(M CO W O O "A pT t^ o o o ^ o HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY ORGANIZATION AND SERVICE The organization of the 324th Field Artillery as a horse drawn regiment began on August 22nd, 1917, the day of the arrival of Colonel T. Q. Ashburn, the first and only regimental commander. August 30th, eighty-five officers of the Regular Army, National Army and Officers' Reserve Corps were assigned to the regiment, which was part of the 158th F. A. Brigade, 83rd Division. Additional officers were assigned from time to time thereafter. A Medical Department of four officers and twelve enlisted men were attached to this regiment per verbal order Commanding General. This department was later increased, and in addition, dentists, assistants, and a chaplain were added to it. Enlisted men began to arrive September 3rd and continued to arrive in increasing numbers until the regiment was nearly full. It was never up to full strength until a few days before its departure for France, when somewhat over two hundred men joined it from a Kentucky draft. The organization board of the 83rd Division had as a member Colonel T. Q. Ashburn representing all the artillery, and as he was a native Ohioan, in the selection of the territory from which to draw the drafted men he chose central Ohio, including Columbus, Springfield, etc., for the reason that primarily he did not wish men from his own section of the State (the Southern), whose parents 11 12 HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY would seek personal favors from an acquaintance. He did not wish the regiment to be composed of all city men, and he sought the happy medium whereby to secure for the regiment men representing all the trades and pro- fessions of both city and country. As an artillery regiment, he knew, he would require the services of everything from experts of every class to manual laborers. The reputation made by the regiment justified the choice of central Ohio as the place to get everything necessary. The problem of organizing a regiment under such unusual conditions, i. e., of drafted men, and untrained officers, was one that caused the commanding officer many sleepless nights. Strange as it may seem to the regiment now, there were indications from the very first that there was going to be little disciplinary trouble. Groups of the first men to arrive were somewhat awed by the fact that they had been drafted; they had been given every possible piece of advice; and they arrived with all sorts and conditions of clothing, and, what was better for them and the country, they had steeled them- selves to endure a number of hardships they were never to encounter in camp. Arriving at night, in a rainstorm, as many did, finding some one waiting for them, a place to sleep, and warm food, prepared them for the belief that some one was there to make them as comfortable as possible. It was a wise provision of the War Department to send them in small groups at first; for the reason that the men got more individual attention from their officers, had time to stabilize, and had a cheery front and a kind word for the next fellows; so that the later arrivals, looking around, saw that there was nothing to fear in this sudden transition from comfortable homes to camps; no martinets to browbeat them; but a group of officers who made it their business to see that they became of the utmost value to their country in the shortest possible time. The poHcy of the commanding officer firmly impressed upon all his officers, was that ''leading is better than ORGANIZATION 13 driving," and he never departed from that policy; nor did he allow any one in the regiment to do so; although he also impressed upon them that the '^velvet glove carried an iron hand." He initiated and carried through a policy of making officers and men gain mutual respect and friendship. By the judicious application of praise for worthy effort, the encouragement to work for promotion, the inculcation of the respect due to men who had won their chevrons; a very careful selection of these men and an unyielding support of them ; by personal talks and warnings to delinquents; by explanations of what was really meant by esprit and discipline, he distributed a leaven throughout ofl&cers and men that, through their intelligent appreciation of the ideals sought, resulted ere long in establishing a regiment that was destined not only to carry off all the honors of Camp Sherman, but to be selected to march to and across the Rhine, on account of its marching and fighting ability. The drills, exercises and operations were designed primarily to get the men in good shape physically, to lead them along the arduous path of military knowledge by suc- cessive steps; gradually assuming such a phase of training that practically no new thing developed in its actual service at the front that had not been treated of ex- haustively during the training period. Especial atten- tion was paid to teaching the value of cleanliness, mental, moral and physical, and men made to feel that they themselves were the only ones who could prepare them- selves in this way for the High Destiny which Fate had in store for them. The lack, for a long time, of any material whatsoever with which instruction could be given, was more than compensated for by the constructive mechanical genius of officers and enlisted men. To suggest an idea was to see it embodied over-night into concrete form so nearly accurate as to fulfill all practical purposes of instruction. The evolution of a gun from a piece of stove pipe and paper board into a cannon complete with mechanical 14 HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY devices for teaching pointing and aiming, loading and firing, and the creation of instruments for tire control and direction, are only samples of results. The regiment was particularly fortunate in its assign- ment of a French officer. Captain Jean Tommy-Martin — a gallant soldier of proven mettle, a most efficient artillery man, and a lovable French gentleman, whom all admired and respected. It was a distinct disappointment that he was not allowed to accompany the regiment to the front. A large share of the success of the preliminary instruction was due to him; and he was ably seconded by Major H. L. Morse. Lieutenant Jupin, who joined us at Bain-de-Bretagne, was another type of French officer who appealed to the regiment, while our Lieutenant Andre Weiner won a place in the hearts of officers and men by his quiet effectiveness and genial disposition that time will not pfface The regimental esprit, the lack of cliques amongst the officers, the harmonious relations of men and officers, was a cause of continual comment by all observers, of the most envious and favorable kind. Not only did the regiment win encomiums from all inspectors, and the commanding generals at Camp Sherman, but it carries an unbroken record of favorable comment. During the absence of Major-General Glenn, com- manding 83rd Division, for a period in excess of three months, a comparative table of merit was kept by Division Headquarters for his information. Upon his return the regiment was informed by his aide-de-camp that it stood first in the division in this comparative test for this period. Various elements entered into the tests, such as general health, general cleanliness, condition of barracks, bearing of officers and men, development of esprit, discipline, competitions of all kinds, etc. Diiring this period the regiment had been reorganized as a motor drawn regiment, with an ordnance officer and detachment. The captain of the ''Leicestershire," an English naval ORGANIZATION 15 officer, wrote that ''in all my experience of transporting troops, this regiment is the best behaved and best dis- ciplined.'^ At Borden, England, the colonel commanding the Royal Field Artillery there, said, ''Your troops act like veteran soldiers." At Bain-de-Bretagne, France, by their courteous bearing and consideration of all types of humanity, they so endeared themselves to the hearts of the community that people openly wept upon their departure, the municipal council officially thanked them, and, when peace was announced, gave three cheers for the 324th Field Artillery. The regiment gave the town four thousand francs for homeless French orphans. Here the regiment was again tentatively informed that it might be reorganized on a horse drawn basis, but no decision was reached. At Coetquidan the regiment finished its firing course in two days less time than the other two of the brigade, and the brigade was pronounced the best trained that had ever been there, by the officers in command. During the first onslaught of October 8th, at Cote de Talou, the infantry brigade commanders reported that the barrage was extraordinarily fine, and the division commander told the commanding officer that he had heard nothing but the most favorable reports upon the work of the artillery. The work at the Cote de Roches called forth the ad- miring comment of the infantry that "those heavy boys have the guts, by God'^* and unstinted praise from those men and officers who had been protected by our accurate fire. Officially it was reported that we had annihilated a machine gun nest, causing terrific havoc, and an aero- plane above dropped a note saying that the heavies were literally demolishing the trench system at which they were firing. When the commanding officer reported to the 3rd Corps Concimander near Montfaucon October 30th, 16 HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY 1918, he said, ''We are very glad to have you with us. We hear of your fine work on the other side of the Meuse.'^ The way the regiment pulled out of the Bois-de-Cunel and reached Velosnes, thence into Ecurey, moved the chief of staff to characterize its work as ''most remark- able.'^ The retaliatory fire delivered by the regiment at Ecurey, November 11th, 1918, after all but the Boche had ceased firing, was described by the advance guard commander. Brigadier General Winans, as "the most effective piece of artillery work he had seen during the war." At the first inspection on the march to the Rhine, Major General Haan characterized it as "a fine regiment which makes a fine appearance.'' It won a commendatory order from Major General Lassiter on the completion of the march, and the personal congratulations of General John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief, and Major General Hines, 3rd Corps Com- mander, at the inspection and review held by General Pershing in Germany. ORGANIZATION 17 ''158th F. a. Brigade A. E.

A general order issues today from division head- quarters informing the division of the high commendation which the Commander-in-Chief passed upon the division as a result of his review and inspection of yesterday. I wish, however, to express to you in this more personal way my very high appreciation of the fine spirit which so obviously animated the troops under your command. The 322nd F. A., the 323rd F. A., and the 324th F. A., in their soldierly bearing, in the appearance of their mounts, of their tractors, and of their equipment general- ly, made a showing of which they may well be proud. The light regiments in passing in review stirred to en- thusiasm all who watched them. The 324th regiment reached all the expectations of the Commander-in-Chief and of the Division Commander in that so soon after being motorized and under such unfavorable conditions they had their tractors and guns on the reviewing ground ready for inspection and brought to such a high standard of cleanliness and obvious efficiency.

General Orders, No. 23. 1. It is with sincere pleasure that the Division Com- mander pubHshes to the command, the following letter from the Commander-in-Chief: "American Expeditionary Forces" Office of the Commander-in-Chief France, March 24th, 1919. Major General William Lassiter, Commanding 32nd Division, American E. F. My dear General Lassiter: Please extend to the officers and men of the 32nd Division my sincere compliments upon their appearance and upon the splendid condition of the artillery and transportation at the review and inspection on March 15th. In fact, the condition of your command was what would be expected of a division with such a splendid fighting record. After training for several months following its arrival in February, 1918, it entered the line in Alsace and held this sector until the time of the Aisne-Marne offensive, when it moved to that active front. On July 30th, it entered the line on the Ourcq, and in the course of its action captured Cierges, Bellevue Farm and the Bois de la Planchette. The attack was resumed on August 1st, the division pushing ahead until it crossed the Vesle and captured the town of Fismes. On August 28th it again entered the line and launched attacks Which resulted ORGANIZATION 21 in the capture of Juvigny at the cost of severe casualties. During the Meuse-Argonne offensive the 32nd Division entered the Une on September 30th and by its persistence in that sector it penetrated the Kriemhilde Stellung, taking Romagne and following the enemy to the north- eastern edge of the Bois de Bantheville. On November 8th, the division took up the pursuit of the enemy east of the Meuse until the time when hostilities were suspended. Since the signing of the Armistice the 32nd Division has had the honor to act as a part of the Army of Occupa- tion. For the way in which all ranks have performed their duties in this capacity, I have only the warmest praise and approval. The pride of your officers and men, justified by such a record will insure the same high morale which has been present in the division during its stay in France. I want each man to know my appreciation of the work he has done and of the admiration in which he is held by the rest of his comrades in the American Expeditionary Forces. Sincerely yours, John J. Pershing." 2. This order will be read to the troops at the first formation following its receipt and will be posted upon bulletin boards. Wm. Lassiter, Major General, Commanding. The total casualties, thirty-five (35), were out of all proportion — abnormally small — to the dangers under- gone; and the regiment at no time had a large amount of sickness. It was finally motorized and equipped in Germany, during April, 1919. The men by this time were driving motors like horses, and horses like a Hudson twin six. But right glad were they to get rid of mange and manure, and take oil and the smell of gasoline instead. SERVICE The regiment embarked for Camp Mills, from Camp Sherman, Ohio, June 3rd -4th, 1918, and from Camp Mills, N. Y., it embarked on the steamship ^^Leicester- shire,^' June 11th, 1918, sailing, as part of a large convoy, for England, June 12th, 1918, arriving there June 23rd, 1918, disembarking at Liverpool, and proceeded by train to Borden, England, where it went into rest camp, remaining not twenty-four hours. It proceeded by train to Southampton, embarked and crossed the Channel to Havre, disembarking there June 27th, 1918, with- out a single man A. W. 0. L., a unique and remark- able record. It stayed in rest camp for three days, and then proceeded for Bain-le-Bretagne, where it billeted until August 13th, 1918. While there it received its first consignment of six (6) 155 mm. howitzers. On the 13th it marched to Coetquidan, for artillery practice, and completed same September 21st, 1918. While at Coetquidan it was completely equipped as a horsed regiment; and outfitted with necessary material. This was the third change in organization, as at this time the regiment was organized as a motor drawn outfit. The organization of specialists was as follows at this time : Operations Officers: Regimental Capt. Edward E. Norton 1st Bn. 1st Lieut. William J. Brennan 2nd Bn. Capt. EUery S. James 3rd Bn. Capt.

Cunningham 3rd Bn. 2nd Lieut. Aloyd W. Horning The regiment proceeded by trains to Souilly, France, and marched overland to Bois de Hesse, advanced elements reaching there, September 26th, 1918. The regimental commander acted as assistant to the artillery commander of the reinforced artillery brigade supporting the 91st Division on September 26th, 1918, and on the 27th the regiment moved into position. It remained there until October 3rd, 1918, in support of the 32nd Division, when it passed to the 29th Division, and on the night of October 3rd-4th moved into camp at the Bois de Nixeyville. From then until October 7th, 1918, it was occupied in going into position east of the Meuse, north of Verdun, at the Cote de Talou, and in preparing for attack. During all this time it was under shell fire. It was now acting with the 18th French Division, 17th Army Corps. It attacked October 8th from the Cote de Talou, and on October 9th one battalion moved forward to the Cote des Roches, beyond Samogneux, going into action that night. The other two battalions continued firing on the 9th, and on the 10th of October moved into position at the Gote des Roches. The entire regiment remained SERVICE 25 there till the night of October 29th -30th. During this time it was continuously under shell fire, and continuously- attacking. It supported the 18th French Division, the 29th U. S. Division, and the 26th U. S. Division, and covered the entrance of the 79th Division into position, relieving the 29th. On the night October 29th -30th, two battalions moved towards Cinq Freres, and on the night October 30th -3 1st, the remaining battalion moved out. On October 31st the regiment proceeded to recross the Meuse and marched to Bois de Montfaucon, reporting as divisional artillery of the 32nd Division, remaining with it until ordered home. On November 1st the regiment moved to Cierges, thence into the Bois de Beuge, thence to Bois de la Pultiere, thence across the Meuse at Dun, thence to Velosnes, thence into position at Bois d'Ecurey November 10th, 1918. It again at- tacked on the morning of November 11th, and fired retaliation fire after the armistice was announced, up to 10:25 A.M. being the last shots delivered by the 32nd Division in the war. The horses were so depleted at Velosnes, due to the constant fire under which they had been, and the con- tinuous pursuit of the enemy, that it was necessary to demobilize one battalion, and leave it there. Out of 957 horses, only about 517 remained. At Bois d'Ecurey about 600 horses were received, and on November 16th, the regiment started on the march across the Rhine, billeting at Jametz. Thence by stages it advanced into Germany, crossing the Sauer River at Echternach, De- cember 1st, 1918, and crossing the Rhine at Engers, December 14th, 1918. It remained in Germany to the west and north of the river Rhine until April 22nd, 1919, when it began its return to the States via Brest. The details of its activities are included in the opera- tions report attached hereto. From January 1st, 1919, to the 22nd day of April, 1919, it remained as part of the Army of Occupation with the same stations as indicated in the operations report. 26 HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY The following officers remained with the regiment at the date of its departm*e for the States: Col.

Headquarters Company, and his appointment as Regimental Adjutant. Captain R. B. Lawrence, Supply Officer, was discharged on account of physical disability incurred in line of duty, and Captain B. J. Haggard was appointed supply officer. From Germany the regiment proceeded to Brest, France, where it remained in camp for nearly two weeks, when it embarked on the U. S. S. SEATTLE for New York. During the voyage there was every effort made to entertain all aboard by frequent band concerts, movies, boxing, etc. Through the courtesy of the ship's officers, the regiment was enabled to publish a last souvenir, called ^'The Seasick Seattler." This paper was written, edited and published by enlisted men, and was filled with jokes and humorous reminiscences, together with a lead- ing article herewith reproduced. 324th GOING BACK ON U. S. S. SEATTLE COL. ASHBURN TAKING HOME BEST F. A. REGIMENT IN A. E. F. With the band vigorously pounding out jazz well worthy of the occasion and with Brest, the city famed for 30 HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY its mud and army regulations, fast toppling behind the horizon, the 324th Field Artillery Regiment under Colonel T. Q. Ashburn at last started its long promised and anxiously awaited homeward voyage aboard the U. S. S. SEATTLE, May 10th, 1919. Almost eleven months to the day since the 324th had left God's Country behind to give the bothersome Fritz his full mete of strafing — and from a secret source comes the information that the Captain of the ship has solemnly promised a view^^of the Statue of Liberty by the middle of June at least. Many things have come to pass since the 324th be- came one of the vital organizations of the A. E. F. What if brass foot rails aren't quite the rage they were in the good old peace days? What difference does it make if steaks are a luxury and certain old friends say ^'fini'^ when fluids noted for their lubrication of the vocal cords crop out in casual conversations. It's still God's Country, and it means home and sundry other things which are not furnished in France by the best of Y. M. C. A.'s. And they're sure to bear with an outfit even if it does register its full share of pride and satisfaction when it strikes good, solid American soil once more with the knowledge that it bade farewell to France with its work well done. A term of duty in several of the real active sectors of the front followed by the distinction of being one of the comparatively few organizations selected to march into Germany and pass beyond the Rhine to hold the bridge- head would make the most modest and retiring organiza- tion slightly self-respecting. Then, too, it isn't every outfit that can be brought home by a colonel who wears the gold chevron on his right arm — Colonel Ashburn became entitled to wear one shortly before the armistice when wounded while leading the regiment into action near Cunel, France, and who also was presented with a Croix de Guerre. He organized the regiment, brought it overseas, and is now taking it back, SERVICE 31 fortunately with a large percentage of the men who came over with him. It's the best bet of the season too that fond mothers won't have to gaze anxiously at underfed faces of sol- dier sons after they have debarked from the SEATTLE, *^for putting it out'' is one of the rare accomphshments of the kitchen — no galley force. It is certainly a con- trast to the so-called food which was furnished when we traveled in the other direction. At any rate let's throw modesty to the winds and admit that Captain Blakely and Commander Culbertson with the best crew in the Navy, are taking home Colonel Ashburn and the best Field Artillery Regiment in the A. E. F." The regimental commander, on behalf of the ofl&cers and men, wrote an appreciation of the courtesies extended aboard the ship to the regiment, and sent it to Captain Blakely. In reply Captain Blakely sent the following letter; "U. S. S. SEATTLE At sea, 21 May 1919. From: Commanding Officer. To: Colonel T. Q. Ashburn, 324th F. A., U. S. A. Subject : Repatriation of American Expeditionary Forces on U. S. S. S. SEATTLE. 1. I am in receipt of your communication of this date in which you express for the detachment under your command, your appreciation of the satisfactory trans- portation conditions on board this vessel during the re- turn voyage from France, now nearing completion. 2. Permit me to express my gratification on my own ac- count and in behalf of the officers and the ship's company of the SEATTLE for your very generous observations and expressions as to the treatment accorded you. There 32 HISTORY OF THE 324th FIELD ARTILLERY have been many discomforts which we would have been very glad to have had otherwise. Some due to the inau- guration of the system of employment of our armored cruisers for the return of our troops from France; to the installation and experimental trial of improvised con- veniences; to the crowded quarters and small deck space of a type of vessel not constructed for troop transport and carry more than double her normal complement. 3. Our warm feeling of comradeship for the fellow branch of the armed forces of our Country would alone have in- spired us to make your stay on board more than welcome, but added to this, I am pleased to say, the cheerful, willing, co-operative, and soldierly manner in which the officers and troops have assisted and done more than their part wherever possible to help the ship's company and to disregard the unavoidable discomforts has made our task many times lighter and our association one to always be recalled with pleasure. The traditions of cordial co- operation between the two military services has again been evinced in a gratifying manner. 4. At the time of completion of the trip and separation, I take occasion to wish to yourself and your command, every success and good luck for their future. J. R. Y. Blakely." Safely arrived at New York, the regiment was disem- barked and marched to Camp Mills, where it remained a week. During this time the men were saddened by the death by accident of Assistant Band Leader Homer McLean, whose clarinet playing had been a soiu^ce of much amusement to all. He was a master of its vagaries, and, while an expert musician, manipulated his instru- ment in such a fashion, when desired, as to convulse hiis audience. Groups of men were here separated from the regiment, and sent for muster out to various camps, and the realization that the old 324th was really breaking up brought home the fact that the friendships formed under battle and camp conditions were such that they will ever GO I— ♦ Oi &* O b* O O O ^. 1=1. SERVICE 33 endure, and many was the catch in the voice as we bade them good-bye. At the end of the week, the remainder, some 1200 officers and men, proceeded in three sections to Columbus, Ohio, where, at the earnest solicitation of the Wives and Mothers' Committees, the War Department had ordered a parade. A welcoming committee met the trains, and great was the joy of the regiment at meeting their own ^^home folks.'' The parade was a very hot and disagreeable finale, but the cheering throngs crowding the streets, the warm welcome accorded the marching troops, the de- licious buffet luncheon served after the parade, repaid the men for their discomfort by the feeling that they were giving pleasure to those who loved them. Arrived at Camp Sherman late the same night, Satur- day, the men were physically examined, assigned to bar- racks, and on Monday the work of muster out began, being completed on June 4th, 1919, one year and one day from the start on the long hard struggle which car- ried them from Camp Sherman to and through England, France, Luxemburg and Germany, and finally brought them ^^From Beyond the Rhine to the Banks of the Scioto." Up to the last moment the esprit remained excellent, and the regiment separated with mutual respect existing between officers and men, and a desire that through the coming years many opportunities for reunion should occur, when all together they could talk over, and live over, the history of ''The regiment without fear and without reproach." Headquarters, 324th Field Artillery U. S. S. Seattle, May 20, 1919. Officers and Men of the 324th Field Artillery, '^Mes Enfants": You have almost finished your duty as soldiers, and are entitled to and will receive the homage due to brave men. Drawn from all fields of human endeavor, you have adapted yourselves to unusual discipline; have sunk your identity to become a part of a machine; have learned to exert yourselves individually as parts of a whole, and have made of that machine a formidable fighting force of unusual ability. All honor to you! I, who have seen you develop, feel a pride in your achievements, a glory in your record, that words can ill express. You have faced privation, danger, death in every con- ceivable form, and you have never faltered. You have performed almost humanly impossible tasks. You have won unstinted praise from every General under whom you have served — and the special commen- dation of the Commander-in-Chief, General Pershing. You will carry home with you the proud consciousness of duty well done; the soldiers' greatest reward; and an unblemished regimental record of efficient service, joyfully rendered for the sake of your Country! You will now become a large factor in our body politic. By adopting as your own the regimental motto: ''WE AIM HIGH,'' you will continue to serve faithfully in peace as in war. Whatever your estate may be in the future, or mine, I wish you to understand that there will abide forever in 34 SERVICE 35 my heart a love for you, a pride in you, a glory in your achievements, that time will only enhance; and while I rejoice with you in your return to peaceful pm*suits, my heart is heavy at the thought of the disintegration of the regiment of which I am so well content to have been the commander; a regiment ** without fear and without reproach." T. Q. ASHBURN, Colonel, 324th F, A,, Commanding. REPORT OF OPERATIONS Headquarters 324th F. A. (Heavy) A. P. O. 734, 4th February, 1919. From: The Commanding Officer, 324th F. A. To: The Adjutant General, U. S. A. (Through Channels) Subject: Report of operations of 324th F. A. from June 4th, 1918, to December 31st, 1918. 1. I submit the following report covering the operations of the 324th F. A., U. S. A., from June 4th, 1918, to include the close of the year. 2. Pursuant to instructions from the War Department, the regiment (which had been organized at Camp Sher- man, Ohio, beginning with my arrival August 22nd, 1917), left Camp Sherman for Camp Mills, New York. We remained in camp there until June 11th, when the regiment embarked on the S.S. '^Leicestershire" and saHed June 12th for Liverpool, England, arriving there June 24th, and moved by train to a rest camp at Borden, England. Remained there approximately twenty-four hours and moved by train to Southampton, where we embarked and crossed the English Channel, arriving at La Havre the next morning, going to a rest camp. We remained a few days at this rest camp, and thence pro- ceeded by train to Bain-de-Bretagne, where we remained in billets till August 13th, thence marched overland to the artillery range at Coetquidan, remaining there till September 23rd, 1918. All this time was spent in very intensive training. 3. Under instructions from Headquarters 158th F. A. Brigade, the regiment was ordered to proceed to the vicinity of Bar-le-Duc, by train, there to receive further orders. The Colonel and Adjutant proceeded by auto- 37 38 HISTORY OF THE 324TH FIELD ARTILLERY mobile to Bar-de-Luc, where orders were received to proceed to Vraincourt and to establish Headquarters. From there the Colonel commanding was directed to proceed to join Brigade Headquarters at Hill 210 with the Headquarters of the artillery supporting the 91st Division. He arrived there on the evening of September 25th, 1918, remaining there during the operations of the Fifth Army Corps the 26th of September. The Opera- tions Officer and Reconnaissance Officers, together with the Radio and Telephone Officers and Regimental Head- quarters arrived at Vraincourt September 26th. The head of the regiment arrived at Vraincourt September 27th and on that day Field Order No. 1 was issued. See Appendix ''A." On September 27th, the regiment began to go into position in the Bois de Hesse, north of Parois, which was under shell fire; and completed its dispositions for firing to defend the line Vauquois-Haucourt, supporting the 32nd Division. September 28th-29th there was considerable aeroplane activity on both sides, and under personal orders from the Division Commander the Colonel made reconnais- sances to the front, investigating routes of advance. Battalion reconnaissances were also made. September 30th and October 1st were marked by aeroplane activity and gas alarms; one casualty during the day from aeroplane bullet. On October 2nd, the regiment remained in position under considerable aeroplane activity; one casualty from hand grenade. The permanent Brigade Commander had been assigned to the command of the 55th Artillery Brigade and on October 1st, Colonel T. Q. Ashburn reassumed command of the 158th F. A. Brigade, which he had organized and commanded from August 22, 1917, to June 1, 1918, consisting of the 322nd, 323rd, 324th Field Artillery, 308th Trench Mortar Battery and 308th Ammunition Train; retaining also the command of the 324th F. A. On the afternoon of October 2nd, a warning REPORT OF OPERATIONS 39 telegram was received directing him to prepare to march the brigade the next day and report with it to the 29th Infantry Division. The regiment remained in the Bois de Hesse and as a part of the 158th F. A. Brigade, under my command, moved out of the Bois de Hesse at 8 P.M., October 3rd, and by orders of the Division Conmiander, 29th Division, was placed at the disposition of the Chief of Artillery, 17th French Army Corps, to whom I reported for instructions, being directed to move into position at Camp Gallene, near Nixeyville, where it arrived in the early morning October 4th. The day was spent in reconnaissance, selection of positions, etc., all under shell fire, and consultation with Corps and Divisional Com- manders of the 17th French Corps, 18th Division and 29th Division respectively. In the evening, 6:00 P.M., all batteries began moving into position for attack in accord- ance with orders from Headquarters 18th French Division, October 5th, 1918. See Appendix II. The Command of the regiment was turned over to Lieut. Col. H. L. Morse on October 5th, 1918, and he, by my orders moved the regiment into position east of the Meuse, north of Verdun, at the Cote de Talou. On October 6th the day was spent under fire, in bringing up ammunition, improving posi- tions, getting the Supply and Headquarters Company and the horse lines established, as well as establishing liaison with the infantry brigade to be supported. On October 7th there was intermittent artillery activity and all batteries registered. Beginning at 5:00 A.M. October 8th, the regiment, in conjunction with the balance of the Brigade, took part in the offensive of the 17th French Army Corps, 18th French Division and one brigade of the 29th Division, in accordance with plan for use of Artillery. See Appendix III. On this day and the next, the artillery firing was exceedingly heavy, and although the regiment was in the same position as the 323rd and one battalion of the 322nd in which casualties occurred, did not suffer. Approximately 8500 shells were fired. The enemy fire 40 HISTORY OF THE 342TH FIELD ARTILLERY was either short or over, and the guns well protected behind a crest and by digging in. The infantry advanced some seven kilometers, and captured some 1800 prisoners. The fighting lasted during the day and the night and the attack was resumed at 5:30 A.M., continuing until the normal objective had been attained. On October 9th, at 11:00 A.M. in compliance with orders from the 17th French Corps I turned over the command of the Brigade to the permanent Brigade commander, and resumed command of the 324th F. A. Separate report of the operation of the 158th F. A. Brigade from October 2nd to October 9th inclusive, has heretofore been rendered by me, to the 17th French Division and the 29th Division, and one copy retained in the records of the 158th F. A. Brigade. The Division Commander, 29th Division, personally assured me that he had heard nothing but praise for the artillery during these operations. During the 8th, the undersigned had caused reconnaissances to be made covering the routes through Samogneux, Cote des Roches and Brabant and had made arrangements for a move forward. On October 9th, the 1st Battalion, under Major Brice, was ordered to a position in the Cote des Roches, which it occupied between the Infantry advance lines, and the support. On the night of October lOth-llth, the undersigned established his P. C. at the Cote des Roches and the remaining two battalions moved into position there. A counter attack of the enemy was repulsed by artillery fire ; the infantry Brigade Comman- der reporting himself well pleased by results. The tasks assigned the battalions of the regiment during the 10th of October are shown in Appendix IV, and are a fair sample of the daily work of this Regiment. On the 11th the artillery remained in position perform- ing its functions as laid down in brigade operations orders with these additions: The enemy's fire having become exceedingly uncomfortable, at 14:52 Major Brice's bat- talion fired a barrage between points 54.22 and 64.23 at the rate of one round per gun per minute for five minutes REPORT OF OPERATIONS Al and Major Nash's battalion a barrage of five minutes between points 50.22 and 60.00 at the rate of 40 rounds per gun per hour, which was apparently successful in reducing the annoying batteries. At 15:48, message re- ceived from the infantry stating they were preparing to advance from 25 to 26, requesting preparation for barrage. Same was made but barrage not called for. Enemy activity above normal. From 12 M., 11th October to 12 M., 12th October the regiment fired 264 rounds at enemy batteries and cross roads for interdiction purposes. Enemy activity normal. Two (2) men in Battery A seriously wounded by explosion of enemy shrapnel, both died afterwards. From 12 M. October 12th to 12 M., October 13th, the enemy artillery was normal. Casual- ties, two men killed and three wounded. Two hundred and twenty four rounds fired by regiment, counter battery, harassing and retaliation fire. October 14th, the Division was preparing for an attack and the regiment fired harassing and retaliation fire. October 15th, the 29th division attacked (see Appendix V), supported by the regiment, which fired 5308 rounds on machine gun nests, road crossings ravines, dugouts and observatories. One casualty. Enemy artillery active. From 12 M. 15th October to 12 M. 16th October the regiment again supported an infantry attack, firing 2323 roimds of preparation, interdiction, harassing fire on cross roads, observation points, enemy trenches, dumps and machine gun nests. Infantry reported this fire as exceedingly effective especially on machine gun nests which were destroyed. From 12 M. 16th October to 12 M. 17th October, the regiment remained in position at Cote des Roches and fired 320 rounds on observation posts, roads and enemy trenches. Enemy activity nornaal. Some new trenches were being dug by the enemy, which were destroyed, direct observation being possible. From 12 M. 17th October to 12 M. 18th October,^ the enemy artillery was active and the regiment sustained 42 HISTORY OF THE 324TH FIELD ARTILLERY two casualties. It fired 554 rounds of interdiction and concentration fire on observation posts, roads and enemy trenches. The infantry was meeting with very stubborn resistance in the Grande Montague area and up to this time the total casualties in the 29th Division with whom we were working, were 85 officers and 3451 men, of whom 17 officers and 400 men were killed. From 12 M. October 18th to 12 M. 19th October, the r„egiment continued its interdiction and concentration on the roads, observation posts, trenches and camps, expend- ing a total of 524 rounds. From 12 M. October 19th to 12 M. 20th October, the regiment fired 600 rounds on observation posts, roads and fire for adjustment, using enemy barracks as targets with direct observation. The enemy artillery activity was normal with usual aeroplane reconnaissances and bom- bardment of our positions. From 12 M. October 20th to 12 M. October 21st, the regiment fired 730 rounds interdiction fire, on observation posts, roads, and adjustment. Enemy artillery activity normal. Orders were received for a combined attack of the 29th and 26th Divisions for the purpose of taking the ridge of the Bois d'Etrayes. See Appendix VI. The 29th was now so firmly established on Grand Montague in the face of bitter and obstinate resistance, that an opportunity presented itself for attacking in an easterly direction. The enemy was strongly fortified there, and supported by artillery, some of very high power. In a reconnaissance on this day I saw a large number of abandoned German trench mortars and stumbled on a German battery with three guns completely destroyed. It had apparently started to pull out, but it was too late. From 12 M. October 21st to 12 M. October 22nd. Fired 600 rounds at enemy observation posts. Hill 378, and an interdiction fire on roads while infantry was making disposition for attack. A regiment of light artillery belonging to the 26th Division came into position on three sides of the 324th F. A. and a battaUon of REPORT OF OPERATIONS 43 Infantry into the same position. The enemy artillery was very active. Aeroplane attack during the night. From 12 M. October 22nd to 12 M. October 23rd. Enemy artillery opened barrage at 5:00 A.M. Very heavy. The infantry, 29th and 26th Divisions attacked. The regiment fired 7729 rounds of preparation, accompanying, covering interdiction and concentrated harassing fire. The in- fantry supported reported casualties below normal, and aviators reported fire as accurate and effective. From 12 M. October 23rd to 12 M. October 24th. Continued harassing fire during the day, firing 675 rounds during this 24 hours. Five enemy planes flew over us about noon, and probably photographed our positions. The enemy aeroplanes had begun dropping German propaganda. From 12 M. October 24th to 12 M. October 25th. Fired 519 rounds on enemy areas. Enemy artillery active. Shell falling on P. C. and cutting all telephone wires, stopping communication for thirty minutes. From 12 M. October 25th to 12 M. October 26th. 626 rounds fired on enemy areas. Enemy artillery activity normal. From 12 M. October 26th to 12 M. October 27th. The infantry attacked to straighten line. Fired 670 rounds. Enemy active. Casualties one officer and three enlisted men. The permanent Brigade Commander having been sent to the hospital. Colonel Ashburn reassumed command of the brigade, per orders of the Division Commander. From 12 M. October 27th to 12 M. October 28th. In position at Cote des Roches up to 9:30 P. M. October 28th, when the first and second battalions withdrew successively, and marched, over a continuously shell swept road toward Bois de Cinq Freres. See Appendix VII. A regiment of artillery assigned to the 79th Division relieved these two battalions; the third battalion taking over the mission of the first and second. Major Brice in command of Regiment. The first and second battal- 44 HISTORY OF THE 324TH FIELD ARTILLERY ions, under Major Brice, reached Cinq Freres about 7 :00 A.M. The third battahon, Major Sackett command- ing, remained in position until about 10:00 P.M., October 29th, when, the relief of the 158th F. A. Brigade by the 52nd F. A. Brigade having been completed, it moved out to Bois de Cinq Freres under shell fire, and arrived there early the morning of the 30th. At 8:30 A.M. October 30th in compliance with orders from the 17th French Army Corps, Colonel T. Q. Ashburn, 324th F. A., turned over the command of the sector to the Commanding General, 52nd F. A. Brigade, and in accordance with telephonic instructions from the 29th Division, reported in person to the commanding general, 3rd Army Corps, for instructions, and was directed to move the brigade to the Bois de Montfaucon, reporting in person to the Commanding General, 32nd Division, for duty as divi- sional artillery. The regiment remained in position at Cinq Freres until 2 :00 P.M. 31st October, when it marched to the Bois de Madalainville, and bivouacked for the night. The Brigade Commander received orders to hurry up the artillery which was put in position in the Bois de Montfaucon supporting the 32nd Division, on the afternoon of November 1st. Colonel Ashburn reassumed command, turning over Brigade to permanent Brigade Commander. After reconnaissance the next day, the regiment was in readiness to proceed to Montfaucon, when orders were received to proceed to the Bois de Beuge and go into position there. Owing to the roads from Cierges being impassable, and the regiment arriving there at night, it bivouacked along the road, moving into position the next morning. There was normal enemy activity both in artillery and aeroplane. The regiment remained in position at the Bois de Beuge until November 5th, when orders were received to move forward beyond the Bois de^a^Pultiere.^ At 1 :00 A.M. November 6th, while leading" the regiment along the Nantillois-Cunel road, same being under shell fire. Colonel T. Q. Ashburn was wounded.by the explosion REPORT OF OPERATIONS 45 of a shell, but continued to lead the regiment into its position. The regiment remained in position until 4:00 P.M. 9th November when it moved forward via Dun sur Meuse, closely supporting the 32nd infantry, and bivouacked along the road near Velosnes sur Meuse, between the Infantry advance guard and the main body. During the night bombing aeroplanes flew over the column, and there was intermittent artillery fire. At about 10:00 A.M. November 10th, the regiment moved forward, via Haraumont to the hills west of Ecurey and went into position under intense shell ^e. The enemy swept the road from Haraumont to Ecurey and the woods to the right (in which the regiment took position) in such a fashion that it was miraculous that a large percentage of men and guns were not lost. Leaving Velosnes, it had been impossible, due to exhaustion and lack of horses, to bring the second battalion in position. It was accordingly demobilized and all horses turned over to the first and third battalions. Orders having been given for attack on the morning of November 11th, the regiment went into action at 6:30 A.M. and continued the attack until 7 :25 A.M., when I was directed to cease firing as an armistice had been declared. 235 rounds of preparation and covering fire were delivered. Later in the morning I was ordered to deliver 8 rounds each on the following villages: Vittarville, Dombras, Delut and Dombley, as retaliation for enemy firing into Ecurey after the attack had been halted. This fire was delivered and completed at 10:25 A.M. and was as far as the undersigned is aware, the last shots fired delivered by any unit in the 32nd Division during the war. The regiment remained in bivouac in the Bois de Ecurey until 2:00 P.M., November 16th, cleaning up, getting re- equipped, etc., when it started on the march to the Rhine, arriving at Jametz about 10:00 P.M. At 8:00 A.M. the next day, it started to march to St. Jean, where the Regiment billeted for the night. From St. Jean the regiment marched to Villers la Chevres, France, 46 HISTORY OF THE 324TH FIELD ARTILLERY where it remained in billets till the 19th, when it crossed the Luxembourg border and billeted at Petagne. From Petagne, the regiment marched to, and billeted at Kirch- burg, and thence via Romaine Strasse into Hostert, where it billeted. From Hostert, the regiment marched to Budeler and Bruch, where they were billeted in barns and such accommodations until December 1st, when it crossed into Germany over the Sauer River at Echternacht, about 11:00 A.M., billeting at Irrel, Germany. Up to the time the regiment reached Budeler and Bruch, Luxembourg, there had been, and continued to be, a serious shortage of rations for men, clothing, and forage for animals. From the time we entered Germany grain and forage could be requisitioned, and animals got enough to eat. The ration and clothing situation im- proved likewise, but I doubt if any heavy artillery had quite as strenuous a march, under such unfavorable con- ditions, as that made by this regiment. The march into Kirchburg was exceedingly trying, and at the end of it there was a tremendous steep hill to climb, and a very long one. The regiment did not negotiate it until early in the morning and the men bivouacked in the open, to a large extent. It was bitter cold, and horses and men suffered greatly. Going out of Hostert the road was almost straight down hill, and covered with ice. It was necessary to take all horses except one team, off each vehicle, to block the wheels with chains, and take as many men as could work on the guns and prolonges, to hold them back. Dozens of horses slipped and fell, (there were no calks in their shoes, nor could we get any), and several very serious accidents were narrowly averted. Leaving Irrel, Germany, the regiment proceeded to Ober and Nieder Stedem, where it bivouacked, leaving the next day at 8:00 A.M. via Bitberg and Erdorf, into Badem, over a road pronounced impracticable by the engineers, but negotiated by the regiment with less trouble than the one into Kirchburg, or out of Hostert. Remained two days billeted at Badem, and marched from REPORT OF OPERATIONS 47 there to Manderscheid; arriving there 4th December about 11:00 P.M. Here was a march of about 35 kilo- meters, with a precipitous descent into a deep valley, and a climb out the other side at the end of a 30 kilometer march. A convoy of trucks, about 60, cut in ahead of the regiment via a crossroad forbidden to us, and con- tinued for hoiu's to slide off the road and delay us, requir- ing us at least six hours to negotiate a distance ordinarily covered in two hours. It was exceedingly dark and dangerous, owing to the abrupt hairpin curves, but the regiment arrived without accident. The next A. M. at 8:00 the regiment moved through Daun and Dockwiler into Dreis, where it bivouacked; most of the men and all of the horses spending the night in the mud and the rain. The regiment left Dreis at 6:30 A.M. marching directly up a very steep and tiresome hill, arriving at its destina- tion, Kelberg, at 11:00 A.M. only to find it still occupied by parts of two regiments and an ammunition train. As soon as they cleared the regiment billeted, and remained there until 8 :00 A.M. the 9th December when it marched via Boos to Kurrenburg, where the regiment arrived in excellent shape. From Kurrenburg, the Regiment marched via Mayen to Ochtendung, Germany, where it billeted till December 13th, marching on that day via Bassenheim Reubenach, to Mulheim, where it billeted. At 8:00 A.M. December 14th the Regiment crossed the Rhine via the Crown Prince William Bridge, and the second and third battaUons billeted at Sayn, while the first marched on to Kleine Maischeid, and went into permanent billets, about 25 killometers north of Coblenz. On the 15th the second battalion proceeded to Brejtenau and the third to Ruscheid for permanent billets, while the Headquarters Company and Supply billeted at Kausen. These dispositions were maintained until December 28th when conditions of overcrowding, and danger of disease became so acute that the following redistribution was made, remaining in effect up to the close of the year, 48 HISTORY OF THE 324TH FIELD ARTILLERY 1918: First Battalion and Battery B Kleine Maischeid, Supply Co., Kleine Maischeid; Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Company and Battery A, Grosse Mais- cheid: Third Battalion Headquarters, Batteries E and F, remained at Ruscheid; D Battery moved to Kausen; Second Battalion Headquarters and Battery C, Breitenau. The billets are now comfortable and men better housed than at any time since we entered the line. Attention is invited to the fact that from the time this regiment started, September 23rd, 1918, to the cessation of war, November 11th, 1918, it was either actually on the firing line, marching to change positions, or in reserve under shell fire; that it never actually had 24 hours of that time even in comparative safety; and that it marched to the Rhine and across it, winning commenda- tion for both its fighting and marching ability wherever it was. Although the casualties were comparatively small, considering the task accomplished, the difficulties met and overcome, that was due, I firmly believe, largely to the preponderance and skill of our artillery; a large share of luck, and Divine protection. It will ever be a source of congratulation to everyone present that we were not annihilated in our positions at the Cote des Roches, east of the Meuse, where some of the bitterest fighting of the war occurred; and that we did not suffer severely at other places, especially in the Bois de Ecurey. The esprit of the regiment is unsurpassed and officers and men rest in the proud consciousness of duty well done. T. Q. ASHBURN, Col. 324th F. A., U. S.
