COPYRIGHT 1920 Chaplain F. C. REYNOLDS Chaplain WM. F. MCLAUGHLIN ©CU576740 SEP 24 1920 Foreword COMPLETE history of the World War can never be written. Each man of the fifty miUion taking part has a history of his own, embodying individual experiences, sublime and ridiculous, joyous and sad, courageous and weak, which in itself would fill a large volume. These individual histories will' not be printed; they will be told by word of mouth to little groups of friends and loved ones who are interested most in the deeds of each particular man. Grandparents and parents, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren, yes, great-grandchildren will sit by the hour and listen to the stories of the men who played the great game. Many volumes will be written discussing the causes, describing the decisive battles and delineating the character and ability of the leading generals. The general progress of the great struggle will be told in detail. The location of army corps will be indicated, and the way they fought. Divisions will be followed with some interest probably, but little notice will be given to the life and activities of individual regiments, for in this gigantic conflict, where millions are struggling, a regiment is a very insignificant factor. The historian, as he weighs the forces that determined the course of the war and the final result, will attach little importance to the work of the 1 1 5th Infantry. But mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, wives, sweethearts and children will be more interested in the regiment son or brother or father was in, than in the war itself. So, for the sake of those loved ones who stayed at home, writing letters, sending candy, cakes and tobacco, knitting sweaters and socks, saying prayers — for the sake of those who kept the "Home Fires Burnmg" — for the sake of keeping fond memories fresh and noble deeds alive, we tell the story of the 1 15th Infantry.

N writing the biography of a man some attention is always given to his ancestors ; for they determine, to a degree at least, what he is to be. So in beginning the history of the One Hundred and Fifteenth- Infantry Regiment of the United States Army in the World War it seems fitting to say a word about its parents. This regiment was the largest unit m.ade from the old National O Guard regiments of Maryland. When war was declared, on D April 6, 1917, the only land force outside the Regular Army, which was practically a negligible factor as the armies of this war were measured, was the National Guard of our several States. The strength of the Regular Army was about 85,000 officers and men, wdiile that of the National Guard was, when mustered into Federal service, 1210 officers and 367,225 men. Maryland had three infantry regiments— the First, from the counties; the Fourth and Fifth, mostly from the City of Baltimore. Each was proud of a long history and boastful of a fighting power she was eager to test. These regiments had just recently returned from a tour of guard duty on the Mexican border, which furnished valuable training and gave them some reason for considering themselves seasoned war veterans. But they had no adequate conception of what modern warfare really meant. Gradually, unconsciously and almost imper- ceptibly they were to be hardened, developed, trained and schooled until they were the best soldiers in the world, fit for the most trying conflict of all history, and fit enough to win. The First Regiment had returned from the border in the early part of October, 1916, and was mustered out. The men, feeling they had had enough warfare, had returned to their civilian occupations, hoping. the disordered condi- tion of international affairs might be settled without bloodshed. In the World War, however, the cause of right became more and more endangered ; Germany's method of conducting the war became more and more barbarous. She inaugu- rated the policy of "terrorism" ; she swept the seas with her submarines and torpedoed every ship that was to her advantage, regardless of international law or right. On land, she resorted to the practices of scientific savagery. America ANCESTRY AND BIRTH— Cont. must either prove false to her heritage of justice and honor or fight. War was inevitable. German sympathizers were numerous. Alien enemies were likely to resort to extreme methods of violence to cripple our nation as a foe to Germany. We must be on our guard. Hence about the middle of March, 191 7, D, E and H Companies of the First Regiment, under command of Major Milton A. Reckord, were ordered by the State to guard the railroad bridges of the Susquehanna River. These were the first Maryland troops to do any work in relation to the World War. They remained in service only a few weeks when relieved by the troops of the Fourth Regiment, which had been called into Federal service. Later in the summer D and H Companies of the First, under Major D. John Markey, were sent to guard Baltimore City's water supply at Lake Montebello. The Fourth Regiment had returned from the Mexican border September 8, 1916, and had almost forgotten about the sandstorms, rattlesnakes and "Spof- ford" hike, when, on the eve of declaring war, the Federal Government called the entire regiment into service again. Their duty this time was to guard the railroad tunnels and bridges, munition plants and grain elevators from being destroyed by enemies in our midst. C)ut among the mountains of Western Mary- land, along the banks of the Susquehanna, Gunpowder and Bush rivers; on the hill overlooking the munition plant at Woodberry, down in the heart of the city near Union Station, those strange little khaki tents sprang up, like mushrooms, overnight. Men wearing L^ncle Sam's uniform, carrying a wicked-looking gun, walked around with an air of authority, and very little destruction of any kind was even attempted. All over the countr_v National Guard regiments were called out for such service. The Fifth had just returned from a seemingly endless stay on the border. The men had scarcely become adjusted to civilian life — some of the ofificers had not yet been discharged — when the Second Battalion, under command of Major Frank A. Hancock, was called out by the State to guard Lake Montebello until relieved by other troops. The entire regiment was called by the United States Government April 13, and was sent into four different States to guard important public and private property. The Second Battalion was scattered from Cape Charles, Va., to Myersdale, Pa.; the First Battalion was located in Virginia, around Richmond ; Company M was sent to Camp Upton, on Long Island, New York, and other companies remained in Baltimore. This kind of warfare was very agreeable to the men. The duty given them was light, and the experience was more like a summer vacation — an outing in the mountains or a camping partv along a river — than warfare. Picturesque ANCESTRY AND BIRTH- Cont. little camps back among beautiful shade trees, where gravel walks lined with whitewashed stones led from tent to tent, formed their homes. Under these conditions the men had frequent opportunities to get home, and friends enjoyed the novelty of visiting their soldier boys in camp. The mess, the chief factor in determining a soldier's happiness or unhappiness, was usually good. But if for any reason the mess sergeant did fall down, the big-hearted farmer's wife nearby was glad to supplement with a spring chicken and roasting ears. This kind of life, however, was too good to last long in the army. The fellows were just beginning to get acquainted with the girls in the neighborhood and finding life really pleasant when each regiment was called together to get ready for the trip to a common training camp in the South. The different companies of the First, under command of Col. Charles A. Little of Hagerstown, were equipped at their annories in the different towns of Mai^yland — A, Frederick; B, Hagerstown; C, Cambridge; D, Belair; E, Elkton; F, Hyattsville ; G, Cumberland ; H, Westminster ; I, Salisbuiy ; K, Silver Spring ; L, Crisfield ; M, Annapolis ; Machine Gun Companj', Annapolis ; Headquarters Company mostly from Hagerstown, Supply Company had its headquarters at Annapolis. The Fourth was mobilized at Laurel, under Col. Harry C. Jones, and the Fifth at Cocke)rsville, under Col. Washington Bowie, Jr. While here the regiments were given complete equipment ; all paper work was gotten in proper shape, and all old bills settled. The men were given a physical examination for tuberculosis and those who were suspected of nerve or mental weakness were examined by specialists. Each man who passed v/as treated to three shots of anti-typhoid serum, which he dreaded about as much as heavy German artilleiy. During this period an extensive recruiting campaign was carried on b}' each regiment to bring its quota up to full war strength — about 2000 officers and men. The whole State of Maryland was combed clean for evei-y young man between 18 and 45 who was willing to defend the principles of his nation. Every noon and night at the Court House Plaza, in Baltimore, in front of the City Hall, at the Sun Corner and in the parks all sorts of devices and orators were used to arouse the feeling of the country and persuade our young men to enlist in the service of justice, liberty and universal brotherhood. The bands were out; a tent on a truck, machine guns, a model camp and such things were familiar sights in the cities. A tour through the counties with mule teams and army wagons or an automobile party stirred up the country districts. During this recruiting a process of elimination was going on also. Every man whose support was absolutely necessary for the maintenance of those at home was ANCESTRY AND BIRTH— Com. given his discharge, and the physically unfit were discarded. This was the first process of boiling down. Many more were to come. On August 17th, Gen. Charles D. Gaither and his staff went to Camp McClellan, near Anniston, Ala., to prepare the way for the coming of the Maiyland brigade of volunteers. The camp was to be built in a huge bowl in the midst of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northeastern part of Alabama. When the general arrived, the camp-to-be was a vast tract of 700 acres of rough timber land, with here and there a cotton patch or cornfield. One company from each of the Maryland regiments was ordered down to put the camp in some sort of habitable condition. Roads were made through the fields and woods. On one side of the road a long line of rough wooden mess shacks was built, one for each company. Beyond these an open space was left for the tents of the men, and then came the bathhouses. On the other side of the road was a space for the officers' tents; back of them, their mess shacks and bathhouses. The pioneer companies worked hard every day in the heat and dust of the Sunny South, clearing avvay the brush and cotton and corn to make a fairly respectable place for their comrades who were soon to come. The rest of the regiments were waiting impatiently for the order which would take them south, and finally, on the twelfth of September, it arrived. They were to entrain on Sunday, the i6th, for Anniston. The final preparations were made for the great adventure, when the boys should leave home for the unknown experiences of a very doubtful future. Fond mothers added a few superfluous articles to what Uncle Sam had already furnished. The Red Cross Society gave the boys each a "Comfort Kit," or "Housewife," as some called it, with needles, thread, buttons, soap, toothbrush, comb, scissors, etc. The Maryland Bible Society and the various churches saw to it that each man had a Testament, and they were ready for the leap into the dark. All day Saturday the trains were loaded ; camp was broken and everything was waiting for the order "All Aboard!" Sunday came, a day never to be forgotten, with strange, uncommon scenes. At Laurel, the Fourth and their friends were astir early. The camp site was stripped bare ot every vestige of war. The policing was thoroughly done, and long before train time everybody was eager to be oft. During these days good-byes were said that will have a lasting effect upon all who took part. Out in every nook and corner of the country districts of Maryland these willing defenders of our political faith, with tears glistening in their eyes because of the necessity of separation, but with a deathless devotion to ri'^. ig'tk. -a - mr MP ; i^^ MEUSE-ARGOMNE OFFENSIVE— Cont. At last the hour for which we had waited had arrived ; the regiment was to be placed in the front line, and for its objective was to have the high, wooded hills on the east of the river Meuse — hills which for four long years had remained in German hands and along the top of which could be seen the Hun trenches, protected by many wire entanglements. Supper had just been completed when Colonel Reckord gave the word to put the battalions in motion. The first battalion, with Company A, One Hun- dred and Twelfth Machine Gun Battalion, under Major Barrett, and the second Battalion, with the One Hundred and Fifteenth Machine Gun Company, under Major Hancock, proceeded to Charny, where, under cover of darkness, they crossed the Meuse River and moved north of Samogneux and into position ready for the attack. The third battalion, with Company B, One Hundred and Twelfth Machine Gun Battalion, under Captain Woodcock, moved via Cum- mieres along the road just east of le Mort Homme (Dead Man's Hill) to Regneville, at which point it prepared to cross the river on a pontoon bridge built by French engineers during the night. The first battalion reached its position about 3.30 o'clock on the morning of October 8, and with Companies A and B in the assault positions, supported by Companies C and D, took up the formation for attack. Upon being placed in position, the men, with nothing further to do until zero hour, lay down to snatch what rest they could. The second battalion followed the first into position along the canal and also waited for the final hour. The third battalion, having reached Regneville rested and awaited the completion of the pontoon bridge which would enable them to cross the river. With each battalion was a machine gun company, and with the first bat- talion in addition there were the 37 m. m. guns and trench mortars. The medical detachment and band were also distributed between the several bat- talions and regimental headquarters. The platoon from the Outpost Company of the Field Signal Battalion, together with our own Signal Platoon, was disposed so that proper communication could be maintained between the different ele- ments at all times. And now all waited for the hands of the watches to reach the appointed hour. As this was to be a surprise attack, there was no preparatory fire, but at zero hour, 5 o'clock, the rolling barrage began and the order to advance was given. The barrage was laid about 100 meters in front of the infantry and. 127 CONSENVOYE WOODS. SHOWING GROUND CAPTURED BY 2nd BATTALION MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE— Com. moving forward at the rate of loo meters in six minutes, was closely followed by the infantry. Steadily the barrage approached the main German line run- ning along the crest of Malbrouck Hill. Here it rested for fifteen minutes, after which it was quickly lifted, and Companies A and B rushed forward and captured the position, killing a few and capturing many Huns. To Compam' B belongs the honor of taking the first prisoners. The position was immediately consolidated by the first battalion. All trenches were thoroughly mopped up and machine guns and automatic rifles allocated for defense. At 9 A. M. the second battalion, according to schedule, leaped over the first battalion and, follo\ving the barrage according to prearranged plan, attacked the normal objective. Companies E and H were in the assault posi- tions, supported b}' Companies F and G. The ground for about one kilometer north of the intermediate objective, which had been captured by the first bat- talion, was open and rolling, beyond which the southern edge of Bois de Con- senvoye could be seen. This position was strongly held by the enemy with machine guns, but the battalion moved steadily forward. Companies E and H were soon lost to view in the Bois de Consevoye. Here the fighting became very severe, but the Hun resistance was broken and many prisoners and machine guns were captured. Company E, on the right, moving steadily, captured several ammunition dumps, one engineer dump, a trainway, and finally reached a group of buildings on the normal objective; Company H, on the left, after overcoming a number of machine-gun nests, reached the normal objective about 16.30 o'clock (4.30 P. M.). It was in this attack that Lieutenant Patrick Regan and Automatic Rifle- man Henry G. Costin won their Congressional Medals for one of the bravest deeds of the whole engagement. Realizing that it would be suicide for the company to advance before the machine guns in their front had been silenced. Lieutenant Regan called for volunteers to go forward to capture them. Nearly every man in his platoon volunteered. He picked an automatic rifle team and started forward to what looked like sure death. All were killed but Regan when they reached the gunners, but, nothing daunted, he dashed into the middle of them, demanding their surrender. To his surprise, they shouted "Kamerad!" and immediately gave up. On looking at his pistol later Regan found that it was not even loaded. After this Company H, under able leadership, had com- paratively little difficulty in keeping up with its sister company in the assault. All this time Company F, in support, was nobly doing its dutv in protecting Company E's right flank, exposed by the inability of the One Hundred and CAPTURED PRISONERS CAPTURED PRISONERS MEU5E-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE— Cont. Sixteenth Infantry to keep up. It seems that they were constantly meeting with resistance, due to the great strength of the enemy positions, which were just a little more than they could handle. But Company F bravely threw them- selves into the breach, stopping the turning of the right flank of the regiment. Enemy fire from the sector of the One Hundred and Sixteenth could easily enfilade the right flank of Company E and destroy it. Lieutenant Fred W. Ecker, with the first platoon, and Sergeant John A. Johnson, with the second, crossed the road into the One Hundred and Sixteenth sector and saved the day — a brave feat, which cost them the lives of some of their bravest men. Farmer and Zakoski, among others, made the supreme sacrifice, while fully a dozen others were seriously wounded. That Company F had not been idle was amply demonstrated by the fact that on this day they took 170 prisoners, 20 machine guns, 5 Lewis automatic rifles and large stores of ammunition. The second battalion, after this day's brave work, had reached their normal objective and could have easily passed it, but there was constantly before them that danger of the exposed right, so at nightfall they were obliged to withdraw about 300 meters on the right flank and dig in. The third battalion, receiving no information as to the progress of the second battalion, pressed forward and reached the normal objective on the left of the regimental sector. Here they were ordered to dig in. Regimental post command had, during the early afternoon, crossed the Meuse and been established at Cote des Roches. All along the front line combat groups were placed and dug in for the night. Altogether, the day had been a most successful one; the advance had covered about 45^2 kilometers, about 1,500 prisoners had been cap- tured and much material. The morning of the 9th broke damp and foggy. No advance was ordered for the day. The Huns, however, from their position in the wood, attempted to turn our right flank, which was still exposed, and for some time gave us considerable trouble. Company F was disposed to meet this attack, and in addi- tion the regimental commander sent Companies A and C to assist the second battalion. The attack was repulsed and the enemy withdrew. Throughout the day the signal platoon exerted every effort to connect by telephone all battalion post commands with regimental post command. It was a difficult task at best, and, with high-explosive' shells falling everywhere, not only endangered the men, but continually interrupted communication. Here also the chaplains and the band gave a good account of themselves, carrying in and administering to the wounded and burving, with solemn service, the dead. i--^ . a _«_'^^'.« ' '.r j— A«» RICHINE HILL ENGINEERS REPAIRING ROAD MEUSE-ARG DNNE-OFFENSIVE— Com. The 2,7 ni- m. and Stokes mortar platoons were so placed as to render the greatest assistance to the front-line icompanies, but the advance had been so rapid that ammunition for these guns was hard to keep in supply. The Supply Company, now stationed at Bras, sent forward the rolling kitchens, under cover of darkness, and these were placed in the southern part of Bois de Consenvoye. Regimental headquarters moved to Malbrouck Hill. Late in the afternoon a flotilla of 138 allied planes passed over our lines, flying in the direction of the enemy. It was a gratifying and inspiring sight, but, to our great disappointment, we saw little of them throughout the remainder of the time we were in the line. The advance was ordered resumed on the morning of the loth and, accordingly, the third battalion was ordered to move forward on the left and capture Richine Hill, while the first battalion took up the advance on the right. The second battalion, being held as a support, the first gained about 1000 meters with little difficulty. The third, however, was met with heavy machine-gun fire from Richine Hill, and was stopped until Captain Woodcock called upon the regimental commander for assistance, which was immediately given in the shape of an artillery concentration fire of fifteen minutes' duration. This fire was exceedingly intense and absolutely accurate. Upon its completion the battalion went forward, capturing the hill and the trainway about one kilometer beyond. The right of the division having experienced much harder going, it was necessary for us to hold what we had gained and wait until thej' came up ; and so, for the next few days, our time was devoted to preparing our position for defense, to bringing up supplies and ammunition and doing the little possible to make the men comfortable and to protect them from shellfire. The Supply Company was ordered to Brabant and the ammunition dump also located there. Here the division supply trains delivered rations and ammu- nition, and from this dump they were taken forward under cover of darkness to the companies. The pioneer platoon now found plenty of work to do, hauling ammunition, repairing trainway track and building several dumps throughout the woods. Regimental headquarters attempted to work out a system of relief for front-line troops that would give each battalion forty-eight hours in assault position, with ninety-six hours in support and reserve, but an order from higher authority sending the second battalion to assist the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry soon broke up this plan. The following order for another general advance was issued on October 14: 133 RICHINE HILL. SHOWING MACHINE-GUN NESTS IN TREES CAPTURED BY 3rd BATTALION MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE— Com. SECRET P.

In obedience to this order, the regiment attacked on the morning of October IS and gained about 500 meters, while the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infanti-y carried their line across Molleville Farm clearing and gained a foothold in the Bois de Grande Montague. Regimental post command was now moved from Malbrouck Hill to the "Dutch Village." It was on this date Major Hancock was evacuated to the hospital, and command of the second battalion fell to Captain Thos. G. McNicholas. Another advance was ordered for October 16, and, with the third battalion in the front line in our own sector, the second battalion in the front line in the sector of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry and the first battalion in support, we pushed the line forward about 800 meters into Bois de Piatt Cheve and Bois de Grande Montague. That morning Major Barrett was evacuated, and Captain Munshower took command of the first battalion. The following days were spent in holding the line, strengthening our posi- tions and preparing for another advance. On the 17th the second battalion was relieved of duty with the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry and returned and took position as regimental reserve. Again the One Hundred and Fifteenth had its complete outfit in its own sector, for which regimental headquarters expressed much satisfaction. But practically the entire regiment had been fighting steadily for 48 hours, and so there were no fresh troops with which to relieve the tired ones. For this reason the third battalion was continued in the forward position until the morning of the 17th, when being relieved by the first battalion, the third passed into support. No further advance was ordered, and so the time was devoted to improving as well as possible the defensive line. On the 19th the third battalion relieved the first battalion, companies interchanging position during the late afternoon, and the relief thus effected before dark was accomplished without loss, because of the dense wood, which afforded excellent cover from overhead observation. During the aftei^noon of the 20th the second battalion relieved the third. This placed the second in assault, the first in support and the third in reserve. In these positions they remained for the following fort\'-eight hours. Losses had been severe, and many companies were badly depleted. October 21 orders were issued by regimental headquarters for the One Hundred and Fifteenth to act as a covering detachment to the north and east, protecting the left flank of the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-ninth Divisions in an attack on Etraye Ridge.

Accordingly, the troops remained in place and the officers studied the maps relating to their part of the terrain and awaited the announcement of "D" day and "H" hour. Major Finley returned to the regiment on October 22 and was assigned to command the first battalion. That afternoon "D" day was announced as the 23d and "H" hour 6.15 oclock. During the night of October 22-23 the first battalion moved from its position in support to the assault position in the Bois de Grande Montague, with its left in touch with our second battalion, occupying assault position in our original sector, and its right adjoining the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry. Stokes mortar and 37 m. m. guns were with the first battalion. One Machine Gun Company was with each battalion, and in addition, the artillery and the One Hundred and Tenth Machine Gun Company were to fire an overhead barrage. Conforming to the plan, on the morning of the 23d, at H-45, the artillery and machine guns opened fire, and for forty-five minutes delivered a terrific fire along the entire front. At zero hour the troops moved forward, following the barrage. The second battalion advanced its right a few hundred meters without trouble and dug in. The first battalion, in conjunction with the second, advanced its left, but on the right stubborn resistance was encountered. The line was established and dug in, but during the night was found to be unsatis- factory, and the following morning, October 24, the right was pushed forward to the objective and consolidated. During the afternoon of October 24 that part of the second battalion which was east of meridian 25.5 was relieved by the first battalion. The night of October 24-25 saw the first battalion relieved by the One Hundred and Sixteenth Infantry, and the first went into regimental reserve in Bois de Consenvoye. During the day of October 25 the second battalion was relieved by the third. Our sector now extended from meridian 24 to 25. On October 27 orders were issued to the effect that the division would be relieved and move to a rear area. According to plan, our regiment again assumed control of both sectors, extend- ing from meridian 24 to 26, and on October 27 a regimental order was issued dividing and assigning same as follows : Center of resistance, "Richine," to second battalion; center of resistance, "Molleville," to third battalion; regimental reserve, first battalion. This disposition was immediately effected.

The long-expected relief had come and a sigh of thankfulness welled up from the hearts of us all as we filed down the road past the precious ground we had won to bivouac on the protecting slope of the Cote des Roches. The spirit of thankfulness seemed to predominate, but that sentiment was rivaled by the just pride we felt in the sense of duty done to the bitter end. No matter what share we had had in this World War, no matter how small our record might seem in comparison with other divisions, we could hold up our heads and proclaim to the whole world that we had never been assigned a mission that we had not accomplished. This seemed to be the outstanding glory of the One Hundred and Fifteenth. They were accustom.ed from their very formation back in Camp McClellan to do what they were told and to get what they were sent for. This spirit made them come out first in all drills and competitive maneuvers while training. In Alsace it sent them through their own barrage to the enemy's third-line trenches. Here, in this, the gi'eatest battle the American Army had ever fought, it took them over the Cote des Roches and Malbrouck Hill and the plain into the hitherto impregnable Consenvoye Woods. Nerved by it, they took Richine Hill and the Bois de la Grande Montagne. We felt that we had a regiment of which to be proud in every detail of its organization. We remembered that not only our doughboy fighters, "the bucks in the rear rank," but every part and parcel of that grand old regiment seemed to do things just a little bit better than any other organization (we mean it), and we felt, as we expressed it, that we had "some" regiment. .So far, limitations of space and order have forced us to keep up the thread of our narrative by following the movements of the immediate front line, but we cannot pass over without record the soldierly achievements of those who were not fortunate enough to be members of the letter companies. Our Headquarters Corripany, for instance, functioning in its various duties throughout the regiment, not only performed all that was expected of it, but time and again won for itself undying glory by the exceptional heroism of some of its members. Its one-pounder platoon and Stokes mortar platoon con- tributed in no small degree to giving Fritz more than he could stomach. Its band, engaged in the sacred duties of bringing in the wounded and the dead, was exposed to constant shellfire. Chief Plant was leader of a tjaiia worthy of his own heroic self. And as for the pioneer and signal platoons, we despair of being able to give them even a small part of the credit due them for constant devotion to duty under continuous heavy shelling. Our Machine Gun Com- pany, too, under Captain Jarman, together with the different companies of the One Hundred and Twelfth Machine Gun Battalion, among whom were many MEUSE-ARGOKINE OFFENSIVE— Cont. men recruited from our regiment, did excellent work both on the defense and offense. Captain Hewitt and his "mule skinners" of the Supply Company rushed the rations and supplies to the front as if there was nothing at all to disturb the peace and quiet of their duties. His hardest task seemed to be to keep his men from leaving their teams to go up on the front lines. Our sanitary detachment, under the cool efficiency of Major Vanderhoff, seemed to be all over the line on their errand of mercy. Men like Rafalsky seemed to be fairly plentiful in this little unit, as the number of their D. S. C.'s amply prove. "Doc" Bratton, the irrepressible Dan, was not satisfied with winning the esteem of the entire regiment b)' an incredible amount of very efficient first-aid work ; his love of fun even in the face of death caused him to invent his "anti-gas tablets" (pure aspirin), which kept man)' an imaginary gas case from going to the rear. The mess sergeants, cooks and K. P. in each company kept hot food pre- pared at all times under most trying circumstances. For many days the rolling kitchens were subject to continuous shellfire, and it was but to be expected that some of these brave men would be called upon to give their all. The days without food and water, the nights in the mud and rain, the dangerous outpost duty in shell holes filled with water, the constant dodging of shells, the sight of the wounded, the dying and the dead will always stick vividly in our minds, but our tongues will never be able to make others feel these things as we feel them, because there is nothing else in human experience with which we can compare them. The doughboy called it "hell," and we will let it go at that. And so it was all through the entire regiment. It is only the fear of making this history look like an annotated roster of the regiment that prevents us from narrating them all. And this must serve as our apology for the omission of much that we would like to put in it. Every man of "Maryland's Own," from Colonel Reckord down to the much-abused old "buck in the rear rank," from the sentries of the front line straight on back to Harry Hagan's ammunition dump and the twenty-four-hours-a-day men of the statistical office, had done his full duty. Our total casualties during the operations were as follows : Killed in action : Officers 4 Enlisted men 120 Died of wounds — Enlisted men 7 Severely wounded in action : Officers 2 Enlisted men 223 MEUSE-ARGOMNE OFFEMSIVE— Cont. Slightly wounded in action : Officers 12 Enlisted men 297 Gassed : Officers I Enlisted men 26 Shell shocked : Officers c Enlisted men 26 Missing in action — Enlisted men 15 Accidental wounds — Enlisted men 2 Sick and injured ; Officers A Enlisted men 221 Total. 1052 In this drive the One Hundred and Fifteenth captured about 1800 prisoners and the following enemy material : One German 77-miIlimeter gun. One Austrian "88.'' One Austrian "105," One Austrian "150." Two Minenwerfer. Two Granatenwerfer. 800 Austrian and German rifles. 200 automatic pistols. One scissors telescope. One radio outfit with bicycle generator. Sixty heavy machine guns. Twenty Lewis machine guns. Two anti-tank rifles. Two engineer dumps completely stocked with engineering material. 2600 rounds of light and heavy artillery ammunition. Countless rounds of machine-gun, rifle ammunition and grenades. MEUSE-ARGONNE OFFENSIVE— Com. No wonder, then, that our heads were held high with pride as we hiked back over the ground we had won. No wonder that they were reverently bowed in soldierly grief as we passed the spots where our heroes had fallen. On the one hand were the achievements of the One Hundred and Fifteenth; on the other, their cost. The morning of October 29 found the tired and weary regiment bivouaced behind the high hills along the Meuse River. Kitchens were fired up and hot meals furnished. Here the regimental commander found his outfit when he came out of the line the following day, having remained with the Three Hun- dred and Sixteenth for twenty-four hours. A tired and weary regiment it was, having spent twenty-one days continuously in fighting, but secure in the knowledge that it had gained every objective, and that it had played no small part toward the final defeat of the Hun. a^^ TKe Armistice u CHAPTER EIGHT SCENES ON OUR WAY BACK FROM THE FRONT CKapter VIII. THE ARMISTICE IHEN darkness came on that night of October 29, although every man was worn to a frazzle, it was not hard to hike away from that ''hell on earth" to some place which promised quiet, food and unbroken sleep. After supper near the piles of stone that marked the ruined village of Samogneux, the remains of the 115th Infantry started for the barracks at the immortal city of Verdun, some 10 or 12 kilometers away. The column was scattered out thinly so that if a shell should hit on the road it would not get many of us. There were plenty of valuable "souvenirs" lying around ever}^- where. We would like to have some of them now, but then, all we cared to do was to get away with our lives. As we hurried along, there was a dread fear lest having spent three weeks in the midst of the worst and escaped untouched a stra}- shell might get us at the last minute. At one point a sentry told us to hurry around the bend in the road, as the Germans were dropping a good man}' shells at that particular place. Needless to say, we hurried. Private Stewart M. Emery of our own 29th Division has vividly described that hike in the following poem : THE DIVISION GOES BACK Slogging back from action in the night, Boys who've had their fingers in the fight ; Winding in the moonlight down the shattered village street Crunching oft the kilos on their numb and laden feet. Couldn't pass inspection as to dress, What they've been through anyone can guess — Saering gas and cruel wire and blazing blasting shell. Frozen, foodless, flare-mad nights and days of raw, red hell. THE ARMISTICE— Cont. Shrapnel battered transport in the rear, Weary mule and weary muleteer ; Just another outfit that's been through the mill up there Rocking back lor roll-call and repair. Straggling in the column anyhow. Plodding blindly on to bunks and chow; Tired faces breaking in the same unbeaten grin, Other faces missing that were there when they went in. Here and there platoons of scarce a score, Squads of one and two — but that is war. Made a little history when they called them in the pinch. Chucked the cost and made it, battling inch by aching inch. Silentl}- they pass beneath the stars, Carr3'ing their honors and their scars. Growl and glare of gunfire growing fainter in the west Old division's going back to rest. Sometime before midnight we arrived in the dark, narrow streets of A'^erdun and were directed to a sleeping place for the night. These sleeping places were not feather beds or spring beds in beautiful hotels, but the bare wooden floors of the big brick barracks where for years before the war, the French Government had trained her soldiers. We put on our overcoats, gloves, pulled our overseas caps down over our ears and lay down to sleep. The next morning we were awakened by the stirring music of some military band. It was the first note of music any of us had heard for more than a month ; the first indication that possibly we would live again under normal, civilized conditions. We washed and shaved as we used to do back in camp. It took a long time to remove those stubborn whiskers since some of them had been undisturbed for three, six days — a week or more. Finally, our faces and hands were fairly clean and after a good breakfast, some of us went over to see Verdun, a city whose name we speak with a deep feeling of respect — yes, reverence. Before the war it was a beautiful city of 22,000 happy, prosperous French- men ; today not a single civilian could be found anywhere, not a dog nor even a stray cat; it was a city of ruin and desolation. Yet, it had played a mighty THE ARMISTICE— Cont. part and a victorious part in the war. It was the Frenchman's greatest lort, trul}- the citadel of France. Around this sacred place some of the mightiest conflicts were waged. At the beginning of the war in 1914, the Germans found Verdun as solid and immovable as Gibraltar and they had to bend their line around her. In the summer of 1916 the Crown Prince was determined to take her at any cost and sent hundreds of thousands of his best troops against her again and again. The dogged, grim French under General Petain said: "On ne passe pas" — "They shall not pass." Hundreds of thousands of French- men gave their lives in her defense and she stood impregnable. Now she formed the background and support in the great American-'Meuse-Argonne Offensive. We roamed about among the ruins of this battered city. Not a building had escaped the destructive German shell. What had been beautiful suburban homes had great ugly holes torn in the sides or roof. The office buildings, stores, theater, cathedral — everything was more or less demolished. The great cathedral built on the highest point of the city, with its two towers reaching out toward heaven as if they were pleading for help, impressed one particu- larly with the ruthless ravages of war. It looked as though the devil himself had sent some special imp from hell to desecrate this beautiful, holy place. The entire roof had fallen in; great shell holes had been torn in the walls; every window had been smashed into a thousand pieces ; altars were wrecked and covered with debris ; priceless paintings were ripped and scared ; sacred images were broken and mutilated. The whole city was a wreck. And still the bitter, spiteful Hun, even at this time, was firing big shells a distance of 12 or 15 miles into the city. One would land about ever}' ten minutes with a terrific crash. It seemed to us like the dying kick of some monstrous beast. The only place of safety and order was in the citadel deep down in the earth. Here thousands of soldiers were quartered, several military stores were oper- ated and a dining-room maintained on a strict, war-ration basis, for the bene- fit of stragglers who could get food nowhere else. We found a Y. M. C. A. canteen established in the corner of a building that had escaped total destruc- tion. The "Y" workers had many eager customers that day pleading for cakes, candy and cigarettes. We learned of a place where we wottld get a hot bath — a luxury greatly to be desired since no one had had his clothes off for about a month — but when that place was found only a hundred men could be accommodatecl and a thousand were waiting for a chance. We returned to our barracks for supper and found the regiment about ready to move on back. When darkness came on, these weary warriors THE ARMISTICE— Cont. gathered together what equipment they had left and hit the pike back a few miles to a big woods beyond the range of Germany's heaviest guns. There for the first time in more than four weeks we went to sleep without the feel- ing that any second we might be blown into eternity. In spite of the fact that the wooden shacks were cold and the floors hard, we slept soundly all night. The next day was bright and clear and crisp. After breakfast we hiked down the road and found hundreds of big French trucks there waiting to carry the whole regiment far down the Verdun-Bar-le-Duc pike to our rest area. The men climbed into the trucks with glee and were soon rolling down the road to a change of clothes, a bath, a good bunk, and three square meals a day. We passed through Bar-le-Duc and went five miles or more beyond. Our first battalion with other organizations of the 29th Division was located in Robert-Espange. The second battalion, headciuarters company and regimen- tal headquarters were c^uartered in a little village called Beurey and the third battalion went on to a village a few miles beyond. By the time we had all found our bunks, it was time to go to sleep. This was the first night for about a month many of us had an opportunity to remove our clothing and sleep comfortably. The next day our cleaning-up process began. At Robert- Espange there was a permanent bathhouse near a little stream. It was crowd- ed with soldiers all day. They came in droves with clean clothing, soap and towels eager to find some hot water and a real bath. Oh, the luxury of a good bath! One does not fully appreciate it until he has lived in mud and vermin for a month or more and been denied it. Portable bathhouses on wheels were hauled into the little villages and the different companies were assigned their bathing hours. The bathhouses were kept going late into the night so the regiment could be bathed as soon as possible. The "de-cootie- izing," "de lousing" process began here also and was to continue until we were mustered out seven months later. It would not be surprising if many of the men just from force of habit did not examine their clothing with that strange look of suspicion long after they were home. After a few nights of good sleep, plenty of nourishing food and clean clothing, we began to feel more normal. The band — what was leftofit — began to play again and "Y" entertainers came out from Bar-le-Duc several nights a week to try to make us laugh again, which they succeeded in doing. About a thousand men were sent to our regiment to take the places of those we lost in the big scrape. Thus the old regiment, a veteran regiment now, tattered, depleted and exhausted as it came from the terrible ordeal of the Meuse- THE ARMISTICE— Cont. Argonnc offensive, was fed up, rested up, patched up, equipped, and in ten days' time was ready ior another descend into hell. From numerous rumors that reached ns, it was evident tliat Germany was weakening and all but crushed. A report came saying that the Germans had sent officers across the line to ask for an armistice. We were all delighted and hoped the end might really come before we were called into another kill- ing drive. Word came that the old Kaiser had abdicated. It seemed too good to be true and yet all these reports sent our hopes high. On the night of November 10, however, all hopes were dashed to the ground ; we received an order stating that the 29th Division had been transferred from the First to the Second American Army and should proceed by marching via certain vil- lages to the left of Metz, the best of all Germany's fortified cities. It was an order sending us into another drive, probably worse than the Meuse- Argonne. To many of us it sounded like a death sentence ; and it was, for had it been carried out, we would have lost another third of our regiment, but in the army orders must be followed even though they mean death. So, on the morning of November 11, we rolled our packs, said good-bye to the few French friends we had made and with heavy hearts turned grim faces toward Metz, determined to battle on to decisive victor}'. Just before we began our march into another big offensive, we received an official order from Division Headquarters stating that the armistice had been signed, that all hostilities would cease at 11 o'clock that day, and that our regiment should remain comfortably in its billets rather than go into hell again. You can imagine — no, you can't imagine, it is impossible for anyone to imagine who did not experience it — the sense of relief and pure joy that came in our hearts. Although we had been expecting an armistice to be signed for some time, the full significance of it dawned upon us only gradually. At first we took it quietly. The feeling of gratitude was too deep for noisy expression. Instead of running out in the street, yelling, and turning a hand spring, we felt like stealing away into some lonely spot and crying for sheer joy. We were happy, so happy that the hellish enemy of justice and brother- hood had fallen into the dust of defeat and that it was not longer necessary to kill and be killed, that we quietly looked at each other, whispered a "Thank God" and wondered if it could really be true. As the day wore on and everj'body confirmed the report that the armis- tice had actually been signed by proper authorities that morning at 5.40, the first deep, quiet feeling of joy gave place to enthusiasm and hilarity. French- men came down the street waving newspapers and saying: "La guerre finit; 164 THE ARMISTICE— Cont. la guerre finit." "Yes, the war was over." Victory was ours. Injustice, cruel oppression, disregard for international law were defeated. Righteousness was on the throne of the world again. At retreat that evening as the regiment stood at attention drawn up on the long, narrow village street, while the'"Star- Spangled Banner" was being played by the band, the American flag was fired in the form of a flare high into the air. Then while the band played the French '"Marseillaise," we stood at attention again and the French flag was shot up in the air alongside "Old Glory." It was a thrilling sight to see those two flags of sister republics, emblems of justice, eciualit}^ and fraternit3% float- ing side by side in triumph over this little village — yes, in triumph over the world. While the Colonel and his staft" were eating supper that evening, the band came up without orders — the first time in its history — and played enthusiastically in honor of the day. After an orderly concert for half an hour, the members of the band exchanged instruments, each taking one he did not know how to play, and blew their heads off just making a noise. They, led a big regimental snake dance that surged up and down the dark, muddy, narrow street of Beurey. A little later we lined the road along a field where the fireworks were to be displayed. Lieutenant Hagan announced he was going to blow up his whole ammunition dump. We knew he had a good sup- ply of fancy flares on hand and preferred to stand off and watch them fired in fun, rather than to lie on our stomachs some dark night in a dreadful battle and see them fired as serious signals. We had all kinds of flares ; one star, two star, five star, flares of white and green and red. They were supposed to be used in battle to call for an artillery or machine-gun barrage or a gas attack, but that night, November 11, 1918, we used them recklessly and joy- ously to announce to the world that the Hun was licked, licked to a frazzle, and we needed no more artillery, no more gas. When the fireworks were done, we went down to the big chateau where the colonel lived for our final act of the evening's celebration. We filed into the grounds through the big iron gates. The chateau was owned by a wealthy French family belonging to the aristocracy. Before the war it was the scene of many social affairs of laughter, song and gayety. During the war the family had become broken and scattered, and the big chateau. cold and gloomy now, seemed a tombstone to remind one of a type of life that was dead. But tonight, in strange contrast to its sad appearance during the war, it was ablaze with light, candles burning in every window. We gathered in front of the main entrance. Red. white and green lights lit up the beautiful grounds and BAR-LE-DUC. VERDUN AND STAINVILLE THE ARMISTICE— Cont. the light-hearted air of gayety ruled again. Pretty soon the colonel came to go to his room. \\'hen he reached the doorwa}', three 3-oung French women, dressed in red, white and blue, met him, one of them carrying a large bouquet of beautiful flow.ers. She could speak English a little, and with that peculiar French accent made a short speech presenting the col'onel with the bouquet. The speech was something like this: "My dear col-o-nel, I do not speak Eng- lish very well, but I will do my best in the name of my little village and of m}^ great country to thank you and all brave American soldiers for the help you gave us. I regret that I am not able to make my thanks very long, but I do it with all my heart." The colonel thanked the young lady for the appre- ciation she had shown and had expressed in behalf of France. He said he was proud that America had had an opportunity to do something for the deliverance of France and the whole world from German tyranny. Then he turned to the men of the regiment and thanked them for their heroic service and urged them to uphold the reputation of the 115th in whatever work they might be called upon to do in times of peace. A great many French civilians and a few French soldiers were in the crowd, so the colonel called upon Chaplain McLaughlin, who speaks French as well as a Frenchman and knows it better, to express his thoughts to the French people. Chaplain McLaughlin delighted them with his good French as well as with his splendid speech. He said something like this : "My dear Frenchmen; I have been charged by my colonel with the duty of expressing to you his appreciation of the little compliments you have paid him this eve- ning. These testimonials of affection shown the Americans by the French people show clearly that there still exists that mutual love which inspired your great country to aid us with your money and noble-hearted soldiers in the infancy of our republic. Now that we have grown to powerful young manhood, we still remember with sentiments of intense gratitude that aid which was given to us in the day of our sore need. And seeing an old ally brought to her knees, bled white and dying in dark despair, we could not do otherwise without forsaking our manhood, than come with our every resource to her assistance." The French people were greatly pleased. We sang a few songs and went to our billets feeling that one of the greatest days in the history of the world had come to a close — the day that marked the end of the great World War. Feelmg that the war was over and the purpose for which we had come to France was accomplished, we would have been glad to start for America the next day, but it had taken time to get an army of 2,000,000 Americans in 167 THE ARMISTICE— Cont. France and it was going to take time to get them back. We stayed in Buerey for a few days to make sure that hostilities had actually ceased, and then we set out for our permanent billeting area near Bourbonne-les-Bains. We hiked part of the way ; rode in trucks part of the way; and went the rest of the dis- tance by rail. It was a cold ride in box cars that night of November 20, and we were mighty glad when we arrived at Vitrey, our destination, even though it was only four o'clock in the morning. We got out of those refrigerator cars just as quickly as we could and soon there was a dozen good-sized camp fires burning merrily along the railroad track. The soldiers sat around, swapped stories, joked and began to speculate on how soon we would go home. As daylight came on, the trains were unloaded, kitchens fired up, and before long we were eating breakfast, not at a ta'ble in a house, but leaning up against a fence, sitting on a box or on the railroad track or standing first on one foot, then another. After breakfast we loaded up and hiked to our prescribed billets three little villages, each about five or six miles from Bourbourn-les-Bains where Division Headquarters was located. Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Company, M. G. Company were located in Fresnes-sur-Apance, together with the three Machine Gun Battalions of the division. The first and second bat- talions were located in Senaide, and the third battalion was located at Ain- velle with Company M, just a mile or two bej^ond at Fouchecourt. There was nothing attractive about any of these villages — absolutely nothing. They were typical, little French villages poverty stricken by the war. We were parceled around in barns and barracks. Winter was coming on and there were no stoves, no straw for our bed sacks, no wood, not even sufficient candles, so that living was pretty tough for awhile. There was no place to go in the evenings, except to a wine shop ,or to bed, and as the wine shops would hold only a small proportion of the men, about 90 per cent, went to bed at 5.30 or 6 o'clock. These conditions did not last long, however, as every effort was made to get straw, stoves, candles, magazines, games and recrea- tion centers. We hoped to get away soon and the sooner the better. There were rumors of going into Germany as a part of the Army of Occupation and rumors of going home : we just lived on these rumors. The constant plea was, "Where do we go from here, bovs ; where do we go from here?" =^N^=^E Waiting — Wistful Waiting CHAPTER Kf I Ki E SCENES IN SEN A IDE CKapter IX. WAITING-WISTFUL WAITING ! 'E had always felt a decided interest in the man who defined life as : "Just one d m thing after another," but from now on there will be between him and us that sincere good fellow- ship which goes with a perfect mutual understanding. Look- ing back on those five months spent at Fresnes, Senaide and Ainvelle we rise to endorse his definition in the most solemn and emphatic manner. "That's me all over, Mabel." We had thought that we had completely run the gamut of things endur- able. Experiences running from the sands of the Mexican 'border to the mud of the Meuse-Argonne are generally calculated to make a man believe that he has seen about all there is to see and that he has undergone about all the sensations the heart is capable of. We were to find out, however, that there was still a little bit of hell which we had not yet visited ; we were to get so "cussed" homesick doing nothing over there by the manure piles that we all swore that if the Goddess of Liberty ever wanted to see us again after we landed in the good old U. S. A. that amiable young lady would have to "about face." If someone had told us we would be as bad as that we would never have believed him. From the Colonel down to Joe O'Malley of Supply Company fame you never saw such a homesick bunch in your life. Along this line several incidents occurred which were pathetic. The Baltimore "Sun," gra- ciously and efficiently represented by ]Mrs. Marguerite E. Harrison, had sent us their films "Miles of Smiles," pictures of the folks back home in God's country. Many a boy was touched even to tears as he beheld the face of wife or mother, sister or brother smile out at him from the screen. Colonel Reck- ord at once realized the valuable influence that these films would have on the morale of his men in the circumstances in which they then found themselves and put himself to considerable effort to see that the 3,000 men of his regi- ment scattered through three little country towns should see these pictures even several times. Mrs. Harrison and her films were always sure of a grace- ful reception, but the Colonel to show his appreciation would put aside all other engagements to attend these "movies" in person. REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS AT FRESNES WHERE THE MEN LIVED WAITING— WISTFUL WAITING— Cor.t. On the occasion of his first visit with the fihns to the Third Battalion in Ainvelle when the laces of Mrs. Reckord and little Gladys were thrown on the screen, some "old buck" in the rear of the "shack" yelled: "Who wants to go home now?" Quick as a flash the Co'-one! turned — not to reprove, not to command silence, he was too human for that — the smile the boys loved was on his face, as he came back with the reply that brought down the house: "Boy, you SAID IT." That's the way the Colonel felt and the regiment felt with him. We do not want to seem to exaggerate this homesick feeling nor do we want to fall into the mistake of thinking that the emotions which were passing through our own hearts must necessarily be faithful copies of what was transpiring in the hearts of the several thousand other men of the 113th Infantry. It may even be that on reading these lines some "hard boiled Inick" will swear that he was not homesick even in the slightest degree, Init if that gentleman will be willing to stand up and make this statement to the whole 115th Infantry, we will reluctantly admit that perhaps he was an exception. Certainly the conversation of the men, their letters, their jokes, we might almost say their whole daily life centered about that one topic. Going Home. No longer did the soldier yell, "When do we eat?" Now it was, "When are we going home?" Our most interesting occupation was to run down the latest rumor rela- tive to our going home, and some of them surpassed in fertility of imagination the best fiction we have ever read. Sometimes it would be Captain Hewitt who would swear that the Y. M. C. A. were already on the move ; or again, Larry Connely or some other Sergeant of the Supply Company would declare on oath that we had already been issued bathing suits for the crossing of the Atlantic. Every month Captain Harlan Johnson would tell the First Ser- geants of the different companies that we would move just as soon as we were "up" on our paper work. Now and then we would get a tip straight from headquarters. One of General Morton's mess orderlies had heard the General say in one of his rare loquacious moments that we were second on the list, and if not more than three or four divisions were rtm in ahead of us we would probably be about the eleventh or twelfth to sail. It was a great life! Six months were to pass before these fond rumors were to materialize and there was nothing for it but to settle down as best we could -in our new "homes." There was nothing particularly attractive about any of these vil- lages. At no time was there c^uestion as to which battalion was "better off." The difficultv was rather to decide which was "worse off." WAITING— WISTFUL WAITING— Com. Fresnes-sur-Apance, built on the side of a 45 per cent, grade, might have been very picturesque when viewed from certain angles, but we never got those angles. We were in constant fear of having one leg grow longer than the other from walking with one leg up hill and the other down. The church, the "Mairie" and probably a hundred homes of the combination residence — stable type, so peculiar to Western France, made up the village. No men were to 'be seen except such as appeared to be around the age of 50 years and even these were scarce. Women and children seemed to be doing their best to "hold the fort." Madeiiioiselle milked the cows, and cleaned the stables, ploughed the ground and brought in the hay. Mademoiselle was really the "whole show" ; and the only thing "stirring" in the village. That she wel- comed the advent of the American soldiers goes without saying. Human nature being human, she could not do otherwise. When the winter's manure piles had to be hauled to the fields one might well trade a few smiles for several hours husky labor, and then, too, if one was real good to these Amer- icans, by some mysterious means they could perform the impossible and get a pound or two of sugar. "Ou la la, lis etaient des braves gens, ces Amer- icains !" Fresnes enjoyed the proud distinction of being the seat of our Regimental Headquarters and the place of residence of our Colonel and his staff. Long will those days stick in our memory. Perish the day when we forget the heroic efforts of Lieutenant Harry Hagan, R. M. O., to provide us a sc^uare meal at 'Madame Bournot's. Ah, the tears of joy and sadness that therein were shed as we tried to live on his fare and live up to his regulations. Harry, time has not yet healed the wounds our feelings suffered when you insisted on our breakfasting at 7.15. Once again, we say it, "His Excellency, General Sherman was right." Yet, now and then a ray of sunshine pierces through the blackest clouds. Mrs. John A. Toller, Y. M. C. A., came to grace our table and to protect Harr}^ from our attacks. Her rare vivacity of character and the splendid good-fellowship with which she distributed her charming good nature impar- tially among all, soon made her the idol of the mess. We never did think much of Wallace Moore as a poet, but we did not blame him much for resort- ing to poetr}' to tell Mrs. Toller how we all appreciated her sunny presence. We do not like to misquote Wallace, but we believe that one of the lines said something about: "Sister to a thousand men." What Mrs. Toller was to Fresnes, able, efficient Afiss Jenkins, Y. !M. C. A., was to Senaide ; while Ainvelle and the Third Battalion were the proud WAITING— VC'ISTFUL WAITING— Cont. possessors, too, of the brightest little sun-flowers, that ever grew up amid the cotton fields of Georgia. Yes, we're from Gawgia, from now on. These charming recruits did much to stave ofif the epidemic of gang-plank-blues, and we believe they made many a boy "tighten up" as he remembered what he had waiting for him back home. We feel sure that the llSth will never forget them. Maiay things were done to try to put a bit of spice in the weary, dreary monotony of those long weeks. The Chaplains thought they would pull off a real, old-fashioned, American barbecue in celebration of Thanksgiving Day. An ox was a difficult thing to find and if found, it was even more difficult to pry it loose from its French owner. Since Chaplain McLaughlin, our regi- mental expert at speaking French and handling the French people was away. Lieutenant Bayley Brower was selected for the job of buying an ox. Armed with his forty-.five and a good little dictionary he started out to market. After several hours' bargaining, prefaced with the usual ceremonies, he solemnly concluded the contract by which we were to receive a two-year-old ox, dressed and ready for the roast on Thanksgiving Day, for the modest sum of 1,000 francs. The boys brought it over and the Supply Company went to work on the preparations for our barbecue. They dug a pit three by six and two feet deep and scandalized the French peasants by burning wood in it for a whole half day in order to have a bed of coals to roast our buffalo. Well, Mr. Buff was slung over that bed of coals and he was turned and turned again and then turned some more ; all that night and all the next day — and then it rained! We learned then why they called the Frenchmen "frogs." If we stayed long enough in this country we would surely "croak" ourselves. Chaplain Reynolds had made all arrangements for a fitting celebration around the roasted ox and to have "Chief" Plant and his faithful band lull us to sleep with their soothing melodies, but it was the drip of the rain through the leaks in the stable that more or less gently soothed us to sleep that night. But many of us had become accustomed to mud and rain and the First and Second Battalions insisted on staging a football game just to "let on" that it was Thanksgiving. After crawling around in the mud for a couple of hours the men lined up for a slice of their "buff'." They slapped him between two pieces of bread and stood out in the rain chewing on him trying to make themselves believe they were having a good time. The chiefs of the Army and the heads of the different Welfare Organiza- tions were becoming alarmed over the fearfully wretched position the men were in. owing to the lack of sufficient healthv relaxation. There were drills . • ^ t^t*^ Mje * iiy^^^v^^^^^ WJ^^^/^^^^ • -^1, ><>T HOME WITH THE FRENCH WAITING -WISTFUL WAITING— Cont. enough and details enough, as we all unanimously admitted, but not even the Army can keep a man occupied during all ol his waking hours. Oppor- tunities for athletics were limited owing to the fact that the French had every blade of grass counted and where there was such a crowd, only a few could profit from a ball game. We had a show or movies once or twice a week, but not everybody could or would enjoy them, so to fill up a well defined lack, the Army schools were proposed. On account of the uncertainty of our state cmd a host of difficulties scarcely to be imagined except by one thoroughly acquainted with the circumstances, not much practical value from an educa- tional point of view was accomplished, but they certainly did succeed in worrying the school officers for awhile. They had to devote more time to making out reports than to teaching and the matter became almost ridiculous in its complications because most of the classes would embrace students ranging in caliber from that of the university graduate down to that of an unsuccessful candidate for admission to a kindergarten. It had been "some" job to beat the Germans, but this job had them all "beat." Competition, they say, is the spice of life, and three or four little afliairs of competition came to put a little spice into the life of the 115th Infantry. Chief among them was the contest for places on the divisional football team and here the 115th, true to form, maintained its high standard of "second to none" by winning seven places in competition with the whole division. This team, more than half 115th Infantry, made a glorious name for itself by defeating and going to within a half a point of the Corps Championship. They tied the score once with the husky Texan 36th Division for that title and it was only by a lucky drop kick that their opponents finally put them out of the running. Major Woodcock's Third Battalion also brought great glory to the regi- ment b}" running well up in the race for the title of the best manuevering battalion in the A. E. F. They triumphed over everything, first in the regi- ment itself, then over the best battalion of the 116th Infantry, our sister regiment from Virginia; then over the best battalion of the entire 57th Brigade from New Jersey, thus enjoying first place in the 29th Division. They were chosen, therefore, to represent the 29th Division in a contest with the best battalion of the Sixth Regular Army Division and the best battalion of the 81st National Army Division. In this contest our battalion lost by a very small percentage. The perfect score was 4,000 points. The Sixth Division Battalion was given first place with 3,150 points, our battalion was second with 3,009 points, and the 81st Division was last with 2.744. Practically every SIDE-DOOR PULLMAN'S WAITING— WISTFUL WAITING— Com. manaeuvre had been held in wind, snow or rain, and after long hikes or bus rides, so the men really did not know whether to be glad or sorr)' when they finally lost out. General Pershing's visit lor review of the division on March 25 gave us another chance to show off. "Black Jack" had paid us a visit when we were in the trenches in Alsace, but this was our first experience of any account with him, and the 115th was determined to show him what a real regiment was like. At five in the morning everything was humming. A nice flat parade ground had been picked out and by 10 o'clock the whole division had been massed and was waiting for the inspection which was not destined to transpire until about 1 o'clock. And that wait was to be typical of our whole stay in France. Again it rained ! Xot only once, but a half a dozen times that memorable morning. Our nice flat parade ground was transformed into a lake. In water over our shoe-tops we stood reflecting on the glorious life of the soldier, while big Major Eubanks swore that if ever anyone of his boys at home "stepped out with the left loot," he'd kill the son-of-a-gun. With all the appropriate ruffles and flourishes General Pershing pulled up in his limousine, and then we watched to see how he would founder around in that lake. To tell the truth we did not expect to see such ganieness under that four-starred coat. We thought that he would content himself with a perfunctory inspection in view of the "exceptional" circumstances. But not he ! Spick and span and as dapper as they make them, he plowed into the mud and water and when he had finished, he could have told just how many buttons were missing in the whole division. Not a single man escaped the closest scrutiny, and all the time he traveled through that mud and water at a speed which sorely taxed his accompanying staft'. He seemed the youngest man of them all. After making this personal inspection of all infantry regiments, he took his place again in front of the division facing it. Immediately in front of him was the group of officers and men who were to be decorated for distinguished service. Back of them adding a dash of color and unusual beauty to the general somber setting were the four regimental American flags and the four regimental flags. Back of the colors was the division staff. Slightly to the- rear and on either side were the brigade commanders and their staffs : then the colonels and their staffs and behind them the regiments. The division stood at attention. It was a stirring sight. The division adjutant stepped out in front of the decoratees and read the individual citations and resumed his place. The four regimental bands massed into one great band played DE-COOTIE-IZING- BY MACHINE IV^\ '■■ -mi -BY HAND WAITING— WISTFUL WAITING— Cont. "The Star-Spangled Banner." The four American flags were lifted into the sunlight, for the clouds had scattered ; the regimental flags were lowered; Every soldier from the Commander-in-Chief to the lowest private stood rigidly at salute ; the civilians and French peasants took oft' their hats. It was an impressive moment. In silence — almost reverence — we were paying- tribute and honor to our nation and the great principles for which it stands. When the National Anthem was finished, General Pershing came forward and pinned the various decorations upon each man and gave him a hearty handshake in congratulation. This done, he decorated the different regi- mental flags. As he approached each flag, it was lowered and he tied above it a beautiful ribbon, bearing the names of the engagements in which the various regiments fought. We felt a bit prouder of our regiment when the color sergeants returned with that ribbon flying above our flag. When the decoration ceremony was over. General Pershing, General Morton and their guests took their places on the reviewing stand and the division marched by in column of companies. Those standing upon the hill- side watching the review say it was the most magnificent military spectacle they had ever seen. The oiled helmets and 'fixed bayonets glistened and gleamed in the sunlight as that vast body moved across the field. Some person, thrilled by the sight and moved by the power it represented, said, "That is one of the reasons Germany signed the armistice." Quickly the regiments were assembled about the stand. All mounted officers were ordered to one side out of the way and the soldiers crowded as closely as possible to their great leader. America may be proud of such a representative among foreigners for he is a typical American, alert and c|uick in action with a strong face, keen eye, gracious manner and genial bearing. In his speech he congratulated the division upon the endurance it had shown in hardships and the bravery and skill it had displayed in battle. He thanked us in his own behalf, in behalf of the other divisions who fought with us, in behalf of the American people, in behalf of the Allies and the world for what we had done. He also paid a high tribute to the American Army because of the manner in which it overcame moral enemies in those days of peculiar temptation. Again he thanked us and was gone to inspect the wagon trains, machine gun battalions, engineers and artillery regiments which were lined up along all nearby roads. The order to "unscramble" was given. Soon the regiments were formed ; the bands began to play and we marched back to our billets, tired and wet GOOD-BYE. WERE OFF FOR HOME WAITING— WISTFUL WAITING— Cont. and hungry ; but glad to have had a part in the big game ; proud of our divi- sion and still more proud of our own Maryland regiment. The happiest part of it all was the insinuation the General let fall that we would soon be on our way back home. At last, our exile was soon to end. A few more weeks passed, during which some of the men received very much enjoyed furloughs to Aix-les-bains, Nice and similar lower areas and then on the long-to-be-remembered April 14 we were ordered to entrain for the embarkation area at Le-Mans. Nobody "kicked" about hikes, then. Everything was forgotten and for- given. Every kilometer from Passovant, our point of entraining to Connerrie vvdiere we debarked was drawing us nearer home, and we would gladly have stayed on the train for two weeks instead of two days under those conditions. From Connerrie, the railroad junction, we marched to the picturesque little town of Bonnetable. This neat, clean little town with its exceptionally hos- pitable people was a welcome surprise to us. The regiment was again spread out over three little villages with its headquarters at Bonnetable. Here, we passed two very plasant weeks, thanks to the hospitality of the people in general and M. le due de Rochfoucault in particular. The latter devoted his whole time to our entertainment and placed his beautiful home and grounds at our disposal. His kindness is one of the most pleasant memories that we brought back from France. Those last few weeks were pretty busy ones at that. All paper work had to be cleared up and above all the last stray "cootie" had to be steamed to death. "Reading shirts" was a daily occupation and woe to the man who was found guilty of harboring one of the best. He was given the maximum penalty possible in the ring: he was turned over to the tender mercies of the members of his own squad, who, through fear of becoming possessed them- selves and consequently held up at the gang plank, soon made life so miser- able for die offender that he spent all his spare time in chasing his tiny friends over the hurdles. On April 28 we entrained for St. Nazaire, the port of embarkation. It is no exaggeration to say that some of us were almost hysterical with joy. We knew that if we ever got that far it would be a hard thing to hold us up. Again the hardships of France's side door Pullmans were passed over as trifles. We scarcely noticed that we nearly froze that night we were going to the border of the Atlantic Ocean and on the other side of that ocean lay the e-ood old U. S. A. God bless her ! OUR BAND IN A LEAVE AREA. THAT EXPLAINS "THE GIRLS" DUKE'S HOME AT BONNETABLE 3^*C Homeward Bound CHAPTER imml TEN ROLLING THE BRINY DEEP— WE ARE STILL HUNTING CCOTIES Cnapter X HOMEWARD BOUND HAVING arrived at the last lap — the home stretch, minutes seemed like hours to us. St. Nazaire was pretty enough ; it was one of the largest towns in which we had been quar- tered in France ; many, indeed, were the attractions, but the one thing about St. Nazaire that attracted us was the fact that it bordered on the one side of the Atlantic Ocean and the United States bordered on the other. "Shirt Reading" and physical examination seemed to us to be never end- ing. Now and then we indulged in a little snappy "close order" drill just to show the "casuals" of St. Nazaire what kind of an outfit was the 115th. Even the "Heinie" prisoners sat up and took notice of some of the companies. Butlers, "silent manual" had them all looking. We had two formal parades which created quite a favorable impression. But it was very hard to get anybody interested in anything but the one subject; just when would our boat come in? For awhile nothing definite could be learned. There was some fear that we would be split up and sent over on different boats, but Colonel Reckord finally managed to obtain, passage for the whole 115th and our allies, the 112th Machine Gun Battalion, on board the U. S. S. Artemis. Only the knowledge that she was bringing us home ever made the Artemis supportable to us. She had formerly been a cattle boat carrying about 1,800 horses, and now she had about 4,000 men crowded on board. Quarters were so cramped that the men would have to keep perpetually in line to get their three meals per day. It would take so long to come to the end of the line with the limited kitchen facilities that usually No. 1 man would carry his chow around to the tail of the line and camp there in order to be ready for the next meal. Chief Plant did his best to save us from dying entirely in misery by bringing out the few members of his band who could crawl. It was laugh- able sometimes to see Thompson try to suck a lemon and blow a cornet at the THE BAND AT WORK GROUP OF OFFICERS HOMEWARD BOUND— Cont. same time. Little by little, however, we all got over the sea-sickness and life commenced to look rosy again to us. We really almost picked up a liking for the Artemis, but our affection was too sorely tried when we saw boat after boat pass us homeward-bound. We have not looked up the statistics on the subject, but we are all willing to l^et that the Artemis was the slowest boat on the Atlantic Ocean at that time. Some of us very nearly met with sudden death at the hands of one of the ship's crew, "Joe Fisher," champion light- weight of the Atlantic Fleet, on account of some sarcastic remarks we would make about the speed of the Artemis. Joe became furious one da}' when, after he had informed us that the Artemis had passed a boat during the night, we all told him that the boat must have been going the other way. Joe was really one of the bright lights of our trip back. Time and again he would throw the 'whole ship into roars of laughter. Joe was a boatswains-mate in addition to being champion light- weight and the way he would exercise his authority over those wooden leg sailors from "Pelham Bay," as he called them, would set the soldiers laughing till the tears rolled down their cheeks. Joe never gave a command unless he had a full house for audience and then Admiral Dewey at Manila was, indeed, a small figure compared with Joe. Way up on the top deck with a sea of delighted .soldier faces down below staring up at him, Joe wottld bawl out his commands. Now it would be "Man this ash whip." Or again, "Break out, yuh gobs, man the watch and look-out." And they never failed to "break out" either for tho' Joe was the smallest of them all, that reputation of his made him the biggest man aboard and Joe knew it. One or two entertainments by a "cracker-jack" soldier troupe and a few regimental "sings" helped pass the time. At last, on the evening of the 23d we knew from the light on the shore that we were nearing land, and the word went over the ship like wild fire that we were in Hampton Roads. Some were crazed with joy ; some seemed hardly able to realize that it was all over ; the submarines, the raids in Alsace, the horrors of the Meuse-Argonne — and that here they were back again safe and sound. Many a time they had longed for this day. Now that it had come they could scarcely realize it. Very few slept that night. At the break of dawn on the 24th, Loyal Maryland had its delegation there on a tug to welcome us with tears and shouts of joy. Wives, sweet- hearts, mothers and sisters lined the rail. Tears flowed freely. A day like this can happen only once in a life time. These men were practically dead and LANDING AT NEWPORT NEWS HOMEWARD BOUND— Cont. now they had returned to life and love again. As the boat gradually pushed in to the pier and faces could be made out the joy on boat and .pier became indescribable. I dare say that we broke all records in disembarking that day. There certainly were very definite reasons why we should hurry to get out on the pier, and some of them were very appealing reasons, too. Old men danced and threw their hats in the air as they used to do on the last day of school. The women, God bless them, kissed everybody on board and then like the practical Maryland housewives they are, informed us that the "Mary- land Kitchen" would soon have dinner ready for us at Camp Stewart just outside the town of Newport News. The news gave added strength to all and though the sun was scorching we hardly needed the 10 minutes "fall out." We have often heard of "marches of triumph." Now we know what they mean. Patriotic Newport News turned out solidly to meet us. All along the line of march they thronged the streets and waved their welcome to us. My, but it was good to be in the old V. S. A. again. One husky doughboy in sheer gladness at finding himself once more in God's country picked up the first American "kiddie" he came to and nearly hugged and kissed him to death. At Camp Stewart, we soon found that the "Maryland Kitchen" had made no idle promises. It was great stuff — real ice cream, fried hcicken, rolls and all that, but pshaw ! the best part of it all was the "mess sergeants and the K. P." Some of those were not only drinking with their eyes, they were eating and breathing with them, too. Long live the "Maryland Kitchen." After these first ecstatic gaspings, when our feet gradually became used to solid ground a definite "order of the day" was issued, granting as much leave as possible to those who had visitors, informing us of the different quar- antine regulations, etc. We were going to be good boys right up to the end for fear we would be kept in after school. That was the one thing we dreaded. Every day seemed an age that separated us from our great longing to go home and kiss everybody in sight and then sleep and eat for a week. New cotton uniforms were issued and we were steamed and scoured till we smelt like a laundry and then since we had to wait a few days because of the scarcity of cars we were steamed and scoured over again. Finally, those cars did arrive. It was a gay old day when we piled into the trains which were to take us back once more to Baltimore. At first we were satisfied to SCENES AT CAMP MEADE HOMEWARD BOUND— Cont. mere!}- set foot on the soil of America, but now we were becoming more particular. We wanted Maryland and home. Our trains brought us right into the center of Camp Meade. There we found the folks from home waiting in throngs to greet us, or at least most of us. Provision was immediately made by Colonel Reckord for those whose folks had not come down by granting permission for 24 hours' leave on a basis of SO per cent, of our strength. Needless to say a full 50 per cent, took advantage of this permission and the trolleys and taxis into Baltimore were loaded to the gunwales. Our official triumph was to take place on Memorial Day and it was to take the form of a parade through the dear old streets of Baltimore. The old town lived up to her reputation on that day. The whole route of that march was lined from curb to wall with cheering, shrieking, patriotic Baltimoreans who tried with might and main to make us understand how proud they were of us. They filled every window and crowded the roof of every building. We won"t say that we would be willing to go through Alsace and the Meuse- Argonne again in order to receive such an enthusiastic reception, but it cer- tainly would be a strong temptation. That was some parade. Colonel Reckord and his staff on horseback led the way. Then came the 115th band, the best in the A. E. ,F. They had been talking for months of how they would play when they marched up Baltimore Street and they measured up to their boastings. The Baltimore "Sun" had offered a prize of $50 to the band in the parade that played the best when it passed the Sun building. Needless to say, "Chief" and his blowing buddies won the money. We marched in East Lexington Street to City Hall, down Holliday to Baltimore Street, to Howard, to Monument and down around the Washington Monument at Mt. Vernon Place, where the official reviewing stand was located. The Governor, the Mayor and the official representatives of the State and city reviewed us. The statue of George Washington on its high pedestal just back of them seemed to be animated with the spirit of the great Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Forces. The father of our country was the chief reviewing officer that day. To one who looked above the heads of the Governor and his group, George Washington, the personifi- cation of America's best in military life and Statesmanship, seemed to smile and bow as we passed by. This representative of the terrible war that gave our nation birth was proud of how the American soldier had fought and what he had achieved in the Great World War. After we had passed, he straight- HOMEWARD BOUND— Cont. ened up with a little more dignity and a little more pride, pleased that America had played so noble a part in the maelstrom of nations. We marched around to the Fifth Regiment Armory where the Ladies' Auxiliary had prepared a typical Maryland dinner for us all. Tables groaning with good things to eat covered the whole floor and there was a place for everyone. They brought on the fried chicken, potatoes, peas, salad, ice cream and all the "fixins" until our ravenous appetites were completely satis- fied. Then Governor Harrington, on behalf of the State, and Mayor Broening, on behalf of the city, told us of how proud they were of what we had done. After our vanity had been as completely satisfied as our appetites, we went home to rest and visit for a few hours and then came back to the armory for a formal reception and dance at night. We greeted and were greeted, danced with the pretty Baltimore girls — we had forgotten all about the mesdemoi- selles of Champlitte, Breachaumont, Belfort, Beurey, Senaide and even gay Paree by that time — for of all the girls we had ever seen in Alabama, Paris or Nice, our own Baltimore wife or sweetheart was easily the winner. We ate some more ice cream and cake, danced another dance, and went home with our sweetheart to coo through the wee hours of the morning until the early trains began to run back to camp. It was a great day, never to be for- gotten. It was a triumphal celebration worthy to rank with those of the ancient conquerors. Pharaoh, Cyrus, Alexander-the-Great, Caesar, Pompey, Napoleon had nothing on us. The hot sands, dust and blistering sun of Camp Meade made our desire to be mustered out immediately all the stronger. The machinery that starts the process was put into operation at once. All equipment, except a complete cutfit of wearing apparel, our gas masks and helmets, had to be turned in, checked up and accounted for. Every one had to undergo a rigid physical examination to make sure the service had done him no harm. This was done for the benefit of the man as well as for the protection of the Government. The final pay of each man was accurateh- computed to the ver)- day of his discharge, and the $60 bonus was added. All discharge papers were carefully prepared, signed by the commanding officer and the man was ready to re- ceive his last pay from Uncle Sam and be set free. It took a company about a week to go through the mill. Finally, on the 7th of June, Headquarters Company was ready. It was lined up. Each man had his discharge papers, barrack bag or suit case, and a broad smile. They marched down to the camp paymaster, got their pay, railroad fare home and were soldiers in the United 195 HOMEWARD BOUND— Com. States Army no longer. Two or three companies were mustered out daily and then all the officers, so that by the first of July, 1919, the 115th Infantry, U. S. A., was no more. It was no more as an active military organization, but it was and will be forever a body of brave-hearted, brotherly men bound together by the bonds of esteem and affection that can be forged only by association through hardships and dangers endured for a noble cause. Wherever these men meet there will be displayed that rich friendship known only to that fraternity of soldiers who have been comrades together on a battlefield. As long as a few tottering, gray-headed veterans remain alive, the 115th Infantry will be a living brotherhood. When all are gone, its memory will be cherished as one of the most glorious chapters of Maryland's histor}' and it will live forever in the annals of man's freedom and human progress. 196 AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES OFFICES OF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF T> r ■ r^ , ^, , r^ 1 r France, April 2, 1919. Major General Charles G. Morton, Commanding 29th Division, American E. F. My Dear General Morton : It gives me great pleasure to extend to you and the officers and men of the 29th Division my compliments upon the showing made at the review and inspec- tion on March 24th, and at the same time to commend all ranks for the services they have rendered while in France. Though brief, your fighting record is one of which all may be proud. Arriv- ing in France late in June, 19'18, the division's period of training behind the line was cut short and one month later it was put into the Alsace sector, thereby relieving veteran divisions for the battle. At the beginning of the great Meuse- Argonne offensive, it was moved into the line east of the river Meuse. While the division remained in the Corps Reserve, the 58th Infantry Brigade, operating under orders of the Commander of the French 18th Division, made a surprise attack on October 8th, capturing Malbrouck Hill. From October 10th until October 23rd, the division took part in a series of advances to the depth of seven kilometers, taking Grand Montagne and the Ridge Detrys. These positions were consolidated for a further advance when, on October 30th, the division was relieved by the 79th. It was gratifying to see your troops in such good physical shape, but still more so to know that the moral tone of all ranks is so high. I am sure that this fine condition will continue to the end of their service and beyond, as an exempli- fication of their high character and soldierly qualities. Please extend to them my congratulations and my hearty thanks for their splendid work. Sincerely yours, (Signed) John J. Persi-iinG. FIRST IND. Headquarters 29th Division American E.

The following letter has been received from General Claudel, command- ing the 17th French Amiy Corps, to which this Division was attached during the i-ecent offensive : General Claudel, commanding the 17th Army Corps. To : — General Charles G. Morton, commanding the 29th I. D. U. S. My Dear General : z\t the time when the 29th I. D. U. S. leaves the sector of the 17th A. C, I wish to let you know how much I was honored to have it temporarily under my command and I wish to express to you all the satis- faction that it gave me. On October 8th, one of its brigades stormed, with splendid dash the difficult height of MALBROUCK and the powerful defenses of the BOIS de CONSENVOYE, On the 10th, the other brigade advanced beyond the heights of ORMONT to capture the BIS de la REINE. Since then, the whole division was employed, with splendid perse- verance and unfailing energy, to carry off the fortified CLAIRIERE de MOLEEVILLE, and the GRANDE MONTAGNE and BOI d'ETRAYES areas. The combat and weather conditions were hard most of the time. The 29th I. D. U. S. dauntlessly overcame them, took a total of about 2,000 prisoners, guns, machine guns and important material. Will you kindly express to your splendid troops, to your General Staff, to your Services, all the thanks of the General Commanding the ■ 17th A. C. and of their French comrades for their eft'ective and zealous co-operation. I am sure that under your command the 29th I. D. U. S. will soon win new laurels. P'.ease believe, my dear General, in the expression of my most grate- ful and devoted sentiments. (Signed) H. Cl.vudEl. 2.

HEADQUARTERS FIRST ARMY AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES France, April 9, 1919. ADVANCE COPY: General Orders No. 20. 1. Pursuant to the telegraphic instructions from G. H. O., A. E. F., the 29Lh Division was relieved from duty with this army April 6, 1919. The 29th Division came under the command of the First Army September 15, 1918. The Division served in Army Reserve until October 3d when it was marched to the vicinity of VERDUN and advanced into action, commencing with an attack on the morning of October 8th, participating in the operations of the 17th Corps (French), east of the Meuse River, until October 30th, when its relief from duty in the line was completed and it passed again to the reserve of the Army. During its service in the line the Division or units thereof, took part in the operations against BOIS de CHAUME, BOIS PLAT CHENE. MOLLE- VIELE FARM, ROIS de la PEINE, BOIS d'ORMONT and GRAND MON- TAGNE. These operations accomplished an advance of seven kilometers and resulted in the capture of MOLLEVILLE FAR:\I, GRAND MONTAGNE and the ridge of d'ETRAYES, a feat of arms of which the Division Commander and his fine Division have cause to be very proud. 2. The Army Commander takes this opportunity to express his appreciation of the services of the 29th Division, while a part of this Army and wishes it God- speed in the final phase of its services as a part of the American Expeditionary Forces.
