To faithfully set forth a thoroughly detailed and comprehensive report of the experi- ences of a regiment through nearly two years of the constant changes and strenuous activities incident to campaign would require a descending into particulars which a lack of data renders impracticable. The attempt has been made here to summarize only: may the reader bear this in mind and temper his criticisms in accordance. In the preparation of this volume important assistance has been given by the Company Commanders and their clerks in the compilation of the rosters and home addresses; by Captains Neil M. Cronin and William A. Augur through many courtesies ex- tended in providing access to the regimental records; by Sergeants Major E. S. Howes and Frank Bagley in this same regard; by Lieutenants Warren S. Jamar, John A. Robel and Floyd H. Gilliland in the supplying of many of the photographs; by Lieu- tenant Francis C. Fitzgerald in furnishing considerable data not to be found in the official records; by Lieutenant Frank S. Perkins, in permitting the use of his personal photographs of officers who were not in the group picture; by Captain Minor F. Wasson, who examined the original manuscript; and by Colonel James A. Lynch and Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray who have given the undertaking their good will and continued support. This book is submitted, then, with full cognizance of its many shortcomings but with faith in the indulgence of those for whose benefit it is intended, who, as critics, will find it easy to detect faults, yet, at the same time, can duly appreciate difficulties P.

S. Infantry Regiment, as a unit of the Eighty-eighth National Army Division, began to function at Camp Dodge, Iowa, in the Federal vService. Surveying the early records of the Regiment, it may l)e learned that from September 1st to September 5, 1917, the personnel of the 350th Infantry was made up entirely of Com- missioned Officers, who began arriving at the new camp during the late days of August. The first Commanding C)fficer of the Regiment was Colonel Charles W. Castle, from the Regular Army. The first Lieutenant Colonel was Rush S. Wells, also from the Regular Army, while the original Battalion Com- manders were Major Horace N. Munroe, Regular Army, 2d Battalion and Major Joseph A. Storch, U. S. Reserve, 3d Bat- talion. For several months the 1st Battalion's Commanding Ofifiicer was Lt. Colonel Wells, who acted as such in the absence of a third regularly assigned A-Iajor. The Commissioned personnel below the rank of Major was drawn in the beginning from the graduates of the first Ofiicers' Training Camp, Fort Snelling, Minnesota. In the shifting currents of the war it so devolved that at the time of demobilization not one of the early Field Officers of the organization remained upon its rolls. 24 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY Tlic piont'cr coiilingcnl of the first National Army draft. September 5, 1917. supplied the fifteen companies of the 350th with an average of twenty-three men each. In advance of these there arrived, from numerous regular army outfits, enough sea- soned non-commissioned officers to be proportioned through the Regiment on a basis of about two per company. The value of these regular Army Corporals and Sergeants in building up the strucUire of the organization, and their assistance to the numbers of inexperienced Commissioned Officers during the recruit period of the Regiment, and afterward, can hardly be over-estimated. With their help the training of the first few conscripts was at once carried on, and by the time the next large contingent was mustered in these men had become, in many instances, non-com- missioned officers themselves, and were of great aid in caring for the new quota. In common with its fellow units of the 88th Division the missiiin of the 350th in the war appeared for many months to be that of a training corps for draft increments. Of the 50,000 or so recruits which were mustered into the Division, trained at Dodge, and passed on to other outfits about to go overseas the Regiment handled its share. During the midst of this ac- tivity Colonel Castle was relieved from Command of the Regi- ment, and was succeeded by Colonel Harrison J. Price, who was also a Regular Army Officer. 'i he process of receiving, training and sending men away continued through the early fall, but the influx exceeded the exodus until November 19th. On this date 1,225 enlisted men from the 350th were transferred to Camp Pike, Arkansas. There remained then to the Regiment, after this loss, an enlisted average once more of only twenty-five men per company, most of whom were non-commissioned officers retained to form a nucleus for the structure to be built again. With the advent of cold weather draft movements to the northern cantonments were suspended, and thus it evolved that through the months of November, December, January and February the larva, so to speak, of the Ultimate 350th Infantry restlessly slumbered in its cocoon. This winter-bound period was devoted to indoor instruction for both officers and men. Each day classes followed each other '«.^Ji v mm »5. '_< '. w% ' ...a^^"':^ hi 1::^ k, '" ' jli-st-il ' Jl ^HF THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 25 rapidly and regularly. In the absence of sufficient privates the newly made non-commis- sioned officers were needed to walk post, an experience they had tested but lightly when they themselves were privates. As a result of this intensive program of training, when the next movement of recruits began each company found it- Regimental Headquarters, Camp Dodge self equipped with a non-com- missioned personnel confident of itself and extremely capable. The new draft contingent began arriving at Dodge February 28th. By March 3d the Regiment's enlisted strength averaged 160 men per company. Of these many were later transferred, but thirty per cent remained permanently with the organization. Briefly to say that from this time on the hard work never ceased must describe the course of events up to the time of pre- paring to sail. The severe schedule of training which the re- cruits were called upon to go through in order to reach over- sea standards, and their remarkable spirit and stamina in ac- complishing, within a very limited time, all that was asked of them was without precedent before this war. At length, early in May, the second draft filled the companies to their war strength of two hundred and fifty men. Definite assurance that the 88th Division was due to go across was not had generally through the Regiment until July. On the 25th of that month an advance party from the 350th sailed for France with parties from other units of the Division to attend Army schools abroad and prepare the way for the com- ing of the main body. August 4, 1918, the Regiment proper set forth upon the first stage of its journey, proceeding by train to Camp Upton, New York. Several train sections were required to transport the troops, and their departure was eff'ected in the following manner : Regimental Headquarters and the Band were the first to entrain, leaving at 11 A. M. The balance of the Regiment, with the exception of the Machine Gun Company and the Sup- 26 THREE HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY ply Company. entraiiK'd by sections of two companies each. Companies A and H went aboard at 12:00 noon. Companies C and D entrained at 2:00 P. ^T. Companies G and H. on August 5th. left at 11:00 A. M.; comjjanies I and K at 12:00 noon; Machine Gun Company at 10:00 A. ^I. ; companies L and and M at 1 :00 P.M.. and the Snp])ly Company at 2:00 P.M. The several train sections took divergent routes. I'^egi- mental Headquarters. Headquarters Company and the Band went by way of Waterloo. l)ul)U(|ue, Chicago, Detroit, St. 'I'homas and Buffalo to Weehawken. From Weehawken they ferried to Long Island City, and from there went on by train to Upton. They paraded enroute in Utica, N. Y.. and at Ra- vena, N. Y.. enjoyed a swim in the Htidson River; here addi- tional entertainment was provided by the people of Ravena in the form of an automobile ride to Albany and back. Companies A and B went by way of Chicago. Toledo. O., Cleveland, Bufil'alo and West Point to Weehawken. There they went aboard a ferry at noon of the 6th. waited until evening for other troops \vhich were to cross with them, j^ulled over to Long Island city and from there proceeded by train to Upton, arriving at 9:00 P. M. Companies E and F passed through Marshalltown. Iowa, Chicago, Marion. Ind., Salamanca. N. Y., and Binghaniton,. N. Y. to Jersey City ; from there by ferry to Long Island City, and on to Upton by train. They jjaraded at Marion and Sala- manca, and bathed at Salamanca in the Allegheny River. Companies G and II were routed through Marshalltown. Dubuque. Chicago, Detroit, Syracuse, Rochester, Utica , Ravena and New York City to Jersey City ; by ferry to Long Island City and by train to Upton. They paraded at Syracuse, Detroit and Ravena, and they bathed at Ravena in the Hudson River. There also the ladies of the Red Cross from Albany and Ra- vena entertained the troops with an outdoor luncheon. Companies I and K went by way of Chicago. Cleveland. Bufifalo and All)any to Hoboken. They detrained near Cleve- land and bathed in Lake Erie, proceeding from there by train and ferry to Upton. THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 27 Companies L and M went through Ames, Chnton, Chicago, Ft. Wayne, Cleveland, Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton and Scran- ton to Hoboken ; by ferry and train to Upton. They were served with refreshments at Cleveland and Binghamton by the Red Cross, bathed in Lake Erie, near Cleveland, and paraded at Elmira. The ]\Iachine Gun Company travelled with the Division Headquarters section, going by way of Savanna, Chicago, South Bend, Port Huron, A/Iich., Niagara Falls and Wilkes-Barre to Hoboken, ferrying to Long Island City and taking train to Up- ton. They got out for a swim in the Susquehanna River and paraded at Wilkes-Barre. The Supplv Company passed through Chicago, Huntington, Ind., Canton, C)., and Salamanca enroute to Upton. They bathed at a Chicago Park, and exercised at Canton and Salamanca, where they were fed by the Red Cross. The journey of Companies C and D to Upton may be des- cribed in detail as being typical of the experiences of all the sec- tions in the trip across the States. Their section passed through the cities of Ames, Marshalltown, Clinton, Chicago, Ft. Wayne, Ind., Cleveland, Buffalo, and Scranton, Pa., to Hoboken. The train was stopped to let the men bathe near Cleveland, on the evening of the 5th, at a point where the high railroad embankment skirts the shore of Lake Erie. The night was very warm and dark save for a clouded moon. All on board undressed in the coaches and slid down the cinders and rocks to the water in their bare skins. Everybody lost his soap in the lake, and then in shin- ning up the bank again each naked bather picked up enough dirt and bruises to make him wish he never had seen Lake Erie. At Buffalo, N. Y., two automobile loads of Red Cross girls met the train in the yards and distrib- uted cigarettes and confec- tions through every car. The evening of the 6th the train stopped for ice at Scranton, Pa., and here a large crowd met the soldiers at the station f I iiiiii Jiaip'^ * ' where enthusiasm proceeded 20th St. and Des Moines Ave., Camp Dodge tO rUU the highest of any 28 THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY (Icnionstration received aloiiti;^ the trip across the States.

Company D was later sent far- ther along to the deserted vil- lage of Mandres. The 2d Bat- talion, less Company E, proceeded to^ the town of Sanzey and Andilly, — Company E, with the Machine Gun Company going to Bauvron. The 3d Battalion having been joined by Company I, left Belfort the morning of the 8th at 4 :00 o'clock, and arriv- ing at Royaumeix early on the 9th, proceeded to the Bois de Lagney. It v^^as now generally believed throughout the Regiment that the 350th had been brought to this front to take part in an at- tack to cut off Metz which was expected to be launched within a few days as a part of the Meuse-Argonne offensive. This be- lief was corroborated on the evening of November 9th. A Field Order from Brigade Headquarters reached Regimental Head- quarters at 17:55 o'clock on that date advising that the 175th Bri- gade, comprising the 350th and 349th Infantry Regiments, had been detached from the 88th Division and attached to the 4th Corps. The 350th was ordered to hold itself in readiness to march on a moment's notice to Thiaucourt, there to join other troops of the 4th Corps which were to form the reserve in an encircling movement around Metz. In accordance with this complete preparations were made at once to enter the attack. At zero hour, twelve o'clock midnight of the 10th, the Allied ar- tillery opened up a terrific pre- paratory bombardment on the German lines which con- tinued without abatement through the night and next morning until exactly eleven o'clock, when it stopped as suddenly as it had begun.

At 1 1 :30 a message came by runner to Regi- mental Headquarters announcing that the enemy had signed an Armistice. Thus passed the 350th Infantry's oppor- tunity to enter a great attack, — and Mar- shal Foch was not the only man who wept on that memorable morning of November eleventh, Nineten hundred eighteen. Boche Prisoners with French Guard Aft^r tl^t Armt0t!c^ HE cessation of hostilities following the Armistice did not affect the training schedule of the Ameri- can troops to any great extent. The 350th re- mained in the Bernecourt area until late in Novem- ber, and from the 12th to the 18th the companies turned out for drill regularly each day. But as the German armies poured back across the Rhine in fulfillment of the re- quirement that they evacviate all invaded French territory the Americans who were not employed in following them up were used in salvaging the vast amount of war material which lay strewn over the war-torn areas. The 350th was occupied thus from November 18th to 28th. There was also much opportunity for assisting the thousands of released French prisoners who began streaming back along the roads from Metz the very day the Armistice was signed. These men were in pitiable shape, terribly emaciated, and clothed for the most part in cast-oft" Boche uniforms. Hundreds of them were given food and drink at the company kitchens of the Regiment as they fell out along the wayside from the procession that shuffled endlessly by. November 2yth the Eighty-eighth Division began a move to the (iondrecourt area, in the Departement of the Meuse, which entailed a two day hike -of sixty-five kilometers. The 350th rendezvoused at the Sanzey-Boucq crossroads (three kilometers southwest of Sanzey) at 9:50 A.M., of the 29th, and marching under full packs reached the city of Commercy at dusk, where the entire unit was billeted for the night. The next morning the march was continued, and late in the afternoon the Regiment entered its new area. Here the column broke up, and the vari- 52 THREE HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY The Available Transportation ous elenieiUs proceeded to .se]> arate to villages as follows : 1st J'attalion to St. Joire, ar- rived 19:00 o'clock; 2d Bat- talii)]! to Morlaincourt, ar- rived 15:30 o'clock; Com- ])anies L and M to Givrauval, arri\ed 15:00 o'clock; Com- ])anies I and K to Longeaux, arrived 16 :00 o'clock ; and Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Company, Machine Gun Company, Supply Company, Medical Detachment and detach- ment from 313th Field Signal Battalion to Menaucourt. — arrived 16:00 o'clock. This distribution remained the same until Decem- ber 4th. That date the 1st Battalion, less Company B. moved to Naix-aux-Forges ; Company B went to Longeaux, and Company I went from Longeaux to Givrauval. Colonel Charles A. Stone, on December 20th, was relieved of command of the 350th and assigned to duty at Bordeaux, Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray assuming command on that date. In the Gondrecourt area the Regiment remained longer than in any other in France. As winter came in it brought with it the usual problems of providing heat and sanitation for the com- fort of the troops. Wood was very scarce, the water sources here were found to be contaminated, there were no bathing facilities and no places other than the wine shops where the men could congregate. The billets, too, left much to be desired, for most of them were open barn lofts out of repair. Some of these dis- advantages were wholly overcome, the others were to some extent mitigated. The drink- ing water was of neces- sity chlorinated ; the 1 e a k y b i 1 1 e t s were boarded up as far as possi])le and stoves were installed in such num- bers as they could be p ,• . . d . «; iv^ ■' Kejiimental Fostoffice.

Menaucourt procured, although there never was a large enough wood ration to go all the way around. A set of knock-down Adrian barracks was secured and these buildings w ere erected where they were most needed, to serve as mess halls, infirmaries, entertainment halls, barracks and Y.M.C.A. huts. Finally, in several of the \illages, bathhouses were installed with sufficient capacity to al- low each man in the Regiment at least one shower per week. Toward the middle of January a large drove of horses, most of them sufi:'ering from the efi'ects of gas and the mange, were turned over to the Supply Company from Division to be nursed back to health. At the time they arrived there was barely enough shelter available in the area for the seventy odd head of horses and mules which the Regiment already had on hand. So work was begun at once on a series of stables which eventually cov- ered the sides of a long slope to the north of Menaucourt, and within a few weeks these had l)een equipped with a blacksmith shop, corrals, a saddle house and numerous other conveniences for the care of animals and transportation. Throughout the months of December, January, February and March most of the training centered on open warfare tac- tics, which was carried out through the medium of Corps, Di- vision, Brigade and Regimental maneuv- ers, and Battalion and Company problems. During February, March and April each company was' in addition put through an intensive course of training in Musketry on the range at Menaucourt. Officers and enlisted men were sent in unending suc- cession to the School of Arms and Gas at St. Joire, and practically every junior of- ficer in the Regiment spent a month at the A. E. F. School of Fire at Clamency. Bon camerades ^^"^P^^^ ^ ^^ '^^'out 50 mcu and Officers left to 56 THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY French Washwomen attend Academic Universities in France and Pjigland. In February a rifle competition was held l)et\veen teams from each Comi)an)- and IntelH- ijence platoon of tlie Regi- ment which was won by a team from the Intelligence ])latoon of the 1st Battalion. Men from these teams were then selected to form Battalion teams. The 3d Battalion won this match. From the Battalion teams a Regimental team was chosen which was defeated in a match with the 349th Infantry, but a number of men from the 350th were picked for places on the Brigade team, which competed with the 176th Brigade sharj)- shooters for places on the 88th Division team. The Regiment passed in review frecjuently during these months, and stood many "George Bell" inspections. On the 7th of March Colonel James A. Lynch, of the Regu- lar Army, was assigned to the 350th and took command, reliev- ing Lt. Colonel Ray. who was temporarily detached from the Regiment and j^laced in command of the 88th Division Schools at St. joire.

An Officer especially detailed for the purpose organized the athletics through the Regiment, and a baseball league was conducted successfully for a month and a half among the com- pany teams. Then as the A. E. F. Athletic Tournament drew near tryouts were held in each Battalion to decide the men who should represent the 350th in the elimination contests for the team to enter at Paris for the SSth Division. Competitions were held at the same time in musketry and close and extended order drill by platoons. The Regimental musketry platoon competi- tion was won by the 1st platoon of Company M. The chief sources of enter- tainment during this period were the soldiers' amateur vaudeville companies which toured the Y. M. C. A. huts, the movies, the Over-there Theatre League and the foot- ball and baseball games. ^^^^^ The Ornain River -^ awi -. During' the next two days, therefore, all drill was suspended, and the time ])Ut in on furbishing accoutre- ments. Ivirl}- in the morning of April 19th the Regiment em- bussed in motor lurries and was transjjorted en masse to a large parade ground several kilonieters south of the town of Gondrecourt. Here the entire Division assembled, and formed uj) in a line of masses. At eleven o'clock General Pershing and Secretary of War Baker came on the field, accompanied by Major General Weigel and General Pershing's staff. Starting at the right fiank of the Division line General Pershing with his party walked rapidly through each rank making his inspection and questioning the ( )fficers. While he was thus occupied, Sec- retary of War Baker circulated among the troops inspecting in- formally and engaging in conversation with the men. At the conclusion of this part of the reviewing ceremony the General took a position in front of the center of the Regimental colors which were grouped near the left flank, and there presented decorations to General Weigel and other members of the com- mand, after which he decorated the colors with streamers bearing the name of the sectors which the Regiments had occupied at the front. He then mounted uj) and rode with General Weigel and party to the review- ing stand, where Secretary Baker awaited them. Gen- eral Pershing dis- mounted and with Secretary Baker en- tered the stand. Gen- eral Weigel joined his Command.

As the troops marched off the field they assembled in a natural amphitheatre a short distance to the west, and here they were addressed by Secretary Baker and General Pershing, both of whom in the course of their remarks called forth tre- mendous cheering with the promise that the 88th Division would soon be sailing for America. That night the troops of the 350th rode back to Naix, and Givrauval, and Menaucotlrt, and Morlaincourt, and Longeaux wath a glow in their hearts which the rain failed wholly to sub- due.

TheStart for Le Mans PIELD RANGE ENTRAINING POINT OEMANGE LOAPINC OETAIU ij^otntmavh ^onnh HE Pershing Review proved to be the last occa- sion on which the 88th Division assembled as a combat unit. It was also the closing review for the 350th Infantry. From April 21st on increas- ing pressure was applied in getting the Regiment completely outfitted and the records collated in preparation for the impending move to the coast. On April 30th a picked team of riflemen from the 350th left for LeMans to enter the lists for the A. E. F. Rifle Championship. Eight days later, on May 7th, the Regiment proper began a move by rail to the Le Mans area, a district near the Atlantic seaboard which was used by the American Army as an equipment and inspection station for troops en route to the embarkation ports. Arriving at La Suze, a rail-head, the morning of the 19th, the various units proceeded on foot to the following villages : Regimental Headcitiarters, the 2d Battalion, the Headquarters Company, Supply Company and Machine Gun Company went to Foulletourte. The 3d Battalion went to Guecelard ; the 1st Battalion Headquarters with Com- panies B and D to Roeze, and Companies A and C to Spay. Here six days were spent checking equipment, turning in surplus property, and getting the troops thoroughly deloused. No at- tempt was made to drill. Such time as was not taken with the necessary formations was given over to relaxation. ( )n the morning of May 15th the Regiment marched back to the town of LaSuze and here entrained for St. Naz?ire, one of the three great American embarkation ports in France. It ar- rived at St. Nazaire early the next day and went from the train to Camp No. 2 where it billeted in barracks. There now followed 64 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY Coming Aboard Aeolus. St. Nazaire two days of minute inspections, both as to men, equipment and records, which surpassed everything of this kind that had gone before. No dif- ficulty was experi- enced, however, in se- curing clearance papers, and by the afternoon of the 18th the entire organization had been relieved of accountability and was ready to go aboard ship. After a wait of one day. which was decided upon in order to secure a vessel large enough to carry the Command intact, the Regiment marched by Battalions to the docks on the morn- ing of May 19th, and there boarded the U. S. S. Aeolus, a former German liner which had been interned by the American Govern- ment during the war and converted into a troop ship. That eve- ning she weighed anchor at nine o'clock. A throng of less fortu- nate soldiers had gathered at the wharf to watch the sailing, and it was amidst the echo of their cheers and the tune of "Homeward Bound" froni the Regimental Band that the 350th drew away from the scenes among which it had sojourned for the better part of a year. The voyage on the Aeolus was made in ten days and nights. Several periods of rough weather robbed the trip of the enjoy- able features to which many had f looked forward ; but for those among the passengers who w'ere not disturbed by the pitch and roll of the boat there were means j^rovided for passing the tim^ pleasantly.

THREE-HUNDRED FIFTIETH INFANTRY 65 Entraining Point, Demange ing picture show wai put on every evening. — with a minstrel show on one occasion, and an afternoon was devoted to a series of boxing exhibi- tions. At the same time there was much fatigue duty required in keep- ing the bunk decks pohced and in preparing the mess. The most noteworthy event of the homeward voyage was a mass meeting of Officers and men which was held in the ship's saloon on May 29th. The outcome of this gathering was the formation of an association designed to perpetuate the organiza- tion of the 350th Regiment after demobilization. A committee had previously been appointed to draw up a constitution which was voted on and accepted at the meeting. Oft'icers of the Society were elected for a one year term. Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray, of Yankton, S. Dak., was unanimously elected President by accla- mation, and it was voted that the organization be named the "Three Hundred and Fiftieth Infantry Association." At five o'clock, on the morning of May 30th, the first sign of land appeared oft' the port beam. Two hours later the Aeolus steamed into harbor at Newport News, Virginia, and at 10:00 A. M., had warped up to the dock and begun disembark- ing the troops. From the docks the Regiment marched through the city of New- port News to Camp Alexander, a regulating sta- tion for over-sea units as they ar- rived from abroad.

( )n June tlie 2d the Regiment was disintegrated, and the members listed according to their home states. The parting began that afternoon when the first group to leave the outfit de- parted for Camp Taylor, Kentucky, to receive their discharges They were followed during the next day by similar ])arties l)<)und for camps Upton, (irant and Lee. June 4th all that remained of the Ivegiment was the contingent which was to be discharged at Dodge. This body left by train at noon of that date. Four days later the last man had been released from service, and the Three Hundred and Fiftieth Infantry had i)assed into history.

Saft'ord I^ctter from ^t» (Eixl Harrison ^i\. l^txtt to t\)t ^ovmtv jHembers of tljc 35l)tl| infantry The undersigned had the good fortune to Command the 350th Infantry, 88th Division, for a period of over a year during its time of training in the States and in France. During this long period several thousand men were received into and transferred from the Regiment to other units with a view of their early despatch to the war zone in France. The work of training these various increments received from the draft was exacting, difficult, arduous in the extreme. The fact that a large draft of men would he received, equipped, drilled and trained with enthusiasm in the hope that our Di- vision would be made ready for foreign service with the least possiljle delay only to find that the enlisted personnel was to go, and did go, to other Divisions, was enough to dull the eft'orts of the keenest soldier. The loss of our men through transfer to other units during the period October. 1917. to May, 1918. was a trying period for all officers and men. and called for the dis- play of the highest soldierly qualities on the part of all. The energy, ability, loyalty and good judgment shown by the officers and non-commissioned officers of this Regiment during this try- ing time and the later training period from June to August and in France during September and October was of the highest order and was productive in developing and perfecting the highest soldierl}^ qualifications in both officers and men. I esteem it an honor to have been associated with the officers and men of this Regiment, and to have been privileged, as its Commander, to have added my "bit" to its training and develop- ment into a first class fighting unit. The officers and men were loyal beyond compare and I shall always cherish the friendships formed and the hearty good fellowship that prevailed therein. This Regiment has now been demobilized and the officers and men have returned to their pre-war duties. My best wishes for their future success and happiness go with them individually. 80 THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY To the memory of our ci-mraiks who gave their H\es in tlie ".great war" we l)ow our lieads in re\erence and hare our hearts in sorrow.

(Late Colonel 350th Infantry) i;i)e ^Ifrcc Hitnircft JFtfttetIf Snfatttr^ Toward the close of the 350th Infantry's stay in France there arose throughout the Regiment a common wish on the part of its members that a permanent organization might be formed before demobihzation to perpetuate in as large a measure as possible the social body of the unit after its life in the military had been brought to an end. Owing to the pressure of other matters it was found to be impracticable to assemble the. Regi- ment as a whole in the Gondrecourt area, where it was then bil- leted, and an opportunity for a general meeting did not present itself until May. During the voyage home, aboard the U. S. S. Aeolus, the first steps were taken toward organization. The initial move was made at the instigation of Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray, who appointed a committee composed of Captain Walter L. Akers, Captain Minor F. Wasson, Captain Frank L. Sieh, and 1st Lieutenant Walter H. Schlosser to draw up a tentative con- stitution for the prospective association. The result of this com- mittee's deliberations was presented for vote May 27th, to a mass meeting of as many officers and enlisted men as could be got into the ship's saloon. The constitution, with several minor changes, was adopted at -this meeting as drawn up by the com- mittee, and officers were elected to hold office for one year, dating from the first annual convention, which was voted to be held in conjunction with the American Legion convention at Minneapolis, Minnesota, in November, 1919. The name chosen for the or- ganization was "The 350th Infantry Association" and its pur- poses are set forth in the Constitution. (Officers President Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray, Yankton, S.

An Officer of the Day, Officer of the Guard, and permanent officers of the submarine lookouts were on duty continually. A ship's Police Officer was appointed. Colonel Price, Commanding Officer, established his P. C. in the starboard corner of the smoking room. Reveille and breakfast were followed by a half hour of brisk physical exercises on deck and police of quarters. Either Fire Call or Abandon Ship call sounded at 10:00 A. M., and at this signal all troops fell in at their proper stations and stood by while the Commanding Oft'icer made his in.'pections. A serious problem during the voyage was that of entertainment. It w^as solved in A'arious ways. The band played two concerts a day. — in the morning on the poop deck, following fire call, and at 5 :30 P. M. on the boat deck. Boxing V»outs were frequent, and in the evening the first four men to meet after mess started a quartette. The officers played quoits, and spent several days off-duty time in securing the conviction of Lt. Brackett and Lt. Doc. Evansi on accumixlated, gi'ave charges in a mock trial by court-martial. One Delta institution which must live in the memories of all the officers on board was the mystic D. A. H. club, an organization of brothers banded together against the lemon-squash, and in whose ranks the only source of discord centered on the yet luianswered question of whom among the members most deserved the honored chair of Chief Exhausted Kooster. August K'.th. at 1 :(»() 1*. M. an ice-berg was sighted oft" the port l)eam ; and as the convoy passed it the temperature became noticeably cooler. At 4:30 P. M. a number of tran>ports carrying Canadians from Halifax joined the convoy, luiving with them two additional cruisers. The same day, at 5 :00 P. M. a large whale was observed tossing in the waves off the port beam and for some minutes was thought to be a submarine. The morning of the 17th a lone cruiser was passed on its way to the States. August 20th, at dusk, a convoy of sixteen empty transports appeared over the horizon far to port, returning from Eng- land to America. THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY 87 The convoy entered the Enropeau danger zone in the night of August 21st. Now all water-tight compartments were closed, and officers and guards remained constantly on duty on every deck. But all went well during the night and next day, and at 11 :30 P. M. August 22d the tension was relieved hy the appearance of a fleet of eight British and American torpedo boat destroyers, sent out to the convoy as an additional escort into port. These lithe sea-hunters, darting, turning, circling everywhere about with their depth-bombs lining the rails to be tripped over-board at a finger's touch contributed to a state of mental ease among the voyagers which must have been experienced to be sj'mpathetically comprehended. A striking incident of the voyage was the spectacular sunset on the evening of the 12th day out. The crimson sun, sinking into the western horizon, suffused the crawling convoy with a ruddy glow. The cam- ouflaged vessels, riding low upon the glistening surface of the waves, seemed motionless in the vast expanse of shining sea and sky, a reminder of the poet's "painted ships upon a painted ocean." And at the same hour, in the east, there appeared the added phenomenon of a double rainbow bending its coupled span across the distant archway of the heavens. For those aboard who valued omens there may have been a message in the .> cenic glories of this evening. At (» A. M. of the 2;i^d two (lirigil)les iind two aeroplanes came out to the convoy from the British hangars at Dover. Depth bombs hung from their wings and bottoms. They swept about and over the convoy throughout the day and the next day. A destroyer towing an observa- tion balloon took up position in the rear. At dusk, the evening of the 23dj Land's End, England, was sighted ; and as day broke the next morning the convoy steamed into the English Channel. The empty seas of the p.ist two weeks were peopled now with countless sub-chasers, trawlers, "mosquitoe boats," sail-boats, and even tiny fishing smacks. Oft" the port bow towered the famous Chalk Cliffs of Dover, and perched jilong their verd; nt summits stood the giant hangars which housed the aircraft of the Cluuniel Patrol. Far to starbo:ird was plainly visible the gray receding outline of the coast of France. Not until the Goodwin Sands were reached was the vigilant look- out for submarines relaxed. But as the rearmost transport passed out of danger up into the Thames the protecting fleet of cruisers, destroy- ers, dirigibles, and aeroplanes signalled "good luck." circled about and tiu-ned back toward Dover. A British pilot came alongside the Delta in a tug. climbed aboard, and took, the wheel for the trip up the Thrmes. The vessel put on full steam, drew away from her sister ships, and was the first of the convoy to drop anchor for the night below the Tilbury docks. The next morning, August 25th, at nine o'clock, she warped into the pier and within the hour disembarked her proteges of two weeks sailing.

N. Y.. for tlie Port of Embarlcation, on tlie Broolvlyn Pier. They proceeded by train to Long Island City, took a ferry from there to the Pier, and at 2 :00 P. M. all except Company H started to board H. M. S. Kashmir. — England bound. Com- pany H went aboard the '"Messanabie." The Kashmir was an S500-ton passenger vessel belonging to the famous P. & O. line which formerly plied between Liverpool and Bom- bay ; but like all other British craft, it was now engaged in the war. The officers of the f hip were all typical British sailors of the highest type belonging to their merchant marine. All were efficient, and their many acts of courtesy to our officers and men made the whole trip mighty enjoyable, under the circumstances. The advance party of officers which had precele balloon, ami M'vcial bydroijlanes. This was very adequate protecti* n for a convoy this side of the Atlantic. In addition every transport li;'d its armament of one or more guns that were manned by trained naval crews. From the Kith until the 2(ith of August the convoy experienced the most ideal weather conditions. The sea was unusually smooth, the sky cloudless, and every night during this period was graced with a bril- liant moon. This latter fict did not lead to s-afety from a submarine attack, but it did add to the enjoyment of the trip. No lights were permitted on any cf the boats after night-fall; no smoking was permit- ted on any of tho decks or exposed places after sun-down. All port- holes were securely fastened and closed at night; every officer and man always carried or wore his life jacket during these rather nervous days. Abandon Ship and Fire Drills were held every day at irregular hoursi. Each person was assigned to a particular place where he was to be found in case the ship had been torpedoed. As the convoy ap- proached the coast of Newfoundland the usual Newfoundland fog descended over the whole scene, and the remainder of the journey was a rather damp and blind trip. August 2Gth a portion of our armed escort left us during the night. Imt early the next morning six English de- stroyers joined us and circled about the transports like keen grey- hounds seeking their prey. August L'Ttli more destroyers and subma- rine chasers joined us. as we were now approaching the most danger- ous submarine territory off the coast of Ireland. The convoy now numbered thirty vessels of vari(ms kinds, in addition to the eighteen regular troop transports. The ccnvoy would change its entire course from time to time so that our path refeml>led a great zig-zag streak. It was a great game, this outwitting of the Hun submarine. We passed Black Rock Point off the coast of Scotland at 1:00 P. M. — the first land sighted since leaving the States. It looked good to us. During the last three days of the trip ev(M-y officer and man was required to wear his clothes and life jacket at all times. It was a long and tediou.'i grind. One of the destroyers sunk a mine the morning of the 27th, but no submarines were noticed. They undoubtedly were about, but it would have been suicide tor one of tlieni to have made an attack. THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 91 Early Wednesday morning, at 3:00 o'clock, the Kashmir ci'awled into the great network of harbors and docks in Liverpool. The entire command never felt so safe in their lives as they did at that moment. 1st Lt. Clair E. Wilson, asi Officer of the Day, talked to a debarkation Officer on one of the docks, and he came back with the information that we were billed to debark at 7 :00 that morning. Major Storcli ordered all officers on duty. This necessitated waking the whole com- mand, as everyone had gone to sleep for a few short hours after the sleepless nights. This information proved to be false, as the troops did not debark until 3 :30 in the afternoon. In the meantime permi^ sion was obtained for a limited number to go ashore and these few imme- diately went to a cable office from whence telegrams were soon flashing across the Atlantic announcing the safe arrival of their respective selves.

Pershing Review. ?:SJ^^^^^ Htstoru of ^Wctcltinc C^un fflompauy ON September 5, 1017, the Machine Gun Company of the 330th In- fantry was formed under the commanding officer, Capt. W. L. Akers!. with Ist Lt. I. J. Houghton. 2nd Lts. E. P. Stacy, M. A. Heath and Arnold Forbes. The company was first composed of tliese offi- cers, a 1st Sergeant, Mess Sergeant, three duty Sergeants and thirteen re- cruits : six remained in the organization at tlie finish: Sergeants Ken- nedy, Ronan, Kanak, Coonrod, Cook, Stanton, and Corporal Pohler. On the night of September 21. 1917, about 120 recruits were added to the original organization. These men experienced the leaning rest and squads east and west vuitil November 22nd, when seventy-four were transferred to the S7th Division at Camp Pike. Other men had been transferred previously and more left during the following week. Lts. Joseph H. Hanley and Richard A. Russell were assigned to the company during December. 1917. February 1. 1018, Capt. Akers and Lts. Houghton and Forbes wer4- transferred to the Headquarters Company, 350th Infantry, and Captain C. V. Schmitt took command of the company. Between February 25th and March 1st the company was again filled by the new draft, but by April 6th these men had also lieen taken to different camps. About April 1st the Divi.-ional Machine Gnu School was foi'med in- which six men of the company served as instructors and five others attended as students. Later the Model Machine Gun Company was formed and these men participated. On May 29th the company was again filled. The men coming intO' tlie company at that date were from Missouri and Nebraska. They were to form the overseas company. No sooner had they acquired cer- tain ideas of the school of the squad than they were mystified by learning the signal work and Machine Gun Drill. Then, as evening recreation, they examined and donned gas masks by the numbers. The music of the Regimental reviews improved the enlisted men's cadence but the experience of an hour's parade-rest almost annihilated the con- tributed improvement. In the latter part of July Camp Funston and the 163rd Depot Brigade contributed men which completed the mem- bership of the company. After the usual number of preparatory in- spections of issued equipment and other things, the company were con- sidered ready for the departure. On Monday morning, August 5th, the barracks and grounds at ISth and Des Moines Streets were given the final policing and the company marched to the train which was to carry the SSth Division Headquarters and the 350th Infantry Machine Gun Company to the Athmtic Coast. That evening, the Mississippi River w^as crossed at Savannah. Illinois, and at midnight the odors of Chicago interfered with an ideal night's rest in the Pullman berths. The next morning South Rend appeared, making known that Indiana 104 THREEHUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY tcnihtiy w.-is liciii;,' vicwctl. Tlicii ;, cross Michiji:.ii to rerienc-ed. The company seems inclined to re- member the chow, or the lack of that necessity. While there we h:!d a short re^t for the wicked. Friday morning. August 31st, packs were rolled and shouldered and a liik(> to Southampton became history. That evcMiing. the ferry '"Arch Angel" carried a load across the Channel and morning found the company ready to step on French soil at Cherbourg. A four-minute shower bath with the limited water supply and the visits to the mess hall are the prominent points of that camp's exper- iences. Every one was anxious to make the hike to the train the next evening. Monday afternoon the train carried us through the out- skirts of Versailles and Paris. That evening the ber.uties of the slopes of the Seine iittracted the men's thoughts until dnrkness prevented the soldier tourist's continuing such sight-seeing. Tuesday morning Se- min- was reached Jind the triun's work was done. After a noon mess of corn-willy and bard tack the company wearily hiked to Cernois, in which they were to liillet. Here policing-up, training and first experiences in guard duty were the schedule. Siui- day pusses to Semur and black-berries were the recreatiomv. Wednes- day morning, September ISth at (t :30 A. M.. the c(mipany fell in to hike to Les Laumes. That afternoon the men bec.nne ac(;uainte(l with the soldier "40-S" cars. Daylight found the troop train in Hericourt. from which .-i hike was made to Rrevillieis. The .second evening was the introduction to mail from the Sttites. which proved to be an intermittent disappointment. THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 105 Gas Masks. Helmets and gini-carts were adclecl to the equipment. The civilian.M decided it was time to gather apples after the O. D.'s had been guests for a few days. Saturday, October ."itli. was a bu.sy day, as preparations for moving were on the schedule. That evening, a hike as cart-mules was made to Danjoutin in which the company resided a day. The next evening, a never-to-be-forgotten hike ended in St. Cosme, Alsace. The company demonstrated that en- durance was one of their chai-acteri sties as not a man fell out. While at St. Cosme the German planes discovered that the company's Ma- chine Guns were everlastingly vigilant as anti-air-craft guns and as a result one plane came down in No-man's land while endeavoring to get back across the lines. Although fifty i)er cent of the company con- tracted the "Flvi" only two members. Pvts. John F. Pingree and Henry Kestel, made the supreme sacrifice. October 29th ended the company's service here and before midnight of the next day billets were located in Vescemont. near Giromagny. Here the company rested, trained and maneuvered until Thursday morning. November 7th. when they briskly hiked to Belfort to entrain for a more active sector. The next morning, they unloaded at Andilly and proceeded to Bouvron. north of Toul. where they billeted. All day Saturdiy and Sunday trench packs wei'e kept rolled for a minute's- warning dep.xrture, but November 11th interfered with the schedule and the population of the village were forced to endure the company's pres- ence until the day following Thanksgiving. It is suspected the village celebrated November 2!)th. for the gun and ammunition carts were to rumble through Commercy's streets late that afternoon. The evening of November 30th. the billeting and baggage party received the com- t)any in Menaucourt. and the prospective day in which the men were to rest and shave had come after ten weeks. Maneuvers, detail, and other soldier activities soon interfered with tendencies to be idle. Throughout the history of the company, none of its members were arrested or court-martialed, and on every hike, whether long or short, no man ever fell out. In addition to these exceptional records, when one considers the luiusual si^irit of unity throughout the company, their unwillingness to be daunted in any undertaking and their making the best of eich situation, one realizes that the preceding paragraphs are limited sug.gestions of the incidents which might rightfully be in- cluded in the company's historical record. lAt.

Augur, Regimental Adjutant, April-June, 1919 THIS organization was originally made up of one hundred ten men. drawn from three counties in Iowa ; Chicasaw, Floyd and Em- mett, September 5th and 19, 1917 ; of this number the Company still retained forty-six at the end. George "Whitmer, the first man as- signed to the Company, was' also the first man to be registered at Camp Dodge. From the February 5th call, the Supply Company took men who came from miscellaneous Iowa points, and from the May 2Sth call, the Supply Company received a few from Nebraska and a number from Missouri. The Company was filled to full strength by the transfer of men from various organizations, and the assignment of men from Camp Funston shortly before the departure of the Division for overseas. The Supply Comp.uiy had originally five Regular Army men; Ser- geant Andrew Lee, who wasi made 1st Sergeant of the Company while en route to the coast; R. S. S. David C. Dailey ; Mess Sergeant Bar- rett, who was later transferred to Company K ; Sergeant Neal and Sergeant "Chuck" O'Conner. Sergeants Lee and Dailey left the Com- pany to attend the Army Candidates School at Langres. France, suc- cessfully completing the course after the Armistice was signed. The original officers of the company were : 1st Lt. Donald G. Hunter, 1st Lt. Wilson, 1st Lt. Skoning. 2nd Lts. Brown, Jacobson, Johnson, Nelson, and Anderson, all of whom have been transferred to other organizations. Uur officers while at tlie front were : Captain George P. Gurley, assigned to the Company in May. 1918 ; 1st Lt. .1. Sterling Kelley, and 2nd Lt. L. C. Hazen who joined the Company during February, 1918 ; and 2nd Lt. Warren S. Jamar who joined us in July. 1st Lt. Alvin J. Gable, whose driving and energetic personality was a main spring to the Company for more than a year, left the Company February, 1919, to take an assignment in Germany, taking with him Lee Bradley as an orderly. Lt. Wiedeman joined the Company in September. 1918. and for some time was on duty with the 3rd Battalion. An accident suf- fered at Commercy, France, .sent him to an S. O. S. hospital in Janu- ary. 1919. 2nd Lt. John H. Robel joined us in January, 1919. The Supply Company was organized by Capt. Daniel H. Sullivan who was succeeded by Capt. Cleveland Skinner in January, 1918. Due to ill health, Capt. Skinner secured an extended leave of absence and Capt. George P. Gurley, our last Company Commander, was assigned to the Regiment in May, 1918. The Supply Company ranked second to none in athletics during the fall of 1917. having the champion football team of the Regiment. The team was formed by such stars as Cecil Sarff and George Whitmer, who afterwards became members of the Divisional football team. Camp Dodge activities during the summer of 1918 were feverish in- deed, but no man slacked his duty. R. S. S. R. F. Klatt and Sergeant Mayer, with their assistants, handled the work at the Supply Office. 108 THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY K. S. S. l>,iilcy \v;is in clijuij;!' ol" tlu' w jirrlioiiscs. iiiid K. S.

The work con- sisted of tnrninjj in e(iuipment, and drawinja: articles necess iry for overseas service. Net the least of our troubles were p-.u-kinsj;, wei.£fh- injr and marking the Kefjiniental freight which we never saw again. The mules had to stay at home, and we s\uv missed them en our hikes through France. Tlie journey across tlie United States may be said to have been the most comfortable of our travels. Our beds were berths in real Pullman cars and were quite a lot in contrast to those we have travelled in since. Instead of seeing "Tourist Pullman" we read "40 Hommes, 8 Chevaux." The Company entrained at Camp Dodge August 5. lt»is. and after travelling three diiys and nights arrived at Camp Upton August Sth at 11:00 P. M. It was a happy and restful (?) three days that we spent at this camp, being undisturbed by intervals of sleep. Here we were equipijed with woolen clothing and over.seas caps. Pvt. Latham ilrove our Captain's side car and decided to come with us. but shortly after our arrival overseas was transferred as a motor cycle orderly to He-.idquarters Company. (Ml a beautiful ( V » Sunday UK-rning. August 11th. we U'ft Camp Upt(Mi at 2 :00 A. M. in a refreshing shower, which most of the men were inclined to call a flood, and this was the occasion on which the Supply Comphny's fortune deserted il. We huddled agiinst the depot for hoiu'S (more or less) in the rain, and secured oiu- final initiation in the discomforts of overseas caps; then when it came oiu" tiu'u to en- train, the cars were full. We were finally packed into the cars with our p;icks and rifles and were rushed to Hoboken. then, by ferry, to pier No. 2'.'. at P.rooklyn. Tt was here that we embarked for overseas on the English Transport "Delta." measuring the gangplank to the tuiu' of Tipperary. played by the .■!r)Oth liand. Oiu- trip across the Atlantic was undisturbed, save the excitement caused by a huge whale and the sight of an iceberg somewhere near the coast of Iceland. The iceberg made itself felt, as well as seen, in the baths. In spite of the boat drills, crowded hammocks, and food that utterly robbed us of our apix»tities. most of the men look back upon the trip with pleasure, unless it he Mess Sergeant Haley. Cook Oitch, and Olie Morris, who contributed most of their daily rations to THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY 109 the sea faring creatures. After a fourteen day voyage we landed at Tilbury Doclcs, London, August 2r)th and happiness again was oiu's. At New York we received what seemed destined to be our com- panions for miuiy weeks — some seven hundred boxes of ammunition, a car load of machine guns and numerous other articles of combat equip- ment. How we learned to know eacli box will be observed in the re- mainder of our history. Out of the Delta's hold, across docks and into one of John Bull's trains we carried the loveable boxes, and they rode peaceably for us' until we arrived in Clierbourg, France. After partaking of the dainties of the English Red Cross, we entrained on .John Bull's passenger cars and were taken to a Rest Camp at Romsey. England. Here again, we lost some very valuable comforts ; for after the so-called rest of two days was ended, we hiked to Southampton, which was admittedly the hardest hike of all. Our new hob-nails blistered our feet, our backs became fatigued, and by the time we were marched across another gang-plank onto the "Maid of Orleans," any man would have said that his pack weighed more than seventy-five pounds. Our Channel voyage was undisturbed. We satisfied (?) our appetities by getting sandwiche.'i from the Steward, and after a seven hours ride we landed in Cherbourg, France, the morning of August 29tli. Then out of the hold of the "Miid of Orleans" (we were becoming professional stevedores) we car- ried our red striped boxes on to the first French trains we had ever seen. Here we tarried at another Rest Camp over night. At Semur. where we arrived September 1st. oiu- old familiar boxes came off the cars and stayed under our loving care for several weeks: guarded by a detail camped in nearby French Railway carriages, and eating wlierever it could get food. From Semur we went to the village of Forleans, and it was at this place where the Company received its first close order drill since its arrival in Europe. We hiked each day in the soft gentle rain which continued to fall, until we moved to Les Laumes on September 18th. Here we loaded our boxes on another train, and at 11 :00 that night we unloaded them at Hericourt. We snatched a night's sleep in the theatre and it was here we got our first introduction to aeroplane scares. That night a native doused our glim by announcing that Boche planes were in the air and for us to ex- tinguish our lights. The next djiy our well worn boxes went into trucks again and were hauled to Chagey where they recuperated for more than a fortnight. At Chagey we received our first mail from the states since our arrival in France. It was here that the Supply Company was divided for the first time, and assigned to the battalions. Sergeants Klatt and Artz left the Company and went to the Officers training school at Langres. Ordnance Sergeant O. T. Bates and others from our Ordnance Detachment went as an advance party to the front line trenches and were tlie first men in the organization to see action. At this time several of oiu' men took the Influenza and went to the hospital. 110 THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY Tlic liil<(' rroiu ("liii.iicy to Hciipc \\:is severe.

Here one of our holidays was to ride back on occasional trucks and wagons after our comrades, the red striped lioxes. At Ileppe they •went into oiu- Regimental Munitions i>ump. Otu' stay at Iteppe was bles.-'ed with comfortable quarters and plenty of excitement. Sergeant Stika was sent to the Gas School and became our (Jas Sergeant. Debolt of the M. P.'s joined tis and was attached to us from that time, taking part in several incidents that required his attention, and settling quite a number of disputes. It was abo at Keppe that we lost two of our good men. Harry Boline and Kenneth I'atton. who died with Influenza, those being the only deatlis in tlie company. Speaking of the famous bombardment : well, we were in it. or at least some of us. Lt. Kelley, Regimental Munitions Officer, heard the noise and believing it to be American ammunition that was being ex- pended, rushed his detacliment into trucks and burned up the road for Balschwiller. arriving after the first spasm was over. The German Artillery, somehow, got wise to his arrival and commenced putting on a second performante for him. It was then that a loud and autlientic voice rang out. saying : "All American soldiers off the street and let the supply company unload the grenades." We did ; ran the tri;cks up as far as possible and evacuated some of the wounded. A few days later the Germans presented some 77 shells to a wagon train while on the oi>en road, but outside of splashing a little mud and scaring .several teams, no damage was done. It was while the outfit was up at the front that the first pay day in France popped up. Then the 37 mm platoon of the Headquarters Company decided that the Sup- ply Company hadn't enough excitement, and proceeded to open up on Reppe. After removing a corner of a barn and spoiling and disrupting the peace of the blacksmith's fliop. they reconsidered and changed their range. It cost them forty francs but then wo always did want a win dow on that side of the barn. October 2sth \\-e were told to vamoose. So on the night of October 29th we polished our hob-nails on a "beaucoup" hike to Rougegoutte. It was during this night that R. S. S. Dailey wandered all night with his horse trying to find the village, and finally wandered back to Reppo the next morning very hungry and tired. We hoped that the ammuni- tion wi' had so iKM'sistently loaded and unloaded had been left in the trenches, Imt up she bobbed again by the truck load. Billets at Rouge- goutte were too good to lat t, so on November 7th we sprinkled rolling THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 111 stock along the road to Belfort and entrained for "somewhere." This somewhere happened to be a railhead northeast of Toul. We and the beloved ammunition took possession of Hamonville and had just about made ourselves comfortable when we were ordered to move one station north to Mandres. Mandres had one advantage over previous billets. It had been shelled, bombed and generally mussed up to the extent that the civilian population had surrendered to the rats. Outside the fact that several roofs were missing, and that the rats insisted on having their game of tag on our bunks at midnight, everything was lovely. Thanksgiving had its bitters as well as its: sweets. Olives, mince pie and all such fixings with an order to be on the road early the next day. November 29th we shuffled the gravel, hoofing it to Commei'cy, D and Supply Companies hiking from five A. M. to four P'. M. with only five minutes rest each hour, nothing to eat and making 45 kilometers. The next day we completed the hike of ;^0 kilometers to Menaucourt. Christmas was some day. Feed, slum and everything. Beaucoup horses' arrived and kept us busy getting them in shape which we finally did and took a few prizes with them. Pvt. W. D. Hudson. Honor Boll Boline, Harry.

They are not the Madamoiselles of song and fiction. When war broke out in 1914 these three girls (all under nineteen years of age) were attending what corresponds to an American high school, in the city of Commercy. They were sent to their homes on the opening of hostilities, and because of the severe restrictions put upon civilian travel during the war none of them was permitted to visit even the next village, two kilometers away, through the four and a half years of fighting. Each of their fathers entered the Army. The girls laid aside their books and helped their mothers keep the home together and care for the younger children through the long years of anxiety and retrenchment. Such moments as they did have for study they spent on English, and with the help of the American soldiers who were billeted in their homes from time to time they gained a useful knowledge of our language. The girl on the right is the daughter of the Mayor of Naix, the girl in the center is her cousin, and the young lady on the left is the daughter of the villagfe schoolmaster. Histivrjj of ^Mcikal j3eteclimcnt Ox one of tliose traditionally torrid Kansas mornings in tlio latter part of August, 1917. a notice posted at the Headquarters of the Medical Training Camp at Fort Riley stated that Lts. C. M. Dar- gan, M. L. Ransom, AV. W. Harrington and H. C. Irvin of the Medical Corps and 17 men would go to Camp Dodge. Iowa, as the nucleus of the Medical Department of a new National Army regiment. That was our beginning. A toss of the coin gave us three sergeants, Howard E. Doran as top-sergeant, Frank Haas and Guy C. Stutzman ; "Stutz" was the youngest and having just graduated from Knox College was put in charge of the paper work. Next day. August 25th, a train of decrepit Wabash day coaches left the Union Pacific Station with our group and 250 other officers and men l)Ound for Des Moines. Next day at noon time found us dragging through the dusty, sandy, unpaved streets of the )iew camp. There were no lights, water or beds. We took possession of a newly constructed barrack on Main street near the Arsenal, and discovering that a mess had been started over in the new Camp Bakery, left it bare of chow. The camp at that time was nothing more than a crazy man's dream of half completed wooden barracks, corn fields torn up by sewer digging machines and a horde of mechanics and laborers hurrying to get the place in shape for the arrival of the selected service men. Water was so scarce that Fellers was arrested and dragged off to the guard house for washing oft his razor. Cleanliness almost meant court-martial those days unless yoii sprinklod your face and hands when the sentry's face was turned. Shortly after the arrival of the first contingent of the National Army the Infirmary Building, in the future regimental area near 19th Street, was completed. There was no transportation of any kind to help move. Sergeant Doran found an old ambulance held together with wires and ropes. It looked as If it might hold together to move some of the iron beds and mattresses acquired a few days previously. The Medics proved to be willing horses and by hitching and pulling dragged all their belongings a mile and a half farther north. On September 20th some newly arrived men were added to the roster and they were put to work assisting in the routine examination ■of the recruits. It was here that Lapin and Nagel became famous as the Eye Specialists and Lt. Harrington with Benson and Jensen as the Needle Trio. Many were the heroes of the A. E. F. who became inocu- lated with the anti-typhoid serum at their hands. Their greatest day was when Earl Caddock, the World's Champion Wrestler, yielded on ■"points." • Early in October began the training and lecture work in earnest. It was found that Marker had been a former cook at the Chamberlain and he was set to work to start the mess. Those were the days when meals seemed like banquets and on Sundays a riot of chicken and ice cream. Harmer became chief of the Pill House but later was succeeded 114 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY liy ll.iny < >st('iiii;iii wiin \v;is (liil)licst or.i;ani/.a(ion in tiie re.iiimenl.

Joe Dwyer and Feldmann fell in foi- the cart and Mullen and Kellers as moulded orderlies eared for the riding horses. In time, after clipping iiid i)roperIy grooming the animals, we liad a siileiidid outtit. The beginning of spring still found us without any inuuediate prosiiects of .going across to France. Sergeants Haas and Don I>rew<'r became restless: so giving uj) the bright lights they tiuaied to things of a more soudier color and transferrc>d to the Medical Detachment of a colored I'ioneer Battalion which was seheduled to start overseas. "Stutz" was appointed "Top ser.geanl." Soer the Divi- sion moved to the Hericourt district with regimental Headiiuarters at THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 115 Cliagoy. Tlieiv the liiflnenza epidemic .struck us. WlieiT.y. Terrill. Johnson and Anderson went to bed and tlie rest of the Medics put on masks and fought the "Flu" and the pneumonia. Krebahach, Flem- mig, and Sheeler were new men but made good attendants, ^'ilhauer fell by the wayside and couldn't eat. witli him a certain sign of illness. For nearly two weeks a factory building holding nearly oOO .'iclv men and every other available billet were crowded. October r»tli we started on the thirty mile hike to the front line trenches in Alsace east of Belfort : the tirst and second battalions oc- cupying the advance .sector near Hecken and Balschwiller and the third at St. Cosme in reserve. Headquarters Detachment was stationed at Brechaumont. It was here that Breunig became famous for his aero- plane observations. On the evening of October 12th wdiile Captain Kooney and Boyd. Nicholson, ;ind Feeney were in the advance station at Balschwiller. the Germans sent a raiding party over preceded by a box barrage. There was plenty of business and little .sleep for the rest of the night. In the latter part of October, the third battalion re- lieved the second and the first was relieved by a part of the ?>4yth. About Xovend)er 1st the regiment was sent to a rest area and billeted at Giromagny. Captain Irvin who had been in poor liealth went to the hospital and was later returned to the States. When the regiment was transferred to the Tool front November Tth for the drive against Metz it looked as though the Medics would have their hands full. The armistice was signed, liowever. just as the advance was ordered and we remained in the nearby billets: the first battalion at Bois De liehanne and Mandres. the second at Andilly and Sanze.v. and the third battalion and Headquarters at the Bois de L:igne.v. Captai)i Harrington and Lt. Evans of the first battalion were relieved by Captain Garner F. Parker and Lt. Wm. J. Hawes of the Sanitary Train. Lt. L. B. Criunrine, also of the Sanitary Train, arrived to take Captain Irvin's i)Iace in the .second battalion. Thanksgiving Day was celebrated with roast pig and b.v p.icking up to move to a new Itilleting area. Next day began the long two day hike to the Gondre- court district, ol' miles away. We were assigned to five French vil- lages of the usual type : Longeaux. where Co. "B" and Co. "K" were lo- cated witli Lt. Topkins in charge, was perhaps most typical. After getting settled the main item of interest was the fight for mail. Dickerson and Stephenson Avere the heavy letter receivers while Yepson and Elliott weren't far behind in pulling them down.

A, 350th Infantry." The officer personnel of our skeleton company consisted of Capt. I. E. Wight, Lt. Wilson, Lt. Fred Skoning, Lt. Lloyd E. Musburger, Lt. Harold B. Meyer, Lt. Frank S. Peikins and Lt. N. Landers. The duty of preparing for the Hun-husking task was im- mediately assumed and the company was gradually strengthened by re- cruits from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Missouri. After months of intensified training we were finally ordered to prepare for overseas duty. At noon of the fourth day of August, 1918, we entrained together with Company B of the same regiment. The officer personnel at this time consisted of Capt. Marion Y. Fonville, Lts. Patterson, Musburger, Lynch, Meyer, Gerstenkorn and Beebe. We left on the Rock Island on a Ptillman train and arrived at Chicago at midnight where we were switched to the New York Cen- tral. On the following afternoon our train stopped at Cleveland, Ohio, where all enjoyed a swim in Lake Erie. After the swim the Red Cross of Cleveland fed us on pies until there was not even a Missourian, (claimed to be proficient at pie eating contests) but had had his inner man satisfied. We boarded the train at 5 :00 o'clock and continued our eastward trip. On the morning of the sixth we passed along the Hudson river with all its beautiful scenery. At 11.00 A. M. we reached Weehawken. N. J., where we detrained and went via Ferry down East River, passing under the famous Brooklyn Bridge and in view of the towering skyscraper skyline of New York City. We landed on Long Island where the company entrained for Camp Upton. We remained Iiere five days and were outfitted with over-seas equipment. On August 11th we sailed out of New York Harbor on the English ship "Delta," accompanied by a convoy of thirteen ships loaded with Y^anks and all with one object, namely, to reach the battlefields of France. The trip, though uneventful, was enjoyable with calm weather all of the way. On August 25th the company landed at Tilbury Docks, England, and from there we took a train to Romsey where we stayed three days at Camp Woodley, an American rest camp. The company departed from Romsey on foot the 28th of August and went to Southampton where we embarked on the "Maid of Orleans" and the next morning found us at Cherbourg, France. From Cherbourg we hiked to a rest camp three miles out where we rested 118 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY a few (lays. These lii-st two liiUes.

At Toutry we \\(fe i;i\"en a heart.v welcome \>y the women and children, who had never seen Yankee soldiers before. The inhabitants and their methods of livins seemed very (juaint to the Itoys. They used crude farming imple- ments and oxen were their beasts of burden. The peasants wouhl c(mie clattoring down the streets in tlieir wooden shoes driving cows and geese, which all seemed strangely interesting to us. We left Tontrv after two weeks of intensive training and hiked to Les Lanmes where we entr;:ine(l and rode in the toy box cars to Hericourt. From Hericoiut the company hiked to ("hagey. a dis- tance of 1") kihmieters. Here we drilled for sixteen days in mud and rain, and like most of the companies had numerous cases of influenza, three of which i)roved fatal. On October 4tli we left Chagey for the front.

On their wa.v the.v passed a de.serted apple orchard, and liaving an affection for the mellow fruit on the trees, they immed- iately started to appease their appetites. While all were partaking of the stolen sweets the Boclie dropped six or seven three-inch shells, some of them lighting within thirty yards of the apple thieves. Apples in j>lace of being uppermost in the minds of the boys were undermost as they flattened on their stomachs waiting for a cessation of the shelling, at which time the.v immediately left, not remembering to take back apples for any of their bunkies. Another incident was that of two ruiuiers. I'.otsford .-ind Uham.v, who narrowly escaped from a Fritzy by running, while the (Jernian was ai)plying the same method for his .safety. Botsford and Khamy were walking along about dusk one evening wlieii from an overlianglng Ixnigh there dropixvl a (Jerman who evidently was over on a tour of inspection. .Vs yet there has been no decision as to whether F.otsford. lihamy, or Fritzy made the best time in getting away.

John, accompanied by a Frenchman, was on Post No. 1. and a Boclie. possibly more, came near .Tolm's post and tired several shots over liis lioad. Smitli innnediately opened hre witli French grenades, all of which refused to go off. He cliased away the enemy at any rate. The next night Smitli equipped himself with American grenades and had a similar experience except tliat the American grenades went off and the Germans never botlici'cd his jxist again. Chiude I'iplvin opened up on a I'oche one night and exchanged sliot for shot with tlie (Jerman until both I'ipkin's assistant on the post and the (lerman liad left. I'pon being I'elieved A company returnc^l to (Juvenatten whert^ we were billeted for several days. From here we wciit to the Vauthiermont Woods ;!iid from there to L:i Planche La I'retre in the Vosges Moun- tains. Here was some of the finest scenery that we had seen in Franc(>. We left for I'.elfort on Xovendier Ttli where the comp:iny took a train aiul went to a reserve camp in the He Hanne woods. The men were ri'lieved re made in the command of the company. Capt. Miller was succeeded by Capt. McCoy; Capt. McCoy was succeeded by Capt. McKee. Also Lts. Swanson, and Dunham played no small part during the per- iod of training. All through these eleven months of training at Camp Dodge Com- pany "B" ranked high in the Regiment in its standard on the drill field, rifle i-ange and general conduct in barrack life. Col. Price re- marked after one of the Regimental Reviews that a certain Platoon in Company "B" p.issed tlie best review. The May draft brought in a new contingent of i"aw but fine ma- terial. On June 10, 1918, 130 new. but husky and alert men were as- signed to the company. The officers and N. C. O.'s took a proud inter- est in their promising outfit. Soon followed the most strenuous days of training experienced by any American army unit. These men of grit stuck to their job without a whimper. Eagerly and anxiously the officers and nu>n loolced forward to the great day when they too could leave camp and do their bit in the World War. Finally the memorable day arrived. On Sunday Morning. August 4, 191S, 1st Lt. Faricy took command of the company, which then num- 122 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY licrcd LlU'4 men .ind I'din- dlTiccrs .iiid I w n dlTiccr ciiididalrs.

Scarcely a man fell out. two men stuck to th<' ranks until Iliey fainted. After arriving at an I'higiish Cam)) the men were given a chance to rest and clean up. The following day the men received their first introduction to the well known I'^icnch Troo]) Train. For nearly two full (hiys and nights the men weie crammed and .jammed, while the cars .jolted and .jarred over the rails. At noon on Septeml)er 1st the men detrained at Seniiu'. France, huu.gry and tired. In the heat of that aft(>rnoon. after a scanty "hard tack" dinner, the men strug- gled undi'r their heavy packs for ten miles over hilly and rocky roads. Not a sin.gle man dropped out. Late that night the comi>any was bil- leted in their first French Village. Toiitry. France. Here two weeks of strenuous training followed. At this jilace HI men from Camp Cpton. X. Y. weri' add(>d to the company. ( »n September ITth the Comiiaiiy left Toiitry and after a, two day hike arrived at Les Laumes wlieic the box cars and flat cars again were used, .\fter a night ride in the cold and rain the unit detrained at Ik'ricourt. The company was then billeted at Chagey near Ilericourt wheie comp'.iii.v IIean the morning of Sei)tember L'.lth Ft. Swanson took !.'."> men from "IV company and 100 men from the Isi I'.attalion to the fi'ont line trenches. [n a drenching rain and through flooded lowlands they marchc(l. As the hoys were plodding through mud and water nearly up to their knees and rain pelting on their backs, the Lieutenant called out at the top of his voice. -Colinnn left. Swim." The new command struck the kev to the chord. "Hail. Hail, the (Jang's AH Here." THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 123 Another memorable occurrence at Cliagey was tlie "Flu". Nearly 100 men of the company were taken down with it. Yet the company came out with a worthy record. liavin,iii; lost only two men by the oft'- times fatal epidemic. The order to go to the front came under very adverse conditions. Consequently the company was compelled to leave for the front with only 104 men: For two nights the men plodded and tugged under their packs through mud and rain. One hike will always be remembered by the boys as the most severe during the days of the war. in which a distance of 20 miles was made under bad conditions. On October lltli Company "B" with Company "D" took over a por- tion of the C. K. (Jildwiller near Hecken. During this time at the front the Company experienced several heavy bombardments. Xot a single man was lost in action. Only one man was wounded, a runner, who suffered a fractured leg while carrying a message from Battalion Head- quarters to the front lines. On the night of October 22nd the Company was relieved by Company "K", 341)th Infantry. After being relieved the Company spent a week in the woods at Vauthiermont. Rest, cleaning-up and light drill became the order of the day. It was at this place that Capt. Sorrells from Company "M." 8o2nd Infantry, took command of the company. It was here al.so that 2nd Lt. Womer was added to the company. Upon leaving the above named camp a hike of IS miles took the unit to a village near Giro- magny. After another week's training in maneuvering the Company left with the Regiment for the Toul Sector. It can almost be said that the company was on the road to march into the attack east of Metz. Xovend>er 10th. when orders held the company until further notice. The following day the Armistice was signed. Strange to say, three men of the Company were injured on that same day by the explosion of a Ger- man hand grenade heated in a bon fire hardly fifteen minutes before the historic lltli hour. Thus Company "B"' played its part in the Great War. Though no great test was its lot yet every man was read.v to meet any emergenc.v. Later on the company played its part in the game of Patiently Waiting. APPENDIX GENERAL STEWART HALTED The "Top" gave Kuchta. an Americanized Polander, orders to roll his pack and take his junk to St. Joire and report to l.'t Lt. Nissen for orderly duties. The short, jolly, moonfaced, Polander rolled his pack and started down the road. Twelve kilos lay before him. His pack soon grew heavy and an idea struck him. "ITl stop de next car dat kums by." Soon from behind the curve he heard. KONK ! KONK ! KONK I The chubby Polander placed himself in the middle of the road, threw up both hands and flagged the car. Out stepped an Officer : it was General Stewart. "My lad, what do you want?" said the Gen- eral. "A ride. Sir." was the hasty reply. "What Company are you from?" "Company 'B', Sir."

I^istoi^u of (iliimpany d THE first week in September, 1917, finds Compiuiy "C evolving itself in the midst of tlie dust and serap lumber of the new Camp Dodge. Captain Cronin, Lts. AVasson, Mahoney, Murphy and Warren from the 1st Officers Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minne- sota, and First Sergeant Kaplan and Sgts. Baker and Littleton from the regular army made up our first roll. Our first National Army re- cruits arrived on September 5th. By September 22nd we had grown to a strength of 135 and had moved into pur permanent regimental area between 18th and 20th streets. Dnj-ing the next sixty days, spent mostly on the drill field south of Herrold. and on practice marches over the Polk County roads and hills, we learned to look, feel and drill like soldiers and already had visions of an early departure to France. How- ever, our dreams were shattered when practically all of our men were transferred to the 34th and S7th Divisions and we were left with a skeleton organization of officers and N. C. O.'s. The next ninety days were taken up with officers' and N. C. O. schools. We learned the automatic rifle, had our first gas drill, learned our guard manual and perfected ourselves on close order drill. Our first shooting on the range came in January. Lieut. Noll joined the company during this period and Lieut. Murphy was transferred. Our new recruits arrived on February 23, 1918. They were soon equipped, drills started at once, and again we began to think and talk of an early departure for France. But on April 1st we began to be depleted by transfers and were soon back to our skeleton organization. Between April 2(jth and May 15th we trained our last recruits for other divisions and on Ma.v 28th our men arrived who were to complete our permanent organization. Central and Southern Nebraska and Missouri furnished the greater part of our new men. On June 8th Captain Cronin was ap- pointed Regimental Adjutant and Lt. Wasson was promoted to Captain and took command of the company. During June and July we went through the most intensive train- ing. Close order drill, bayonet practice and grenade throwing, followed in quick succession from early morning till night. Range firing and gas drill completed our training and we were ready to move. Lt. Mc- Laughlin joined the company at this time. On August 4th. at 12 :30 B. M.. we formed for the last time on our old company parade ground in front of Barrack No. 1015 and marched to the train. Companies "C and "D," with a small Medical De- tachment, entrained comfortably in toiuist cars, moved out of Camp Dodge at 2 :00 P. M. Arriving in South Chicago the next morning we detrained for a half hour's exercise. We continued on over the Nickel Plate and Liickawainia Railroads and arrived in Holioken on the morn- 126 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY iii.ii lit' the scvciilli.

(Jildwiller sur-le-Mont to our sector in the trenches in the edge of the woods south of Cildwiller sur-le-Mont. The first platoon was in re.serve and occupied part of the old Cand)risis Abri. The fourth, third and second platoons occupied the front lines in order THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 127 from left to right. The Uth Company of the 4!)th Kattalion of Alpine Chasseur.*' and our own advance party of 2.") nien were already oceupy- inff the lines when we arrived. The platoons were divided into .groups and posted by reliefs at the observation posts. I.t. MeDonough joined the comixiny here. During the day dugouts were eh-aned out and shelt- ers constructed, while at tlie same rime we U-arni'd tlie plan of defense and the necessity of Iveeping out of siglit at all times. Daily artillery fire exchanged over our heads or scattered along ouv lines and visits from the Roche planes furnislied some excitement, but all were disappointed in not getting an opportunity at the Boclie with rifles or grenades. About midnight of October llth-lUtli. ("omp^my "D" was ordered to relieve us. Soon after midnight we were on tlie march into support at (ruevenatten. The next evening about seven 1'. M. the Boche raided the sector soutli of us and wc lieard our first heavy artillery firing. After four days in suppnrt at (Uicvcnattcn we moved forward to Hecken and Gildwilh'r. immediately in tlie rear of tlie lines, relieving tlie !»tli Company of the 4!)th Battalion of Chasseurs. During our i-ix days here we bad our first experience on patrols and working parties in No Man's land. Eacli night working parties were furnished by the company which cleaned out and repaired the old (•(•mmuniciiting trendies toward Ammertzwiller. Boche planes Avere al- most continuously active during' the day and each evening soon after supper a scattering fire of artillery always arrived, doing no damage. On the night of the "Jl'iid our whole Battalion was relieved by the 8rd Battalion of the o4!)tli Infantry and soon after midnight we had marched back into regimental reserve ;it Vautliiermont. After a week's stay here we nnirched over into the Vo.sges moun- tains, to Vescemont. On November Stli we marched to Belfort and entrained for the Tout .Sector. Arriving the next day at the rail head near Royaumeix we unloaded the train and reached our billets in Bois de Rehanne soon after dark. A\'ariiing orders for the advance to the lines were received the next day and on the night of November '.itli we were ready for a march to Thiaucourt where we were to support the 2Sth Infantry and take up the attack near Dampvitoux on the morning of the 11th. Th^ signing of the armistice brought a cancellation of our orders and the great drive before ]\Ietz in which we were to take part never occiu'red. We left Bois de Rehanne on November 30th and after making our record two-day-ma rcli of Go kilometers we reached St. Joire and a few days later Naix-aux-Forges where we immediately prepared to make ourselves as comfortable as possible for a winter of maneuvers and rumors of sailing orders for home.

Ahciii. formerly of the St. I'aul Dail.v Xi-ws. received lii.s assignment to said company and proceeded immediately to put it on the map. The third of September, 1917. five lieiitenants were added to the fold and on the fifth came the company's proportion of the first famous five per cent whose duty it was to prov(> wlictlicr conscription was or was not to he a success. The .solution of tliis Company's prolilem ai'rivcd simultaneousl.v with it. thougli from an entirely different source, in the foi-m of Corpora! Tliomas 11. l>lacl<. late of tiic Third Infantr.v. A\'ith a }n\\ s'.T foi- business and fists hardened liy years of Kegulai' ,Vrn).\' experience lie proceeded to malis witli such succes; that when the September 20th increment arrived those of the fifth could .siive valuable assistance. This was opportun.e. as Corporal Black had by this time l)een made First Sergeant, and h;.d duties other than drillin,g recruits. Such was the story of each addition. The officers. First Ser.geant and old timers, from several months to as many weeks, would pass on to the l.ate civilians what was what. This cooperation became so effective through practice (of which we h;;d a great deal, as we would get oi!i- (luota (Mdy to transfer most of it to other camps) that when our liiial increments arrived May MO, lOl.s. tlie Missourians were showin.g so mucii in sucli a short time tliat on August 4. lOls. we lioarded the train with France our ultimate destination. At tills point Ihe company sulfered a severe loss in tlie person of Captain Ahern. who was promoted to ^la.ior. C.iptaiu Ahern was universally liked b.v officers and men alike. He was a strict disciplin- arian, but Ills orders were always tempered with .iustice and foresi.ght. His chief concern was the comfort and welfare of th().se in his charge. His efficiency justly gave him higher rank, however, so that the only legitimate regret tlie company had was tlnit it did not fail to its lot to .get him as P.attalion Commander. The trip across the I'liited Slates by train to Camp T'ptoii was glorious. Our friendly neighbors for a year. Company "C". .'[."iOth Infantry, were with us and we were all in spirits to heartily reciprocat<' with the ^end offs e.icli and ever,vb(;dy accorded us eiiroute. At Camp I'ptou we stayed lon.g enough to miss three nights sleep and c-atch our over.seas eipiipment on the run. The morning of the 11th of August found Comp.iny "D" leading the First Battalion up the gang plank of tlie good ship Delta to the tune of. "We Won't b(> liack T'ntil It's Over. Over There", played by the Kegimental liaiid. Alxmt the only thing tliat needs to be mentioned here about tlie trip across the Atlantic is that tlu' weather was excellent and that the other extreme was well taken care of by the perfume of curry. 130 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY We liiiidcd at 'I'ilhiny docks and fidiii Ilicrc were takfii Ity trains to the rest camp at Uoiusey. Here we "rested" for several days and tlien proceeded to get our first taste of real work in the shape of a hike in full equipment to Soutliampton. There the n'st of the Battalion was ruslied out that night to cross the cliannel, while "D" was fortunately left behind. We really rested at this rest camp that night and were in a happy mood when we received our order next morning to start at 2:15 P. M. By seven P. M. we were calmly sailing for France, rein- forced by a Captain, two Lieutenants, and twelve enlisted men who had been left behind by tlieir organizations, due to the charms of Southampton. From the time we landed in Cherbourg. Aiigu.'t 30th, until we wont into the trenches on October 11th, the story of Company -D" is probably that of the rest of the .S8th Division. Our particular points of activity were Pouligny, Chagey and Guevenatten. There were, however, two matters of decided importance that intervened during this interim. While at I'ouligny. thirty-one recruits joined us. These were assigned to the Company at Camp Upton, bdt attached to Company "L", .•t.'iOth. for transport^jition over seas. Rumors had it that these men were of the type that would keep the guard house flooded. They did not live up to their reputation but on the other hand stepped forth like the real men they were and willingly did their share to maintain the high standard already set by the rest of the personnel. While at Chagey quite a nnnilier were stricken with Spanish Influenza and as a result Company "D" had its first loss by death since its organization. The men who died were one and all excellent soldiers and nothing but the highest praise would do them justice. We have all. more or less, tried to do our "bit" but there is no doul)t that tlicy have done theirs. On October 11th Company '•D" relieved Company "C" in the Gildwiller-Sur-Le-Mont Sector. The relief was quickly made, thanks to Lt. Greenwalt and a detachment of enlisted men from the Battalion who had been in the sector with the French for two weeks. All was quiet the first night and day. S(»on. h(»wever. the Boche woke up. On the night of the liMli and I'.Uh. simultaneously with the second Battalion. o.jOth. on our right, the first I'.attalion. in conjunction with the 4!»th Chassoius in the sector, were to advance the lines to beyond Ammertzwiller. The r.oche was putting on a party of his own that night, however, at Balschwiller. in the second Battalion sector, and so as not to slight us .sent in our midst enough shrapnel and high explosive to cau.se the French Biittalion C. O. to change his mind and postpone operations until the next nigiit. Accordingly, on the night of the 13th and 14th. at C. :1.". 1'. M. the .second platoon of Company "D", luider Lt. Forbes, and lifteen French .soldiers in charge of their THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 131 sergeants:, passed out the Vaftier Sappe, across to Ammertzwiller, reconuoitered their proposed positions and had everytliiug according to specifications by shortly after midnight. One-half of the fourth platoon, mider Lt. Womer, were supporting them about three hundred meters back. All would have undoubtedly been well but for the fact that about fifty Germans were all this time resting in the cellars of .some of the ruins of Ammertzwiller, directly in line with some of our P.P.s. The French had reconnoitered and pronounced all clear, so naturally the outposts were rather disconcerted when daylight brought a deluge of Germans upon them from various dii'ections. At the same time the German Artillery opened up overhead. Lack of space forbids details and all that can be given here is resxilts. By eight o'clock the following night all the French and all but one of Company "D's" men had returned, bringing two German prisoners. The one missing. Pvt. Anthony Mernofski. was wounded and captured, but escaped before the Armistice and returned shortly thereafter. He reported that between twelve and fifteen Germans were killed. The admiration of the French for the Americans was freely expressed by the French Sergeants in their reports ; as a result four members of this company wear the "Croix-de-Gueri*e" ; they are : 2nd Lt. Lowell L. Forbes. Corp. Richard M. Franta. Pvt. 1st cl. Emanuel Hauff. Pvt. 1st cl. John S. Zarifes. The remaining nine days this company was iu the trenches were enlivened only by occasional shelling from which we had one casualty, Pvt. Daniel Maldonado, who had his jawbone fractured by a piece of shrapnel. Our last two days almost stunned us with prosperity. We received foiu- decorations, three promotions among the officers, our first pay since leaving Camp Dodge, and an issue of socks. After all this the hike to Vauthiermont the night of the relief was a pleasure trip, though it was four A.M. before we arrived there. The next day we stood reveille at eleven thirty, with mess-kits, lined by the rolling kitchen. Not a man or officer missed the formation. Jaunts from Vauthiermont to Yescemont and then by way of Belfort to the Toul Sector has its memories of sore backs, empty stomachs, crowded "side-door pullmans" etc., but let them rest. The armistice found usi at Mandres stripped for action and under orders to proceed above Thiaucourt to do our bit in giving the Boche his knock-out blow. After lingering at Mandres until the latter part of November the movement of the Division to the Gondrecourt area gave us a seventy kilometer hike to St. Joire which commenced at 5 :00 A.M. one morning and terminated at 10:00 P. M. the day following.

Aeolus Troop Train, Newport News to Dodge COMPANY E History of (Homp^nu % Up aiul down the streets of Camp Dodge, in dust and in mud, through twelve weary months the process of transforming men into soldiers, and civilians-in-uuiform into officers, went wearily along. All cast longing eyes toward the beauties of France ; the less exacting hours of drill across the sea, and the excitement of the trenches. At last it came — August fourth was entraining day ; beastly hot — remember? — and along with the rest we were crowded in COMMON pullmans. Then across the States, across the sea, from London to Southampton — cheers, whistles, flags, wherever folks could be to greet us. A night trip across the channel and landing at Cherbourg. France, August 31st, 1918. After three days' travel on — but why dwell on those days? Training for the trenches began at Courcelles les Semur, Cote d'Or. Two weeks of training here, then a march to Les Laumes where we entrained for Hericourt and marched to Brevillers, arriving September 19th. Trench equipment was issued and things began to happen, for our mail at last caught up to us. From here we sent up our advance partj^ to learn of our sector in Alsace, consisting of Lt. Oscar J. Nelson, Sergeants Carl L. Pettard. Henry A. Barkelew and Corporals Adolf W. Anderson and Lawrence W. Faber. October 6tli the march to the front began with a stop for a day at Danjoutin and a fifteen kilometer march to Traubach la Bas, arriving there October 8, 1918. Companies "E" and "F" moved up to Balschwiller and occupied the front line trenches in connection with the Sixty-fifth French Chasseurs. The trenches were held for four days with nothing event- ful other than the patrols, wading in mud, and encountering many rats. On the night of the 12th, this Company was to be part of a working party in connection with the taking over of Boche trenches. Part of the Company had left Traubach la Bas when a section of the M. G. Company broke into the line of connecting files and the remainder of our Company followed them a couple hundred yards down the wrong road. The delay of returning and getting on the right road, however, was probably the salvation of the Company. The Boche barrage fell heavily in the area that no doubt would have been occupied by a large part of the Comi>any. Captain Heni-y A. House with the fourth platoon sergeants. Nelson, Laird, Conners and Faber had been directed to tape the lines for the working party. Lt. Oscar J. Nelson was with a special party of twenty-three "E" Company men to get further instruction in raiding work from French Officers. Lts. A'ernon E. Hodges and Erne F. Apfeld were with the Captain's party ; Lt. Alonzo C. Brackett was at Battalion Headquarters as Gas Officer and upon Lt. Floyd H. Gilliland rested all the responsibility for the Company. The men had never been under shell fire : the night was pitch dark. 136 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY yet as quickl.\- .-is llic Im nih.-iidiiiriii cciscd ;iml .-i inarcli could lie continued tlir < 'niiip.iiiy \\;is in li.ind. ic;idy for use sliduld the Itdclic attoiniit ail a I lack.

The followin.i? da.v an order was received for a working party con- sisting of the entire Company to proceed into the tri'nches that night and estaldish trench communication with the German front line. The Conipan.v moved forward under cover of darkness in column of sqiiads with tifty meters distance between platoons. It was halted when its head arrived at the P.C. of Compan.v "IT", and the process of issuing i-ntrenching tools was begun. Before this work was fairl.v started, the (Jermans opened up an intensive bombardment, lasting for tifty minutes, occasioning thirteen casualties and the death of four men.

( )i'deis were repeated the da.v following the bombardment, and the available men in the Company, numbering ' scarcely forty, proceeded again into the trenches and succeeded in establisliing a tri'uch line without mishap. The Comp.ui.v remained in reserve until the night of October 17th when it again moved into the trenches and held its old sector until the night of October 28rd. It then proceeded into reserve at Trauliarh-le- Haut. At this point Captain J. H. Rusteme.ver took command. The .S41)th Infantr.v relieved our KeginuMit in the line and on October 2()th. at 10 :(!."» P. M.. the Company marched seventeen kilometers to Chevremont. arriving there at two in the morning. The march was resumed at 8:20 P.M. on the thirtieth and the Compan.v arrived late that night at Rougegoutte, after covering thirty-two kilometers. The Compan.v remained at Rougegoutte until November 7th. when, on receipt of orders to proceed to the Tout Sector, it completed a day- light march of twelve kilometers to Belfort and entrained at 4.00 P.M. for Manoncourt. The Compan.v arrived on the morning of the eighth, detriiined and marched two kilometers to Andilly. At this time tho ]7r)th Brigade, of which our Ri-giment was a part, was detached from the Division and made the reserve of the IV.

Safford. wlio remained its commanding officer until lie was captured October 12, 1918, at Balscliwiller. Alsace. He was succeeded in command by 1st Lt. Byron K. Kingsbury, who in turn was succeeded by 1st Lt. Neil H. Swanson, Captain William T. Faricy, 1st Lt. James P. Dudley and finally Cap- tain Willis G. Chase, from the Army of Occupation. 1st Lt. James I'. Dudley and Charles P. Lynch were associated with Captain Safford in the oi'ganization of the Company, the former having served continu- ously and the latter intermittently with the unit ever since. Men from four different drafts were trained in this Company, the last of whom, constituting its permanent i>ersonnel. were transported overseas August IG. 1918. after a brief sojourn at Camp Upton, L. I., N. Y. The British transport Kashmir was employed for the purpose, being a part of the convoy which landed in Liverpool. England. August 1*8, 1918. After three days spent in an English camp near Winchester. England, a rough voyage over the English Channel was followed by a two days stop at a second British Camp at Cherbourg. France. When our stomachs had been sufficiently "rested," we proceeded in the con- ventional French troop trains to Semur, France. The little hamlet of Kuffey billeted us for a fortnight prior to our next move to the vicinity of Belfort for our final preliminary training, before taking up a front line position. We were practically a month at Brevilliers for this purpose, most of the time expended on open order work and in- struction in the use of the infantry arms. Following a never-to-be- forgotten night march we next arrived at rrraubach-Ie-Bas from which wo moved in the coui'se of a few days to the first line at Balsch- willer, Alsace, on the night of October 11, 1918. The Company was considerably depleted by sickness at this time. Fortunately, however, the French occupied this sector with us the first four days. The Company's position was immediately in front of the town of Balscliwiller, being the right Company of the Battalion sector. 1st Lt. Jamesi P. Dudley, with 2nd Lt. Raymond L. Abel, second in com- mand, was on the right of the Company front with the First Platoon. 2nd Lt. Buell McCasli, with the Second Platoon occupied the left. The combined Third and Fourth Platoons under 1st Lt. Charles P. Lynch and 2nd Lt. Walter F. Carver were in the support. These were the Comp.uiy dispositions on the night of October 12. 1918. On the last mentioned date a Cerman "Circus" consisting of artil- lery, aerial observers and specially trained infantrymen, after elabor- ate preparations, staged a raid on the town of Balscliwiller. Our po- sition was deluged with high explosives and gas shells covering the 144 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY ciiciiiy advance willi a I'dicc csIiiiiaU'd hy the I'lciicli lrren K.

It was on October 17th while we w^ere still in the front line that Lt. Fi-aid< L. S'ieli received his conmiission as Captain. When we were relieved on the line we went in support at Bueth- willer for five days. "We then went into the reserve at Traubach-le- Haut. From Traubach-le-Haut. the Battalion marched to Chevremont on the evening of October 20th, and the next evening we marched to Rougegoutte. At Rougegoutte we put in another period of intensive training^ preparatory to service on the Toul front. We left Rougegoutte on the night of November 7th and marched to Belfort about eleven kilometers and entrained for the Toul front. After an all-night's ride we arrived at Andilly about twelve kilometers north of Toul on November 8th. We had been there only a few hours when orders were given to get ready f or a long hike and for action. Extra blankets and equipment were to be left behind and we were to travel light, join the rest of the Regiment at Tliiaucourt and from there on our disposition was not given. The company was waiting with packs rolled when the order came saying that the move was postponed and soon after word came that we were not to move. It was while we were drilling on the morning of November 11th that the roll of drum fire suddenly ceased, and when we heard the church bells ringing in every nearby vilhige we knew that the Armistice was an accomplished fact. The rest of our stay in Andilly was mostly drill on a shorter schedule and salvaging and policing. On November 20th Ave hiked to Commercy and the next day to Morlaincourt which proved to be our final habitat until the move toward home. .lohn R. Knittle. 1st Lt. Honor Roll Stite-s. Virgil C. Pvt.

Alexander Pettibone 2nd. Lieut. Joseph O. Sisley 2nd. Lieut. Stanley M. Reed THE ultimate personnel of Company "I." as respects both officers and men, was much different at the time it was mustered out from that of the original organization. In the early days of September, 1917. Company "I" received its first recruits. The men were largely from Iowa. Gradually the company expanded in size as the first National Army Selective units began to arrive. Noncommissioned officers were chosen from the older men and from the very few regular army men assigned to the organization. For nine months thereafter the company, like all other organizations in the Division, passed through a very hard period — a period of receiving new men. equipping them, giving fundamental instructions in the military, and finally losing them to other camps by transfer. At one time the officers and noncommissioned officers were all that remained in the company — a fighting organization without men. To the constant work and unfaltering spirit of our noncoms during this period is largely due the credit of keeping alive that spark which later made a trained, aggressive company. In May lOlS recruits again poured into the Division in large numbers, and this time the company received the main portion of its final quota, — men from Missouri. What a crowd of men they were I Tall ones, short ones, middle .sized ones, but no fat ones. They were raw boned and hard, full of life, ready to raise the Devil at the drop of the hat, but attentive and eager to learn. Their principal charactistic was then, and remained throughout, an extreme good nature. During the summer of 1018 we worked hard, harder than we ever worked before in our lives. The incentive was there, the issue was clear, we were all in it heart and soul. ;ind naturally we got results. From a mixed crowd of civilians we made of ourselves a trained mili- tary organization. From the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois. Kansas and finally from New York, our full quota was mads up. Jesse Beers was our first Captain. Capt. Daniel Sullivan followed. €apt George Farrell took the latter's place, and Capt. Casper Scheuk relieved him. 1st. Lt. Conrad Veit and 2m\. Lt. Carl W. Halleen, two of our main stays at Camp Dodge, received promotions and were left behind in the United States with a newly organized Division. Lt. 154 THREE HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY Alhcrl .1.

Snelling. Minn. Captain George W. Walker, 1st Lt. AVilliam T. Faricy. and 2nd Lts. Roy A. Nord and Frank O. West were assigned and 2nd Lts. John D. Reeves and A. C. Brackett were attached. On the seventeenth came twenty-eight pioneers of the first draft, who did hard labor, a little close order work, and moved northward with the construction and growth of hot and dusty Camp Dodge. Then the remainder of the first draft arrived one night from Dubuque, Iowa and near neighborhood, and with the imprint of the bunk springs still upon their backs, picked up all their belongings and in true un-military fashion moved into permanent quarters at Building No. 1104. Close order drill began in earnest with frequent inspec- tions by Generals Plummer and Getty, and notes by Colonel Castle. Forty men were lost to Cajnp Cody and the remainder became a drilling outfit obtaining frequent honorable mention by higher commanders. Finally some military clothes and old Krags were received, but also came an order transferring all but nineteen of the outfit to Camp Pike, Arkansas, on November 17, 1917. The few remaining were non-coms, who did K. P.. guard duty luider men of lower grades sometimes, and while resting, did l>unk fatigue by keeping the fires burning. However, 2nd Lt. Charles R. George, who had joined the organization in early November, kept the old "K" spirit alive by issuing the " Bulletin," edited by "Hard Rock." On January 1, "K" had thirteen officers, Lts. George and Reeves having been assigned and Lts. Nord and West having been made 1st Looies. Lt. Brackett was transferred to Co. E. With February came the second draft from Iowa and northern Minnesota, and also, intensive close order drill and intensified paper work, which latter was of the essence. Order after order came down transferring men everywhere. Before all had been transferred the third draft arrived in April from North Dakota, and, after a two weeks' quarantine, with its innoculations and close order work, the transferring process went un-merrily on until the companies were left with but a few non-coms, many of the new men going directly over-seas. This draft contingent suffered a large number of casualties. May raised the hopes of men and officers by bringing the tall and rangy Missourians, but with them, more paper work, and a highly in- tensified program of close order drill. June brought about thirty more recruits from Iowa, and in July the Depot Brigade and Camp Funston. Kansas, added their quota, which, under the culling process, left the company at nearly full strength. Work on the rifle range made the organization a very strong and efficient rifle unit. Bayonet, grenade and open order drill continued at the same time, and a truly military organization, noted in the regiment for its efficient standards, was de- veloped. First Sergeant Albert G. Kenniker, in May, had succeeded the 158 THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY old ■■rcjtiilar" 1st Hgt. Adams, as the old cliaiiipioii "Ilat-eiii-out" was tiyiii.ir llu' oi-deals of an Officer's Training Camp. It was a hot and dusty 4th day of August. ItHS. that "K" bid j;(i(id-l)ye to No. 1104 and entrained for New York. With tlie men and officers in liifili spirits the journey was a pleasant initiation into the itverseas voyage. Ten days were spent amidst the sand of Camp Upton, Long Island, where tlie company was filled to full strength of two hundred and fifty men and an officer personnel of Capt. Walker. 1st Lts. Xord and Reeves, -ud I-t. George, and 1st Lt. West. who. had gone over with the advance party. Officer Candidate Cecil P. SimiiKHis received his commission after arrival in France. Equipped for overseas, "K," with the remainder of the Third Bat- talion and the 3oSth Miichine Gun Battalion, emharked at Hohoken on the ITith day of August. The good ship, H. M. S. "Kashmir" was its home for twelve days. A few cases of .sea-sickness, submarine guard, the precious life-belt, the doleful fog-horns, the seventeen other vessels of the convoy, the last sight of the Statue of Liberty, the first sight of European soil, the daily abandon ship drill, the racing schools of por- poises, a few sharks and whales, the shooting up of a mine, and the universal spirit of good fellowship were incidents of memory which made the twelve days pass quickly. The convoy, having been escorted out of New York harbor by United States hydroplanes, a battleship, a desti'oyer, and a dirigil)le, was met by a destroyer mosquito fleet of thirty English vessels, each of which added its protection as the convoy threaded and wended its way through the Irish Sea. Also the men saw one of the famous Mystery Boats of the English navy, which, in truth. Avas a dangerous fishing smack. The '"Kashmir" docked at Liverpool the morning of the twenty- seventh and "K" entrained in detachments for Winnaldowns Camp, near Winchester, England, where, after three days of bathing, and sight-seeing about Winchester, the Company entrained in detachments for Southampton. Points of interest visited in AVinchester were the Round Table of King Arthur, statue of King Alfred, the historic Win- chester Cathedral- the Roman wall, roads and hills, and estates in the neighborhood. Long-remembered will be the voyage across the channel on the little English boat "Vipers," where eighty per cent of the men ■were seasick, and where the guard and Officers of the Day (Night) were all incapacitated. Even Major Storch fought for his place at the rail. September first found "K" passing thru the famous "belly-rest" English camp at Cherboiu'g. France; but next da.v found a thankful ■outfit travelling French Pullman (40 Chevaux, 8 Homnu^s I style across France, thru Versailles, and Dijon, to Semur. in Cote D' Or. where ii Xovciiihcr (itli lii'.s;aii the niinors that "La (Jiu'rrc Fiiii."' hut orders were rocoived to move, resulting in a hike to licltdrt on the 7th and another ride in French ruUnians tliru Dijon, Toul, and Nancy, to Menil-a-Tonr. wliere fortu- nate "K" was taken in trucks to the smallest town in France, Telluric- le-Saiizey. Three Inindrc'd llinusnml AiiK-ricaii troojis were rumored tO he in the vicinity, ready for the VAi: Drive to he^in the 14th. Orders were received on the nmniiiit; of the eleventh to roll packs for action. A heavy and continuous liondiardnieiil was taking place. At eleven o'clock A. M.. this ceased abruptly and "K" learned that the armis- tice had heen sifined. On Thaidvsgivinfi eve a bis dinner and celebration was held with Co. E at Sanzey. Orders to move also arrived and the next day "K" joined the regiment in its hike to ('(mimercy. and then to the Gomlre- court area, where "K" was l)illeted at I.ongeaux. Meuse, France, which was home until the morning of May 7. lUV.l "K". with the rest of the battalion received the commendation of the Corps Commander upon its splendid mardi discipline and arrangement of packs. Not satisfied with this, "K" proceeded to clean up Longeaux, until the customary manure pile became a forgotten thing of the past, and Longeaux held the repu- tation as the cleanest town of the area. Also "K" ran off witli the regi- mental prize for the best kitchen, and prior to tliat had been called b.v the commanders of tliese units, "the model for the Division," "for the Brigade," an(l. "for the Regiment." Also Brigadier General Welch, A. E. F. Inspector, and the Corps Commander stated the kitchen was the best they had seen in the A. E. F. line forces. "K" again drew down more honors at the time of the general inspection by General Pershing, when lie directed its commander, Lt. Nord, to carry his com- pliments and congratulations direct to the Company for its "splendid pliysical record" and "fine appearance." In its entire history "K" lost but one man by deatli thru sickness. During December and .lanuary "K" participated in tlie division and regimental problems, and took some machine gun nests. Many of the men attended the various schools at Lanueveville and St. Joire. In February and March, drill, problems, and some tiring was had. April brought with it nicer climatic conditions and close order drill and fir- ing problems. Baseball, volley l»all. fishing lizards out of the moat, and visiting liign.v occupied the attention of the men. together witL various inspections, including that by the C-in-C, General Pershing. Clothing and (piarterniaster proin-rty were hard to obtain. But "K" had discovered about two thousand duck-boards, which the First Divi- sion had left, and these f\irnislied fuel. An old chateau, surrounded by a moat, nice grounds and the iisual wall had been obtained and fixed into excellent quarters for the men. Fireplaces, bunks, rifle racks, cleaning racks, shoe shining and dubbin parlors. Red Rooney as tailor with comfortalde quarters, and other luxuries of civilization were pro- THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 161 vided, until Colonel Lynch said "K"' was the most comfortably situated company in the area. The men were as satisfied as homesick men could be. Three days after the armistice "K" lost Lt. Nord to the Division Schools on D. S. as Senior Instructor of the Automatic Arms School. In the latter part of December Captain AValker went to the hospital and eventually was invalided home with gastritis in February. Shortly afterwards in the same month. Lt. Keeves was also invalided home suf- fering with a partial facial paralysis, and Lt. George went to the Third Battalion Intelligence Section. Lt. Lyncli, of Co. G was attached and in command during part of March until the return of Lt. Nord, who brought the company home with 2nd Lts. Simmons, Rackley and Hancock. Lt. Rackley had replaced Lt. Murrel, who went home with his old division in February, and Lt. Hancock came from the last olficer's training camp. On May 7, 1919 '"K" bid goodbye to Longeaux and began its move- ment toward the good old U. S. A. Such is the history of the career of '"K" Company, an outfit of high morale and good fighting spirit, who "went for what it got, and got what it went for." 1st. Lt. ROT A. NORD.

On this clay Captain Fred W. Graves was assigned to it as Commanding Officer. On September od 1st Lt. Frank L. Sieh and 2d Lt. Floyd E. Thomas were assigned to duty with the company. All three Officers were members of the 4th Company. Fir.'t Officers' Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minn., having received their commissions August 15, 1917. Officers who were later assigned to Company L w^ere, in the order of their assignment : 2d l-t. Edwin O. Hugg; 1st Lt. Fred Wells; 2d Lt. Ben Huntington; 1st Lt. Claire E. Wilson and 2d Lieutenants Albert V. Jensen and AVilbur J. Bridges. Company L. as did the other organizations at Camp Dodge, received, trained (or partially trained) and transferred to other Divisions that went across before we did several hundred men before we received our orders to move. This was very discouraging and many of us were becoming pretty well convinced that we would never get the chance to go over. We however got our move orders, and many others besides, in .Tilly, and immediately began to pack and get ready for the start. The fact is that we packed several rimes owing to changes of ordersi. On August 5, 1918, we entrained and started east. We were treated royally by the Red Cross at every place we stopped, and I wish to say here that too much credit cannot be given to this organization. We arrived at Camp Upton August 9th, and the following day 3G new men were assigned to Company Ij, bringing it up to full war strength of 250 men. On August 15th we left Camp Upton and boarded the British transport H. M. S. Kashmir of the P. & O. line ; shoved oft" from the dock and anchored in the harbor. We sailed at 1:30 P.M. August IGth. Eighteen ships were in the convoy, and we were escorted by destroyers, cruisers, sub-chasers and airplanes. The crossing was made without event, and the sea being smooth there wa." very little sea-sickness. The coast of Scotland was sighted on August 27th, and on the 2Sth we arrived in Liverpool. England. At 4 :30 P.M. we left the ship and entrained for Winchester. Arrived there early in the morning of August 29th. and marched to Winnaldown Camp about two miles out. On August 31st we entrained for Southampton, where we embarked on the S. S. Viper and crossed the Channel that night. After a rough passage on w^hich nearly every one became sea-sick we lauded in Cherl»ourg. France, on the morning of September 1st, and hiked from there four miles to Rest Camp No. 1. 164 THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY Wo li'ft this English cainit ScitlciiilKM- iM, and tlio vote was iinaiii- iiidiis that whoovor iiainod these places "Rest Camps" must have had the stdiuach in mind, as Iliat \vas llie mily tliinf; tliat fiet a rest. Went al)<)ard train at Clierhourj; and arrived at Semur Septeml)er 41 li. Hiked from there to tlie village of Flee, where we billeted. The KriMK-h met us there with flowers and pails of wine. As the wine at tliat hour was Jigain><^ regulations Major ytoreh tried to head it off and was nearly tranijiled under foot I>y the indignant Fi'ench women. The nuiyor of tlie town took the officers of the Battalion up to his office and opened .several ))ottles of biihlile water. We wei-e received Ity these people as members of their families, and there were few dry eyes when we left there September 17th. On that day we hiked fifteen miles to Les Laumes, where we entrained for Hericourt. On September ISth we detrained at Hericourt and tlie following day we hiked to Echenans, where we l)illeted and trained nntii we received our orders to go into the line. On October 5tli we received tlie order that the 350th Infantry would relieve a Regiment in the line. That evening we started and hiked twehe miles to Adeliiaiis. where we billeted until the following evening when we continued on, hiking sixteen kilometers; to St. Cosme in the Haute Alsace sector. The 3d Battalion was the Regimental reserve. Our association there with the GOth Alpine Chasseurs was both pleasant and instructive. October 15th Lt. Htuitington with the 4th platoon moved up to reinforce a company in the trendies. This platoon saw more service in the front line than any otliers of this company, remaining in the trenches 12 days-'. On October 20th half of the 1st and half of the 2a platoons under Lieutenants Thomas and Jensen moved up to the trenches and on Oct. 23d the rest of the company moved up under Captain Graves at wliicb time the company took over 1200 metres of front line trench. Jerry was .so quiet most of the time that all the men were dis- appointed. Only a verj' few who were in the IM'.s or advanced day posts ever saw or even heard a Heiuie. The 4th platoon was shelled rather heavily a couple of times but no one was hurt. Sometimes Jerry got careless too, and allowed his snipers to fire in our direction ; but he was always keeping too low to be effective. This was evidence of wisdom on his part too, for had our Missouri squirrel shooters caught sight of liim there is no doubt but tliat lie would have been punctured. One night tilings were ^o (|uiet that I'rivate SiKn-ry Raster, for variety, was seen nonchalantly cracking nuts witli a hand grenade. Private Henry Hauswirth's hunting instinct proved too strong for resistence when he spied a plane bearing a black cross on its wings and flying pretty low. Leading the bird by a proper distance, as all good hunters do, he cut loose with a Imrst from hi> good old Browning automatic THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 165 rifle. The game did not fall, but lie did turn around and come straight back at Henry, with his machine gun spitting fire and bullets. Some of Jerry's bullets came luicomfortably close and while there was no way of telling where Henry's went lie claims the decision, because Jerry flew awa.v. Company L was relieved by Company M. 350tli Infantry, on October -Ctth. and moved back in support of that comp-iny. On October 29th th:' Battalion was relieved, and hiked two nights to get to Giromagny, where we billeted and rested. We hiked to Belfort and entrained there the morning of September Stli for the Toul Sector, ^ye went into Barracks in the Bois de Lagney September !»th. There we were detached from the 8Sth division and at- tached to the 4tli Corps as a part of the Corps reserve, and received prep:iratory orders to move into the fight we could hear in front of u.'^. Officers and men stood by with light packs and reserve rations, awaiting orders to move forward. That order never came, for the Armistice was signed the lltli. We marched to Commercy September 2!)tli. after salvaging and poli- cing beaucoup square miles of territory. The following day we hiked to (Jivrauval. where we lingered for five long months. The greater part of the enlisted personnel of Company L were natives of Iowa and Missouri : and while all were not from Missouri they are still waiting to be shown that there was a better company in the A. E. F. The non-commissioned officer>< were well worthy of being called the back-bone of the company. Better privates never cnssed the iness sergeant, and top-cutter Stephen Mitchell handled all situations admirabl.v. The high morale of the men was largely due to mess sergeant Calvin Smith. All members of the company are proud of the fact that eleven enlisted men were commissioned, that not a man fell out on a hike, and that they were members of Company L. o.'joth Infantry. Fred W.

Lit\' preservers became an intlisiteiisalile part of each man's etpiipment and abnndiin shi]) drills weri' fi'e(|uently held. The trip was uneventful. The blowing of the ship's siren in the fogs and the firing of one of tlie guns at a porpoise was the only excitenuMit. English fix <1 and quarters didn't compare favorably with ("amp Dodge day.>. but no one grundded. Two days out of Liverpool, we were nu't by P.ritish destroyers: mighty welcome additions to our fleet. At 8:00 P.M.. August 2Sth. we debarked at Liverpool and hiked three miles to Camp Winnaldown. just outside of Winchester. It was a tough hike after being cramped up aboard ship for twelve days. The entire company visited Winchester Cathedral and other points of interest. Stayed near Winchester for two days and then proceeded to Southampton. We spent one night moving baggage. At . The 350th was assigned to the Center Sector. Haute Alsace, and oui- P.attalion was in reserve at St. Cosme. There we saw wire entanglements, trendies, Boche aeroplanes and heard real bombardments. On Octolier 23rd we moved up to Buethwiller to relieve the 2nd Battalion in the line. Companies ''K" and "L" went in the line first witli "I" and "M" support. Tiu-ee days later Company "M" relieved "L" and we got some real trench life, which included mud, dugouts, rats, tri'uch meals, gas alarms and no sleep. The entire company acted like old vet>. While we were .shelled by THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 169 artillery and shot at by aeroplanes, machine guns, etc: most of the men craved more excitement. No one was killed or wounded, and wlien we Avere relieved on the night of October 20tli by Company "G", 349tli Infantry, tlie entire company marched otit of the line in better shape and twice as cocky as when we went in. Company "M"' made good the first time in the trenches and were proud of it. That night we hiked twenty-two kilometers to Pfaffans, rested a day. then made another twenty kilometer hike to Giromagny. Giro- magny was a good town but we left for Belfort on the night of Novem- ber 7th. A short train ride and another inevitable hike landed us in the Bois de Lagney. On November Sth and Dth. everyrhing in tlie line of equipment was turned in except arms and such clothing as was actually needed. We Avere stripped for action and standing by at all times waiting for orders to move northward and get into the big push planned for that sector. On the night of November 10th we were under orders to move out. but the orders were changed at the last minute and we remained in rhe woods. On Noveml)er 11th we heard of the Armistice. It was hard to believe that the war was over, but we believed it enough to get the band out and have a celebration. November oOth saw us leaving Bois de Lagney for the Gondrecourt training area. One night was spent in Commercy and at the end of the .second day's hike we landed in Givrauval. On this march, Company M was especially mentioned by the Commander of the 2nd Army, as having the best arrangement of packs and equipment and the best march discipline. We were comfortable in Givrauval. The billets were good, the mess fine, and the drill .schedule fair enough. It was a poor day that didn't bring a new rumor about getting home. Captain Burns commanded Company M from its organization until the last week of September. 191S. Lts. Boyce and Dawson were trans- ferred, leaving Lts. Wilson, Schlosser and McDermott, the only re- maining officers who came clear through with Company M. Captain Burns l;ecame Major Burns and commanded the 3rd Battalion. Lt. Boyce went to the o.jlst Infantry and Lt, Dawson to Headquarters Company, 350th Infantry. Major Burns was succeeded in command of Company M by Captain West. Lts. Canfil.

The following; inipertant explanations are neeessary : The Officer nuuihered 7*2. in the Officers* jyoup photograph on page 71. wliose mime was omitted through error, is 2d Lieutenant George J. Helbing, of DuIukiuc. Iowa. The Officers numl)ered 35 and ni. in the same group picture. It has been foiuid impossible to identify from the photograph up to the time of going to press. Key rosters to accompany the photographs of those companies who had tlieir panoramics made at Newport News were not supplied for publication in the history. The immediate disintegration of the regi- ment after these pictures were taken forestalled the possibility of having these i-osters prepared. The photograph of Colonel Charles B. Stone, Jr., his personal mili- tary history, and his letter to the members of the 350th were not re- ceived, owing to his late retiu-n from France, until after the first forms- of the book had been printed. Consequently it was impossible to insert them in the history according to the sequence they properly should take with regard to the date of his service with the regiment. Group photographs which were taken at Newport News of the 1st and 2d Battalion Intelligence Platoons, and of those members of the 350th who had received decorations, proved to be failures ; which ex- plains their regrettable omission from these pages. Through an error in checking proof a paragraph on page 45, which recorded the promotion of Colonel Harrison J. Price to the rank of Brig- adier General, his subsequent transfer to the 77th Division on October 24th, 191S, and the as.signment of Colonel Charles B. Stone, Jr., to the- command of the 3oOth as his successor, was omitted from the text. Thi& unfortunate mistake was not discovered until after that particular sec- tion of the liook had been printed. The rost(M' of the Regiment by ((impanies. which gives the name, rank, and liome .addresses of Ilie men of the 3.~)0th who served in France, has been printed from the rosters furnished by the company commanders to Regimental Headquarters in May. 1010. shortly before the regiment sailed for Ixmie. (ireat care has been taken in checking and re-checking these rosters, as here published, to insure their exact. duplication of the original company rccoi-ds. P. M. F. ^tetter from iWa^ (Cliades % #taui% Jj^'- to tlic JFormcr Jllcmbcrs of tlic 3»^ntli Jfnfantry .AlEN : Let us all remem])er that we have served our Country in the greatest crisis which it has ever been called upon to face, and have represented the United States on the battlefields of Europe in the greatest war in history ; that while possibly we did not win that war ourselves, we contributed our very best to winning it and performed the part allotted to us in a soldierly manner. For a year and a half we were closely knit together to form the 350th Infantr}-, of whose record we may all feel proud. Let us never forget the long days in the training camps while we impatiently awaited the order sending us over seas, the horrors of the trenches in Alsace, the mud and the cold of the Menil la Tour sector and the w'eary waiting to come back to our own country. We did our best and did it well.

Cooper. previou.sly experienced in canteens, opened for business the ;^;jOth Regimental Exchange. Between that date and Nov(>mber 25, 1017, the Exchange had a wandering career. Sometimes situated in the kitchen of a vacant barracks, some- time^ in a spare and partiall.v completed officers' quarters )>uilding. and s(mietimes in an odd corner of a barracks room, it was a movable feast. On November 17, 1!J17. Lt. C'ooper was relieved and 2d I^t. Warren S. Jamar. of wholesale dry-goods experience, took over the Exchange. The new Exchange Building being practically completed, the Exchange moved into its permanent home Noveml)er 25th and opened up for business November 2(jtli. On January 5th the Exchange expanded. A warehouse building was remodeled, a tailor shop moved in. and an eleven chair barber shop opened up. About $15,000.00 was derived by the regiment from the Exchange in its nine months' life, thi.'' sum repi'esenting about 12 per cent of the gross sales, it being the policy of the Exchange to turn a fair stock often at low profit. The l)est month showed about .$21,000.00 in gross sales on an inventory of $4,000.00. WARREN S. JAMAR, 1st Lt.

This is a steel ship, divided into several compartments, which are separated from each othei- by steel bulkheads. Therefore, if the fire does not occur in vour own compartment, you will the instant the water-tight doors are clo.sed (and there are two men standing guard at each door all the time), be cut off from the fire by one or more steel bulkheads.

Captain and Adjutant. HEADQUARTERS 350th INFANTRY A. P. O. No. 795, American E. P. 13 November, 1918. MEMORANDUM: To Bn. and Co. Comdrs. and Bn. Gas Officers. Last night's bombardment in the vicinity of Balschwiller emphasized matters pertaining to wearing of masks and to gas defense that should be of utmost consideration to organization commanders before another attack. 1. In spite of orders to the contrary several men removed their masks befoi'e ordered to do so by a commissioned officer. When questioned they said "The Frenchmen took theirs off, so they knew there was no gas." This was a flagrant example of poor discipline and invariably will get worse unless severe disciplinary action is taken in such cases. 2. One man asked a gas officer to loan him some antidim as he had none in his satchel. When questioned, it developed that he had not made daily inspection of his mask and when he did inspect it, that he had done so carelessly. There is a plentiful supply of antidim solution at Regtl. Hq. and same should be applied once each week or after each attack. Antidim solution is effective only if a thin film is left over the glass. Do not rub it off. The time to put antidim on the eye pieces is before an attack — it cannot be done during an attack. 3. Several men were complaining that the nose piece was slipping off and wanted to know if there was any way of bending the spring so it would grip tighter. These men had not been required to wear their mask a weekly total of 4 hours or they would have found and adjusted the weak spring on the nose piece. Some of them admitted they had not worn their masks since coming to the front. One man was found to have tobacco and cigarette papers in his haversack, either one of which might easily have stopped the air passage at the bottom of the canister. 4. It was quite generally practiced upon removing masks to allow same to dangle in front of the body. This is not advisable as the face piece may easily get torn In the dark and the time saved in adjustment does not warrant the risk. Face piece should be replaced in haversack at once. 5. It is obvious that care should be taken that the masks of wounded men are kept with them. They should be fastened or tied to the man if possible. 6. The attack was high explosive, and the manner in which men repeatedly adjusted respirators upon each renewal of the bombardment was commendable. Other parts of the line had a combined high explosive and gas attack. It is quite probable that our next attack will come in this confusing manner and men should be warned. 7. Comjiany Commanders are to see that the Gas N. C. O. comes in contact with every man in the organization each day. He should go from group to group, if the company be separated, seeing that masks are properly inspected, that they are worn the required lune each day, and giving information and answering questions, etc. He should be respons ble for all matters regarding gas in the company and report results of his work each day to his company commander. Some Co. Gas N. C. '.» s arc commanding platoons and are required to do other work intei-fering with gas duties. This is not in compliance with General Orders No. 79 which specifically states the "Co. Gas N. C. O's will be rc;lie\ftd of all duties which interfere with their duties as gas officers." Companies w'lo are not adhering to this order can expect to i>ay the penalty in lax g.xs dis- cipline and casualties. 8. Company Gas N. C. O's will be excused from all other duties in their respective companies and will devote their entire time to the instruc- tion and inspection work required of them in orders relating to gas discipline.

The following General Order of Xovember 12th is telegraphed for your information. Corps and Divisions have been notified. "The enemy has capitulated. It is fitting that I address myself in thanks directlv" to the officers and soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces, who bv their heroic efforts have made possible this glorious result. Our Armies, hurriedly raised and hastily trained, met a veteran enemy, and by courage, discii)line and skill always defeated him. Without complaint you have endured incessant toil, privation and danger. You have seen many of your comrades make the sui)reme sacrifice that freedom may live." I thank you for the patience and courage with which you have endured. I congratulate you upon the splendid fruits of victory which your heroism and the blood of our gallant dead are now presenting to our nation. Your deeds will live forever on the most glorious pages of American history. Those things you have done. There remains now a harder task which will test your soldierly qualities to the utmost. Succeed in this and little note will be taken and few praises sung; fail, and the light of your glorious achievements of the past will sadly be dimmed. But yoii will not fail. Every natural tendency may urge towards relaxation in discipline, in conduct, in appeai-ance. in everything that mai-ks the soldier. Yet you will remember that each officer and each soldier i.s the representative in Europe of his peojjle and that his brilliant deeds of yesterday jjermit no action of today to pass unnoticed by friend or foe. You will meet this test as gallantly as you have met the tests of the battlefield. Sustained by your high ideals and inspired by the heroic jjart you have played, you will carry back to our ])eople the proud consciousness of a nev,* Americanism liorn of sacrifice. \Vhether you stand on hostile territory or on the friendly soil of France, you will so bear yourself in discipline, appearance and resi)ect for all civil rights that you will confirm for all time the pride and love which every American feels for your unifoim and for you."

FROM: Commanding General, 175th Infantry Brigade. TO: Commanding Officer, 350th Infantry. Subject: In.spection. 1. I de.sire to express to the organization commanders of the brigades my appreciation of the excellent showing presented by the Brigades at the inspection by the Division Commander February 12th and 13th. In general, there was little to criticize and much to praise. Considering the circumstances under which the command is placed, the condition of clothing and equipment was in all cases satisfactory; in the great majority, excellent. The condition of the animals and transportation gives evidence of much work and painstaking effort. Those responsible for this effort deserve the highest commendation. Everything about the inspection was in accord with the high standards of efficiency alwavs evidenced by the Brigade in all of its work. M. B. STEWART, Brigadier Genei-al, U. S. A.

The Commanding Officer wishes to express to the officers and men of this Command his keen appreciation of the enthusiastic interest dis- played which resulted in so fine a showing and called forth such favorable comments by higher commanders. It is the opinion of the Division Commander and his staff that they had not seen any other review in the A. E. F. which was better and rarely one so good. The Commanding Officer confidently believes that with continued interest and effort on the part of each member of the command this regiment in a short time can be made the finest organization in the A. E. F. Bv order of Lieut. Col. RAY: NEIL M. CRONIN, Captain and Adjutant. HEADQUARTERS, 88th DIVISION American Expeditionary Forces France, 13th May, 1919. GENERAL ORDERS No. 26. I. The unexpected hastening home of the Division renders an assembly of the entire Command before embarkation practically im- possible; likewise, the assembly of the Division in the United States as a body, pi'ior to demobilization, is problematical — hence, commendation and farewell in written form becomes necessary, rather than a personal greeting which would have been preferred. II. It was with great pride and gratification that the Division Com- mander published the praise accorded the Division by the Commander- in-Chief on the occasion of his inspection and review on April 19. 1919, in which the Commander-in-Chief states that "THE APPEARANCE AND BE.ARIXG OF ALL RANKS WAS CLEAR KVIDEXCE OF THE HIGH :M()RALE that permeates your command" and that "EACH INDIVIDCAL IX YOL'R COMMAND MAY RIOTi'RN HOME, SATISFIED that he has done his full duty and proud that HE HAS HAD THE OPPOIITCNITY OF BEING A MEMBER OF ONE OF OUR FIGHTING ORGANIZATIONS" and expressing his thanks to "the officers and men of the 88th Division for their willing and efficient service since they became a part of the American Expeditionary Forces." To this may be added, the unstinted praise for the fine appearance, morale and record of the 88th Division, as expressed to the Division Com- mander by the Honorable Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, who favored us with his presence on this occasion and addressed the Command. 184 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY III. The Oorjis Commandor has liUowiso pivon the Division his praise, in the fnllowiiiK words: •Till'; IIKIII I )ISCII'T.IXIO A.\l> SOL- DIEUI.,Y B10AUI.\<; OF THI': ItlVISKiX I'lO.MoXSTliATIO A HKIH STATK OP MOUAI.K AND I Ii-;FI.i:< "I' ClUODIT ll'oX '|'H|<: i:i.I-:.MKXTS OF COMMAND AND MOADKItSHIl' IN AI.I> CliAItKS. KVKliV DIOMAXD MADE rrON THE DIVISlo.N HAS BEEN MET BY THE MOST CHEER- FUL RESPONSE AND THE MOST I.OYAE COM I'l.l ANCE." IV. To all the above the Division Commander desires to express at this time his sincere appreciation of the willing. elHcient, and loyal support given him by every otlicer and every man of the Command at all times; meeting every emergency in training, and in the field, with that same spirit of friendly rivalry in each individual and organization such as to inculcate proper pride and esi)rit de corps. As you return to your civil pursuits, on the farm, in the counting liouse. or in other occupation, your military training will ever remain not only a national asset, but an individual one in your i-espect and sub- ordination toward employers and also in a just control and direction of subordinates. The Division Commander regrets the severance of the most agreeable relations owing to the termination of your military careers; and desires to thank everv officer and man for the constant loyal suijport given him.
