JOHN RAYMOND
HIGGINS
- Class of 1917 -
- Died in Service -
The following service record of John Raymond Higgins '17, who died
of typhoid fever Oct. 25, at Base Hospital No. 18 in France,
has just been received :
When the United States entered the war he tried to enlist, but was
three or four times rejected on account of his health. He then
devoted himself to Y. M. C. A. work. Later he was called in the
draft, and twice rejected. On Lincoln's Birthday, Iois, he finally
received notice from the government that his country had need of
him, and in a letter sent to his mother on that day he wrote, "I am
happier than I have been for a long time, to think that now I may be
in a position really to count in the contest. This is not the end of
life, but the real beginning." He was at Camp Dix only a short time,
and sailed for France late in April of this year.
A letter recently received from a secretary of the American Red
Cross stated that on Oct. 17 he had been brought to the hospital in
a very serious condition. The secretary said that his nurse had been
devoted to him, and had said, "he was the most perfect gentleman she
ever saw and so sweet and patient." He was buried with military
honors in the cemetery connected with the hospital. Te services were
conducted by the Chaplain, Mr. Hunt, and were attended by an officer
of the hospital staff and a detachment of the corps. Besides his
parents, who reside at Flemington, N. J., he is survived by a
brother.
He was a member of the University debating team.

Musical instruments had been requisitioned but did not come until
after the regiment was gone. An effort was made to enlist an entire
band but was fruitless. Pvt. Billy Higgins, formerly a professional
actor, was transferred to the organization from the Depot Brigade
and became famous over night.
The entire regiment attended a vaudeville show at the Liberty
theatre, given by Higgins and a large assemblage of assistants. It
was a great success and established the Regimental Fund.

Early in the year it was decided to organize a band. Instruments
were secured, the regiment was searched for men of musical ability,
and all were assembled at Headquarters Company, under the direction
of Lieut. Leonce R. Legendre. Pvt. George L. Polk, later made
assistant band leader, worked hard with this material, and in a few
weeks it was evident that the band would be a success. At the same
time, Pvt. William Higgins, afterward made color sergeant,
who had entertained the regiment and its guests since leaving
Funston, gathered together a number of entertainers and started work
on a theatrical production, which during the winter and spring not
only provided entertainment for the companies of the 805th, but also
played with great success in almost every town in the Argonne-Meuse
sector, and later went to Neufchateau and nearby places. At Camp
Pontanezen, Brest, this show was one of the most popular in the big
embarkation center.

-- Presenting "Billy" Higgins --
"LOOKY yonder, looky yonder!"
It's Color Sgt. Billy Higgins, dressed up in overalls, a
cutaway coat, a derby hat, and a red bandana handkerchief, with a
50-carat stove polish shine on his face and an inch-wide border of
pink grease paint around his mouth.
Billy was the star of the vaudeville show.
He was still languishing out in Detention Camp No. 2, where all
recruits who came to Camp Funston were sent until the Medicos were
sure they hadn't anything catching, when word got about of his
presence.
A regimental show was in the wind and the colored troops at Funston
and the outlying camps were combed for talent. Higgins had been an
actor in his civilian days and he was borrowed and given a pass to
go to Kansas City and get his make-up.
As all who attended will testify, the first regimental show at the
Liberty theatre was a grand success. Everybody was there.
Billy Higgins took the house by storm. The packed theatre was in a
roar from the moment he came upon the stage.
"Higgins must be in the 805th!" Colonel Humphrey decreed, and the
necessary applications were put in and followed up. And Pvt. Higgins
joined the regiment just before it left for Europe.
Whenever the train stopped and the men filed out to get a bite of
Red Cross sandwiches, Higgins would get on a chair and sing
"Everything," or "Mason-Dixon Line," and other ditties that were
irresistible.
When the Bearcats landed in Camp Upton, N. Y., and started for
Europe on board the Saxonia, Higgins was the chief entertainer
during the entire trip of fourteen days.
After moving headquarters to Chatel Chebery, the organizing of a
regimental show began. The men got together and soon were
entertaining the many guests of the 805th Pioneer Infantry, among
whom were the Congressional Committee on Military Affairs, the Staff
College of the American Expeditionary Forces, and many other
visitors of high rank. They were glad to meet the 805th and spoke of
the regimental show all over the American Expeditionary Forces.
Consequently, prior to our leaving for Brest, a tour of the Advance
Section S. 0. S. was arranged, and the Bearcat Entertainers made a
hit wherever they played. When they rejoined the regiment in Brest,
the Bearcat show was billed almost every night. Some of the popular
songs that Higgins starred with were:
"Somewhere between here and Yonder." .
"Shooting across the Rhine."
"There's a great Day coming when you Lay that Gang Plank down."
"Oh! Doc, then I'll go with you."
One of Billy Higgins' "features" was a prayer which went as follows:
"Our father which art in Washington,
"Baker be thy name.
"May the telegrams fly to Chatel-Chebery, as they do at G. H. Q.
"Forgive the mess sergeant and the top-kicker, and all those who
wear bars and trespass against us.
"Oh, lead us not into the Army of Occupation,
"And deliver us from another service stripe.
"Give us a boat that we may see some blue water and go to God's
country,
"And live in peace forever and ever—eight Men."
The choruses of some of the most popular songs are here given:
"Bull Frog Hop"
Chorus: Commence to wiggle from side to side,
Git away back and do the Mobile Glide;
Then you do the shimmy with so much spice,
Stoop low, hey Bo!
Stew the rice, do the seven-year itch and the possom trot.
Then you scratch the gravel in a vacant lot,
Slap your hands and then you squat—
That's that bullfrog hop.
"You'll Find Dixie Land in France"
Chorus: You remember dancing Mose,
Folks all called him tickle-toes.
You'll find him over there in France;
Alexander's band left old Dixie Land.
They used to play the lovin' blues for everyone,
But now they play the blues upon the gattlin' gun.
Don't forget old Shimmy Sam, finest boy from Alabam,
He went a-way in kha-ki pants!!!
Instead of pickin' melons off the vine,
He's pickin' Germans off the Rhine—
You'll find old Dixie Land in France.
Other favorites were:
"There's Lump of Sugar Down in Dixie."
"And Everything."
"Somebody's done me Wrong."
One of his best military songs was:
"Shootin Cross the Rhine"
Chorus: The first thing you do is when attention's called,
Stand up straight, one and all,
Forward march, column right—keep your interval--
Then you close up tight.
Company halt—'bout face—
Stand at ease with style and grace.
Squad's right and double time—
That's the dance that made the Kaiser
Get back 'cross the Rhine.
Lieut. Leonce R. Legendre of the Headquarters Company was in charge
of the show and the band.
