Description: "The American troops marching through Coblenz to entrain for the embarkation port, where they boarded the transport St. Mihiel, the streets were lined with a guard of French troops, who took over control of the city after the departure of the Americans. There were many tear dimmed eyes among the hundreds of Natives who lined the streets to wave farewell to the American boys with whom they had become fast friends."
