Sudden orders, later revoked, sending the regiment home in May, from Remagen-on-the-Rhine, forced cancellation of the con- tract with the Cologne printer after the history was over half in type. The uncertainty of the situation after that date made it in- advisable to proceed with the printing before leaving Germany. Following the return of the regiment to the United States it was necessary to bring the material up-to-date. Unavoidable de- lays in gathering material and in getting it ready for the printer occurred, until it is almost a year since the work was first started. Nothing one can say here can begin to express the debt of gratitude due Colonel Troy H. Middleton, Major J. Frank Burke, Captain Ed. C. Betts, and countless officers and men of the regiment who gave untiring aid and who volunteered information. It is to be hoped that this history will in no small measure ful- fill its mission — to make available for those who have filled its ranks a permanent record of the achievements of the Forty-seventh Infantry.

The guiding element in the preparation of this book has been to let the simple but direct facts tell their own true story without rhetorical effort on the part of the Historian. It has been the policy to treat the organization as a unit ; so doing has resulted in the apparent, though not real, neglect of the Special Units and the part played by them in the accomplishments of the Regiment. For the sources of information from which this compilation has largely been made credit is due Captain Dwight L. Strohl, Per- sonnel Adjutant, Forty-seventh Infantry, who foresaw needs for such records. Where these records were lacking, personal recollections of the officers and men of the Regiment have been relied upon. To Second Lieutenant James E. Pollard, Historian for the Regi- ment, credit is due for the production of this work. The figures speak eloquently of the fortitude, endurance, and courage of the officers and men who have formed a part of the Regiment during its short existence, and still more eloquently relate the story of the pain, the anguish, and the suffering of those who fell in action.

FORMATION AND EARLY TRAINING TT7ITH the declaration that a state of war existed with Germany VV early in April. 1917, Congress provided for an extension of the military forces of the United States on a scale previously unparal- leled. Before the war the Regular Army was authorized to consist of thirty-eight infantry regiments, numbering from one to thirty-seven, and the Porto Rican unit. In the weeks immediately following the active entry of the United States of America into the war, plans were rushed to increase the number of infantry regiments to sixty-four. To accomplish this end, certain of the old regiments were taken, their personnel divided into three groups, one of which was designated to be the nucleus around which the parent regiment would be con- tinued, and each of the other two was used to constitute a new regi- ment. Thus each had for a foundation a strong element in the men who had served in the old army and who were certain to infuse the new army with the spirit and traditions of the old. In the closing days of May, 1917, final arrangements were made for the formation of the Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth Infantries from the Ninth Infantry, which had jvtst come to Syracuse, N. Y., from the Mexican border. In the case of the Forty-seventh Infantry this change was accomplished by the transfer of fifteen officers and six hundred and seventy-six men from the Ninth Infantry. Rosters of each company of the Ninth Infantry were taken and every third man was designated for transfer to the corresponding company of the new Forty-seventh Infantry. During June the new regiment was further augmented by the arrival of eleven hundred and sixty-six recruits from Fort Slocum, New York, Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, Columbus Barracks, Ohio, Fort McPherson, Georgia, and Fort Adams, Rhode Island. In addi- tion a number of men were recruited at Camp Syracuse itself. Major 11 Americus Mitchell was the first commanding- officer. He was suc- ceeded by Colonel Harry R. Lee, attached to the regiment on June 26th. At the close of its first month in existence the effective strength of the organization was eight officers and eighteen hundred and twenty-two enlisted men. Other officers of the regiment were on detached service. Practically the entire summer and early fall at Camp Syracuse were spent in routine training, which was augmented from time to time by the innovations wdiich formed part of the new warfare. The regiment also performed the regular guard duties incidental to camp life. On July 6th, Colonel Herman Hall was assigned to command the regiment. Seven other officers w^ere assigned to the organization during the month, while seven were attached and one hundred and nineteen new enlisted men were assigned to the unit. Many of the officers were still on special duty. Syracuse early adopted the Forty-seventh for its own and knew the new unit as the "Quality" regiment. Both officers and men en- joyed a large degree of personal freedom. The former were at liberty to go into the city at almost any time. For the enlisted men a card system was instituted on the basis of good behavior. Those whose conduct was rated "good" were permitted to be absent without ques- tion from retreat to reveille and from inspection on Saturday until reveille Monday morning. Others were free to be absent until eleven o'clock each night, while some, not so fortunate, were confined to camp. When the regiment was formed the men were quartered in the buildings of the New York State Fair Grounds. Early in August the organization moved to Pleasant Beach, a summer resort located a short distance from the city, where the men were housed in squad tents. Just before going to the beach the regiment lost nearly a thousand men, most of whom were transferred back to the Ninth Infantry and to the Forty-eighth Infantry. The former was being whipped into shape in anticipation of an early departure overseas, while the latter had been designated for duty at Newq)ort News, Va. 12 ^^'ith the close of the first Officers" Training Camp at Plattsburg, N. Y.. the regiment gained fifty-four newly-made officers. At the end of August the regiment had an efifective strength of forty-five officers and one thousand and ninety-three men. Captain Mason \\\ Gray was in command of the unit. Colonel Hall ha\ing been promoted to the grade of Brigadier General. September brought the New York State Fair to Syracuse at which bayonet experts from the regiment gave a daily exhibition. Picked men from each company had been trained under officers who had had special instruction in the new Canadian bayonet fighting. The regiment as a whole at this time paid special attention to bayonet fighting. Colonel Leon S. Roudiez succeeded to the command of the regi- ment on September 24th. During that mcMith the unit lost still further by transfer of men, and the efifective strength fell to less than one thousand for the first time since the formation of the organization. Three additional officers came to the unit for duty. The active strength of the regiment on September 30tli was twenty officers and nine hundred twenty-three men. During the month three men had died from disease and one by accident — the first deaths in the regi- ment. Toward the end of the summer, in addition to the usual routine of close order drill and guard duties, road marches Avere prescribed for the companies. Marches up to nine and ten miles, without packs, were the most strenuous undertaken. October brought increased activity in the form of the construc- tion of a trench system which required three weeks for completion. It was finished only two days before the regiment was moved south to Camp Greene, located at Charlotte, N. C. In the meantime the Forty-seventh had paraded twice for the benefit of Syracuse and had left its mark on the fall social calendar with a regimental hop at the Onondaitrua Hotel. 13 fc O t! 7 W -a 5^ H H S -3 C/2 ^ Q 7^ bi 37 o 2 ffi << ■^ ^^ h ^ ^^ 2 'c?

Nationals of Germany and her allies were eliminated as well as those deemed physically unfit for active service in France. To weed out those of uncertain physical qualities every man in the regiment was examined and as a result about one hundred men were found wanting. In the meantime the officers and men of the regiment had been granted permission to visit New York City. At first only eighteen- hour passes were granted to a given number daily. Later the time limit was extended to twenty-four hours. While at Camp Mills the men were housed in tents. There were no mess halls. The Forty-seventh left Camp Mills on May 9th, the First and Second Battalions, the Headquarters, Supply and Machine Gun Com- panies, and Regimental Headquarters boarding the United States Naval Transport "Princess Matoika." The Third Battalion embarked on the S. S. "Caserta," formerly an Italian cattle-boat. When the regiment sailed for France it had an enlisted personnel of three thousand two hundred and six, the greatest in its history up to that time. Of the ninety of^cers present for duty, twenty-nine were assigned to the regiment and the remainder were attached. Graced by wonderful weather except for one day, the trip across was uneventful. The vessels sailing on May 10th and 11th met at a designated rendezvous and formed a convoy consisting of thirteen transports and the cruiser "Frederick" of the United States navy. The "Princess Matoika" left her pier at 6:30 p.m., May 10th, the "Caserta" having sailed an hour and a half earlier. The "Matoika" came to anchor for the night at ten p. m., and did not get under way until 7 :30 the next morning. In the meantime the "Caserta" had continued on her voyage and was out of sight of land at sundown. The "Matoika," heading south, wdien she continued her voyage the next morning, did not lose sight of shore until about two o'clock in the afternoon. On the following day her course continued to be south with the convoy not in sight. 26 Lookouts had been established and abandon ship ch-ill was lield. De- tails were also designated for work on the ship. On May 13th there was a calm sea. The use of fresh water was curtailed on account of the excessive use of it by the men. The con- voy was sighted about six o'clock in the evening. During the late afternoon the vessel had entered the Gulf Stream, the course of the ship being east. Uneventful days followed. On the "Matoika"' si)ecial courts- martial were appointed to try cases on board ship. Mess arrange- ments on board were adjusted to meet the needs of the ship's com- pany. After the third day out only two meals were served daily to the men on account of the inability of the ship to serve three meals per day during daylight. The assignment of staterooms to officers had also to be readjusted. A rough sea prevailed on May 16th and 17th, which resulted in a good deal of seasickness among the personnel. On the 18th a de- stroyer was picked up at night, while the convoy passed about two hundred miles north of the Azores during the afternoon. The de- stroyer remained with the convoy until May 20th. The only submarine scare of the entire voyage occurred on this date. One of the lookouts reported something in the water and a number of shots were fired at the object which proved to be a bucket according to the ship officers. Troops were brottght on to the decks of all the ships in perfect order. On May 21st nine destroyers joined the convoy at 3:30 a. m., the cruiser "Frederick" leaving the convoy some hours later, going in a westerly direction. On the following day the ships proceeded north and east. Distress signals were picked up from two vessels during the night but nothing further was heard from them during the day. All on board were rec^uired to sleep with all of their clothing on. Land was sighted about 6:30 in the morning, and three hours later the convoy arrived in the harbor of Brest. Officers from the port boarded the ships with instructions as to various reports and matters pertaining to debarkation. During the night the baggage 27 was lightered and additional transports arri\-ed, bringing the total in the harbor up to twenty-one. THE "FINISHING SCHOOL" IN FRANCE Debarking by ladder and proceeding to Fort Bougien, about two miles from Brest, the troops left their transports on May 25th. The Third Battalion was sent to Pontanezen, arrangements later being made for it to rejoin the regiment at Fort Bougien. The Forty- seventh remained in camp for the next two days, varying the monotony wdth two-hour marches by battalions. While the recruits in other battalions were being drilled by squads on May 28th, Companies E. F, and G, received orders to entrain and soon moved out of Brest in a general northeasterly direc- tion. On the following day the remainder of the regiment entrained, the Headquarters and Supply Companies, and the First Battalion, moving during the morning. Although orders were to move promptly at 8 :30 and the regiment left for the train on schedule time, it was 12:30 before the train moved. For the next two days the Forty-seventh had its initial experi- ences with the now famous "40 Hommes-8 Chevaux." En route the regiment passed many other troops as well as Red Cross trains bear- ing wounded. The regiment also saw its first airplanes and observa- tion balloons in any numbers and heard anti-aircraft guns for the first time. On May 31st the regiment was again in camp, this time in Rest Camp No. 6 West, at Calais, which was in good condition and ready for both officers and men. During the night two air raids were ex- perienced, but the German planes were driven ofif by anti-aircraft guns. There were no casualties. All surplus clothing and equipment was ordered turned in on the following day, while the Springfield rifles were replaced by British Enfields. The work was continued on the following day. The men were not permitted to visit in Calais. 28 On June 5th the entire ctjmmand entrained for Samer where the troops were billeted at various points in the vicinity. Upon arriving-, Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters and Su])ply Companies marched to Bernieville ; the First Battalion to Engenhaut ; the Second Battalion to Bout-de-Haut ; the Third Battalion to Cormont ; and the Machine Gun Company to Hugersent. From 4th to 8th of June the organization was occupied in getting settled. A sudden change was made in the plan to retain British equip- ment and on June 8th the companies were hurriedly marched to Samer where American equii)ment was re-issued, exce{)t for the transporta- tion which the regiment retained. For some days following the regiment was continually on the move. On June 9th the entire command marched to Beaurainville. On the following day the regiment marched to Hesdin. On the next day Companies A, B, and C, entrained for Esbly with Regimental Headquarters. Arriving at that town Regimental Headquarters and Companies A and B marched to Trilbardon ; Company C to Vignely, and to \'arreddes on June 12th. Companies D and E detrained at Esbly on June 12th, Company D going to Varreddes, and Companies E and F to Rolet. Companies G, M, and I, reached Lizy-sur-Ourcq on June 13th. Companies G and H marching to Etripilly and Com- pany I to Marcilly. Companies K, L, and M, detrained at Lizy-sur- Ourcq and marched to Marcilly. The Headquarters and Machine Gun Companies marched to V^arreddes. On June 14th the entire regiment except the First Battalion left by marching for Rosoy-en-Multien, wdiere the next two weeks and a half were to be spent in intensive training of a degree the regiment had not so far experienced. On the same day the First Battalion marched to Vincy-en-Manoeuvre. The effective strength of the com- mand at this time was three thousand one hundred forty-eight men. The first night march the regiment took brought it to Rosoy about tw^o o'clock in the morning. The troops bivouacked in the woods west of the village. About eight o'clock the companies were moved to their billets. Seventh Brigade Headquarters was also 29 hfi N N ?; +j O B2 (0 rt N ci .<".

The next morning', Sunday, was spent in polic- ing, while the afternoon was devoted to drill. On Monday the regiment settled down to work in earnest. French chasseurs attached to the regiment tor training executed a terrain exercise. Companies I and L began range practice. At Rosoy the Forty-seventh had its first experiences with live grenades and with the newest developments in modern warfare. Most of the drill periods were devoted to extended order and to the new formations which were soon to be used by the regiment in actual fighting. Trenches were dug under the supervision of the French. The trench mortars and one-pounders were used l)y Headquarters Company. The troops were also shown how to string barbed wire. The entire Seventh Brigade was assembled on June 20th for a problem in open warfare which lasted the entire forenoon. The fol- lowing day was devoted to a division manoeuver in open warfare. Daily drills followed, with Sunday being devoted to drills for the backward men. On this day each battalion drew sixty thousand rounds of rifle ammunition and two thousand rounds of pistol ammu- nition. By June 25th all troops had completed their work on the rifle range. The day was devoted to open warfare manoeuvers. Thurs- day, June 27th, saw another divisional manoeuver, with the battalions merely outlined. For the ensuing days such records as are available bear the following report : "Strenuous drills were held during the entire day." July was ushered in by further work on the rifle range. On the second day of the month a party of officers left for a tour of observa- tion in the trenches. From this time on officers and enlisted men were sent from time to time from the regiment to the front line trenches for observation and training. The Forty-seventh celebrated Fourth of July in excellent fashion by defeating the Thirty-ninth Infantry in the morning in a field day, while in the afternoon the Thirty-ninth was defeated in baseball, the score being 4 to 0. Non-commissioned officers of the regiment were banqueted by French non-commissioned officers attached to Head- quarters, Second Army Corps, French Army, located in Rosoy. 32 To take up positions in the reserve trenches the entire regiment moved on July 5tli by marching as follows: Headquarters and Ma- chine Gun Companies and Company K to Cheneviere Farm ; First Battalion to Boullare ; Second Battalion to Neufchelles. On the following day the regiment marched back to its former station, part of the Second Battalion coming from Mareuil ; and Companies I, L, and M, from Varinfroy, Beauval, and Neufchelles, where they had been billeted on the preceding day. The regiment arrived at Rosoy at 10:45 ]). m. The following day being Sunday, the regiment rested, but active training was resumed on Monday. Eighty officers and enlisted men went in wagons to the reserve ])Ositions on Tuesday, July 9th. The men worked from eight a. m. to 6 p. m. on Wednesday, July 10th. A number of officers and men who had been sent to the front line trenches for training a w^eek pre- vious returned during the day. Another divisional manoeuver in open warfare was held on Jul}^ 12th. Sunday, July 14th, being the French national holiday, all drills were suspended for the day. A banquet in honor of the French non-commissioned officers at Rosoy in return for the banquet given by the latter on the Fourth of July was held in the evening. When the regiment left Rosoy late on the night of July 15th-16th, it was to go under shell-fire and shortly into action. From that date on it can be considered only as a line organization in the true sense of the word. Except for periods of rest and reorganization, after coming out of the line it was to function as a combat unit until the final shot of the war was fired within its hearing on November 11th. It had been in France approximately seven weeks and in that time had trained intensively every possible minute. Officers and men alike felt ready for the actual fighting which was confronting them, al- though they realized that they were being thrust into the fighting some weeks ahead of the date their original schedule called for. At 9:30 p. m. on the night of July 15th, wdien the Germans were beginning their final desperate drive in their bid for Paris, the "Alert" was sounded for the Forty-seventh at Rosoy. Its call had come and it was face to face with the Germans at last. 33 III. IN ACTION ON THE OURCQ AND VESLE TT/ITH the German tide beginning to eljb before the unexpected VV pressure of the Allied forces on three sides of the Soissons- Chateau Thierry-Reims salient, the Forty-seventh was moved up in rear of the lines in reserve. Leaving Rosoy-en-AIultien near midnight on July 15th the regiment marched as follows: First Battalion to Eta- Vigny; Companies E and H to Varinfroy ; Companies F and G to Neufchelles ; Third Battalion and one platoon of the Machine Gun Company to Rouvres ; Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Com- pany, Machine Gun Company (less one platoon) to Cheneviere Farm, all units arriving at their new stations about 1 :45 on the morning of July 16th. The following afternoon the First Battalion moved to Boullare, while the Supply Company was quartered at Beauval. Other units spent the day in cleaning up, after which they worked on their respective positions digging and repairing trenches. On the following day reserve trench positions were prepared in all com- pany sectors, parties of fifty men working at a time. With the weather continuing fair and warm, Thursday, July 18th, was a repetition of the preceding two days. Friday was varied by word late in the even- ing that the regiment would probably move the following morning. The old front line between La-Loge-Aux-Boeufs and Mosloy was occupied by the regiment July 20th. The First Battalion moved from the La Ferte Milon-Le Sepulcre Road to the woods five hundred meters east of Mosloy ; the Second Battalion went from La-Loge- Aux-Boeufs to the La Ferte Milon-Le Sepulcre Road; the Third Bat- talion, Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters and Machine Gun Companies to La Ferte Milon ; and the Supply Company to Bourne- ville. Meanwhile the regiment had suft'ered its first casualties, an officer being wounded and an enlisted man killed. Both were members of observation parties sent to the front lines while the regiment was at Rosoy. On July 6th, Lieutenant R. D. Grout, of Company G, was 34 shot by a German sniper when he hfted up from l)ehind a Inish. Nine clays later Sergeant John F. Donovan, of Company E, and a member of the second observation party, was killed by a shell at La Ferte Milon while with the French. He was buried at La Ferte Milon where the regiment moved some days later. The French officer commanding the unit with which Sergeant Donovan was working paid high tribute to his bravery. Notwith- standing the fact that the Germans were attacking, Sergeant Donovan jumped to a machine gun on the parapet and operated it alone until killed. Sunday, July 21st, was a day of rest for most of the troops, while Monday was spent in attack manoeuvers in a light rain. On the following day the regiment, less the First Battalion, moved by march- ing to La-Loge-Aux-Boeufs and vicinity. On July 24th the regiment moved by trucks to the Bois de Chatelet. about five kilometers south of the Ourcq River. There the regiment w'as under shell fire for the first time. On its way to the Bois de Chatelet the moving truck column was the target for a German aviator who dropped several bombs which went wide of their mark. Regimental Headcjuarters was established at Genefroy Farm and the Supply Company was quartered at Bois de Bonne. The troops had debussed about one o'clock in the afternoon and marched north toward the Bois de Chatelet, arriving there about four o'clock in the morning. They slept near the woods until daylight when they dug in about fifty yeards from the road. Intermittent shell fire, which was going on when they arrived, continued all the while they were in the Bois de Chatelet. The kitchens arrived about noon and the men were served with a hot dinner. In the afternoon Company K was detailed to clean up the woods in the Third Battalion area where German and French dead, killed in the fighting of a few days before, lay unburied. Meanwiiile the regiment sufYered several casualties from the shell fire, two being killed and eight wounded. Regimental Headquarters and the Head- quarters Company moved to La Charme. 35 At 12:30 a. m. on July 2()th a gas alarm was gi\en l)y the Second Battalion, the "All Clear" signal being given a few minutes later. During the forenoon the bodies which had been buried the day before were disinterred in order to secure identification tags. In the afternoon small patrols were sent out. About 11 :30 p. m. a gas alarm was given, again follow^ed wnthin a few minutes by the "All Clear" signal. Another gas alarm was given half an hour later and the "All Clear" signal came again within a few minutes. The last gas alarm was from the First Battalion. Rain fell throughout the night. A German aviator who sprayed the nearby road with machine gun bullets was brought down with rifle fire by a solitary Frenchman in the w'oods near the Forty-seventh's positions. TWO BATTALIONS ATTACHED TO THE RAINBOW DIVISION In the meantime fate had taken a hand in the afifairs of the Forty- seventh Infantry and while the sister regiments of the Fourth Division were temporarily detached from the division and brigaded with the French, where they played no small part in the counter-drive against the Germans and won no small measure of praise from the French for their work, two battalions of the Forty-seventh were dispatched post-haste to the aid of the Forty-second Division. By Field Order No. 13, Fourth Division, dated July 24th, the Forty-seventh Infantry was placed at the disposal of the Seventh Army Corps, with the Eleventh Machine Gun Battalion, less Companies A and C. The mission of these troops was to hold "against hostile counter-attacks the eastern edge of that forest (Bois de Chatelet), especially the north- eastern extremity (facing Hill 200, one kilometer east of Coincy) and mopping up such positions of the forest as may still be occupied by hostile units." While the Second Battalion remained in position, orders came from the Chief of Stafl:', Forty-second Division, for the First and Third Battalions of the Forty-seventh to come to the relief of a brigade of that division which lay exhausted before Sergy after 36 a n Si -3 several days of bitter tiohting-. At eij^ht o'clock on the night of July 28th the two battalions moved l^y marching to Artois Farm, where they were attached to the Forty-second Division. On the following- day Regimental Headcjuarters, the Machine Gun, Supply and Head- quarters Com])anies, and the Second Battalion marched to and bivou- acked in the woods west of Artois Farm. THE ACTION AT SERGY Sergy, like St. Thibaut and Bazoches, where the regiment was engaged in the following month, was the scene of some of the bitterest fighting of the war. The German hordes had been rolled back by Mashal Foch's sudden and repeated blows, but they were contesting every foot of ground, choosing their own positions as they fell back, and taking every advantage of the terrain, wdiich worked to their ad- vantage more often than not. The invaders were utilizing their crack Prussian Guard regiments in a desperate endeavor to stop the onrush of the Allies before their dearly-won gains of the spring and early summer should come to naught. They still had ample supplies of ammunition. They had ample reserves, but they were still blind to the fact that the initiative had been wrested from them. Conse- quently their morale was still high. On the line of the Ourcq they had succeeded in slowing up the Allied advance. The Ourcq river rises about a kilometer and a half to the east of Sergy, flows west until just north of the town, then south past the western edge of the town and turns west and northwest in a wooded ravine, the right bank of which rises abruptly and to such a height as to command the entire region. Five kilometers to the north- west of Sergy lay Fere-en-Tardenois, where fierce fighting took place. From there the German line, heavily defended by machine guns and belts of wire enfiladed by machine guns, ran southeast toward Sergy and just to the north of Sergy, extending in a northerly direction toward Nesles. The enemy had a line of outposts well out in front of his main line of resistance. 38 Meanwhile the Forty-second Division had l)een heavily engaged with the Prussian Guards before Sergy. The town itself was the scene of extremely bitter fighting and had been won and lost several times. One "summary of information" from the American First Army Corps 1 leadcjuarters, states that the town was won and lost nine times before it was finally captured by the Americans. How- ever that may be, there is no disputing the fact that once the Forty- seventh secured a hold on the town the Germans lost it forever. The two battalions of the Forty-seventh went into action inde- pendently, i. e., attached to separate regiments. The Third Battalion was assigned to the left flank of the regiment on the right, the 165th, and the First Battalion was sent in to relieve a battalion of the 167th Infantry, mainly composed of Alabamans, which lay on the left flank. The battalion went in on the right flank of that regiment and it merely happened that the two battalions of the Forty-seventh were adjacent to each other in the action which followed. At two o'clock on the morning of July 29th the Third Battalion started to march in the direction of Sergy. About five kilometers from the town it passed troops of the Twenty-sixth Division. The troops were halted a few minutes later for breakfast, but before they could eat word came to fall in again. They marched into a wheatfield and took up a skirmish formation, moving then into the thin belt of woods to the southwest and west of Sergy, which lay four hundred yards away. Meanwhile, the First Battalion, coming up by another route, had marched in a northerly direction from the Foret de Fere, proceeding up a ravine (the Rue de la Taverne) which afiforded ample protection for the troops, so that there were but two casualties before the men took up their position several hundred yards north of the Ourcq. Crossing the river the battalion took up a position with Companies D and B in front, Companies C and A being in support with the front on the slopes of the hill — the line resting on the unimproved road running northwest in the direction of Seringes. The objective of the First Battalion was the Foret de Nesles, and more particularly the Chateau de Nesles wdiich lay a kilometer 39 and a half away. With the units on either flank unal)le to achance in tlie face of a murderous machine gun Are and the heavy artillery bombardment to which they were subjected by the Germans, the First Battalion went forward to within four hundred meters of its objective. There it stayed for the better part of two days, reorganiz- ing- its lines during the night and taking every possible advantage of the terrain. To meet the fire from either flank Company D had swung partly around to the northwest, and on the other flank Com- pany B had done the same to the northeast, Company A coming in between the two in the meantime. With the Germans entrenched on the hillside as the First Bat- talion advanced it took fierce hand-to-hand fighting on the part of Companies D and B to dislodge them. But the Americans were not to be denied and the advanced elements of the battalion rested the first night, July 29th, on the unimproved road running southwest from Nesles. During the night the battalion strengthened its posi- tion on the hill in anticipation of further severe fighting on the morrow. On the morning of July 30th the situation remained un- changed, the battalion being under heavy fire from both enemy ma- chine guns and artillery all the while. Enemy aviation was also active. Late in the afternoon the Germans counter-attacked following a fierce preparation with machine guns and artillery. After severe fighting the attack was repulsed without gain for the Germans. On July 31st the battalion again advanced in liaison with troops on the right and left and pushed to the unimproved road indicated above — a gain for the three days of slightly less than two kilometers. Meanwdiile the Third Battalion had sufifered heavily during the fighting in and about Sergy. Reaching the C)urcc| on the morning of July 29th the Battalion had been caught in a box liarrage resulting in heavy casualties. Its position was such that it was able to do but little in return for the enemy's fire. By means of the improved road running south into Sergy from Nesles the Germans were enabled to come into the town, firing on the battalion from the flank. Roughly speaking, the front line before Sergy prior to the entry of the units of the Forty-seventh into the action was like an arc of 40 a great circle with the town just inside the edge. As the action developed each battalion drove a wedge into the arc in a general northerly direction, that of the Third Battalion being the more blunt of the two, and gradually including the entire town within its limits. Companies I and L were in the attacking wave from right to left, with Companies M and K in support. Because of the nature of the action and the distribution of the buildings in the town a gap was left between the attacking companies while men from Companies K and M gradually worked themselves into the front line and others were withdrawn to more sheltered positions on the edge of the village. Major G. V. Heidt (acting Lieutenant Colonel), who was in com- mand of the troops when they went in, was wounded just before the battalion entered the woods bordering the Ourcq. Major James P. Cole, the battalion commander, was hit on entering the village of Sergy, and Captain Louis T. Roberts, of Company I, was severely injured by fragments from a high explosive shell almost immediately after. Captain Ross Snyder, of Company M, who then assumed com- mand of the battalion, was killed a few hours later. All day on July 29th the battalion was under heavy artillery fire and under constant observation by enemy planes. On the following morning the battalion went over again with some support by friendly artillery. The town was mopped up. Machine guns, one-pounders, light artillery — both 77's and 88's and 10.5's were active continuously. Officers who were in the action assert that the Germans fired their artillery at almost point blank range. The story is told of an enemy plane, painted black, which flew just over the heads of the Americans, the aviator discharging his machine gun at the thinning line of Americans. The pilot of another plane is said to have discharged rockets at the men of the Forty- seventh in an endeavor to set fire to their clothing. When the Third Battalion was pulled out of the line, it moved back to the position of the Second Battalion at Artois Farm. Com- pany commanders of the latter battalion came out to meet the men who had just been relieved, while men of the Second Battalion even did the kitchen police for the exhausted troops in order to give the 41 W u <: H Q w u < Q < O u >^ Ph ^ O M ^ .? > O <^ ^ in S ^ ;=: . 1-3 PQ .

That night the regiment was ordered forward again, but the Third Battalion was permitted to remain during the night, with orders to catch up on the following day. At Sergy the Forty-se\enth clashed with the renowned Prussian Guards and beat them l)ack after dislodging them from extremely strong natural positions. The First Battalion did exceptionally good work, while the Third Battalion was in a naturally bad position and could do little except to hold tenaciously to its positions. During the night of July 29th the enemy made two attempts to retake the village of Sergy, but wdthout success. Other counter-attacks were made by the Germans to the left of the positions held by the Forty-seventh, these being the first offensive movements made by the enemy since the line at that time had been established. It included Seringes, Meurcy Farm, Sergy, Hill 212, and Hill 138. The enemy order of battle was known to be the Fourth Prussian Guard Division, Ninety- third Reserve Regiment, of which the Second Battalion, consisting of two machine gun companies and Companies 5, 6, and 7 were engaged with the Forty-seventh. Friendly artillery gave the First Battalion excellent support, its barrage work being very effective. Good work was also done against enemy machine gun nests. Medical officers and enlisted men of the regiment were brave almost to the point of recklessness in establishing and maintaining first aid stations well within the hottest zone of enemy fire. Although the two battalions had suffered heavy casualties during the three days they were in contact with the enemy before Sergy, they succeeded not only in holding the hard-won positions on the right bank of the Ourcq, which were vital to a further advance, but in advancing the line about two kilometers, so that the enemy finally decided to withdraw to the line of the Vesle. The regiment as a wdiole had yet to go into action, but the two battalions had amply proven the stuff of wdiich they were made. How heavily the two battalions suffered in the engagement is best indicated by the casualties. Twenty-five officers were killed, 44 wounded, or gassed, and four hundred and sixty-two men in action similarly listed. Six enlisted men were officially reported as missing in action. Before going into Sergy the regiment had received four hundred and eleven replacements who came originally from Camp Pike. Six additional officers were made available for duty at the same time. On July 31st the effective strength of the regiment was seventy-two officers and two thousand eight hundred and two enlisted men. THE LULL BEFORE ST. THIBAUT Early on the morning of August 2nd, the regiment, less the First Battalion, moved to the Foret de Fere, seven kilometers away. The First Battalion, which had been relieved from duty with the Forty- second Division, rejoined the regiment at that point. The entire regiment then marched to Villemoyenne and vicinity, four and a half kilometers distant. By night the regiment moved into the southern part of the Foret de Nesles — seven kilometers to the north. On the following day the march was continued, this time to the Foret de Dole, a distance of six and a half kilometers ; this march being made early in the morning. On the following morning the regiment again marched at an early hour to the woods near the Ferme des Dames, three kilometers distant. Here there were a few casualties from shell fire. The Forty-seventh Infantry then constituted the Brigade Reserve on August 5th and 6th. The Thirty-ninth Infantry was at that time engaged at St. Thibaut in an effort to cross the Vesle river and to establish a position on the heights across the stream. The movements just indicated constituted a march in the direc- tion of the Vesle to which the enemy had withdrawn, leaving only rear guards to slow up the Allied advance as much as possible. The Forty-seventh found the Foret de Nesles, the objective of the First Battalion a few days before, very badly shot up. The organization also passed through the town of Seringes, said to be one of the most completely destroyed towns in the fighting in the Marne salient. 45 THE ACTION AT ST. THIBAUT-BAZOCHES Tlie situation at St. Thibaut and Bazoches, just across the Vesle river from St. Thil^aut, was almost an exact duplicate of that before Sergy and it was again the fortune of the Forty-seventh to be sent into the front line when the action consisted largely of holding on to difificult positions, all the while assimilating a terrible punishment from enemy artillery of all calibers ; and, as at Sergy, after success- fully withstanding enemy attempts to dislodge them, the men of the Forty-seventh were withdrawn from the front line on the same night the enemy retired further to the north. St. Thibaut lies on the left bank of the Vesle river with Bazoches on the right bank, the latter town being protected by a bluff which rises abruptly from the town and which commands the terrain for many kilometers. Here, as on the hill to the northwest of Sergy, the enemy had strongly established himself in a naturally protected position. Machine guns were placed to command both towns, while enemy artillery played almost constantly on St. Thibaut and the immediate vicinity as well as on the rear areas. Once more it was the redoubtable Prussian Guard the Forty-seventh was called upon to face. Similar to Sergy, St. Thibaut had been won and lost several times before the Forty-seventh took over the town — and once more the Germans had yielded it permanently. On August 3rd, the Fourth Division, after having been in the second lines behind the Forty-second Division, passed through to the front and operating for the first time under its own commanders, continued to drive as far as the Vesle. Here the enemy had estab- lished himself in force and successfully resisted further Allied ad- vances for the time being. The Thirty-ninth Infantry was in the front line at the time and it bore the brunt of the hard fighting at St. Thibaut until relieved on the morning of August 7th by the Forty-seventh. American efforts to cross the Vesle had been held up by strongly organized machine gun fire in conjunction with minen- werfer fire from hidden positions. American patrols had crossed the river as far as the railroad. Such troops as had been able to get across had been ordered withdrawn on the night of August 5th-6th. 46 United States troops held the hne just to the west of St. Thibaut and French troops were in position from there westward. During August 4th-5th American infantry made attempts to cross the Vesle in the face of enemy artillery fire, which was especially heavy on the left, where the Thirty-ninth Infantry was engaged. i\t the close of the day the American line still ran along the left bank of the river, with the enemy holding the opposite bank by means of machine guns hidden in the long grass and vegetation in the flats along the river. Enemy artillery had been active during the night, shelling on the roads as far back as Chery Chartreuve. St. Thibaut itself was sub- jected to enfilade fire which was especially vicious on the road leading into the town from Chery Chartreuve. The following day was more quiet and in the afternoon a passage of the river was forced in the face of a heavy enemy machine gun and artillery fire and following preparation by friendly artillery. A foot-bridge had been constructed across the river, which was about twenty feet wide at this point, by the Fourth Engineers. The right of the American line succeeded in crossing the river above Bazoches, but the enemy fire was so intense on the left that the attempt was not so successful. On the night of August 4th and during August 5th the Forty-seventh lay in reserve positions where it had been sub- jected to enemy artillery fire. The day was spent in organizing reserve positions in the Bois de Cigres, with the First and Second Battalions in front of the Third Battalion. On the night of August 6th the Forty-seventh was ordered to relieve the Thirty-ninth, and at the same time an attack was ordered for the following day. Mean- while Lieutenant Colonel R. H. Peck had succeeded to the command of the regiment after Sergy. With the heights of the Vesle behind Bazoches as its objective, the Forty-seventh, as the brigade advance guard, was ordered to at- tack, forcing a passage of the river, then to advance through Bazoches and to Vauxcere several kilometers to the north of Bazoches. The Sixty-second French Division had already attained the National High- way on the left, while on the right the advance guard of the Eighth Brigade was resting on the same road just north of the Vesle. The 47 Second Battalion of the Forty-seventh was designated for the attack, with the Third Battalion in support and the First in reserve. At 3:30 a.m., on the following morning, the Second Battalion began to move through St. Thibaut and fifteen minutes later the eneni}', evidently knowing that a relief was in ])rogress, began a terrific bombardment with shrapnel, gas, and high explosive, w^hich continued intermittently for two hours. Heavy losses were suiTered by the Second Battalion. By noon one company of the battalion had attained the left bank of the river. At a quarter past two in the after- noon the Germans counter-attacked, trying to dislodge the Second Battalion, but the attempt was unsuccessful. In a few minutes enemy planes made a reconnaissance of the American front line and imme- diately upon their return the enemy artillery began a heavy bom- bardment. In the face of the enemy machine gun and artillery fire, the bat- talion continued to advance and by five o'clock three hundred and fifty troops were reported to have made the passage of the river — some on trees which had been felled across the river; some on a foot- bridge which was destroyed by direct hits from enemy artillery, only to be rebuilt by the persistent efforts of the engineers ; and still others by swimming and wading. Practically all of Companies G and H and one platoon of Company F crossed the river and dug in. All the while machine guns in the tops of the buildings in Bazoches were pouring a deadly fire upon the men. In crossing the river many of the gas masks had been rendered worthless by being soaked. During the day the enemy threw over between three and four thousand shells, one-third of which were estimated to be gas. The following day enemy artillery was especially active and all indications pointed to a desperate effort to hold on to Bazoches and Haute Maison, just behind. The enemy line was apparently lightly held by infantry and his plan seemed to be to mass machine guns and snipers and to cut off American reinforcements by barrages. His machine guns were skillfully concealed and correspondingly hard to locate. Forty-seventh machine guns and one-pounders were doing eff'ective work against them, however. During the day the bridge 48 over the river, built on the night of August 7th. was the target for scattered shots from a minenwerfer. Enemy artillery dropped up- wards of seven thousand shells on and in the vicinity of St. Thibaut during the day, the bombardment being especially intense from shortly after noon until three o'clock in the afternoon. The Forty- seventh spent the day digging in and organizing its positions. In the meantime the companies of the Third Battalion had dug in on the sunken road to the east of St. Thibaut^ while the remainder of the Second Battalion had dug in on the edge of the railroad. A gap had been reported on the left of the Second Battalion between that unit and the French Division. Company C was rushed over from the First Battalion to get liaison with the French. It succeeded in cross- ing the river near the town and took up a position along the railroad. Later it was relieved by Company B. Where the former company had suffered severe casualties, Company B, strangely enough, went in and out without losing a man. During August 8th the front line was constantly engaged with the enemy, while the support and reserve positions were heavily shelled, many casualties resulting. Patrols from the Second Battalion again advanced to the National Highway on August 9th, and also to within a hundred yards of Ba- zoches, but were withdrawn because they were without support from the flanks. Enemy planes bombed the line which the Second Bat- talion was holding and later in the day the battalion was withdrawn to the left bank of the Vesle. The day was mainly devoted to hunting out enemy machine gun nests and snipers and destroying them. The enemy front was a hot- bed of snipers, well concealed and well protected. The artillery on both sides was very active, particularly during the afternoon. At three o'clock that afternoon a line of skirmishers was seen coming over the top of the hill behind Haute Maison, but a friendly barrage dispersed the enemy with losses. The German artillery directed a harassing and destructive fire on the front line and St. Thibaut, es- pecially between midnight and three o'clock in the morning. About forty-five hundred shells came over. 49 < I • t ' I ' I : t ■ ■:<•') t , I . I '. i u < H W P >^ < H I — I < CO ■M ^ fe £'2 5^ J§ o ■-: 1-3 w on g d Q ■q ? cs Q ^-i >.

The one-])ounders did particularly good work against the machine gun nests. A posi- tion was dug under the railroad embankment in the support line and from there the men from Headciuarters Company destroyed a num- ber of machine gun emplacements. Two of the crews of the one- pounders w^ere badly gassed at another position where the enemy had gotten the range and threw over phosgene in large quantities. A new crew was organized from the Stokes Mortar platoon of the company and the one-pounders were soon back in action. Enemy units identified in the meantime were the 93rd Reserve Regiment of the Fourth Prussian Guard Division, with which the Forty-seventh had clashed at Sergy. During the night of August 9th-10th the troops in the right sector were withdrawn to the line of the railroad, while those on the left were withdrawn to the left bank of the river. The Second Battalion was relieved by the Third Bat- talion. The day was notable for increased enemy aerial activity. At one time eight enemy planes came over the front line of the Forty- seventh and dropped between forty and fifty aerial bombs. They also signalled to their artillery, for immediately afterwards an intense bombardment of shrapnel and high explosive followed on both front and support lines and on St. Thibaut. In anticipation of a possible counter-attack by the enemy, friendly artillery laid down a heavy barrage on the enemy lines, but the attack did not materialize. With the Second Battalion withdrawn to a position in reserve, the Third Battalion now held the front line, with the First Battalion in support. Four heavy bombardments during which live thousand shells were thrown occurred in St. Thibaut during the next twenty-four hours. The heaviest barrage which the enemy had so far attempted occurred between midnight August 10th and six o'clock on the morn- ing of the following day. Gas shells were thrown first, followed by shrapnel and high explosive. The enemy evidently expected a relief to be attempted for the barrage was similar to that thrown when the Thirty-ninth was replaced by the Forty-seventh. It was estimated 53 that six thousand 77's and 88"s and twelve hundred 105's and 150's came over during the l^ombardment. During the day the order was received that the regiment would l)e relieved during the following night. The relief, which was made by the 305th Infantry, of the Seventy- seventh Division, was effected at four o'clock on the morning of August 12th. Slight shelling occurred during the relief. The regi- ment was marched to the Bois de Dole to the west of the Chery Chartreuve Road. It then marched by night to the Foret de Fere, twelve kilometers to the south. From there the troops were marched leisurely southward to rest and to be reorganized after receiving replacements. Heavy casualties had been suft'ered during both the Sergy and St. Thibaut engagements and some of the companies were badly de- pleted of both officers and men. Of the companies which crossed the river, Company E went in with two hundred and forty men and came out with seventy-eight ; Company H lost ninety-four out of two hundred and forty-eight men, and the losses of the other com- panies were in proportion. Once more the Forty-seventh had proved its worth in an action wdiere for a large part of the time it could do nothing but take terrific punishment. Again, as soon as it had been relieved, the enemy with- drew further north. General Order No. 46, Fourth Division, addressed to the officers and men of the division after it had been relieved on the Vesle, says : "The Ivy Division, baptized in full battle, has been christened a fighting unit. It has been tried out and has stood the test. With no preliminary experience in front sector, it took its full share in the greatest attack that has yet been launched by the Allied forces. No soldiers have ever been called upon to stand a more gruel- ling grind upon their fortitude, endurance, and morale than has been imposed upon the men of this division by the fighting in the valley of the Vesle." From August 12th to August 20th the regiment traveled south- ward to a training area in the vicinity of Trampot. From the Foret de Fere on August 13th the regiment marched on the following night 53 to the woods north of Bonneil, a distance of sixteen kilometers. August 15th was spent in resting in the woods. During the following day the regiment marched to the woods south of Hondevilliers, a distance of twelve kilometers. Minus the First Battalion, the regi- ment marched on August 17th to the woods north of St. Simeon, twelve kilometers away. The First Battalion and the Machine Gun Company moved to Montmirail. On the following day the regiment, less the First Battalion, and Machine Gun, Supply and Headquarters Companies, entrained at St. Simeon. The First Battalion and Machine Gun Company entrained at Montmirail, while the remainder of the regiment detrained at Liffol- le-Grand. Regimental Headciuarters and the First Battalion marched to Trampot, ten kilometers away; the Machine Gun Company to Morionvilliers, eleven and a half kilometers distant ; the Second Bat- talion marched to Chambroncourt, twelve and one-half kilometers ; Companies L and M went to Leurville, ten kilometers ; Companies I and K were sent to Bousson, ten kilometers. On the following day the Headquarters and Supply Companies detrained at Lififol-le-Grand and marched to Trampot. For the next three days the regiment rested. RESUMPTION OF INTENSIVE TRAINING With the promise of six weeks of rest the troops anticipated an easy time in their new area — but they were soon disillusioned. At the end of two days' respite from other than actually necessary work, it became apparent that the regiment was in for another hard grind of training. In the meantime Major General John L. Hines had assumed command of the Fourth Division. For the next ten days the regiment underwent the most intensive sort of training. The men were marched out to the drill field by seven o'clock in the morning, had their noon meal served there, and returned to their billets after five o'clock in the evening. Division and brigade manoeuvers with actual artillery were executed. The Second Battalion built a rifle range and the entire regiment indulged in small arms practice. 54 J 1 be 1-5 : .H' -';^f^'^ — Co; (j"^ a; ^ Eighteen huiidred and lifty replacements were received late in the month, which l)rought the effective strength of the regiment uj) to three thousand five hundred forty-three enlisted men and seventy- two officers. The newcomers were mainly from the Fifty-sixth In- fantry and from the May Automatic Replacement Draft. Wliile in the training area the regiment was deloused and bathed. In addition, the men once more had gas training. The last day of the month was de- voted to oft'ensive movements in open warfare. At seven o'clock that evening the regiment received word to moxe out the following day. THE ST. MIHIEL OPERATIONS French trucks conveyed the Forty-seventh on Sunday, September 1st, from the Trampot training" area to Conde-en-Barrois, a distance of abotit fifty kilometers, the trip requiring nine hours. The following day being Labor Day the companies held only short drills, with some indoor work in first aid, the manual of arms and the like. The weather was clear and cool. Tuesday was devoted to policing of streets and billets in the morning, while in the afternoon the troops drilled in the woods and fields near the town. Manoeuvers in open warfare were executed, the troops advancing on imaginary strong-points by means of compass bearings. The following two days were devoted to similar work. Divisional manoeuvers engaged the attention of the men on Friday, September 6th, especial attention being paid to liaison. Sat- urday new wave formations were tried out and during the afternoon the regiment witnessed the Thirty-ninth Infantry in manoeuvers. Bathing was the order of the day on Sunday under the watchful eye of the medical officers. A wire demonstration by engineers at Harge- ville was witnessed in the afternoon by officers of the regiment. Motor trucks were again used to move the regiment, this time to Houdainville, one of the chain of Verdun forts, on the night of September 9th. The trip was about fifty kilometers in length and the troops did not arrive until the morning of September 10th. On the following day Company A was marched to Genicourt and Company 56 B was attached to Corps 1 leadquarters at Ancemont for duty as jirisoner escort. Company C went to Dieue for salvage duty. The rest of the regiment was occupied with lectures on various subjects. Gas masks were worn daily for two hours. Meanwhile the stage was being prepared for the first large scale operation, planned, executed, and developed entirely by Americans — namely, the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient, which had existed since the beginning of the war, in the plain of the ^Voevre. Fourteen of the best American divisions were put in readiness for the action in which it was the fate of the Forty-seventh to play a relatively un- important part. Everything worked with clock-like precision with the beginning of the offensive and the objectives were rapidly attained and at sur- prisingly small cost in casualties. It so chanced that the Forty- seventh was designated to constitute part of the Corps Reserve and consequently saw but little of the action. As a matter of fact its par- ticipation was confined to marching (minus Companies A, B, and C) to the woods near Hill 378 to the east of Fort Houdainville, remain- ing there a short time and then returning to Houdainville. At one time during the action a gap was reported and orders were given for the Seventh Brigade to fill it, but before the brigade could move ad- ditional information came that the American advance had been so rapid that the gap had been closed. Except for friendly artillery in action and the sight of some prisoners being conducted to the rear the Forty-seventh saw nothing of the engagement. Upon the return of the regiment to Les Tremblais, consisting of a few houses and only a short distance from Fort Houdainville, on September 14th, training routine was once more the order of the day, until September 19th. Two days previously Companies A, B, and C, had rejoined the regiment. A fifteen-kilometer march on the night of Septeml^er 19th brought the regiment to the woods northwest of Senoncourt. Three days of hard training followed and at eight-thirty on the night of September 22nd the regiment, less the Second Battalion, marched to the Bois de Sivry, about seven kilometers distant. The Second Battalion went 57 to the northeast of Esnes. fifteen kilometers away. The two succeed- ing' days were spent in training' and on the night of Septenil)er 24th the regiment, less the Second Battalion and the band, one-pounder and Stokes Mortar sections of the Headquarters Company, marched to Bethelain\ille ; the First Battalion to the woods south of that town; the Third Battalion to Vigneville ; the Machine Gun Company north- east of Esnes. The men kept under cover on September 25th and that night the regiment marched to the trenches northeast of Esnes. In the meantime com})any commanders had been taken to the front to see what their positions would be. 58 IV. THE FORTY-SEVENTH IN THE ARGONNE When the Forty-seventh Infantry jumped off at five o'clock on the morning of Septemher 26th, it was with the consciousness that it was participating in the biggest battle the world had ever seen, the attack being from Metz on the right to the North Sea on the left. The final crushing defeat of Germany hung in the balance and it fell to the lot of the regiment to help achieve the objective of the American Army, namely, to cut the enemy's main line of communication. Training under adverse weather conditions at home and forced by the exigencies of the hour into action late in July with its overseas training incomplete, the Forty-seventh had more than justified the confidence reposed in it. Ten days later at the heights of the Vesle it had met a like situation successfully. Tried in two severe engage- ments and with its ranks filled once more it was a veteran regiment which led off on September 26th on the Argonne front. Before going into the details of that action, a recapitulation of the objects sought would aid in understanding the part the Forty- seventh played. On the right the American front extended to the Meuse river, on the other side of which French divisions were operat- ing. On the left the American front extended to a point south of Grandpre, a front of about twenty miles. The German positions to be overrun were of great natural strength which had been improved until the enemy deemed them impregnable. On the right bank of the river the heights of the Meuse rose well above the level of the coun- try on the other side of the stream. Naturally strong points, such as the heights of Montfaucon had been utilized by the Germans to good effect. The Argonne itself with its deep, wooded ravines, and in places almost impenetrable undergrowth, made the task confronting the Americans seemingly more difificult. In his report to Secretary of \\' ar Baker, concerning the activities of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, General Pershing 59 kJ 2 -^ w H o o .S < !z; tf O Q P Si a Q 00 < pi W W X a. o J Q i^ < til M H H 'M _^ Z c 1 w wJ p 1— s >: ^ _b£ W c "t^ o '" w fcc o ^5^ C^ (3; £ be - c* ^ O 1* C oo.--^ c,3 art— "^ a^ ^.jii;— " Z ""It- o '::^ ^ T n'?2fblihCt'S"3 bBcnihJ3O^5iobiib0bB 61 gives the following American order of battle from right to left : the Third Corps, from the Meuse to Malancourt, with the 33rd. 80th, and 4th Divisions in line and the 3rd Division as Corps reserve ; the Fifth Corps, from Malancourt to Vauquois, with the 79th, 37th, and 91st Divisions in line and the 32nd Division as Corps reserve ; from Vau- quois-le-Chateau, the 1st Corps, with the 35th, 28th, and 77th Divisions in line and the 92nd as Corps reserve. The Army reserve consisted of the 1st, 29th, and 82nd Divisions. It has been said that the original plan called for turning move- ments by all the divisions with the right division as the pivot — in other words, to literally push the enemy across the river, the French meanwhile pushing up on the right bank. In its execution the plan was not worked out in all its details. General Order No. 54, Fourth Division, of September 24th, pro- viding for the disposition of the Division in the impending attack, read in part as follows : ''This Division will attack the hostile posi- tions between the Ran des Forges and the Bois de Foret, exploit its successes by advancing northward from the Bois de Foret and or- ganize for defense that portion of the west bank of the Meuse from Brieulles-sur-Meuse (inclusive) to Sassey-sur-Meuse (exclusive). "Push the attack vigorously regardless of the advance of divisions on its right and left to the corps objective, where it will halt and await (if necessary) the arrival, at the corps objective, of either the right or center division of the Fifth Corps. Thereafter the advance will again be pushed independently of other divisions to the American Army objective. Upon arrival at this line it will be promptly organ- ized for defense by construction of entrenchments grouped into strong points and echeloned in depth. Lines of observation and resistance will be provided. The left flank will receive special attention. "The division will assist (if necessary) the division on its left by turning Montfaucon; not by an advance into the area of the division on its left, but by steady progression to the front and energetic action by the left combat group of liaison or by reserves, against detach- ments on the left flank." 62 The order further provided for the Seventh Brigade to constitute the attacking element, with the Eighth Brigade in support. Both attacking infantry regiments, the Forty-seventh and Thirty-ninth, were to be echeloned in depth — one battalion in assault, one in support, and the third in reserve. Upon arrival at the corps objective the Forty-sexenth was ordered to place two battalions in the front line, the other battalion previously assigned as reserve to constitute the new regimental support and to revert to the command of the regimental commander. The rate of advance was to be one hundred meters in four minutes to the hostile intermediate position, following the capture of which there was to be a halt for thirt}- minutes. From that time on until the other objective was reached the rate of advance was to be one htmdred meters in three minutes. At the hostile intermediate posi- tion the assaulting battalions were to be relieved by the support battalions which were to pass through to the front. A machine gun company, a battery of "75's" and the regimental one-pounder and Stokes Mortar platoons were placed at the disposal of the commander of the assaulting battalion. The men carried two days' rations and no packs, two canteens of water, two bandoliers of ammunition, and an incendiary grenade in addition to the ordinary offensive grenade. Meanwhile all officers of the regiment had been allotted definite tasks by the regimental commander at an officers" meeting. With thousands of guns of all calibers in action, what was con- sidered to be the most terrific barrage of the war up luitil that time began at two o'clock on the morning of September 26th. For three hours the incessant din continued and at five o'clock the First Amer- ican Army's assaulting wave had leaped to the attack. Literally dazed and visibly disheartened by the tremendous artillery preparation, the Germans offered feeble, if any, opposition on the front over which the Forty-seventh was advancing. The barrage, which has been called the "Million Dollar Barrage," poured a destructive tire on the enemy front and rear positions until five o'clock and after that time, continuing to advance live hundred meters at a time, at intervals of 63 twenty minutes for the next two hours. It was also said to Ije tlic most rapidly advancing barrage known in the world war. The Second Battalion of the Forty-seventh was designated to take off at the start of the gigantic offensive with the Third Battalion in support, and the First Battalion (less one company) in reserve. The other company of the First Battalion was ordered to mop up. For the Second Battalion, Companies G and F were designated for the assault, with Companies E and H in support. For kilometer after kilometer little or no resistance was met and the advance continued until nine-thirty when the regiment halted for half an hour near Cuisy. Here the Third Battalion leap-frogged the Second Battalion, which then continued the advance as the support battalion. The First Battalion was on the right of the Third, Com- panies B and D in front with outposts, and Companies C and A in support. That night Company C moved into the front. Of the Third Battalion, Companies I, K, and L were in the attacking wave, with Company M in support. The regiment pushed on to the Bois de Septsarges with only slight casualties. Here it was held up until the unit on the left overcame stubborn resistance in its sector. The Forty- seventh remained in that position during the remainder of the day and night. The Machine Gun Company was attached to the Third Battalion. Machine gun nests constituted the principal enemy re- sistance up to this point. During the first day the weather was ex- cellent although the visibility was low on account of the smoke from the intense barrage. Germans who were captured during the early part of the day seemed dazed and apparently did not know in Avhich direction they were going or what they were doing. From Nantillois and Montfaucon on the left the regiment suffered somewhat from en- filading fire, although not so much as on the following day. The Ger- mans were said to have two divisions of machine gunners in the vicinity of Montfaucon. Upon reaching the corps objective on the preceding day, the Second Battalion had gone in on the left and the First Battalion on the right of the Third Battalion. The entire regiment then dug in for the night. At nine o'clock on the morning of September 27th, the 64 regiment again went over the top and in the face of machine gun and artillery fire proceeded to the Bois de Fays, gaining about five kilo- meters by six o'clock the same evening. The Bois de Fays was heavily defended by machine guns and the regiment once more dug in for protection. Rain had fallen intermittently from early in the morning and the men lay in their fox holes until four o'clock the following morning, when they were relieved by the Fifty-ninth In- fantry. The Forty-seventh then drew back in reserve to the Bois de Septsarges, where it remained the following day and until October 3rd, being under shell fire all the while. The Germans had had a training camp in the Bois de Septsarges and the Bois de Brieulles during their long occupancy. In a building which they had used as a moving picture theater they had placed a nest of eight machine guns. On the night of October 3rd the regiment relieved the Fifty-ninth Infantry in the Bois de Brieulles. The latter unit, which had pre- viously relieved the Forty-seventh, had advanced the front line about one hundred yards in the interim and had cleaned up the surrounding woods of enemy snipers and machine gun nests. On October 4th the First American Army moved forward once more, but the enemy put up such a stifif front from the heights of the Meuse just across the river from the Bois de Brieulles that the advance in that direction was necessarily slow and painful. For the next fifteen days the Forty-seventh was actively engaged in the front lines with a determined enemy, cunning enough to leave the town of Brieulles unoccupied during the daytime but defending it strongly at night. The Germans were entrenched strongly on the heights of the Meuse and had a strong intermediate position in the Trench de Teton until they withdrew from that position on the night of October 9th. From Brieulles to the Bois de Fays there were shallow enemy trenches protected by a fairly thick belt of wire. The German units identified in front of the Americans were the 236th Division, the Fifth Pioneer Storm Battalion, the Fifth Bavarian Reserve Division, to- gether with a sprinkling of other units. In his desperation, the enemy took fragmentary units out of his lines elsewhere and threw them 65 apparently at random into the Argonne fighting in an elTort to stop the American advance, the danger from which he well sensed. October 6th was unusually quiet, both enemy machine guns and artillery being less active than at any time during the action. Con- siderable movement northward was reported the following day, with enemy machine guns still more quiet. Except for occasional activity on the part of machine guns and snipers October 9th was also quiet. Rain fell during the night, adding to the discomfort of the men. Enemy aviators dropped several hundred bombs on back areas during the night. Stubborn fighting characterized the following day in other parts of the corps sector. The same was true of the succeeding day, important terrain being won. Meanwhile, except for patrols, the Forty-seventh had confined itself to making itself as comfortable as possible. Enemy activity was also confined largely to patrolling. One patrol from Company B sufifered severely on October 7th in front of the Trench de Teton. The Germans withdrew from the trench that night, falling back to the Martinvaux trenches, leaving the impression that a further withdrawal was imminent. This proved unfounded, however. Hostile artillery began to be active once more. On October 11th other troops of the division succeeded in penetrating the Bois de Foret and spent the following day consolidating their positions. The Germans eventually tried to dislodge them — but without success. The superiority of American artillery over the enemy became more and more manifest, efir'ective counter-battery work being done. The enemy's back areas were elTectively searched out. The terrific German barrages which had followed the attacks at Sergy and St. Thibaut were conspicuous by their absence before Brieulles. On Oc- tober 12th the enemy artillery threw upwards of one thousand shells. American artillery played heavily on the Bois de Foret just before noon. About twice as many enemy shells came over during the suc- ceeding twenty-four hours and the Germans were more active. To- ward the middle of the afternoon an enemy barrage was directed on the Bois de Foret which was followed by machine gun activity be- 66 g c c bt'" I o o '^ '^- -Si a r £ 3 S^ tj S o g-.o s o .So ■" S o == -M -^ +^ rf s.t: p. c m3-S2 c Q o "^§?

On the night of October 12th a ])atrol from Company I went to within fifty yards of Brieulles, l)ut could see nothino- in the town except a few small fires burning. A patrol from Company K made a similar report. Intermittent enemy artillery acti\ity occurred during the night. Brieulles was entered on the following night by another Company I patrol and was again found to be deserted. On the way back an enemy patrol was seen making its way back to Brieulles. Boche snipers were active during the day. The German artillery threw over barrages lasting from twenty minutes to an hour and a half during the afternoon and following morning. The enemy also showed in- creased aerial activity. Bad weather served to make for inactivity on both sides during the succeeding few days. The German artillery was slightly active. Companies I and K sent out patrols on the night of October 15th which had nothing in particular to report. Snipers fired on a Com- pany L patrol on the following night about midnight. On the 15th the First Battalion reported considerable activity by enemy machine gunners. A moderately heavy enemy barrage was sent over about one-twenty in the afternoon. A Company D patrol reported being fired upon during the night. A Company A patrol which went to the sotithern and western edges of Brieulles the following night re- ported it heavily defended by machine guns and reported the loss of one man. The same was true of October 17th, patrols being fired, upon by machine gunners. Harassing enemy artillery fire occurred during the day. The enemy did not show himself to any great extent all the time the holding action continued. Occasionally individual Germans would be seen for a moment — but as a rule they kept their movements well screened. The patrols which went out at night could hear the enemy talking across the river. Several ammunition dumps were exploded by friendly artillery. The Second Battalion had held a front line position for two days. On October 12th it had been sent to the right of the Second Battalion of the Thirty-ninth Infantry in the Bois de Malaumont. Two days 68 later it was relieved by the First Battalion of the Sixty-first Infantry and was placed in reserve in the Bois de Fays. The First Battalion was relieved at five a. m. October 19th, by the Thirtieth Infantry. Meanwhile, Company M of the Third Battalion had also been in reserve in the Bois de Fays, and with the Second Battalion was re- lieved on October 18th at seven-thirty p. m., by the Third Battalion of the Thirty-eighth Infantry. The troops proceeded by marching to the Bois de Septsarges where the regiment was reformed, all of the companies going to the Bois de Hesse, arriving there about two o'clock on the afternoon of October 19th, the distance being about six- teen kilometers. From then on for some days the regiment marched by night and rested and policed by day. On October 21st the regiment marched from the Bois de Hesse to the Bois de Sivry, about sixteen kilometers. Ippicourt was the objective the next day and lay fifteen kilometers dis- tant. On October 23rd the regiment marched to Benoitvaux, fifteen kilometers. On the following day \^illotte was the objective, the dis- tance again being fifteen kilometers. From there the Forty-seventh moved to the Bois de Vadonville, twenty kilometers away. The regimental rest area was reached the following da}- — the First Battalion, Headquarters Company, and the Supply Company, being billeted in Aulnois ; the Second Battalion and the Machine Gun Com- pany in Cornieville ; and the Third Battalion in Vertuzey. The next three days w'ere spent in resting and policing up, with some drill on October 29th. The final two days of the month witnessed a renewal of active training. In twenty-six days in the front line the Forty-seventh had again done more than its share in the stern fighting in the Argonne. True enough the advances were made almost entirely in the first two days of the general engagement ; but with the Fourth Division reaching the Army objective first, the Forty-seventh was exposed to flanking fire on either side while it was engaged in beating down enemy oppo- sition so that other units could advance more easily. Once arrived at the Army objective there w-as nothing to do but to hold grimly on to positions attained. Once more it developed into a holding action for 69 the regiment. It was retained in tlie front line during tlie first two phases of the action and finally ga\e way to a fresh division to recup- erate and to receive replacements. Once more it had suft'ered heavy casualties in proving anew its fighting qualities. THE END OF THE WAR During the first nine days of November, the situation remained unchanged except that Colonel Troy H. Middleton. who had been a captain when he reported to the regiment for dtity late in 1917, re- placed Colonel R. H. Peck, as regimental commander. Upwards of four hundred men and several ofificers took a well-earned vacation at Le Mont Dore in the Auvergne leave area at this time. In the in- terim there had been rumors of an armistice and an early peace, but the regiment held grimly to its training. In the field the Argonne ofifensive bore greater and greater results and the Americans were within sight of their goal at Sedan, ultimately cutting the railway at that point. In the north, where other Americans were fighting side by side with the British, the Allied forces were sweeping through the Belgian country and were even beginning to threaten the enemy's sole remaining line of communications. To ofi^set the losses in officers and men suffered in the Argonne, seventy new officers, many of them just out of the Army Candidates' School at Langres, and others newly arrived in France from the United States, and twelve hundred and twenty-eight enlisted men were added to the regiment. The effective strength was 115 ofificers and twenty-seven hundred fifty men by the middle of November. Before many of these replacements arrived, however, the regiment w^as suddenly ordered to the front once more. Early on Sunday morn- ing, November 10th, the Forty-seventh set out for a point in reserve in the Metz sector. Starting at half past five in the morning the regi- ment marched to the town of Montsec, in the old St. Mihiel salient, battered and in ruins from earlier fighting, and rested there an hour at noon. Before the kitchens could prepare a meal the column was ordered forward again and marched until after three o'clock in the afternoon when the Bois de la Belle Oziere was reached and the troops 70 prei)are(l to l)i\()uac for the night. All night long they were within sound of intense artillery activity. On the following morning a wireless message was received from Corps headcjuarters stating" that the armistice was to go into efifect at eleven o'clock that morning. The men were doubtful at first, but when the of^cial announcement was made to all organizations from brigade headquarters, they yelled and cheered as only Americans can. As eleven o'clock drew near all eyes were on the watches and promptly on the hour the firing stopped. It seemed too good to be true. Lest the high spirits of the men result in mishaps, an order was issued strictly prohibiting the discharge of firearms. That night the woods were aglow with camp fires, the first open fires the area had known in over four years. For the first time in all these weary months there was no danger of enemy planes dropping bombs. There were songs and laughter — and above all there was peace to replace the tension of war. How near it came to going into action again the Forty-seventh was not aware at the time. But it became known later that the Second American Army, recently formed, and to which the Forty-seventh Infantry had been attached, was scheduled to start a new drive toward the Briey basin within a comparatively few hours after hostilities ceased. It was said that the regiment, then in reserve within nine or ten kilometers of the front lines when the last shot was fired, was scheduled to go over the top in the new drive. But the fighting days of the Forty-seventh were over, at least for the time being, and it was content with the knowledge that it had done its tasks well — that its men had died as bravely as they had fought and in the war that had embroiled the whole world the regiment had won a fair name. Two days later the Forty-seventh was returned to its recent train- ing area. Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Company, and the Second Battalion marched to Vignot; the First Battalion and the Machine Gun Company to Aulnois; and the Third Battalion to Ver- tuzey again. There the task was to prepare for the march into Lor- raine, Luxemburg, and Germany, as part of the American Army of Occupation. 71 V. THE WATCH ON THE RHINE TRAVELING three hundred and sixty kilometers in sixteen march- ing days was the feat performed by the Forty-seventh Infantry in moving from France into occupied territory to the west of Coblenz in Germany. The regiment passed through the plain of the Woevre — the heart of the St. Mihiel salient — in France, through the south- eastern corner of Luxemburg, and through Rhenish Prussia into the Eifel tableland — there once more to start active training just before the first of the new year. Over good roads and bad roads, in all kinds of weather, stopping here and there for a day or so, the regiment began to move on No- vember 20th with the rest of the Seventh Brigade. Twenty-five days later the movement was completed with an indisputably excellent record for the march and for the general physical condition of the men. Leaving its area near Commercy on the morning of November 20th, the column headed northward and was soon in the old St. Mihiel salient, this time on the western side of Montsec. Eighteen kilometers constituted the first day's march, the regiment bivouacking for the night in the open at Buxerelles. Crossing what had been the front lines at the termination of hostilities a few days before, the following day's march was one of the hardest of the entire trip. The start was not made until afternoon, and when the men were within a few kilometers of the scheduled stopping place for the night a sudden change in orders resulted in their marching until nine-thirty that night. On the first day the troops had passed through the eastern edge of ruined Apremont, Woinville, and Buxerelles. On November 21st they left Buxieres, Heudicourt, Vigneulles-les-Hattonchattel, Hattonville, Billy-sous-les-Cotes, St. Maurice, Woel, Jonville, and Braiuville behind. Some distance to the north of Woel the French lines lay, with the German positions just beyond to the south of Jonville. 72 The regiment was originally scheduled to stop at Jonville for the night, but the reason assigned for the change in plans was to prevent accidents from mines, a number of casualties having occurred to American troops passing through on the preceding day. So for hour after hour the men dragged their weary feet on and on until it seemed that the limit of their endurance had been reached. But the final halt was not made until the further edge of Brainville was reached. There, after the kitchens had come up, all of the men were served with a hot meal and all three battalions pitched their pup tents and went to sleep in the open just off a camouflaged road. In hoping for a respite on the following day the men were dis- appointed. At six o'clock they were wakened, made up their packs, they breakfasted, and were once more on the road to the northeast. The official distance from Buxerelles to Brainville was given as thirty- three kilometers, while on the following day the men covered twenty- one kilometers. Until this time the route of march led through a vast plain with an occasional gentle slope. On all sides were ample evidences of the hasty evacuation of the Germans, who had left only a few days before. Helmets, "potato masher" grenades, and the like, littered the roads and the buildings wherever the troops went at this time. From Brainville the regiment marched to Briey. Had the war continued it would have been one of the goals of the American forces. Late on the afternoon of November 22nd the Forty-seventh entered the town, once more with the expectation of resting for a day or two. Billets recently evacuated by the Germans were occupied in Briey. Grenades, dynamite caps, and explosives of every description, were scattered throughout the billets - — which were filthy beyond description. Before the men could safely go to sleep a search had to be made for all explosives. The order to march came early on the following morning and the day's movement brought the troops through hilly, densely wooded country across what was the legal Franco-German boundary into German Lorraine.

Fourth of July was celebrated in thorough fashion l)y burlesque parades in the morning in \^allendar and Riibenach. A circus and midway, all of home talent, featured the afternoon at the former town. Pyrotechnics, wdiich a year before would have called down barrages on the Germans, were used as a spectacular finale to the evening, after a vaudeville show at the Y. M. C. A. Prizes were given for the most striking and original costumes. Genuine regret pervaded the entire regiment before the first week of the new month was over when word came that Colonel Middleton was to precede his troops. The regimental commander, who had been a Captain when he went overseas with the Forty-seventh, had made an unusually brilliant showing, and had been advanced rapidly to the grades of Battalion Commander, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel. The latter grade had been conferred upon him by telegraphic order from American General Headquarters for gallantry in action. Recog- nized as one of the finest of the younger regimental commanders the war had produced he was ordered at once to Camp Penning, Colum- bus, Georgia, for duty with the new Infantry School of Arms. Just before his departure Colonel Middleton was the recipient of the Dis- tinguished Service Medal as well as an individual citation at the hands of the division commander for conspicuous bravery in action. Lieutenant Colonel Manton C. Mitchell, formerly of the Thirty-ninth Infantry, assumed command of the regiment on July 7th. Following the receipt of definite entraining orders the First Bat- talion moved out in the first train on the afternoon of July 9th, Major Burke being the train commander. This train was followed several hours later by the Second Battalion, with Major Bayler in charge of the troops. At noon on the following day the Third Battalion en- trained, Major Anderson being in command. Regimental Head- quarters, Headquarters and Machine Gun Companies and one of the companies of the Second Battalion were on the last train. As train commander. Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell with the last troops moved out late in the afternoon of July 10th. 90 The trains were composed of twenty-four American box cars, each large enougii to accommodate approximately forty-five men. A kitchen car was placed in the middle of the train. A German coach for the oflficers and a steel box car containing wooden bunks for the ofificers were placed at the head of the train. The trip required on an average of seventy-two hours. The route was north to Cologne, west through Liege, Namur and Mons — Bel- gian cities rich in memories of the first and last days of the war. Then through Flanders and Picardy — Valenciennes, Douai, Arras, and Amiens — all British strongholds through weary months of trench warfare — to Rouen on the Seine and finally to Brest. The Second Battalion passed the First en route. Arrived at Brest it was the work of but a few minutes to get the troops started on their way to Camp Pontanezen, famous alike for its association with Napoleon and for mud-slinging in Congress as the result of alleged deficiencies in the winter and spring of 1918-1919. Property and physical checks were again the order of the day — all officers and men being inspected for the elusive cootie. The enlisted men were given complete changes of clothinig. Accommodations for officers and men at this noted camp, by far the most important base port in the A. E. F., were ample while the Forty-seventh was there. The men were quartered in barracks where they slept in double-deck bunks. Duckboards ran everywhere. Sani- tary conditions were better for troops than the regiment saw anywhere else in Europe. Food was plentiful and practically all the men had to do was to eat. All of the troops having arrived by Sunday, July 13, rapid prog- ress was made in getting them through the routine details of embark- ation. Camp authorities professed to be ignorant as to how soon the unit could expect to board ship and as to what transport would be available. But with the delousing and physical check out of the way, the regiment passed by the camp medical authorities, and with the necessary personnel work completed, it was not surprising that the embarkation order should soon come. 91 At noon on Tuesday, July 15, Lieutenant Cukjnel ^litchell re- ceived an order directing him to take an achance party of officers and men and the First Battalion aboard the U. S. Naval Transport "Mo- bile," within a few hours. The same instructions named the regi- mental commander as troop commander for the transport and desig- nated the rest of the regiment to embark on the following day. A number of officers and men were dropped at Brest. Among the unfortunates were several small details who were left Ijchind to close up towns recently occupied by the regiment and to re])resent the regiment with its colors in the magnificent celebration in Paris on Bastille Day, and later in London. Several of the men were taken sick at the last minute and had to be dropped from the ship's roster. On the other hand. Lieutenant Colonel Edward Bittel, who had been at the Inter-Allied riflle and pistol competitions as a member of the American team, rejoined the regiment at Brest and accompanied it home. The "Mobile" proved to be the former "Cleveland" of the Ham- burg-American line which had been used in 'round-the-world tours. She had been idle through the war and had been turned over to the Allies late in the winter in accordance with the terms of the armistice. Some 5,100 passengers and a crew of 400 were aboard her when she got under way in the early evening of July sixteenth. In addition to the Forty-seventh Infantry, the Tenth Machine Gun Battalion was aboard intact. To complete the troop personnel were hundreds of casuals, including Brigadier General Dugan of the Fifth Division, and nearly a score of Colonels, members of the General Staff, who were being returned to the United States. Not the least interesting among the thousands of passengers were one hundred and thirty-eight war brides whom officers and men were taking back to the United States. Most of the brides were French and Luxemburgeoise by birth, with a few Russian, Italian, Bulgarian, and Scotch. Brest harbor was full of transports as the regiment boarded the "Mobile" which lay well out in the roadstead. Ferries were utilized to embark the troops. Once aboard the men were soon assigned to 92 quarters forward and aft and quite similar to those they had experi- enced coming- over. The ship's capacity was taxed for space. Loading of last-minute baggage delayed the "Mobile's" departure which had been scheduled for noon. AVith the last of it aboard little time was lost in setting the ship in motion. Within two hours under a gray sky the last of the rocky Brittany coast was fast slipping over the rim of the starboard horizon. And so the Forty-seventh bade farewell to France. But anticipation rather than retrospection filled the days at hand. There were endless details necessary to run the ship properly. Under the watchful eye of the ship's officers the big task of feeding so many men in such small cjuarters was handled expeditiously. To prepare for the paper work certain to develop at Hoboken, the ship's personnel officer was busy with troop records during the entire voyage. The days were uneventful. The "Mobile" proved to be somewhat slow although quite comfortable. The weather was good with the exception of two days wdien the rollers were high and flying spray from the combers drenched the port side of B deck and reached even to the boat deck. But few ships were seen until the last two days of the voyage, although the now-famous "Leviathan" was sighted the morning after the "Mobile" left port. To provide amusement and recreation there were deck games and movie shows and boxing, while the band was called on every morning and afternoon. In the evening there was dancing for both officers and men, the mess halls being turned over to the latter. Wel- fare workers in abundance were on hand, together with Red Cross nurses and the ever-present brides. In the teeth of what was almost a gale and with every point of vantage crowded with "OD'' the "Mobile" nosed her way into lower New York bay late in the evening of Jnly 26th. The first lights from the Long Island shore were visible about half past seven. In the gathering darkness the ship, brilliantly lighted (l)ut with the men not so outwardly jubilant as one might have expected), slowly main- tained her headway for about three hours, letting go her anchor with 93 be " s M S S 7; 9^ ^ f= i^ a ^ 4) o ii rn 3 yj IE ft* /U 1>^ 5^ «2 "Se .J CC tt ti *^ ''' M W M --I !M 'C « ^ PQ CO c ci ^ rt M ^ M ■? § ^ K U W u u 0) to to ,--< ,r; « 1) „• >s ^ ■u ^ « 4: Sam 1-1 a «^ cu 5 '5 "So >-5 j- S §<^^ ^ : '^ ^ M dj p; ^ ^ § O M O ffl O 0^ -3 1* <" 33 3 m c5 OJ 3 ^ ^ C c X c« ■-^ ■;:; C -" C '-J to _ S ^ ^ 3 J .2S2aartiji)0.i;.2 ^ u o 5 d o O ci OJ O -H S Si c ^ .Si >. t; o o c •-■ c I' o c 3g32'Srt.5q--=« PHPQSS-3 tephe] rosby ug-ler ilroy ostre- 0) tf fc 'Jio nl4K M ^ o ^ a S ;?

Unbeknown to all saAe a few, a case of smallpox was disco\ered among the ship's crew the first day out of Brest, one of the Filipino attendants in the officers' mess being the victim. He and his two or three bunkmates were quickly isolated. The case proved to be light and the contacts failed to develop, but there was still some uncertainty as to how the authorities at quarantine would view the situation. Lying in the lee of Staten Island with the yellow flag of quaran- tine flying from her forward masthead the "Mobile" was held until late the next morning. It was finally decided that the entire ship's company, including crew and troops, would have to be vaccinated. The brides were immunized before the ship weighed anchor. Just before the "Mobile" headed back up the bay. the tides having swung her around during the night, the "Martha \\"ashington," which had left Brest the day after the "Mobile," passed the latter transport, much to the consternation of the Forty-seventh. But the "Martha Washington" slowed down well below the Statue of Liberty and the "Mobile" was the first to dock at the former Hamburg-American line docks at Hoboken which had been taken over for army transport use. Shortly after noon the big transport was cleared of her recent passengers who passed in long lines upstairs over the dock to a meal which consisted of wieners and sauerkraut, buns, coffee, and brick ice cream. From there the troops were headed back downstairs to an- other portion of the dock to await railroad ferries which presently bore them down the river and through the East river under three of the four huge bridges to the Long Island railway station. In order to effect the immediate vaccination of the entire person- nel the troops had been transferred at the last minute from Camp Merritt to Camp Mills, being under semi-quarantine at the latter place until the vaccination was deemed satisfactory. The camp was reached about four o'clock Sunday afternoon. Barracks were ready and even supper was waiting. The task of vaccinating all officers and men was begun at once and was continued far into the night. 96 Camp Mills was found to be greatly improved during the fifteen months that had elapsed since the regiment passed through it on its way overseas. In place of the tents permanent barracks, with ample provision for light and water, had been erected. The f<:)od also proved to be of excellent cjuantity and quality. Disintegration of the regiment proceeded rapidly on paper. Of- ficers and men were first separated into two groups, one of them in- cluding those who were remaining in the army, and the other those who sought immediate separation. The latter were further assorted according to the camps where they were to be discharged. Before this occurred, however, an event took place which left a deep impression on the entire regiment. To celebrate the first anniversary of the first engagement in which the regiment participated and to give vent to their feelings at being once more on American soil and within sight of their own homes and firesides, the entire day of July 29th was given o\er to the regiment. In the afternoon there was a ball game between the First and Third Battalion teams, the latter winning easily. But the big event took })lace in the evening. Forming at a quarter to seven and marching almost solemnly, fully realizing that it was the last time the regiment would be formed as sucli, the battalions swung down toward the center of camp in column of squads. Jammed tightly in three sides of a hollow square they first witnessed a bicycle rider loop-the-loop. They then marched to the big auditorium to witness an excellent carnival which had been turned over to the regiment for the evening. Following the excellent program. Major Burke, of the First Bat- talion, as chairman of the committee in charge of the afifair, called upon Colonel Mitchell, who, with his wife and son, was present, to address the men. The commanding officer was given an enthusiastic reception. He spoke briefly of what the regiment had accomplished and of the traditions the men must live up to. He declared his belief that the public would never hear anything but good of the men who had made the regiment what it was, and expressed his appreciation on behalf of the officers for what the enlisted men had done and the spirit 97 they had shown in all their months of ser\ice. Captain Gustave J. Braun, commanding Company I, and one of the enlisted men from the First Battalion, both of whom had won Distinguished Service Crosses, were then called ui)on to tell anew of Sergy, wdiere the Forty- seventh had had its real baptism of fire just a year previous. Through the courtesy of the Red Cross hundreds of dollars' worth of candy and tobacco was distributed to the men. As a finale to the day's celebration there was all the ice cream the men could eat. It was a fitting farewell. Early the next morning the dissolution of the regiment began. Only a few score were left to form the skeleton of the new regiment which would be built up at Camp Dodge, Iowa, where the Fourth Division was to have its headquarters. Many of the officers and men who were to go to Camp Dodge left at once on leaves and furloughs. The skeleton remnant of the regiment left in two trains for Camp Dodge on the afternoon of July 31st. Having participated in all three of the major engagements in which the American armies were concerned, and with a casualty list of two thousand seven hundred and forty-seven officers and men killed, wounded, and captured, of the five thousand three hundred and thirty who were in battle with the regiment, the record of the Forty- seventh is mute but powerful testimony of the full share it had in accomplishing those ends for which the United States entered the war. Forty-four Distinguished Service Crosses, three Croix de Guerres, seven Italian War Crosses, and a Distinguished Service Medal, besides several score individual citations tell only in part of the gallantry and fortitude of the rank and file of the regiment, than whom there could be no finer body of men. 98 SUPPLEMENT HONORS WON BY THE FORTY-SEVENTH AS A UNIT General orders citing the meritorious work of the United States divisions in action in the fighting in the Chateau-Thierry sector in July and August were shared by the Forty-seventh Infantry. Like honors were officially awarded for the fighting in the Argonne Forest in both Corps and G. H. Q. citations. The Fourth Division was cited by General Pershing for its showing in the St. IMihiel operations also. The citation of the division by the Corps Commander, Major General Robert Bullard, for its work in the Argonne fighting will stand out as having made the greatest impression on the personnel of the regiment, however. It follows: HEADQUARTERS, 3rd ARMY CORPS American E. F., France. October 5, 1918. General Orders No. 29. 2. The Corps Commander, in General Orders, cites the gallant conduct of the 4th Division, especially the 7th and 8th Infantry Brigades in the seizure against great difificulties, of the Bois de Fays and the holding of it against repeated and determined counter-attacks between September 26th and October 5th. You are there. Stay there. By command of Major General Bullard. A. W. BJORNSTAD, Brigadier General, G. S., Chief of Stafif. HEADQUARTERS IV ARMY CORPS American Expeditionary Forces, Germany. April 11, 1919. From: Assistant Chief of Stafif G-3, IV Corps. To: Lt. Col. Tipton, G-3, 4th Division. Subject: March discipline in 4th Division. 1. During a tour of inspection today a battalion of the 13th Field Artillery was encountered on the road between Ndr. Breisig and Sinzig, and two Bat- talions, the Machine Gun Company, and Headquarters Company of the 47th Infantry were encountered on the road between Sinzig and Neuenahr. It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the march discipline in these units was absolutely perfect. I took the occasion to congratulate the Majors com- manding the battalions and Colonel Middleton on the discipline shown by their troops. In all my experience, as an infantry soldier and officer, I have never seen such perfect march discipline, such perfect appearance shown by any troops with which I have come in contact, as that shown by the 47th Infantrv today.

The following letter from the Commanding General, 4tli Division, to the Commanding General, 7th Infantrj' Brigade, is published: Subject: Inspection of Animal Transport by Colonel Richmond. The Division Commander learns with pride and pleasure that the animal drawn transport of the 47th Infantry at the official inspection made yesterday by Colonel Richmond from G. H. Q. was rated "excellent;" of the many divi- sions so far inspected in the A. E. F., this is one of the three thus rated. That every other Infantry Regiment at least thinks they could have made an equally good showing adds to this rating and in nowise detracts from the appreciation. Thanks and congratulations are due Colonel Middleton and officers and enlisted men of the 47th Infantry in upholding the reputation of the 4th Division. (Signed) MARK L. HERSEY, Major General, U. S. A. By command of Brigadier General Poore: F. H. HAYES, Major, Infantry, Brigade Adjutant. HEADQUARTERS 4th DIVISION American Expeditionary Forces, Germany. March 11, 1919. Memorandum No. 26.

KEARXS, THOMAS W., First Lieutenant. For extraordinary heroism near Sergy, France, July 29th and 30th, 1918, when an encounter was impend- ing, he successively carried fifteen wounded men across a shell-swept area in full view of the enemy, taking them to a place of safety and preventing them from being captured by the enemy. Later he reorganized groups of stragglers and led them into combat. KOSS (2004446), I\LAX S., Private, Co. K. For extraordinary heroism in action near St. Thibaut, France, August S-9, 1918. Private Koss volunteered to patrol the valley along the railroad tracks north of St. Thibaut for the pur- pose of locating machine gun nests. He was wounded early in the morning, but he remained in the valle}' until the next night, securing information for which he was sent, and killing two Germans. LIMOX (2268298), JOE, Private, Co. M. This man was wounded on a scouting mission at St. Thibaut, on August 10, 1918. He remained in obser- vation until he gained the information for which he had been sent. Upon re- turning from this mission his wound was dressed and he was directed by the surgeon to get on the ambulance and go to the hospital. Instead he reported to his battalion commander stating he wished to remain on duty. After that he was sent on two occasions to gain liaison with the French regiment on our left. He did this in the most efTfective and praiseworthy manner, each time bringing back most valuable information of the enemy and of our neighboring troops. Upon two voluntary and self-appointed missions he crawled along the Vesle River west of Bazoches and located a minenwerfer emplacement and a heavj^ mortar emplacement from which the enemy was firing heavih' on the French troops on our left. LIXDAHL (558271), LUTHER E., Sergeant, Co. I. During the battle of August 8, 1918, Sergeant Lindahl handled his men with exceptional coolness and bravery w'hile under machine gun and artillery fire.

GEORGE C., First Lieutenant. On August 7-9, 1918, during the crossing of the Vesle River, stood breast deep in the swift current and brought two platoons of Company H and one of Company G safely across, at great personal hazard; was dragged into the river twice by drowning men, but broke loose from them and brought them to shore: thereafter was conspicu- ousl}' present wherever danger threatened, steadying his command, and was wounded just before his company was relieved. McCLELLAN, ARNO S.. Second Lieutenant. August 1, 1918, at Sergy. France, this officer led his platoon fearlessly, in locating and attacking and driving out German machine guns, thus enabling his company (B) to advance to the most forward position. He also led a combat patrol to the front, driving in opposing snipers and preceding the advance of the company. Later, when this company was forced to retire to a more sheltered line, Lieutenant McClel- lan with one private, remained in an exposed position and enabled b}- his accurate fire of an auto-rifle enabled the company' to withdraw without further losses. MURDOCK, ROBERT H., First Lieutenant, M. C. For repeated acts of extraordinary heroism in action at Sergy, France, July 29-31, 1918, and at St. Thibaut, France, August 6-12, 1918. Accompanj-ing his battalion in the attack at Sergj' he advanced for more than a mile under heavj- shell fire and as soon as the southern half of the town had been taken he established his dressing station, maintaining it during the three da3's of fighting under constant and severe bombardment. When his battalion went into action at St. Thibaut this faithful ofificer again displayed heroic devotion to duty by working in his dressing station under the most trying conditions for six days while the town was bombarded with gas and high explosive shells. OSBORN (558182), MORTON, Sergeant, Co. H. On August 7-9, 1918, Vesle River, southeast of Bazoches, France, displaj'ed rare qualities of leader- ship and judgment in the control of his platoon under heavy rifle fire and machine gun fire; was wounded in head and shoulder; but rejoined his platoon when wounds had been dressed and remained with it until command was re- lieved. PRATT, JOHX H., JR., Second Lieutenant. For extraordinary heroism in action near Bazoches, France, August 7-9, 1918.

Under heavy fire he made three exceptionally hazardous trips with messages of vital importance, when other means of communication had failed: volun- teering for this service. RITCHIE (562140), E. D., Private, Co. M. For extraordinary heroism in action near St. Thibaut, France, 10th August, 1918. While on an outpost near the Vesle River Private Ritchie volunteered to accompany Corporal John S. Weimer in rescuing a wounded soldier who had been left by members of a patrol in a shell hole some distance to the front. Under fire from machine guns and snipers Private Ritchie and Corporal Weimer proceeded to the shell hole and found the wounded man who was unable to walk. Suggesting that the three of them in a group would make a more conspicuous target for the eneni}'.

VANN, JOHN C, Second Lieutenant. On August 7, 1918, crossed the Vesle River with leading platoons of Company H, 47th Infantry, and advanced with them to the National Highway, which was their objective, despite heavy losses; was slightly wounded but kept the men of the platoon from finding it out; held on to advanced position until ordered to withdraw slightly and change direction of his attack; executed the movement with exceptional skill and coolness; refused to be evacuated until severely wounded a second time. WARFIELD (557740), ARTHUR H., Sergeant, Co. B. For extraordinary heroism in action at Sergy, France, August 1, 1918.

(Copy of Citation.) HEADQUARTERS, 7th INFANTRY BRIGADE American Expeditionary Forces. France, September 2, 1918. General Orders No. 13. 1. On Jul}' 2.3, 1918, at Mosloy, France, Private H. W. Bitner, Headquarters Company, 47th Infantry, seized and threw from a wagon a hand grenade, the fuse of which had become accidentally ignited. At the same time the horses attached to the wagon, which was loaded with grenades and other ammunition, became frightened and started to run, but they were prevented by Private Bitner. There were several officers and men in the immediate vicinity of the wagon at the time, and Private Bitner's prompt action and excellent judgment exercised at the immediate risk of his own life, undoubtedly saved them from death or serious injury. 2. It is such acts as these that distinguish the true American soldier, who loses all thought of himself when others are in danger or when duty calls. The Brigade Commander takes pleasure and pride in communicating the cir- cumstances to the brigade, and in expressing to Private Bitner his appreciation of these brave acts. 3. A copy of this order will be furnished to Private Bitner, and the order will be read in each organization of this brigade at the first formation after its receipt. By command of Brigadier General Poore: (Signed) A. D. FALCONER, Major, Q. M. C, Adjutant. Late in June word was received to the effect that Sergeant WALTER DETROW (2110211), of Co. B, who was killed in action in October in the Argonne, and who had been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross post- humously, had been granted the French Croix de Guerre. The citation for which the honor was given did not accompany the order. ITALIAN WAR CROSS On June 11, 1919, at a presentation of decorations to officers and enlisted men of the Fourth Division at Remagen, the following enlisted men of the 47th Infantry were given the Italian War Cross: Sergeant LUTHER E.

M. Ill Xo citations accompanied the decorations, but it is assumed that the honors were awarded as a courtesy on the part of the Italian government in view of the fact that all of the recipients had already been honored with the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism in action.
