Fort George G. Meade: The First 100 Years

“There Is not another Memorial of this type,
anywhere in our country. Nowhere is there a
Memorial like this one, with such a background.
These men have spent a lifetime of effort on this.
They have put a lifetime of memories, work and love
into it.”
Mary E. Robinson, April 23, 1971 (daughter of
Lewis F. Robinson, 314th Infantry, Headquarters
Company).

(Pg. 52) Members of the 314th Infantry Regiment chopped
down trees and used old horse shoes and other salvaged metal
to make spikes and parts to construct the cabin. The photo
shows the cabin as it was reconstructed on the grounds of
the Washington Memorial Chapel, Valley Forge Park, Valley
Forge, Pennsylvania (Private collection of Nancy Schaff).
(Below and left) Original members of the 314th created
a reunion group which continued over decades and is
now The Descendants & Friends of the 314th Infantry.
