" 5th Infantry Illinois National Guard, composed of men of Hillsboro and vicinity, was mustered into the Federal Service it became a part of "Company A," 122d Machine Gun Battalion. This was a Divisional Machine Gun Battalion and was the only motorized fighting unit in the 33d Division.
Company A was commanded by Captain L. A. Tuggle from the time it left Hillsboro until after it reached France sixteen months later.
On the street, during hostilities, whenever "Company A" was mentioned it proved a magnet which drew a crowd around the speaker, listeners eager for every bit of information about the welfare of the company on whose activities the eyes of the community were centered.
Wherever the 122d, 123d or 124th battalions went, they were accompanied by many Mont- gomery County boys with the Medical Detachments. Many of these boys formerly served in the Hospital Corps of the 5th Inf. Ill. N. G.
They all made names for themselves in the military annals of history.
After nearly two years' absence from home, a year of which was spent in foreign lands, the boys returned-much of their boyishness gone and in its place the determination of manhood- a manhood crowned with victory and success bought at the expense of precious lives of comrades and battle scars obtained in some of the fiercest fighting of the World War.
