The Forty and Eight Nationale

OUR 1920 FOUNDERS WERE VETERANS OF W.W.I. FRANCE. Our organization’s formal title is La Societe des Quarente Hommes et Huit Chevaux; or the Society of Forty Men and Eight Horses. During the First World War, French boxcars carried American Doughboys to the front. These wartime boxcars, which held 40 men or 8 horses, were emblazoned with a “40/8”; a symbol readily understood by American veterans of that era. Today our organization’s titles are in French and we meet in symbolic W.W.I. train depots, in grateful homage to the sacrifices of our Doughboy founders and indeed to honor all Americans who yet serve. — We are most commonly known as “La Societe” or simply “The Forty Eight”.
