In Memoriam Edwin Thorp Van Dusen Lieutenant, 314th Infantry (September 29, 1918) Firm of conviction Kindly tho strong, Fighting for Freedom, Against what is wrong, Rest with thy laurels, Won in the fight, Great is the vict'ry, When right is might! Farewell, old comrade, Sweet by thy rest Under the banner Vict'ry has blessed; Immortal thy portion, But in God's own plan You stood foresquare, As a Prince among 'Man.'"
