Hersey commanded the 155th Infantry Brigade and would go on to lead the 4th Infantry Division. Fish served as commander of Company K, 369th Infantry Regiment, nicknamed the “Harlem Hellfighters,” an all-black unit of the New York National Guard. After the war, Fish was elected to Congress in 1920 from New York and introduced the resolution to create an Unknown Solider memorial. Photo courtesy the Library of Congress.
