Chain of Command Served as Executive Officer (mid-late Oct. 1918) and later Commanding Officer, 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 6th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Division in France and Germany.
Other Memories MAJ Kennedy had only been XO of the 1st Battalion, 38th Infantry Regiment, 6th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Division for a couple weeks in October 1918 when he had to take over as Battalion Commanding Officer. He led the 1st Battalion through the final weeks of the war, as the new Allied offensives were causing the German Army to retreat ever more quickly until they were actually in Germany itself. After the Armistice ended hostilities on November 11th, the 3rd Division served as part of the Army of Occupation near Coblenz and along the River Rhine. The 3rd Division returned home in August 1919 and MAJ Kennedy returned to the Georgia National Guard (and his permanent rank of Captain) a month later.
