Archie R. Belle laid to rest in what was known as a Black cemetery.
This cache is dedicated to those who severed in a segregated
military and lived in a segregated south.
Yes at one time the South was segregated. They don’t post signs
on rest rooms any more, but one only has to visit an old cemetery,
to see first hand.
PLEASE RESPECT THIS AREA.
Pay tribute to those who served, unselfishly.
This cache is dedicated to Archie R. Belle, a soldier who served
in the 402nd Labor Battalion. Of the US Army, During World War
1.
Blacks, where in their own outfits then, units like the 92nd and
93rd Division, don’t forget the 555th, the Triple nickel. At times
they were called Buffalo Soldiers. They came home to rest.
The markers don’t have glory titles like General, but titles
like COOK, cause thats what they did. Some of the markers are made
of concrete with misspelled words, that’s just the way they done it
back then.
This is truly a fascinating piece of history that should be
shared. Archie gave his life for my freedom back then and I just
want to say
THANK YOU ARCHIE.
