Paul Pivart is the sturdy little mascot for Company "E" of the 166th infantry. He was wearing a suit made of a piece of old tent cloth brought home by his father on his last "permission" in 1916. After that the father disappeared and no news of him has ever reached his family. His big silver watch which still "marches well" is the little son's most treasured possession. He wore it beacuse his picture was to be taken for his "god-fathers." Paul lives at Caen in the Place de la Reine Mathilde, and goes to Vacation School. It costs 6 francs a month, which is paid by his American God-fathers of the Ohio Rainbow Reveille. The AMERICAN RED CROSS administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops
