Dedication In my official reports and comments and in general orders quoted in the followinij pages I have in a way indicated my most inward thoughts as to the quality of the personnel of the 32nd Division and as to the value of their achievements in the great hattles of the World War. Since the deeds recorded in this history resulted from the combined efforts of every member of the Division, may not all those of us who are still living dedicate tliis brief and unboasiing record of events to OUR HERO DEAD. Major General, U. S. Army. Introduction jo many a student of the history of oin- ei\"il war has come the helief that Abraham Lineohi was horn into this world Div^inely destined to preserve the Union. To many a stndent who ponders over the history of tlie Red Arrow Division in the World War may come liie helief that the union of Michigan and AVisconsin in that now famous command was an inspiration. Certain it is that no happier combination of state soldiery was to be found overseas; certain it is that even when its battle casualties had rendered necessary heavy replacements, hailing from a do/en other commonwealths, jMichigan and Wisconsin ever predominated — ever gave the tone to the entire array. Almost forgotten in 1917, that combination had been strong and significant nearly three generations ago. Badger and Wolverine, the grandfathers of many a soldier of the 82nd Ui^'ision fought side by side in the civil Avar. Weil rcmeml)ercd now , one of the four inlantry regiments of the lied iVrrow Di\ ision was led for a time by the son of the leader of one oi' the lixc inranlry regiments of the Ii'on brigade. Wolverines both, they wei-e l)()tli eoiiiriuks in l)attle with the nun of Wisconsin. As was said in an address at the first reunion: "Over sixty years ago the soldier eomi-adeship of Michigan and \\'isconsin had its birth. Sixty-one years ago it was at its old-time liighest point, when Detroit and Milwaukee cemented THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD ]VAR their frieiulsliip, wlicii llic finest luilitary ()r<>ani/ations in the West, the Detroit and tiic INIihvaiikce IJ^ht (iiiard, uniformed ahiiost exactly ahke, in the dark hiue, swanow-taiied coats turned up with huif, the towering bearskin shakos and hroad white cross belts, paraded alternately in the two cities, visited each other at intervals, exchanged caps, souvenirs and stirring sentiment at every bancpiet. Each had been captained and drilled by veteran soldiers. West Point had done its share; each had been assigned as the first company of the first regiment of its commonwealth, and, possibly foreseeing how soon it might be put to the test, each had vowed its knightly fealty to the Union of States, and asked only that when the time should be ripe. Badger and Wolverine, they might go into action together. "Two years later the summons came. Two years later, in INIay, 'Gl, the first captains of those foremost companies ap- peared on President Lincoln's first list of some thirty brigadier generals of volunteers. The first regiments marched away to the Potomac with the very first draft under the call for 75,000, and the First Michigan, in front of AVashington, under Mc- Dowell, the First \\'isconsin near Harper's Ferry, under Pat- terson, had their baptism of fire in July; reorganized for the war in August; furnished one or two more generals aj)iecc and a score of field officers between them, but then were separated. "In the Army of the Potomac, however, there was from the first to the last of the great civil \\ nr jusl one brigade of infantry made up exclusively of western troops. In the fierce h.ittle summer of '02 it won the title of The Iron Brigade. Its prized insignia has five branches, yet its membership in August, '02, had but four regiments, the Second, Sixth, Seventh Wisconsin and the Nineteenth Indiana. But so reduced were they in nuin- bers by the casualties of (iainesville, Ciroveton, Second Bull Run and Antietam that a fresh regiment was sent to join them — the Twenty-fourth Michigan. 'Big as the whole brigade,' said the Badgers, when, under gallant old Morrow, it came striding into camj), and big as the whole brigade's were the feari'ul casnallies of the Twenty-fourlli in their first pitched INTRODUCTION battle — Gettysburg. Here on this eross are inscribed the names of that martial quintette, unchanged so long as that bloody war should last. Here again Michigan had stood in soldierly rivalry with Wisconsin, and when the final muster out was ordered here again IMichigan and Wisconsin struck hands and prayed that should ever in the future the honor of the nation be imperiled Michigan and Wisconsin should again stand shoidder to shoulder in the same brigade, and further cement, with their blood if need be, the compact of the old Guardsmen of '59 and '60. "And so it came — so it wna ordered by the powers at Wash- ington, as though ordained of the God of IJattles himself, IMich- igan and Wisconsin were destined in the most destructive, stui^endous war the world has ever known, out of a combina- tion of 48 states and heaven only knows how many possibilities, to be linked, not as had been their fathers, in a single brigade of some 5,000 men, but in a huge division, built upon modern lines to a strength of 27,000, almost every man of whom at the outset hailed from those sister states of the now Middle West." Born of such a union, it was to be expected that the fruit would be of surpassing merit. Proud as were oin* people of their Guardsmen thus called into the national service, confident as we were that om- sons would do their uttermost to uphold the honor of the Flag and the standards of their respective states, even we, who thought we best knew them, could not iiave predicted the triumphant award that awaited them. Among our citizens before the call there had long been a large element opposed to any expenditure for military purposes, any semblance of military service, any symptom of that which they termed militarism, but which was in fact a patriotic endeavor to prepare at least a certain few of our young men for the national defense should ever the national honor or safety be threatened. Even the press for many a year, and in too many an instance, threw its influence against the annual encampment for training purposes. It came, therefore, as THE THIRTY- t' themselves for scrviee in war. It <>radually dawned upon many elo(|uent and influential men and persuasive women, — not because of anylhini;. Imt in spite of exerythinj^', they had said and done, — ^lichi^an and Wisconsin, under eompetenl instiuetion. had been earnestly strivini^- to jjcrfeet their few (iuardsmen as soldiers. It eventually aroused in the minds of the really conscientious citi/.ens of this class a reali/.alion of the error of llK'ir original ways, and an earnest desire on part of some of their best and worthiest to atone for the past neglect or active opposition, by even more earnest interest and support. Still, they were not quite prepared to hear of the young men who flocked to the ranks of the 32nd Division that they should so early in their career be declared foremost in training and discipline; but wIkii, later still, they listened to the citations and reports as to what the Red Arrow had done in Alsace, and in the ]Marne and Aisne and Oise offensives, and finally in the Argonne, the scales fell from their eyes, and, joining with tlie kith and kin. the friends and neigh- bors of their soldiers overseas, there went up a chorus of pride and rejoicing such as these sister states had never heard before. And now it seems they are seeking something beyond the brief oflieial rejiorls and the individual missives, sti-ietly censored, of the sons, husbands or brothers in the ranks. It was for them, the mass of our people — the plain people of whom Lincoln .said "the Lord must deeply love them since he made so many," that the '.V1\m.\ decided to ])repare its history — a story one and all could read and understand. It was to aid in placing before the people the narrative of the service and sacrifices of all their sons that the War History Commission was established, and our people will little know the diniculties which beset that same Commission. First to be published comes this modest recital of the campaigns of the 32nd Division, soon to be followed by the oflieial rejiort, aeeom- 10 INTRODUCTION panied by excellent niai).s, of that able soldier who .so .skillfully trained and then so admirably led our chosen through the terrific canijiaign.s which proved the climax of the \\^)rl(l War. A.s the pages of both the.se military narrati\'es were studied by the members of the Wiscon- sin Commi.ssion (for not until five months later were their associates of Michigan designated and sent to take part), the utter suppression of individual exploit, the sinking of battalion or battery claims for recognition in favor of a simple recital of the deeds of the Division as a whole, became the subject of no little discussion. The people who were behind that Division and whose money paid for the preparation of its history were eager for something more. The personal element, the soldier story of comrades' daring or heroic deaths had i)een given no place in these pages. These were things their fathers and mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts would long and exj^ect to see, and with one accord the chairman of the Commission was instructed to en- deavor to draw them out. AVith this in view he wrote to a score of prominent officers, begging that the lid might be lifted — that the seal to their soldierly silence might be broken, but it was in vain — the 32nd woidd not talk or write of its manifold deeds. "They could fight like all hell," said one of their nnnd)er, "if need be, but they somehow couldn't be got to brag about it." iVnd so at last the work had to go to press without what one of their I'oreinost staff olficers termed the touch of lumian interest, and so it is launched upon its untrumi)ete(i way to perhaps ten thousand firesides in the two states. This at least the 32iid w ill say: It A\as a united Itousehold, a mili- tary family that knew neither en\y nor malice in respect to otiiei- cf)nHnan(ls. It had l)rotherly regard for all, but sought favor of none. It "minded its own business," said one of its best, and if it had internal differences it kept them there: No one else need know them. More- over, said he, it was a happy family. It was a highly favored and fortunate division in spite of certain (^aders of Thirty-Second Division 147 Chapter XIV. Cited in Orders 155 Chapter XV.

Arrived in the United States and demobilized in May. 26 CHAPTER I. Birth of the Thirty-Second Division. HE 32nd Division was organized under War Deiiartnient orders of July 18th, 1917, from National Guard troops from Wisconsin and Micliio:an. Details of this organization are given in 0. O. No. 101, War Department, 1917. Wisconsin furnished approximately 15,000 and Michigan s.OOO troops of all arms. Later 4,000 National Army troops I'lom Wisconsin and Michigan were transferred to the Division shortly before it left for France. When war was declared on Germany, April Uth, 1917, there were two National Guard infantry regiments, one from each of these states, in the Federal Service ; the 33rd Michigan, which had never been mustered out since its services on the Border, and the 3rd Wisconsin which had been called out for guard duty on war plants. In .Tuly the remainder of the state troops were mobilized at the state camps, and early in August the movement of the troops to the Division's train- ing camp at Camp MacArthur, Texas, commenced. The units thus assendjled at Camp MacArthur included all the troops from ilichigan and Wisconsin which had been on the Border in 1916. Six of the nine infantry regiments and most of the cavalry, artillery, engineers, and auxiliary troo])s had this Border experience. There were, however, in the new Wi.'-consin regiments, a large number of recruits who enlisted after the Declaration of War. On August 4th, 1917, Battery F, 121st Field Artillery regiment, was the first unit of the new division to arrive at Camp MacArthur. From that time until late in Sep- tember troops continued to pour in as rapidly as railroad facilities could be provided to transport them from the north. Training commenced immediately upon the arrival of the first units at Camp MacArthur, and proceeded under the direction of the Division Commander and the National Guard brigade commanders. Under instructions from the War Di']iartnient, the Division was reorganized in accordance with the "Tables of Organi-zation, 1917." on September 22, 1917. Gen- erally speaking, the 63rd Infantry Brigade was formed of Michigan infantry and the 64th Infantry Brigade was organized entirely from Wisconsin infantry. The 31st, 33nd and 33rd Michigan regiments, and, later on, the National Army recruits from Camp Custer and Camp Grant, went to form the 125th and 126th Kegiments of Infantry and the 120th Machine Gun Battalion. The 1st, 3nd and 3rd Wisconsin Infantry Regiments formed the bulk of the troops of the 127th and 128th Infantry Regiments and the 131st Machine Gun Bat- talion of the 64th Infantry Brigade. These two regiments were brought up to war strength by transferring enough troops to them from the 4th, 5th, and 6th Wisconsin Infantry regiments. These latter three regiments were in the 3nd Wisconsin Brigade, 27 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD WAR whicli was designated to function as the 57th Depot Brigade. From this brigade tlie various new units of the new Division were organized in accordance with the "Tables of Organization, 1917." The 57th Field Artillery Brigade included the Wisconsin and Michigan field artillery and cavalry and men from the 57th Depot Brigade. The 107th Engineer Eegiment was organized from the Wisconsin and Michigan Engineer Battalion and men transferred from the 57th Depot Brigade. Whole companies were transferred from the Depot Brigade to make up the 107th Trains and Military Police and the 119th Machine Gun Battalion. The 107th Sanitary Train included the Wisconsin and Michigan Field Hospital and Ambulance Companies. The Na- tional Guard organizations which lost their identities to form these new units of the 33nd Division follow: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and Gth Wisconsin Infantry Eegiments. 31st, 32nd and 33rd Michigan Infantry Eegiments. 1st Wisconsin and 1st Michigan Field Artillery. 1st Wisconsin and 1st Michigan Cavalry. 1st Battalion Wisconsin Engineers and 1st Battalion Michigan Engineers. 1st Michigan Field Signal Battalion, and 1st Wisconsin Field Signal Battalion. Wisconsin Ambulance Companies Nos. 1 and 2. Wisconsin Field Hospitals Nos. 1 and 2. Michigan Ambulance Company No. 2. Michigan Field Hospital No. 1. Major General James Parker, IT. S. A., assumed command of the Division on August 26th, 1917, in accordance with War Department orders. On September 18th, 1917, he left for France on special duty with his Chief of Staff, Lieut. Col. E. H. DeArmond. They did not return until early in December, 1917, and General Parker was almost immediately transferred to the S5th Division at Camp Custer, Michigan. GENEEAL IIAAN ASSUMES COMMAND. Upon General Parker's departure for France, Brigadier General Wni. G. Haan, U. S. A., succeeded to the command of the Division, being senior brigadier general by virtue of his Regular Army commission. The reorganization of the Division was effected a few days after he became the Division Commander. Brigadier General Louis C. Covell, formerly the brigadier general commanding the Michigan National Guard troops, was assigned to the com- mand of the G3rd Infantry Brigade, and Brigadier General Charles E. Boardman, the senior Wisconsin brigadier general, who commanded the 1st Wisconsin Brigade, was assigned to the command of the fi4th Infantry Brigade. Brigadier General E. A. Eichards of the 2nd Wisconsin Brigade, who coninumded the 57th Depot Brigade until his troops were all disposed of, was ordered to Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, South Carolina. The 125th Infantry, Colonel John B. Boucher commanding, included all of the 33rd Michigan Infantry with the exception of one company, and five companies of the 31st Michigan Infantry. The 12Gth Infantry, Colonel Joseph P. Wostnedge commanding, was formed from the entire 32nd Michigan Infantry and five companies of the 31st Michigan In- fantry. The 120th Machine Gun Battalion was formed from surplus companies of the Michigan Infantry P.rigade and Major David E. Cleary, formerly in command of the 3rd Battalion, 31st Michigan Infantry, was assigned to the command. 28 BIRTH OF THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION The 127th Infantry was organized with Colonel Wilbur N. Lee, formerly of the 2ud Wisconsin Infantry, in command. Colonel John Turner, formerly in command of the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry, was assigned to the command of the 128th Infantry. Major Frank H. Fowler, formerly in command of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Wiscon- sin Infantry, was assigned to the command of the 121st Machine Gun Battalion. Major Percy C. Atkinson, formerly battalion commander of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry, was assigned to the command of the 119th Machine Gun Battalion. Major William Mitchell Lewis, of the 1st Wisconsin Signal Battalion, was as- signed to the command of the 107th Field Signal Battalion. Colonel P. S. Bond, U. S. A., was assigned to the command of the 107th En- gineers. Colonel Robert B. McCoy, formerly in command of the 4th Wisconsin Infantry, was assigned to the command of the 107th Ti-ains and Military Police. Brigadier General Wm. G. Haan, while acting as Division Commander, was also in command of the 57th Field Artillery Brigade. The 119th Field Artillery, composed largely of Michigan artillery and cavalry troops, was commanded by Major Chester B. McCormick, later promoted to the rank of Colonel. The 120th Field Artillery was made up almost entirely from troops of the 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, and the commanding officer of the latter organization, Colonel Carl Penner, continued in command. The 1st Wisconsin Field Artillery regiment became the 121st Field Artillery, the heavy artillery regiment of the 57th Field Artillery Brigade. The Commanding Officer of the Wisconsin Artillery, Colonel Philip C. Westfahl, became Commander of the new regiment. The organization of the Division Staff was completed in September, 1917. Upon the departure of Lieut. Col. DeArmond for France, Major Geo. M. Russell, F. A. N. A., who reported at Camp MacArthur on September 14th as Division Inspector, became acting Chief of Staff. Major John H. Howard, Inf. N". A., reported on AVar Department orders as Division Adjutant. Lieut. Col. Iljalmer Erickson, Q. M. C. N. A., the Division Quartermaster, was the first member of the staff to report, arriv- ing at Camp MacArthur on August 22, 1917. Lieut. Col. P. L. Boyer, M. C. N. A., the Division Surgeon, arrived a few days later. Lieut. Col. Gilbert E. Seaman, M. C. Wis. N. G., reported at the same time as Division Sanitary Inspector. The Judge Advocate was Major Samuel D. Pepper, J. A. Mich. N. G. Major Herbert L. Evans, S. C. N. A., was the Division Signal Officer, and Major J. P. Smith, F. A. N. A., the Division Ordnance Officer. Later Major John G. Salsman, Wis. N. G., reported as Assistant Division Adjutant. Major Chas. R. Williams, Q. M. C. Wis. N. G., re- ported for duty as Assistant Division Quartermaster. Major ]\Iathew Hansen, Q. M. C. Mich. N. G., who was one of the first officers to arrive at Camp MacArthur, and who, as Constructing Quartermaster, was largely responsible for the speed with which the camp was completed, also became Assistant Division Quarten'uaster upon the completion of his duties as Constructing Quartermaster. To the various stafl' departments were assigned for temporary duty a number of officers who assisted in the administrative work connected with the organization and training of the Division. In addition, there was a camp staff, which labored through- out the organization and training period to complete the equipment of the Division. In the reorganization of the Division it was the policy to preserve original com- pany organizations, but some consolidation was necessary to bring the companies up 29 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD WAR rroui (lie formerly prescribed strength of 150 men to the new tables of organization ^(rungth of 250 men. It was also necessary to change the commands of a number of line officers, but this was all accomplished with a minimum of friction, and the new organization started its training period with excellent spirit. A number of officers became surplus in the Division because of the reorganization, and were assigned special duties in the various regiments and separate organizations and in the divisional schools. Early in Se]>teml)L'r, 1917, a large number of the Reserve Corps Officers from Camp Eoots reported to the Division for further instruction, and they were dis- tributed among the various units. A number of these Reserve Corps Officers later accepted National Guard commissions and were recommended by organization com- nuinders for permanent assignment to duty. Others took advantage of an oppor- tunity to be transferred to organizations from their several home states in other camps, and those remaining who were surplus in the Division just before it left for France were assigned to Camp Dodge, Iowa. FIGHT FOR EQUIPMENT. The various National Guard units which were sent south for the new Division arrived fairly well equipped for campaign service similar to that on the Border in 1916, but with very little of the equipment prescribed for overseas. The necessity of securing, at the earliest possilile moment, the equipment necessary for duty abroad was immediately apparent to the Division Commander and his Staff, and their ener- gies from the first were bent upon so equipping the Division. Upon the completion of the reorganization, training, of course, took precedence, but there never was a let-up in the efforts to secure the equipment for service as a combat unit in France. In this work the Camp Quartermaster, Major Edward H. Andreas, co-operated with the Division Commander and the Division Quartermaster to an important extent, and to him a measure of the credit is due for what was achieved in the next three months in getting the Division ready to sail. TRAINING PROGRAM STARTED. At the time the reorganization of the Division was completed troops were training in accordance with War Department instructions contained in a pamphlet entitled "Infantry Training," prescribing a course of sixteen weeks' training for all elements of the Division. The first four weeks' program was completed shortly after the re- organization had been effected, and when the second four weeks' period was taken up the Division was organized on a permanent basis and the schedules throughout the various units were uniform. An infantry school of arms was established, and various officers and non-commissioned officers were assigned for training in infantry special- ties. Upon the completion of their course they became instructors, and returned to their organizations to instruct companies, platoons and squads in the use of new infantry weapons. Tliis school was commanded first by Colonel Marshall Cousins, of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry, and later by Colonel Peter Piasecki, formerly of the 5th Wisconsin Infantry. To this school Captain Allen L. Briggs, A. D. C. to General Parker, devoted all his time. Captain I5riggs was in Euroi^e when the World War broke out in 1914, and had had an opportunity to observe the methods used in the various military schools in France. Later five French officers and four British officers, with several French and English non-commissioned officers, arrived as in- structors, and during the latter ]iart of the training period gave valuable assistance in preparing the Division for the part it was to play in the Great War. 30 RIBTU OF THE TinUTY-SECONT) DIVISION A trench system was constructed just mitside the camp, and in this system trench warfare was practiced. Infantry and artillery target ranges were prepared early in the training period, and a thorough course of instrnction in service firing was given to every man in tlie Division. From tlu'se two features of the training i)rogram e.xcellent results were obtained. The War Department training program prescribed that certain hours of the week be devoted to athletics, and advantage was taken of this opportunity to organize a divisional football team, which was an important factor in creating a divisional esprit de corps. The team played elevens representing other military camps, and finished its schedule without being defeated by a soldier organization. TROOPS DRILLED, RAIN OR SHINE. The training was greatly expedited by the excellent weather which prevailed at Camp MacArthur. The policy of the Division was to carry out the program, rain or shine, and this policy was rigidly adhered to, especially in the schedule of trench maneuvers. However, there was very little rain, and interruptions of the program were rare. All elements of the Division trained with ecpial ene'rgy, and all ranks soon realized that the 32nd would "get into the war" at a much earlier date than many had at first realized. This was a point which the Division C'onnnander frequently emphasized in his daily conferences with the field officers. It was quickly evident to everyone that there was no time to waste, and the Division accordingly wasted none. In spite of handicaps due to lack of equijnnent, the Artillery Brigade developed as steadily as the infantry, the machine gun battalions ra.pidly gained knowledge of their weapons, the signal battalion, the engineers and the sanitary troops found practical work to do to supplement the required drills, and the trains, truck companies and trench mortar battery, without the "tools of their trade" with which to practice, took up infantry training, and organized schools to learn what they could about their specialties. Indeed at several division reviews the trains were commended by the Division Commander for the fine showing which they made, marching as infantry, and became rivals of the best "doughboy" battalions for smartness on parade. Rigid discipline was required in everything that the Division did. Even games — the exercises prescribed as part of the training — were played at attention. Laundry work was done by schedule, during hours set apart for that purpose; and facetious "doughboys" used to say that they took their shower baths "by the numbers." But if the stern military rule to which they were subjected irked the men they did not show it; early in the game they demonstrated a willingness to implicitly obey orders, and after the Division had been in training two months it l)ecame ai)parent to every- one that the 32nd was to be a thorou^ghly disci])lined organization. Both officers and men had cause, later, to be thankful for the cai-eful attention given to this important feature of the training diii-ing the formative period. SCHOOLS FOR EVERYBODY. The men worked hard, and the ofiicers worked even liarder. With the organiza- tion of the School of Arms, many junior officers and non-commissioned officers were ordered there for courses in specialties, leaving harassed Captains, First Sergeants and company clerks to handle the administration of the companies. At drill a com- pany commander was fortunate to have even one Lieutenant to help him liandle a company of 250 men, and the First Sergeant likewise was forced to "carry on" with 31 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR his best non-com assistants away at school during drill hours. Each evening there was an officers' school which all commissioned grades were required to attend, and frequently the non-commissioned officers were called together for special instruc- tion "after hours." A school for Brigade, Regimental and Battalion commanders, with General Haan himself as director and instructor, was held daily. The Division was fortunate in possessing a wealth of excellent officer material in the ranks of the enlisted men of the National Guard, and, when opportunity finally offered, certain enlisted men, who had shown exceptional ability in training activities, were examined, and later, on recommendation of the Division Commander, they were commissioned as Second Lieutenants and assigned to fill vacancies in the lower com- missioned grades. A number of older Second Lieutenants aJso were promoted. Some of the best officers developed in the great campaign of the Division in 1918 were men promoted from the ranks during the training period at Waco, and all fully justified the confidence which General Haan expressed in these young officers at the time their commissions were announced. While camp life at Waco was strenuous, and the duties of all ranks most exacting, it wasn't entirely a case of all work and no play. The people of Waco proved themselves to be highly hospitable, and born and bred Southerners, who admitted that they had reached the age of maturity without knowing that "damned Yankee" wasn't all one word, went out of their way to entertain these stalwart soldiers from the North. Many fine friendships were formed, and when the Division left for overseas Waco people took the parting as they would for their own sons. In fact the local papers always referred to the 32nd as "Waco's Own,'' and followed closely and enthusiastically the gallant career of their friends from Michigan and Wisconsin. And in 1919 when the Division returned from abroad it is a record that many of the men went Ijack to Waco and "lived happily ever afterwards." DIVISION ORDERED OVERSEAS. During the latter part of November and early in December the Division was visited and carefully examined by War Department artillery and infantry inspectons, and was judged ready for overseas service. Their reports to Washington indicated that the 32nd was more advanced in its training at that time than any other division then in the U. S. Its equipment was very nearly complete, and the spirit which had developed no doubt also influenced the inspectors. Accordingly notice was shortly forthcoming from Washington that the Division would be sent to France at the earliest practicable date. In those days information regarding troop movements was carefuly guarded, but before Christmas it was generally known throughout the camp that the 32nd was on the "sailing list." Many officers and men, of course, desired furloughs to say good-bye to the folks at home; but the journey north was a long one, and there was considerable uncertainty as to just when the movement would begin, so leaves were impracticable, and relatives who took the hint that there might shortly be "some- thing doing" came to Waco for the final farewells. Following the receipt of orders from Washington for the transfer of the 32nd to the Port of Embarkation at Hoboken, N. J., the first troops left Waco on Janu- ary 2d. From that time on the movement was steady, until the camp was cleared by the first of March of all but a few casuals. Division Headquarters left Waco Janu- ary 14th. The infantry was moved first, arriving at Camp Merritt before Division Headquarters sailed. The artillery movement did not get under -way until February. 32 CHAPTER II. The Thirty-Second Division in France. r ON January 24th, 1918, the advance party of the 32nd Division arrived at Brest, France. Division Headquarters sailed on Janu- ary 31st and were at sea when the Tuseania, on an earlier convoy, was sunk by a German submarine. The Tuseania carried a de- tachment of 32ud Trains, and the Division suffered its first war casualties when 13 men lost their lives as a result of the attack. The Tuseania was one of the few American troop ships to meet with disaster, and her sinking caused a sensation in the United States. The papers, of course, carried the news that there were certain 32nd Division troops aboard, and relatives of all the men of the Division who might have been on the seas at the time had several anxious days until the identity of those on board was established. Aside from the misfortune of the Tuseania, the transport of the Division abroad was accomplished without accident and quite expeditiously for the facilities available PRAUTHOY, HAUTE MARNE, FRANCE, A little town about 20 kilometers south of Langres, where Division Headquarters was opened on February 24th, 1918. 33 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOBLD WAR at the time. Some of the troops landed in Enghand, and nearly every port in France received its quota. Division Headquarters landed in Liverpool the middle of Febru- arj', vrent to the rest camp at Winchester for a few days, crossed the channel to Havre, and after anotlier brief wait went by train to Prauthoy, Haute Marne, France, (a little town aliout 80 kilometers south of Langres), where the first "P. C." abroad was opened on February 24th, 1918. The area in the vicinity of Prauthoy had been designated by General Pershing as the training ground for the 32nd. The Division was the sixth to join the American Expeditionary Force, and was, in accordance with General Headquarters plans made before it was known exactly which would be the sixth division to arrive, designated as a rejjiacement organization for the First Army Corps. .MADE A REPLACEMENT DIVISION. The news that the 32nd was to be a replacement organization came as a blow, indeed. It took the heart out of everybody. The 125th, 12fith and 12;th Infantry regiments were assigned as temporary labor troops immediately after their arrival, and went to work on important projects in the Service of Supply, so that only scattered detachments and casuals reached the 10th Training Area during the first month the Division was in Fi-ance. The Artillery Brigade went to the artillery training area at Camp Coetquidan, and the 107'th Engineers were assigned to en- gineering work in the Service of Supply. The 12Sth Infantry, however, reached the 10th Area in March, and bore the brunt of the replacement blow, just as it was destined to bear the brunt of other blows later on. For about four weeks the Division "All the privates and taljtaius uf the 12Stli Infantry were transferred to the 1st Division as repluieiuents.' RAYAUMIEX, FRANCE, MARCH 21st, 1918. 34 TEE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN FRANCE functioned as a replacement organization, and during that time all the privates and captains of the 128th who were present for duty were transferred to the First Di- vision as replacements. It was a sad day in the towns occupied by the 128th when the time came for the men to be separated from their comrades, for the captains to leave the commands which they had so painstakingly trained. The officers and their men were not even to go together, the captains being assigned to one brigade of the First Division and the privates to another. There was, however, some consolation for those who were going away. The First Division had completed its training and was in the trenches, and the replacements had tlic assurance, at least, of seeing some speedy action. Many non-commissioned officers asked to be reduced to the ranks so that they could accom- pany their "buddies," but the "non-coms" were needed to train men who would come to take the place of the 128th "bucks" and their requests, of course, could not be granted. FLOWER OF 32nd GOES TO 1st. Tlie parting was pathetic, from the point of view of all concerned, but once under way the replacements started out with the 32nd Division spirit expressing itself in the "rarin' to go" attitude which always was evident on the eve of anything big. Officers who accompanied the replacements to their destination said the First Division officers who received them certainly were grateful. The First Division had received replacements before, but never such men as these. And subsequent reports which came in when the two divisions later found themselves side by side at the front indicated that the 128th replacements with the First fought as valiantly and as skillfully as tlieir comrades who remained with the 32nd. General Haan felt the blow as keenly as anyone else — perhaps more keenly — but when the replacement order went into effect he called a conference of officers and told them that replacement units were necessary ; that we had trained one set of men to fight and could train another; that if it was our lot to do our part in the war by training men to fight instead of fighting ourselves, then it was up to lis to put our whole heart and soul into the effort. The officers left the conference and went back to their skeleton units, and training soon was under way with the same energy, and, outwardly at least, the same enthusiasm. But while General Haan gave his officers no reason to believe that there was any way out of it, he nevertheless set to work to present certain facts and figures to the General Headquarters, with the result that shortly there were no further requisitions for replacements; and then, by undertaking some diplomatic work where it would do tlie most good, the Division Commander finally got the 125th and 127th relieved from labor duty in the Service of Supply, and the tliree regiments were sent, early in April, to the 10th Training Area, where they had all arrived by April 10th. A considerable number of troops were, however, detached from the infantry regiments and held on duty in the Service of Supply, so that during this period ap- proximately 7,000 men were transferred from the Division. The Division was short 2,000 men upon its arrjval in France, so that at the end of the replacement period it was approximately 9,000 men short, practically all from the infantry. The com- panies of infantry in the Division consequently liad been reduced to somewhat less than 100 men eacli, after reassignments ecjualizing the various rifle companies. 35 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "PINCH HITTING" IN THE SERVICE OF SUPPLY. While the labor duty required of the 125th, 126th and 127th infantry regiments was unfortunate in that it took the edge o£E the fine state of discipline these troops had reached, the work they accomplished in the Service of Supply was of great im- portance in the American Expeditionary Force. According to a statement recently made by Colonel Charles J. Symonds, in command of the depots at Gievres, the 32nd Division arrived in France at a crucial moment, at a time when the completion of depots, etc., was absolutely imperative in order to supply the increasing flow of troops which was expected. Owing to the high state of discipline in the regiments detailed for labor duty, and to the fact that in their ranks many men were found with civilian training in just this kind of work, the 32nd Division was able, in a comparatively short time, to complete the construction work so urgently required, and to tide the Service of Supply over a critical period in its career. The replacement spectre removed, and tlie Division being together again, with the exception of those who had gone from the 128th, the artillery, and the engineers who were still on important construction work, the overseas training prescribed by General Headquarters went forward with all the zeal that hard-working officers and willing enlisted men could put into it. The 128th was patched up by assigning to the regiment a number of captains who had been on special duty throughout the Division, and transferring men from the 125th and 126th, so that all four regiments were of about the same strength, approximately 150 men per company. In this training period considerable attention was paid to specialties; there were a number of exercises in open warfare problems, and selected officers and men were sent to the American Expeditionary Force schools at Gondrecourt and Langres to come back with the latest wrinkles on how to make war. The 42nd Division sent back a number of officers who had had some experience in the trenches, and they gave our eager men many pointers on how to apply the principles they were being taught. The prac- tically new subject of Liaison was carefully studied, especially in the higher echelons, and the first practical demonstrations of its workings were conducted. From the first a solid foundation was laid for the divisional liaison which later came to be known as the most nearly perfect in any division in the American Expeditionary Force. PREPAEING FOR THE TRENCHES. The weather in April, when the bulk of the 32nd Division's overseas training was done, was wretched ; but the men were out, rain or shine, day in and day out, Sun- days included, drilling, working out problems, conducting demonstrations with live grenades, shooting on the rifle ranges, perfecting themselves in the use of the gas mask, and, in general, finding out all there was to find out about war; and their hearts were in their work. When the officers from the 42nd came down to help out, they were busy all day on the schedules which had been arranged for them, but at night they conducted volunteer scouting and patrolling classes, and after a hard day's work there always were more applicants for permission to go on these practice raids than there were places in the parties planned. The progress made by the Division was highly satis- factory, and when the fine days of early May came everybody felt that the time was at hand when we would got near enough to the enemy to put some of our knowledge to a very practical use. 36 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN FRANCE FIKST IMPEESSIONS OF FRANCE. The Division's "first impressions" of France and the French people were acquired in the Tenth training area, where the ti'oops occupied about tliirty small towns and villages, the largest of which was Champlitte, where the headquarters of the 63rd Infantry Brigade was located. The Division arrived in France at what is probably the worst season of the year — February and March. At Prauthoy, where Division Headquarters was established, it snowed twice, and the first two months were cold and damp. The infantrymen, who, when they first landed, were scattered in detach- ments from a company up to a battalion, had to do manual labor on construction enterprises in weather that was totally miserable. After they came to the Tenth Area the work was different, but the weather was not. Until the first of May there were but few pleasant days, and in cold, raw, wet weather doughboys drilled, rain or shine, day in and day out, and wondered who the merry jester was who first called the country "sunny France." A part of the training consisted in the construction of trenches. In the rocky soil of this part of France trench digging was more of a mining than an agricultural operation. A weary soldier one afternoon stopped for breath while wielding a pick and confided to his "buddy" as follows : "I know what this war is about. The French are trying to make the Germans take this country and dig holes in it." The environment was not conducive to the creation of a deep love for France — - for the country, not the nation, that is. Few of the men could talk the language, and those who had learned their French from books found that the peasants of this district "didn't understand their own language." But in spite of exasperations, diffi- culties, and above all the depressing weatlier, some mighty fine friendships between American soldiers and French civilians sprang up. The French matrons "mothered" the doughboys who were billeted in their homes or barns, the French kiddies just naturally joined the 0. D. Army and had new daddies and big brothers by the score, and generous and happy their new relations were, too. The French girls — they weren't exactly like the girls we left behind us, but girls are girls the world over — readily learned to "compree" the most expressive of the doughboy slang, and quickly taught their big American friends certain French phrases. How well the young folks got along is indicated by the number of requests for leave to visit the Tenth Area that were submitted a year later, when the Division was engaged in occu- pying Germany and the men were getting the first overseas furloughs. The Americans, in their early association with the French, found many of the French ways of doing things open for criticism, but they also quickly found that the French war spirit was something constantly to admire. As they became better acquainted in this peasant country, the admiration of the Americans grew, and grad- ually formed one of their lasting impressions of France — lasting even through the period of profiteering which ensued when the American Expeditionary Force grew from a few to many thousands. THE "Y" MADE GOOD HERE. Y. M. C. A. huts in every town occupied by American troops quickly supple- mented the social centers that the men themselves arranged. The "Y" in France never attained the proportions of the institution in the United States, and during the period of active operations later in the year it did not function exactly as antici- pated, and sometimes described, by its admirers ; but in the Tenth Area the "Y" did 37 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR everything that was expected of it. The huts were places where the men could write letters, buy limited, but generally sufficient, quantities of candy and cigarettes, read not-too-old magazines, and meet one another in the evening. The huts also provided the military with a place to hold lectures and classes, and in them on Sundays the chaplains conducted services, the bands gave concerts, and movies now and then en- tertained the men. Whatever may be said of the "Y" in the field — and plenty of things have been said — there is no doubt but what it made good in the Tenth Train- ing Area. 1. Lieutenant Colonel Cuahles S.

HE German offensive of March 31st, 1918, was undoubtedly one of the reasons why the "powers above" listened to General Haan's plea for an interruption of the plan to make the 32nd a replace- ment division. The success of the enemy olfensive made it im- perative that all the available American troops in France be util- ized for combat duty, and after the scattered 32nd had been assembled in the 10th Training Area in April an inspection of our troops was made by the Training and Operations Section of the General Staff, General Headquarters. Their reports resulted in a decision to designate the 32nd for combat duty, and a program of training for four weeks was prescribed to prepare the Division for its front line debut. This training program had not been completed when, early in May, there were indications that the Division would soon get its long expected chance. During the month of April some replacements were received from the 41st Division and the rifle companies were brought up to a strength of about 160 men. Early in May equipment arrived to fill shortages and certain garrison equipment was turned in, rolling kitchens replaced, field ranges and water carts arrived, packs were reduced by the salvaging of extra clothing. Yes, it looked like the front, at last ! About the middle of May orders were received directing the Division to proceed to the region of Bel fort in Alsace and report to the Commanding General of the 40th French Corps for further orders. Then for a few days there was hustle and bustle. Entraining points were designated for each of the rather scattered battalions, and orders regarding the movement were carefully issued by each echelon. The destination was known at Division Headquarters of course, but few others shared the secret, and the battalions packed up, marched to their trains and again made the acquaintance of "Hommes 40" without knowing where they were going, but happy in the knowledge that they were on their way. ON OUR WAY TO GERMANY. It was a pleasant trip, all things considered, through a beautiful country, and we finally arrived in picturesque Alsace. On German soil, too ! — though the Al- satians carefully corrected us when we made that statement, and pointed out that it was Alsatian soil, not German, though maps issued prior to 1914, showed the towns we were going to were within the former borders of the German Empire. "I'he first American troops to set foot on German soil." Pretty good stuff to write the folks as soon as the censors would allow it — if they ever would ! But it was too good a story for the censors to hold back for long; and a few days later, when the 32nd had been identified by the enemy, there was no reason for keeping the secret from the 41 O ° O S 0; O 9) FIRST ON GERMAN SOIL people in the United States, and it was announced from Washington that the Wis- consin and Michigan National Guardsmen were holding the line in Haute Alsace. On May 18th, 1918, the first troops of the 32nd Division, consisting of four bat- talions, were assigned to front line duty in Haute Alsace, relieving elements of the 9th and 10th French Divisions. It was intended that each of the infantry battalions should remain in the front line twelve days for instruction and other battalions were to be trained in the reserve areas during these periods. The plan contemplated a thirty-five-day course of instruction. However, the success of the German Offensive begun on March 21st caused a speeding up of the training, and on June 15th, eight battalions of the 32nd Division were placed in the front line and the other four bat- talions in support, the Division thus taking over a front of 27 kilometers, from Aspach le Bas to the Swiss border. In the middle of June the 57th Field Artillery Brigade joined the Division in Alsace, and a few days later was firing in support of the infantry. The 107th En- gineers joined the Division about the same time, so that on June 15, 1918, the Division was practically comjjlete, except for a shortage of about 2,000 enlisted men, mostly from the infantry. Upon the recommendation of the Commander-in-Chief, American Expeditionary Force, the French authorities undertook to complete the training of the 32nd Division at the earliest practicable date, with a view of placing it on the active battle line on the Western Front. The Division Commander and his Staff up to June 15th had not functioned in command of the Divisional troops in the sector. At this time, however, after a careful investigation by tlie 7th French Army Commander, he decided that the American Division Commander and his Staff should be placed in tactical control and in command of the troops of the 32nd Division, and also in command of the troops of the 9th French Division, who were occupying a part of the same sector. Accordingly the Division Commander and his Staff assumed tactical command of the sector from -Aspach le Bas to the Rhine-Rlione Canal with all the troops therein, both American and French, the latter forming the major portion of the 2nd line and reserve. The training was continued, with the assistance of many French officers and non- commissioned officers as instructors, until July 15th, when orders were received to withdraw the 32nd Division from the sector and prepare it for transportation to the active front. FIRST TO SET FOOT ON GERMAN SOIL. The Division went into the Alsace sector in high spirits, the troops being the first Americans to set foot on German soil. They proved to be keen students of trench warfare, and their training progressed rapidly. During their occupancy of the sector there were no operations of a pretentious nature, but few offensive raids being attempted by either side, and none of these was on a large scale. There was plenty of action, however, as patrols were meeting in "No Man's Land" almost nightly, and after the sector came under the command of the Americans successful efforts were made to obtain and retain complete control of "No Man's Land." Among companies which distinguished themselves, either in offensive or de- fensive operations in Alsace, were the following : Companies D, E and I, of the 125th Infantry. Companies C, D, M and K, of the 126th Infantry. Companies B, D, H, L and M, of the 127th Infantry. Companies B, C, D, G, I and L, of the 128th Infantry. 43 TEE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR Company A, of the 107th Engineers. Companies A, C and D, of the 121st Machine Gun Battalion. Companies A, B, C and D, of the 120th Machine Gun Battalion. Companies A and B, of the 119th Machine Gun Battalion. All these organizations had casualties as a result of the affairs in which they participated. Eight enemy prisoners were captured and eight Americans were taken hy the enemy. OUR LOSSES IN ALSACE. In the Alsace sector our losses were: Killed, 1 officer and 39 men; severely wounded, 3 officers and 79 men; slightly wounded, 9 officers and 211 men; died of wounds, 1 officer and 15 men. Total losses from all causes: 368. The losses inflicted on the enemy were fully equal to our own, according to reports of our raiding parties, and of prisoners captured. In the Alsace sector 3 German Divisions, the 30th Bavarian Reserve Division, the 44th Landwehr, and the 25th Landwehr, were in the trenches opposite the 32nd Division. In their skirmishes with the enemy in Alsace the infantry acquired a fine degree of confidence. If ever there was any question as to whether the German, with his four years of experience, his many years of training and his reputation for military knowledge, was a better soldier than the young American volunteer, our first exper- iences with the enemy at close hand settled the argument. Our men knew the German had nothing that we feared. In short order we learned most of the tricks it had taken him four years to perfect and had figured out a few on our own account, to the great delight of the French non-com instructors who were assigned to look after us. These French non-coms were perhaps rather dubious about our doughboys at first, and counseled more moderation than we had a mind to use in our negotiations with the foe. Haute Alsace was a "quiet sector," and neither the exhausted French nor the busy Germans had a desire to make it anything else. Accordingly the French, while they were with us, stifled a lot of budding initiative; but as they gradually were withdrawn, to let the Americans run things in their own way, the sector livened up appreciably. After our 57th Artillery Brigade came there was an increase in activity both in front and behind the observation posts, as the most advanced positions were termed, and the Germans more or less readily accepted the Yankee challenge. Soon shells were falling on both sides of the line, where no shells had fallen for months, and the front line trenches were no longer a place to spend a quiet evening. The 32nd Division found Alsace a super-quiet sector, and they left it anything but that. WE "PARLEY BOCHE." In Alsace the Americans were thrown into contact with a class of "French" people different from those they met in the Tenth Training Area. The Alsatians did not, as a rule, impress the soldiers in olive drab as being so wholly keen for "La Patrie" as the peasants of Haute Marne. In Haute Marne the people were "French- men." In Haute Alsace they were "Alsatians." With them the Americans got along quite comfortably. The average doughboy could talk a little French by this time, and the Alsatians could all speak German, which gave them a medium of understanding with the Wisconsin and Michigan 44 FIRST ON GERMAN SOIL "After our 57th Aitill.iy linuudu canu- tlii-ie was an increase in activity both in front and belnnd the Observation Posts as the most advanced positions were termed." FRONT LINE TRENCH IN ALSACE. 46 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR troops that the peasants of the Tenth Area did not have. Many of our men could speak German, and accordingly one of the difficulties of being a stranger in a strange land was made less acute. The friendships formed between soldiers and civilians in Alsace were neither as numerous nor as lasting as those made in the Tenth Area, but in Alsace our officers and men had their first opportunity of meeting the French fighting men at the front. The admiration of the two armies was mutual. As Americans and French became better acquainted a spirit of true fellowship gi'ew steadily, and today many officers of the 32nd Division count among their best friends officers of the Ninth French Division with whom the 32nd was associated in Alsace. TWO HOLIDAYS IN ALSACE. Two great holidays were celebrated during the Division's tour of duty in Alsace — the Fourth of July, the birthday of the United States of America, and the Four- teenth of July, the natal day of the French Eepublic. The Fourth was the occasion for ceremonies in all Alsatian towns which contained Americans, and which were a sufficient distance from the front line to prevent Fritz from taking a hand in the fireworks. French soldiers and Alsatian civilians assisted the Americans in observing the day — there were parades, speeches and felicitations. On July 14th the Americans returned the compliment, helping the French to observe the holiday, which they will always remember as being celebrated on the eve of the turning point of the war. -■-t "■*«!

ARLY in July General Pershing came to Alsace to inspect the Division. He visited every unit, and made a very thorough exam- ination of everything and everybody. During the visit of the Commander-in-Chief, General Haan told the head of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force that the 32nd had been thoroughly re- hearsed in the various drills prescribed in the training pamphlets, and that in their exercises our men were easily kept in hand ; that they were getting a trifle wearv' of training, and were anxious to get into a real fight. "Fed up on it," General Pershing commented, smilingly. General Haan expressed the opinion that his men would give a good account of themselves, and hoped that he would soon get orders to go to an active front.

NEAR ST. GERMAIN, ALSACE. General Pershing, with a bit of a twinkle in his eye, and a pleased expression on his face, developing into an appreciative smile, replied: "I like the snap in your Division, and unless I am mistaken you will be on your way to a more active front in the very near future. Tell your men I like their spirit." After General Pershing's inspection there were whispered rumors of an impend- ing movement of the Division. With accumulating signs that the rumor was based upon something more substantial than the usual trench gossip, came speculations as to the probalde destination of the outfit. Most guesses were that tlie journey would be up to the "big front." The doughboys out in the trenches received the papers daily and were familiar with the situation created by Marshall Foch's counter- offensive of July 18th. They knew that Americans had been in the thick of it, and that the U. S. troops had distinguished themselves. They knew that there were only a few divisions in the American Expeditionary Force that had been over longer than the 32nd, and the thoughtful officers and men figured that it was about our turn. Others thought that the Division would be withdrawn for a rest, refitting and some more training. Those who had good imaginations thought the Division might go to Italy — we were closer to the Italian border than any other troops on the line. A few "strategists" who had recently returned from the schools at Langres and Gondrecourt, and had seen signs of other American troops in the vicinity of Alsace, thought perhaps there might be a contraction of the front with the idea of an offen- sive in Haute Alsace. 50 INTO TEE BIG BATTLE The "strategists" were the first to be disillusioned. A few days after the mess sergeants' details brought back from the railhead the first rumors of a move an order came out directing the withdrawing of all troops from the trenches to entrain- ing points. On July 19th the first elements of the Division crowded the well-known "Hommes 40" and rattled away. It soon became apparent that the imaginative doughboys who had guessed we were going to Italy were all wrong, for the troop trains headed north. There were still three guesses left — was it to be a training area, Chateau-Thierry, or the British front? BID GOOD-BYE TO ALSACE. The doughboys didn't care much. They were, as General Pershing had sug- gested, "fed up" on Alsace and quiet sectors. If they were going to a training area they knew it was to prepare for something big, and if they were on their way to something big they felt that they were ready. Officers and men who had been away to the American Expeditionary Force schools and who had talked to soldiers from other divisions who had had a taste of the real thing, were especially keen for the initial try-out. Eeal summer weather prevailed during the troop movement. It was "sunny France" at last, and the men enjoyed the ti'ip northward through the beautiful country. It soon became apparent that the journey was not to a training area, as the trains passed through the section in which the American forces were preparing for action. We were headed straight for Paris, and those who had guessed that we General Pershing, Major General Haan, and Colonel Laucagne of the 9th French Division in conference. GENERAL PERSHING'S INSPECTION OF 32nd DIVISION, ALSACE. 51 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "The 32nd Division had been thoroughly rehearsed in the various drills prescribed in the training pamphlets." ARTILLERYMEN OF 57th FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE AT GAS DEFENSE DRILL IN ALSACE. were bound for Chateau-Thierry indulged in "I told you so." Some of the trains were fortunate enough to pass through Paris in the daytime, and as the toy French engines jerked the toy French box-cars through the outskirts of the French capital the people in tlie street stopped and waved at us. They crowded the windows of the buildings and shouted "Vive L'Americain !" and the doughboys yelled back in good American fashion. To those wlio had passed through Paris on their way into France some months before the change in the attitude of the people was very noticeable. In March the crowds in the streets looked up as the American troop trains passed, and some of them waved; but there was nothing spontaneous or particularly enthusiastic about it. But lately the Americans at Chateau-Thierry and on the Marne had saved Paris, and the bulletins in the papers the day the 32nd Division passed through Paris indi- cated that these same Americans were about to save France. And so the French folks waved — all of them — and "vive-d" for "les Americains." The troop trains passed Paris and continued on their way. Those who had guessed in favor of Chateau-Thiery began to weaken. We seemed to be headed for the British front. Many rather hoped so. The doughboys "liked the French fine," and had a sincere admiration of their ability to make war, but they "sure were hard to talk to." Yes, going up with the British wouldn't be so bad. They were good fighters, too; we would learn some new tricks from them, no doubt, and then we would "slam into tlie Germans" and win our niche in the Hall of Fame. INTO THE BIG BATTLE NEAR THE "BIG FRONT" AT LAST. But it wasn't to be the British front after all. The same day that we passed through Paris the trains pulled up at a station in the vicinity of the forest of ■Compiegne where the German drive had been stopped a short time before. The troops detrained and were billeted in a number of small towns in the neighborhood of Pont St. Maxcnce with Division Headquarters at Bethisy St. Martin. Still, our destination wasn't exactly apparent. Maybe the General and his staff knew where we were going to get our baptism of fire, but nobody else did, or cared particularly. All rather hoped it would be around Chateau-Thierry. That was known as an American sector, and if we got in there it would be something to write the folks back home when we got out. We wouldn't have to tell them that it was a quiet sector. The Division spent a few days in the small towns west of the forest of Compiegne, during which the entire Division was assembled there. The First Division had recently been in that neighborhood — we met some of the 32nd Division men who had been transferred to the First in our replacement days. They had been in the thick of it, and we listened to their tales with interest. Back from the front came news that the 42nd Division was smashing the German lines for daily gains. All the news indicated that the Allies were gaining and we were impatient to be off. We had not long to wait. By July 24th the whole Division was in the vicinity of Pont St. Maxence southwest of Soissons. We were under the orders of the 10th French Army, which was operating around Soissons, and were in the Army Reserve. On July 26th orders were received to proceed by trucks to the region of Chateau- Thierry and report to the 38th French Corps of the Sixth French Army. The Troops embussed at once and rode through a country recently swept by a tremendous battle. Whenever a road block developed and the truck train stopped the men jumped off and went souvenir hunting. There were plenty of evidences of the German retreat and evidences also of what had caused them to fall back — the French poilu. Belts of machine gun bullets, helmets and German equipment were scattered over the fields. But the search for souvenirs had its disadvantages. The Germans who had been left behind hadn't been buried very deeply, and certain salvaging expeditions met with rather grewsome surprises now and then. The men picked up a lot of souvenirs and carried them until they left the trucks — and maybe for an hour afterwards. Then most of them decided that a pack which was some pounds heavier than the man who wrote Field Service Regulations had figured on was enough baggage — and besides, where they were going there would be souvenirs in plenty. AT CHATEAU-THIERRY. Debussing at Chateau-Thierry just after nightfall, the troops marched to billets in the town and in small villages in the vicinity. Up ahead the war was going on, all right. The sky throbbed with red flashes from the big guns; their constant cough and rumble told us plainly that this wasn't Alsace. There was some specu- lation as to when we would be up there, but the immediate concern was in regard to billets. Some of them were quite a distance, from the debussing point and the hike put thoughts of future danger and glory out of our heads. Tliat night, for the first time since coming to France, many of the men billeted without a roof over their heads — some took to the fields in pup-tents, while others took their chances in wrecked buildings and hoped it wouldn't rain. 53 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR The next day the 32ncl Division got its first real look at Chateau- Thierry and the towns in the tip of the famous Maine salient. The sight-seeing was of brief dura- tion, however, for late in the afternoon orders were received directing that the troops march at nightfall, to arrive in the immediate rear of the divisions up ahead who were at grips with the Germans. The rolling kitchens and field trains had marched from the Pont St. Maxence region and had not yet arrived, so that the meals on the 27th were from the reserve rations and the vegetable gardens in the vicinity. Just before dark, July 27th, the doughboy regiments lined up on the Paris-Metz road and started forward. The 32nd Division was going into battle at last! How different from the scene a good many had visualized ! There were no bands, no flags, no pomp, not even a riffle of any excitement. If the men had any feeling in the matter they didn't express it. Their immediate concern was the difficulty of march- ing with their blouses on, on that hot night. But the order said what uniform should be worn and how it should be worn, and the 32nd was a well disciplined division ; the men wore their blouses, but they compromised by tucking their olive drab shirts into their packs. As the Division struggled along the hot and dusty road, frequently halted by blocks up ahead, the rumbling of the big guns became louder; tlieir coughing deeper. Tire red blotches in the sky were continuous. There was sure-enough fighting not far away, but nobody worried especially about that. "What in hell was the matter with that regiment up in front ? Couldn't they hike, or what ? Let's go !" Just as day was breaking, the Division reached its destination and bivouacked in the Forct de Fere, near le Charmcl and right in the rear of the 3rd and 28th U. S. divisions, which were in the line. Division Headquarters came up to Jaul- gonne — the 63rd and G4th Brigade P. C.'s were established at le Charmel. PEEPARING FOR THE BATTLE. The next day regimental and battalion commanders went up to reconnoiter and make their plans for relieving the 3rd Division. The troops remained concealed in the Foret de Fere, and worried a great deal more about the fact that the rolling kitchens were still some distance behind, than they did at the imminence of their participation in a major offensive and one of the decisive battles of the great war. The junior otficers were a little thoughtful, wondering when the relief would be made, and what the plan of action would be. But their minds, too, were on the "chow" wagons, more or less, and they hoped the mess sergeants would catch up before the big show started. There was no change in the situation on July 28th. The Division and Brigade P. C.'s remained as on the day before. The regimental and bat- talion commanders had reconnoitered the front, and were ready for the order which would send their outfits up to strike a blow for Democracy. After midnight of the 28th, the 38th French Corps ordered the relief of the 3rd Division by one brigade of the 32nd, the relief to take place the night of July 29th-30th. Orders for the relief at once were issued. The command of the sector was to pass to the Commanding General of the 32nd at 11 A. M., July 30th, and arrangements were made to move the Division P. C. to le Charmel Chateau, near the village of le Charmel, on the morning of July 30th. 54 INTO THE BIG BATTLE NO THOUGHT OF POSSIBLE FAILURE. In the Foret de Fere the men waited througli the day for the word to move out. They didn't know exactly what tliey were expected to do, but they knew they were going to do it. Nine months later, when the war was over and the men were crossing the ocean on their way home, General Haan made a speech at a banquet of officers of the Division in which he said that the possibility of failure never entered his head at the time his Division was preparing to go into action on the Ourcq and while the 32nd was driving at the Germans in the long smash to the Vesle. That is exactly the way every officer and man in the Division felt at the time. A major offensive was a new one on them ; but they had trained for it, and they knew in theory what they should do — attack, dig in, hold and prepa.re to attack again. They thought a little about some concrete things tliat might actually happen, but the possibility of failure was not one of the visions they entertained. At nightfall the 64th Brigade started filtering forward to make the relief, while the G3rd Brigade remained bivoua.cked in the Foret de Fere. From this time on the battle raged, and for the next eight days hammer blows were rained upon the enemy whenever he was found. In the savage fighting that ensued the German line was forced steadily back, over difficult ground, including the strongly fortified position on the Ourcq river, for a distance of If) kilometers to the Vesle river, where, as a brilliant climax to the brilliant American attacks, the G-ith Infantry Brigade cap- tured by storm the important town of Fismes, and the 63rd Brigade took the im- portant Gemian railhead on the Vesle in the left of our sector.

The Baptism of Fire. I HE memory of that relief which started as the mantle of darkness fell on the war-racked slopes of the Ourcq on July 29th and which was completed in the misty midsummer morning of July 30th, is indelibly impressed upon the minds of the men of the 12?th In- fantry who stumbled forward through the Stygian night to take tlicir places in the front line. They were guided into place by details from the tired 3rd Division and by their own reconnoiter- iug parties which had been over the ground in the daytime, but the night was so utterly black that the long relieving column had to grope its way blindly along, harassed by false gas alarms and all the exasperating delays to which a movement of this kind is always subjected. The big gun flashes as the troops passed through the American battery positions gave the sweating soldiers glimpses of a smashed and dusty road, the center of which they were forced to avoid in favor of the necessary ambulance and supply traffic. Although the distance covered was far less than the long hike a few nights before when they moved up from reserve to support, the effort was more trying to both nerves and muscles, but Colonel Langdon's regiment and Colonel McCoy's 128th, which followed in close support, finally made their way through the blind night, and when the damp dark- ness started to dissolve in the early morning hours, they had taken the places of the fatigued regulars from the Third and were in position on the line of the Ourcq in the vicinity of Roncheres. Fortunately, the necessary noise made by floundering through the inky night had not apprised the enemy of anything unusual, and the movement was completed without undue hindrance from the German artillery. Dawn found the front elements of the 127th facing the Bois des Grimpettes, a strong German position in a clump of woods, wliich had held up the 3rd Division after the famous conquerors of the Marne had fought their way from Chateau- Thierry, having been in continuous action since the German offensive started on July 15th. On our left were Pennsylvania National (Juardsmen of the 28th Divi- sion, who had been through some bloody fighting, and on our right were grizzled poilu veterans of the 4th French Division who had been tenaciously hanging to the German retreat since the enemy had started falling back from the Marne. IMMEDIATE ATTACK PLANNED. The 127th was fighting the foe liel'ore command of the sector passed to the Commanding General of the 32nd Division. The transfer of authority from the staff of the 3rd to the 32nd took place at 11 A. M., and General Ilaan, after getting reports that the relief had been completed and that the dispositions which he had ordered had been verified, immediately held a conference with the Commanding Gen- 57 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR eral of the 3rd Division Artillery, which liad hcen left in the sector to support the 32ud, the 57th Field Artillery Brigade having not yet come up. The 28th Division liad reported during the morning that the Peunsylvaniaus would be unable to advance in their sector until the menace of the Grimpettes woods was removed from their flank, and General Haan accordingly planned to take the German position at once. Liaison was established with the 28th, and the support of the 28th Division artillery was secured for the projected assault on Grimpettes. The plan contemplated the advance of the 28th Division as soon as the 32nd had taken the woods. In accordance with this plan, at 2:30 P. M., just three and one-half hours after the Division had taken over its first active sector, troops of the 127th Infantry went over the top and followed a rolling barrage into the Bois des Grimpettes. There had been a brief but intensive artillery preparation on the German position before the attack was launched, and some snappy work by runners and officers was necessary to get the troops in position to go over at the proper time. For some of the assault platoons zero hour was the moment they got their orders, but in spite of the close work necessary the Division's first major attack was entirely successful and was made exactly according to the schedule arranged. The 127th dashed across the clearing which the enemy woods commanded, pushed through the tangle of wire and fallen trees, and cleared the Germans out, until their advance was halted by machine gun fire from another clump of woods on their right Hank. On this flank, from positions in the Bois des Cierges, the enemy continued during the day to pour a deadly fire, and successfully hindered the 127th in its efforts to enlarge its gain. However, as darkness fell, the Americans made their way to the edge of the Cierges woods, and established themselves in position there with the idea of clearing the place out in the morning. During the night, the Ger- mans discovered the menace and delivered a counter attack, about midnight, with a force from the Bois de Meuniere. Determined not to be dislodged from their posi- tion of vantage, the 127th met the attack and a sanguinary bayonet melee raged for hours in the dark tangle of the woods. The attacking force finally was routed, and retired, leaving many dead. Unable to loosen the American grip on the woods by a direct attack, the enemy, during the rest of the night, tried to make the position untenable by making it the target of a heavy concentration of artillery fire. The survivors of the German attack were able to give the enemy artillery very exact information as to the American position, and toward morning our troops were slightly withdrawn so as to avoid the mounting losses from shell fire. We continued to comnuind the Bois des Cierges, however, and the front line was relieved from the galling fire it liad suffered from that direction on the late afternoon before. MICHIGAN TROOPS GO IN. During tlie night of July 30tli-3]st, the G3rd Brigade moved up from support for its baptism of fire, relieving the 28th Division, which had made a slight advance following the fall of Grimpettes. The Michigan soldiers duplicated the feat of their Wisconsin comrades on the night before, by making a successful relief in the face of trying circumstances, and on the morning of July 31st, were in a position for their share of the glory about to be won by Les Terribles. On that morning, the two brigades of the 32nd, in line side by side, the 63rd on the left and the 64th on the right, occupied the entire front of the 38th French Corps, which previously had been held by two Divisions. The line extended across the sector through the Bois des 58 THE BAPTISM OF FIRE aip #,9 f ^ ->*v. ^ "The 63rd Brigade moved uiJ frum support for its baptism of fire."

Grimpettes, one-half kilometer south of the village of Cierges, to Ferrae Caranda on the left, where the 63rd Brigade connected up with the Rainbow troops. In front of the 32nd loomed Hill 213 above the village of Cierges, a hornet's nest of German machine guns. It was apparent to the Corps Commander that these two spots were the menace of his front, and, in compliance with his request that an attempt be made to capljure them, an attack was prepared in which both brigades were to participate. Directly in front of us was the long, open slope of the Ourcq Valley, reaching to the small woods leading up to the woods of Lcs Jomblettes on Hill 212, a spur of Hill 230. This objective constituted one of the strongest German positions on the line of the Ourcq, and the success of the contemplated operation meant the breaking of the Kaiser's last formidable line of resistance south of the Vesle. Les Jomblettes at this time was holding up not only the 32nd Division, but machine gun nests there and in the Bois Pelger, further back, flanked the open ground in front of the 42nd Division and absolutely prevented any advance by the Rainbows. The assault planned was on much the same order as the initial attack of the day before. After a brief artillery preparation, the troops advanced under the protection of a barrage. On the left the 63rd Brigade made its "big league" debut in a work- manlike manner, promptly reaching its objective. Hill 212. The Michiganders dove into Les Jomblettes and mop])ed it up, and then cleaned out the Bois Pelger, allow- ing the 42nd Division to advance. It was hot work, and some wicked fighting took 59 TEE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR place before the enemy was forced to retire his line to the Bois de la Planchette, where the Americans could see another tough job in store for them. While the Michigan boys were roughing it with the foe on the left, the 127th was struggling for further advantage on the right. The Wisconsin troops pushed their attack through the village of Cierges and passed beyond, only to be held up by a withering hail of machine gun bullets from Bellevue Farm, which had been organ- ized into a very strong center of resistance and which the artillery had failed to smother. Officers leading the attack saw the impossibility of taking the position by a frontal assault, and so broke off the attack until the night of July 31st, when the right flank of the 64th Brigade succeeded in filtering through as far as Hill 230. Unfortunately, however, the Fourth French Division had also been held up in the afternoon attack, and in consequence the Americans who reached Hill 230 were wide open on their right flank to machine gun fire from in front of the French in the vicinity of Reddy Farm and on their left rear to fire from the vicinity of Bellevue Farm. When it became apparent that the whole front could not be straightened out and brought up to the advanced position, the troops in the fire- swept salient were withdrawn from Hill 230 and took shelter on the reverse slope between the village of Cierges and Bellevue Farm. GERMAN LINE DENTED. The day's attack had been launched with the hope of breaking the German line of the Ourcq. Owing to the courageous German resistance and a cunningly arranged machine gun defense, the line had not been broken, but it had been badly battered 'The Micliigaiiders du\e ijilo Lea Juiiiblettes and mopped it up.

It appeared tliat the German hold on the line had been shaken, and, with victory in sight, the Division Commander decided to attack along the entire front on the morning of August 1. The Bois de la Planchette was the objective of the 63rd Brigade, and Hill 230 the goal of the Wisconsin outfit. The 64th Brigade had the added mission of turning the strong position at Bellevue Farm which had stopped the attack of the day before. During the night, the Brigade and Eegimental commanders disposed their troops according to orders, based upon the problem before them, and by dawn were ready for what was regarded as the 32nd Division's most critical test. The day would prove whether or not the Americans could continue to deliver the punch with which they had entered the offensive, whether they had the power of siistaincd effort, or whether they had "shot their bolt" in the brief but bitter struggle of the past few days. The attack started with much promise of success, but reports from every section of the front indicated that the Germans opposed to us were not of the fleeing kind. They resisted desperately, and dozens of groiips died at their posts rather than "kamerad" before the American waves which surged forward. The German Com- mand was under no misapprehension as to the importance of the position, and had put in fresh troops to attempt to hold the Ourcq against further American attacks. These troops were amply provided with machine guns, strongly supported by artillery, and they put up a game fight. KEY TO OURCQ CAPTURED. But Les Terribles were not to be denied. Although new to the vicious kind of warfare in which they found themselves, they rushed the enemy defenses with irre- sistible determination, captured the Bois de la Planchette and Hill 230, maneuvered the foe out of Bellevue Farm, and finally completely overwhelmed the strong position which was the day's objective and the key to the entire enemy line to the north of the Ourcq. The capture of Bellevue Farm and Hill 230 was a triumph of tactics as well as bravery. It was accomplished by a converging movement of the two regiments of the 64th Brigade, the 127th Infantry on the left attacking from Cierges in a northerly direction to the left of Bellevue Farm, and the 128th Infantry on the right going out of the Division sector into the French front tlirough the western edge of the Bois de Meuniere and attacking Hill 230 and the woods to the right of the hill, at the same time turning Bellevue Farm on the right. Early in the afternoon, the forward elements of the 128th were in Bellevue Farm, and about the same time, the leading platoons of the 127th passed the position on the left and continued up the road nearly to Reddy Farm. After dark, the 128th, still operating on the edge of the Division sector, got troops into the Bois de Meuniere on the right of Hill 230, where they were joined by liaison troops of the Fourth French Division. The two flanks of the Brigade thus enveloped Hill 230 and completely dominated it. The possession of Hill 230 and the high ground extending across the sector to the left had been especially valuable to the Germans, and they held tenaciously to the position. Wlien it fell, they could do nothing but retreat. They seem to have promptly sensed their danger and hastened their withdrawal while the Americans were making sure of victory. From information secured during the night, it was apparent that the enemy was pushing his retirement with great rapidity to escape a further blow. The 42nd Division, which fought grimly during the day on the left of the 63rd Brigade, succeeded in breaking the German resistance which had been holding up the 62 THE BAPTISM OF FIRE i iif 0(1,11 iii-ii.i Aiiiiit;i> Uligaik- na.? iiliail> nil Hi positioil." A CAMOUFLAGED GTJN, 57th FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE. Rainbow advance. By the night of August 1st, the 42nd Division line was well forward, and on the right of the 38nd, the Fourth French Division, under cover of the darkness, came up on a line with the Wisconsin men who held Hill 230. The situation was now such that the commander of the 6th French Army deemed it probable a consolidated advance could break through, and such an advance was accordingly ordered to begin on the morning of August 2nd. In the meantime, the batteries of the 57th Field Artillery Brigade, which had been coming into the line since the night of July 30th-31st, was finally all in position and set to fire the barrage which was to protect the infantry in their final push. There were early indications, on the morning of August 2nd, when the new drive started, that the Germans were abandoning their positions without the stubborn resistance which had made them worthy foes for the past three days. On the 32nd Division front, the forward movement progressed rapidly, and early in the day our troops had passed Reddy Farm and advanced to a line a little south of Chamery, which was the day's objective. "Sacrifice" machine gun crews had interrupted the progress to a certain extent, but none of the organized resistance of previous experi- ence had been encountered, so it was decided to press on beyond the objective. The pursuit was continued encT'getically to a line north of the village of Dravegny, which the 32nd Division reached by nightfall, after advancing a distance of approximately 6 kilometers. The extent of the Ajnerican victory was now apparent, and the allied command planned to drive on to the Vesle. Accordingly, on August 3rd, the pursuit was resumed, and our troops continued to steadily gain ground, although meeting with 63 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR increased resistance, especially from the left flank, where the 42nd Division, on account of the many patches of bothersome woods from which the sacrifice machine guns operated, was unable to advance as rapidly as the 32nd. GEEMANS STAND ON VESLE. By the end of the day, the Division's front line had advanced 7 kilometers, to the hills overlooking the valley of the Vesle, about 1 kilometer south of the Vesle on the left and two kilometers south of Fismes on the right flank. Here considerable resist- ance was encountered from the German rear guard organization, which was making a stand to protect the withdrawal over the river. After ascertaining that the enemy intended to make a stand, the advanced forces were thinned out and withdrawn, to prevent heavy casualties from the continuous stream of machine gun and artillery fire from the well organized German positions on the heights north of the Vesle. About midnight on August 3rd, the Corps Commander ordered the 32nd Division to push forward to the Vesle and provide the means of crossing. Immediately dis- positions were ordered with the idea of overcoming the German rear guard and establishing the American forces in command of the river crossings. When the pursuit of the Germans started on August 2nd, the Division front was held by elements of all four infantry regiments, the 126th on the left being in liaison with the 42nd Division, with the 125th, 127th and 128th, in the order named from left to right, the 128th being in liaison with the Fourth French Division on the right. When the advance was started on August 2nd, the 125th and 12Gth moved "The Division's front line had advanced 7 kilometers to the hills overlooking the Vesle.' MONT ST. MARTIN.

The enemy, however, had no intention of yielding without a bitter battle, and by means of very heavy artillery and machine gun fire was able success- fully to hold the town and railroad yards during the early hours of the afternoon. 65 ■c 66 TEE BAPTISM OF FIRE 'LES TERRIBLES" TxVKE FISMES.

His shattered companies made a desperate assault and finally succeeded, about nightfall, in passing through the town and establishing a position on the south bank of the river. On the left, the 63rd Brigade took the railroad yards and succeeded in getting a few small patrols across the river during the night, but was unable to maintain them there, and they were withdrawn. On August 5th, the troops of the 127tli. who were in Fismes, gave their attention to mopping up the west half of the town. Attempts also were made to cross the river, but without success. On the night of August 5th, the Third Battalion of the ISSth Infantry, which was the only strong battalion left in the 64th Brigade, was ordered into Fismes to reinforce the 127th, and on the morning of August Oth, all four companies of the reinforcing battalion entered Eismes, relieving the 127th. There were still German snipers in the town, and the 128th continued to mop up the place. In the eastern part of the town German and American patrols clashed in fights for possession of sheltering walls and buildings, and it was not until nightfall that the Americans could claim anything like control of the city. By this time, it had become apparent that an organized attack would have to be made if the Allies were to secure bridge-heads across the Vesle, and the 28th Division was ordered up to relieve the 32nd and prepare for the effort. On the night of August 6th-7th, the Pennsylvanians came up from the rear, where they had been following in support of the 32nd since their relief from the line over a week before by the 63rd Brigade. The Keystone soldiers took over Fismes from the battered battalion of the 128th on the morning of August 7th, and relieved the 63rd Brigade in the left sub-sector during the night before. The relief in the town was made in the presence of enemy patrols, and, though the Americans continued to hold the city, Fismes was a No-Man's Land and fair game for both sides for several weeks there- after. 67 CHAPTER VI. "Le5 Terribles" Report to General Mangin. II E las^t tired dnughboys sifted out of the front line positions dur- ing the forenoon of August 7tli, and dragged tlieir weary feet liaek to the shattered, filthy towns which a few days before they liad rushed through in the heat of their first big battle. They found some shelter, such as it was; they found their rolling kitchens with plentiful hot food, and they found more or less rest, ]>uiictuatc(l, however, by airplane bombs and heavy shells at frequent intervals. In twenty-four hours they felt a lot better, and began to take an interest in hearing what they had accom- plished. Each small unit knew, of course, that it had gained its objectives, that it had fought well ; but had the Division as a whole demonsti'ated that it was the shock outfit we all believed it to be? "They found their rolling kilcliens with plentiful hot food.' NEAR MONT ST. M.'MITIN. 69 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVL^ION IN THE WORLD WAR It had. Up at Diavegiiv, a town about in the center of the territory the Division had just wrested from the enemy, the 128th Infantry had a battalion headquarters. On the day after the relief a runner, coming from regimental headquarters, brought the news that all was well. "General Ilaan was just out to see Col. McCoy," he told the company runners gathered around l)attalion headquarters. "The Old Boy was all smiles. I guess he's satisfied." He was; and soon the story of the General's smile was going the rounds of every mess line. Little by little the men during the next few days heard the story of what their Division had done. They learned that in seven days of fighting — which means shooting, marcliing, rushing, digging, sweating, bleeding, enduring hunger, thirst, exhaustion, coolies and all manner of the manifold hardships of war — they had gained 19 kilometers; captured eighteen villages or fortified farms, captured four pieces of heavy artillery, five pieces of light artillery, ten trench mortars, and 28 machine guns, many of which they turned on the foe, besides hun- dreds of rifles and artillery and machine gun ordnance which they did hot use. They learned that the anunuiiition and war material which they had captured was being collected and hauled to the rear by the trainload. They found it was the Fourth Prussian Guards who had first tried to stop their rush on the Ourc(j and whom they had so terribly punished and completely vanquished. They learned that the 200th and 2 null German divisions had then Iteen thrown in against them in an attempt to stay their rush for the Vesle, and they knew where all that were left of those two divisions were now. They were north of the Vesle, and thanking their stars that they were fleet enough of foot to outdistance those mad soldiers from across the seas whom the French were calling "Ix;s Terribles." EARN NICKNAME OF "LES TERRIBLES." For it was in tliis battle that the .S2n(l Division got its name. When the fight first started General de Mondesir, commanding the 38th French Corps, under whose orders the 32nd was serving, came up to see how the Americans were conducting the battle. He looked over the plans at the Division P. C, and asked questions concerning the methods by which expected results were to be achieved; then he shook hands with everybody and expressed himself as "tres content," which means, of course, that he thought it would work. Not satisfied with visiting Division Headquarters, the French Corps Commander, in order to inforjn himself further, went to the front, found a good observation point, and with his own eyes saw our soldiers as they climlied the heights to the north of the Ourcq containing the strong position included in Bellevue Farm, Tlill 230, the Jomblettes Woods and the heights in the left of our sector. He saw them clearing the enemy out of those powerful positions with a regularity and determination which contented even a fiery Frenchman, and when he later learned that our troops had that day taken all the strong positions to the north of the Ourcq and were solidly entrenched there and holding them, he said, "Oui, Oui, Lps snldals fcrribic. Ires hien, tres bien !" And the name stuck. General Mangin heard of it and referred to the 32nd Division as "Ijes Terribles'' when he asked for the Division to join his famous 10th French Army of shock troops north of Soissons, and he later made it official when he incorporated it in his citation for their terrific punch at Juvigny. 70 "LES TERRIBLES" REPORT TO GENERAL MANGIN Owing to the sanguinary character of the figliting in the Aisne-Marne offensive, tlie uumbur of prisoners taken was less than might otherwise have been the case. The Prussian Guards shot it out with us on the Ourcq, and when they broke it was because there weren't enougli left of tliem to stop tlie American rush. The two divisions that succeeded them did not die as galhmtly, but they retired skillfully, and there was little "kamerading." Asi a result, but one German officer was captured, and only ninety-six men passed through the Division cage. Our burial squads interred more German dead than the 32nd Division's total of killed and missing. Our own casualties were heavy, numerically, but light in comparison with the results achieved and the losses known to have been inflicted on the enemy. Our casualties were: Killed and died of wounds, 777; severely wounded, 1153; slightly wounded, 2009; missing 12; captured, 2 officers and 6 men. Total losses from all causes, 4187. This total does not include the reduction of fighting strength sulTered by every regiment through the evacuation of men who were taken ill on the field of battle and who could not k-eep up with their hard marching outfits. Only the stoutest hearts and strongest constitutions reached the Vesle on the heels of the foe, and pitiful indeed were some of the handfuls which company commanders mustered as thi'ir units when they took their men out of line on August 7th. 32nd STDOD TEST. This operation tested the ability of the Division in almost every phase of warfare. The men demonstrated that they could outfight the German in hand to hand en- counters; that they could take his positions by assault; that they could outmaneuver the enemy when maneuver tactics were desirable ; and that they would go without food and sleep when it became necessary to leave their supplies behind and relent- lessly pursue a retreating foe. During the operation, they learned to use the auxil- iary infantry arms, and special weapons that were not called into use in the early fighting were utilized to great advantage when the enemy resistance south of the Vesle was broken. The operation was fought almost entirely under the 38th French Corps, the 3rd U. S. Corps, commanded by Major General Bullard, taking over the sector on the morning of August 5th after the 32nd Division had occupied the south bank of the Vesle. , ; I Hl.j For a few days after the relief the division rested in the small towns between the Oureq and the Vesle to which the troops had been withdrawn. Up ahead the 77th and 28th Divisions were trying to cross the Vesle and finding it impossible. It appeared that a period of stabilization on the Vesle front would follow, and orders were received for the 32nd to resume training. A rcdisj)osition of forces was required which took the men from the towns where they were billeted and sent them to bivouac in the shelter of woods not far from the front, always within range of the German artillery, and constantly exposed at night to the air])lane bombers. How- ever, the men remained well concealed; their jxisitions were apparently not dis- covered by the enemy, and the casualties during the time that the Division served as a reserve for General BuUard's Corps were slight. The training program provided for instruction in the use of infantry specialties, and maneuver problems, including a division terrain exercise. A few replacements were received to fill the gaping ranks, but (he new men were only partially trained, and, of course, had never been under fire. Tliey brought the strengtii of the rifle 71 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN Till: WORLD WAR companies up to about 110 men and two officers cacli. In less than twenty days after they joined the Division these new men were thrown into one of tlie fiercest bits of action of the whole war. But so thorough was their limited instruction and so quickly did they assimilate the aggressive s])irit of the Division, that they conducted themselves like veterans when the test came, and contributed greatly to the prestige which the Division gained in its famous Juvigny campaign. ORDERED TO HEroitT TO MANGIN. The training had proceeded less than two weeks w'hen orders were received to move the Division again to the vicinity of Soissons and report to the Comnumding (■eneral of the Tenth French Army, the great Mangin. Tile order came rather suddenly, and provided that the movement be made by trucks for the foot troops and by marching for the artillery and mounted element.'!. The 57th Field Artillery had remained in action when the 3tind was withdrawn, and was supporting the 28tli and 7ith Divisions. On August 23rd the artillery brigade was withdrawn from the Vesle and the infantry embussed for the new sector. The Division moved to the vicinity of Perre- fonds, and after a few days in the Army reserve was sent acro.«s the .Xisne to a posi- tion in the rear of the 127th French Infantry Division, with instructions to prepare to relieve that division at an early date. Tlve 32nd had no sooner reported itself in the new reserve position than the order for the relief came. The sector north of Soissons seemed, as we marched toward the front on the night of August 2Gth-27th, every bit as active as did the Chateau-Thierry sector when we marched in there just a month before. Up ahead were the same rumbling guns, coughing their barrages at the foe. In the summer sky was the same feverish red glare, throbbing throughout the night, as our batteries and theirs poured back and forth tbcir deadly hates. "JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE." But this time we knew what we w^ere going into. While the men were training back of the Vesle they had hoped that their ne.xt move would be out of the war zone, for a week or two anyway, away from the shells and the airplanes and the cooties. The hope survived in the breasts of some even during the "bus (rip to the new sector, but when they debussed they knew this was no rest area. Well, fair enough, the doughboy ruled; anything was better than those' damned woods in which they had been camping since their last fight. 'Iliis coming action looked like it might be a whole lot like the last. The country appeared to be much the same. It wasn't rain- ing anyway, but there sure was a sight of dust. "C'est la guerre!" If it wasn't one thing it was another. We wondered whether Heinie would stick as he did on the Ourcq or run as he did afterwards. Some of the doughboys would just as soon he didn't stick; those Prussian Guards were sure hard to lick. Others IioihhI he would. "Might as well wipe him up all in one place," they figured. "Besides when we're chasing Ileinie we're running away from our chow." The memory of those eatless days during the Aisne-Marne pursuit survived longer than the horror of the bloody fights which ensued when the chase was temporarily halted. As they marched into their second battle the men voiced some ideas that they had not expressed as they went into their first fight. They were veterans now, and they had the assurance of veterans. They knew their companies were down to 50 per 72 ■S g w 260 g E ^ 73 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD WAR cent, of tlie autliorized strength, but they also knew that what there were of them were as good as full companies before Chateau-'J'hierry. And again the possibility of failure wns never thought of. The French had pushed the Germans out of the trenches through which the road we were using drove toward the front. Well, if they could make the enemy move, so could we. The doughboys hoped the front line wasn't too far ahead of the support position. These approach marches were a nuisance. Wlio wouldn't rather fight than hike? The relief order provided that the ;i2nd should occupy the position then held by the 127th French Division on the night of August 2Tth-28th. It was decided to ])ut the 63rd Brigade in the line and the 64th in support, and orders were issued accordingly. As soon as darkness furnished a cover the troops started moving up and again the battle was on. It was a dilTercnt fight from the Aisne-Marne operation. It was a fight all the time — every minute. There was no respite while we were catching up to the enemy. We were caught up to him from the instant we got into the front line zone until we pulled out of it — five days of hell on earth. The 63rd Brigade went over the top at the very minute General Haan took command of the sector and the filth Brigade was stabbing machine gun nests five days later when the Moroccans came up to lake the job off our hands. 74 1.

Major Armand (Ith-2Gth, and our doughboys, who had heard some sizeable barrages up Chateau-Thierry and Soissons way, sensed at once that this was something new in the way of a battle. There was something American about it. We knew we were going to be in it pretty quick, and all ranks were glad they were going to fight as part of an American Army. Not that they didn't like to fight 90 THE RED ARROWS JOIN THE FIRST AMERICAN ARMY with the French — the poilu was a bully front line pal — but the doughboy likes a change, and besides we were Americans, and this was an American punch. "Let's go !" MISERABLE WEATHER SETS IN. About the time we were ordered up in immediate support of the three divisions of the Corps which had jumped off that morning, the miserable weather, which was one of the most disagreeable features of the long drawn out Argonne battle, set in. The Division marched during the night of September 25th-26th and the afternoon of September 26th, some of the latter part of the way under a little shell fire, to a position in the Foret de Hesse, about 4 kilometers south of what for four years had been No Man's Land. Foreseeing that the Division might at any moment get instructions to relieve one of the divisions in the front line, the brigade commanders were directed to recon- noiter the front for the best means of crossing No Man's Land, and our engineers and some of our infantry were put to work on the roads. Liaison was immediately established by moans of mounted agents with each of tiie divisions in front of us, and the staff kept a close watch on developments, so that we might be informed of the situation on any front the 32nd might be required to take over. In the wet, cold Foret de Hesse the troops waited for whatever might be in store for them. Back from the front came reports that success had crowned the attack, that every division in the corps had made big gains and that losses had been small. Then the reports indicated that the going was becoming harder. Then the gains practically ceased. Late in the afternoon on September 28th a report came back that "What for four years had been No Man's Land." NEAR AVOCOURT, FRANCE. 91 el O ►J O » o o < 'A & g s a H 92 THE RED ARROWS JOIN THE FIRST AMERICAN ARMY the 37th Division, directly ahead of us, had been counter-attacked and had lost some ground. The Corps alerted the 32nd Division and actually had one brigade started for the front, when it was discovered that the report was erroneous. So the 63rd Brigade, which drew the assignment, had its thrill of again going into action post- poned for twenty-four hours. INTO BATTLE ONCE MORE. Just as darkness was setting in on the cold and rainy night of September 29th, the order was received to go forward and relieve the 37th Division. This order had been anticipated, and full reconnaissance had been made as to the best routes for marching. There was only one road across No Man's Land, and that was by way of Avocourt. This was only nominally a road. It was impracticable, for any but the lightest vehicles. Moreover, when General ITaan, with a part of his Division Staff, rode forward that night with the order in his pocket for the relief of the 37th Division, he found that this road, so-called, was blocked for more than 5 kilometers by a double line of vehicles, all standing perfectly still. We were so near the front line that no lights of any kind were allowed. It was, furthermore, a very dark night — no moon — with heavy clouds and a continuous fall of rain whicli bad been going on for several days. On the sides of the so-called road, tlirougli Xo Man's Land, there was much barbed wire, and it was difficult to get through even in the day time, but the order required that we go through that night. Fortunate indeed it was that General Ilaan and his Brigade Commanders had carefully reconnoitered this ground; otherwise it would have been impossible to get through at all at night. General Haan, in person, had reconnoitered the trail further on through the woods to the Headquarters of the 37th Division the day before, and was familiar with this trail. He himself, therefore, led his own staff to their new headquarters, using now and then an electi'ic flash lantern to make sure that his staff officers, all of whom were mounted, would not lose their horses in the deep shell holes that were on all sides. He reached the Headquarters of the Commanding General of the 37th Division about midnight, and reported to that officer the dis- position of the 33nd Division, which was making its way forward as best it could, one brigade marching on each side of the so-called road, across No Man's Land, in single file. The troops marched all night, arriving in the Bois de Montfaucon at early dawn, with the heads of the columns. This approach march, made by the 32nd Division, is considered by General Haan one of the greatest pieces of work that the Division did in all of its battles in France. Each man was carrying on his back a load weighing approximately 78 pounds, and during this dark and rainy night, floundering all the distance through tlie mud, falling frequently over broken barbed wire and broken down brush and trees, many of the men marched more than 18 kilometers, which means about 11 miles. But these men were hardeTied to their work, and the Division Commander felt sure that although the task be was giving them was about the limit of human endurance, yet they would respond to his command, and they did. Not only this, but after arriving in these shot-to-pieces woods, and after resting from two to three hours and snatch- ing a bite of breakfast, the 63rd Brigade was moved forward under cover of mist and fog to relieve most of the elements of the 37tli Division during the day-time of September 30th. 93 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR kk" 'A 4'- .

General Haan established his Headquarters in a half sunken building erected by the Germans for headquarters, and found that this place was more or less com- fortable, although facing in the wrong direction. It was shell proof from the south, Init we were now receiving the shells from the north. It was in this same "shack" that General Haan, three weeks later, when our troops were withdrawn after their terrific work, again sat down to write the account of the employment of his troops in the great battle. It was at this same head- quarters, while the report was being prepared by the Division Commander and his Staff, that a direct hit was registered on this little building by the long range German guns. During this period the troops billeted in shell holes and any places that could be found through these woods, and were bombed nightly from airplanes. 95 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR 0|)erations o( 32nd Division Sept. 30-Oci. 20 1918 96 CHAPTER IX. Breaking the Kriemhilde Stellung. ^^:-r"^^ r WAS in front of a village called Cierges that Les Terribles had faced, in the Valley of the Ouicq, their first considerable problem of the war; and again, on that inist\- last day of September, they found themselves lining up in battle array before another town of that same name and size and general appearance. The 63rd Brigade had barely gotten into the sector by dawn, and no part I if the relief, except the establishment of a few headquarters, had Ijuen effected before broad daylight. But a heavy fog hung low ' over the rolling hills between the Meuse and the Argonne, and, liid from enemy aviators and artillery observers by this welcome veil, the Michi- gauders proceeded, during the rest of the day, to t^ike over positions from the weary and disheveled Ohioans. By nightfall, all elements of the 37th Division had been relieved or located, and as soon as darkness fell, the troops in the front line were changed, and the 32nd Division was again toe-to-toe with the Germans. The morning of October 1st, found the (j;ird Brigade holding the entire front line, that had been occupied by the 37th Division, a front of about -i kilometers, extending east and west and about one-half kilometer from the village of Cierges. It was im- mediately apparent that this Cierges, like the bloody obstacle of two months before, was a thorn in the side of the front line. Our troops were in the open, exposed to the observation of the enemy, and the Germans were very active in taking advantage of their knowledge of the position of our troops. Artillery fire rained down upon them, and from Cierges, and other points of vantage where nests were located, came a constant swarm of machine gun bullets. The front line commanders quickly sensed the necessity for action. The in- fornuition from the retiring 37th Division was to the effect that the Germans were not holding their front very heavily, so it was decided to exploit the ground imme- diately before us by means of combat patrols, cleaning out, if possible, the bother- some German garrisons, and permitting our front line to advance to a better position. FIEST ATTACK SUCCESSFUL. This plan was promptly and successfully carried out. Our front elements were pushed through the village of Cierges and to a point about one-half kilometer north of the town, the advance being accomplished witliout a great deal of fighting. There were a few rather rough tussles between .\merican and German patrols, but the net result of the day's work was that the front was permanently shoved forward for a gain of about one kilometer. The position obtained was a better one than that taken over from the 37th, but was such that any further forward movement in the limits 97 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR of our sector was easily observed. Directly in front of our new line was a section of terrain completely dominated by the strong position of the enemy south of Romagne and on the heights to the west of that place. Although the (liTinans knew exactly where the American advanced positions had been established, and were therefore able to considerably harass them with artillery, there was shelter from machine gun bullets and a good field of fire for defense. t)n October 2nd, the Corps Commander began preparations for a new attack, and the 32nd Division, being in place, was not called upon for any action. However, as a part of the plan for the next blow, two new Divisions were sent in to relieve outfits which had jumped off in the attack on September 26th. This necessitated a slight change in frontage, and on October 3rd, an order was received for the 32nd to relieve the 91st Division, on our left, and we, in turn, to be relieved of a part of our front on the right by the 3rd Division, which had come in the night before to take the place of the 79th. The G4th Brigade was ordered up to make the relief of the 91st Division, and the G3rd Brigade gave up part of its sector to the 3rd Division. This arrangement left our two brigades in line side by side, with the G4th on the left and the G3rd on the right. The relief was accomplished during the night of October 3rd-4th, and in the morning our troops found themselves in a position with all the disadvantages of the front they held on the morning they took over the line in front of Cierges. CAl'TURE OF GESNES. 'J'his time the town of Gesnes, which had changed hands several times in previous fighting, was the sore spot. Combat patrols were at once sent out to test the German strength, and found that the enemy had taken advantage of the lull of the past few days to get better organized for defense. The patrols found the enemy too strongly disposed to be ousted by infantry action alone, and so artillery support was secured and the line promptly advanced to a position running from northeast to southwest, just south of the village of Gesnes. The town was taken by a mopping-up party, but was not garrisoned, as the Germans laid down a heavy artillery fire on the place, right on the heels of its departing defenders, and made the town too hot to handle. So it remained a part of No Man's Land and a fair field for patrol combats. Gesnes had been a sort of rest resort back of the German front line in the Argonne, with pleasant army cottages, a Casino with a band-stand and beer-garden and various kindred places of amusement, calculated to make Heinie continue to love his Father- land. It was reported that one reason the American patrols liked to reeonnoiter 'round the town and why the Germans also liked to come around that way on their trips out in front, was that the beer-garden stock had not been entirely destroyed by the avalanche of artillery, which, first one side and then the other, had loosened on the place. When the 61th Brigade comjileted its relief of tlie 91st Division, the famous 1st Division was found on our left, the American Expeditionary Force veterans having come in as the right division of another Corps at the same time the 91st was with- drawn. Both divisions at once sought to estiiblish the proper liaison, but the point of contact was the hot spot of the entire line and continued to be during the next few days, with the result that the troops charged with maintaining the connection had some terrific fighting and suffered serious losses. The operation of October 4th, which had wrested Gesnes from the enemy, had put the 64th Brigade practically in front of the Bois de la Morine, which bristled 98 BREAKING THE KRIEMHILDE STELLUNO t mik^r Wk- ''^[ PANORAMA FROM HILL 255, I KILOMETER N.

These nests were adequately protected from the searching fire of our artillery, and all cfTorts to reduce their effectiveness failed. After the first artillery preparation, the G4th Brigade tried to take the woods in an attack covered only by the fire of infantry weapons. While some progress was made, the German positions proved to be too thoroughly organized for an operation of this nature to be entirely successful, and, accordingly, a further and more destruc- tive artillery preparation was ordered to be followed by an infantry assault, assisted by a barrage. TANKS AID DOUGHBOYS. Tliis attack was made on the morning of October oth, the troops driving in a northeasterly direction towards the southeastern edge of the Morine woods. For this operation, the 64th Brigade was echeloned in depth, the 127th Infantry having three battalions in line, closely supported by the 15Sth Infantry, which followed the attack with one battalion behind the other. On the right of the Division sector the 63rd Brigade also attacked, with the 126th in the front line and the 125th support- ing. Gas and flame troops and tanks were assigned to the attacking units, and were used to assist the doughboys. The operation was successful. The Bois de la Morine was overwhelmed and its pestiferous machine gun nests cleaned up. The direction of the attack was then changed to the north, with the idea of reducing tlie Bois de Chene Sec. Consider- able determined resistance was met with in these woods, and hand-to-hand fighting developed when our men followed the barrage into the thick undergrowth and found that the enemy had not yet had enough. The Bois de Chcne Sec was finally mopped up and remained securely in our hands, but further advance became im- possible because of the strong position on Hill 255 and Hill 269. During the attack on Octo])or 5th, the 127th Infantry was relieved in the front line by the 128th, and on the night of October 5th-6th, the 126th Infantry was relieved by the 125th in the sub-sector of the 63rd Brigade. Both of the retiring regiments had sufTercd heavily in their struggle to advance, and the supporting troops were pushed in to give the Division the punch to carry on the attack in case a further forward movement seemed advisable. However, no general attack was ordered, and during the next two days the 64th Brigade strove valiantly to rcdiice, by local attacks, the strong points which had halted the advance. Efforts were especially directed at obstinate German detach-' ments directly in front of the point of liaison bctn-een the 32nd and the 1st Divi- sions, and finally, through the efforts of brave combat groups on both sides of the corps dividing line, the worst of the obstacles were removed. In the meantime, the 125th Infantry gave its attention to small patches of woods on its immediate front, which were unusually heavily garrisoned with cunningly arranged machine gun nests, so well protected as to be invulnerable (o artillery fire. After considerable effort, these nests were finally cleaned up. The sector of the 32nd Division was at this time nearly six kilometers wide, and the Corps Commander decided on another change, placing between the 1st and the 32nd Divisions, one brigade of the 91st Division which had been held in the Corps reserve since its relief in the line. The Brigade took over from the 32nd Division about 2 kilometers of front and wc in turn took over from the 3rd Division, on our right, about one kilometer. This change in the sector necessitated a rather com- plicated relief, and it was decided to again place one brigade in the line, with a front of about 5 kilometers, with the other in support. The 63rd Brigade was given the 100 BREAKING THE KRIEMIIILDE STELLUNO PANORAMA FROM HILL 269, LOOKING TOWARD HILL 255 AND TRONSEL FAR\L PANORAMA FROM HILL 2G9, LOOKING TOWARD HILL 255 AND TRONSEL FARM, ABOUT I kii.omet?;r n. w. of gesnes. 101 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR front line, and the 64th withdrawn to a support position. This movement was executed on the night of October 7th-8th. On the morning of October 8th, the new front was on a line about two kilometers north of the village of Gesnes. BLOODY APPROACH COMPLETED. Les Terribles had now completed tlieir bloody approach to the Kriemhilde Stellung, and were directly in front of what was known as the strongest position on the whole Hindenburg line in the Argonne-Meusc sector. The struggle to reach the ramparts of the bristling natural fortress which our men now faced had been over a dangerous terrain, and every outpost to the Kriemhilde line had been desperately defended by an enemy fully aware of the deadly peril ho would be in should the Americans continue their success. Forced, finally, into the position he had cleverly chosen for his final stand, the German Commander issued orders to his troops to hold the line at all costs, and reinforced his points of vantage with all the men available. On our side, preparations were at once made to attack before the foe had longer in which to set himself for the expected shock. The Division Commander's idea was to capture the strong points by maneuver, and a special maneuver map was prepared under his direction, showing graphically the movements to be executed by the various units when the attack was launched. This map was distributed down to company commanders. The general plan was to penetrate the wire and works at some point south of Romagnc and then to roll up the remainder of the position by a movement to the left, taking the heights from the rear. October 8th was devoted to disposing of the troops for the attack. On the morn- ing of October 9, the assault was delivered. Our troops closely followed the barrage right up to the wire, and on the right, the ]2(ith Infantry, supported by tanks, succeeded in breaking through and reached the southern outskirts of Romange. On the left, one battalion of the 125th Infantry fought its way to the top of Hill 258. Along the rest of the front, the attack was stopped by organized positions about 1 kilometer south of Romagne. Tlie next day, October 10th, the fighting was continued, and after reix>atcd efforts, the 125th Infantry captured one of the outlying defenses of La Cote Dame Marie and held it in spite of the efforts of the enemy to loosen our grip. La Cote Dame Marie was the name given to a frowning hill which now lay immediately in the path of the 32nd and seemed to effectually bar further progress. It was flanked by similar crests, and the approaches were regarded as extremely diflrieult. Indeed, the Germans thought they were invincible. It was one of these smaller crests which the 125th took on October 10th and to which they clung with so much tenacity. KRIEMHILDE STELLUNG REACHET*. The same day, the right of the line was advanced by the 120111 Infantry, which reached the Tranchee de la Mamelle. an important bulwark in the Kriemhilde Stellung. In this deep and well fortified trench, the 120th met the enemy in a hand- to-hand conflict and succeeded in occupying a part of the system. In the center of the line, the enemy held firm and succeeded in turning back every effort the Ameri- cans made to storm the approaches to the trench. On the following day, the different front line groups devoted themselves to con- solidating the advanced positions they had won and organizing for a further attack. Various local operations were undertaken to imprnvc the position of certain exposed troops, and some fierce fighting resulted from the clashing of our combat patrols 102 BREAKING THE KEIEMIIILDE STELLUNG •■Ov.-r 5fi0 pii-"i"i must of them surrendering in the Tranchee (le la Mamelle." and tliose of the ent'iuy, now alert and vigilant and with his back to the wall. There were some especially sanguinary struggles in the vicinity of La Cote Uame Marie, where our men were trying to gain control of the approaches; but the net result of the day's work was that no substantial gain was recorded. In the fighting of October lOth-llth over 500 prisoners were taken; most of them surrendered to the 126th Infantry in the Tranchee de la Mamelle. The smash had brought the 32nd Division up to the wire of the Kriemhilde Stellung with both flanks almost astride of the German line. When it became apparent that the Kriemhilde line was almost within our grasp, a further push was decided upon, with the hope of driving through at points where the 32nd Division had already partly penetrated. In preparation for this movement, the brigade of the !)lst Division, which had been in action between the 1st and 32nd, was relieved on the night of October llth-12th by the 127th Infantry, and the 12(5th Infantry, which had suffered heavily in the bloody battling in the Tranchee do la Mamelle, was relieved by the 128th Infantry. This put three regiments of the 32nd Division in line. At the same time, the 42nd Division relieved the 1st on our left, the 1st having sustained heavy casualties in battering its way up to the Krieuihilde line. The re-arrangement of the forces was not completed in time to plan any organ- ized offensive action for October 12th, and the day was largely devoted to the straightening out of troops. Developments in the general situation then caused the Corps to again change the sector limits, and the 42nd Division was ordered to take over the part of the 32nd Division front held by the 127th Infantry. The 127th was moved over to the right, to take over a part of the line held by the 125th, which was too low in effectives to hold the front assigned to it. This necessitated again 103 3 W > o ^ < g b; »• w § z = o - 2 3 S ■IS 104 BREAKING THE KRIEMHILDE STELLUNG placing the 126th iu line to take over the rest of the 125th sector, so that on the morning of October 13th, our front line from right to left was as follows: two battalions of the 128th Infantry', one battalion of the 126th Infantry, one battalion of the 127th Infantry with the 125th Infantry in support. The Commanding Gen- eral of the 64th Brigade was placed in command of Hie front line, both of his regi- ments being in contact with the enemy. GEKMAN LINE CRUMPLED. On October 13th, the Corps Commander directed a renewal of the attack, and in accordance with his instructions orders were issued for an assault to be delivered at 5 :30 A. M. on October 14. A\niile the realignment of infantry forces had been taking place on October 12th and 13th, our artillery had been delivering a heavy fire on the enemy defenses, and when the attack started, on the morning of October 14th, a barrage was laid downi on the enemy trench system along the entire front and held there for five minutes, while our troops moved forward as close to the wire as possible. WHien the barrage lifted, the Americans flung themselves at the German positions and sought to tear through the tangle of wire and trench wreckage before the German infantry could get into action. The battalion of the 126th, in the center of our front, had the best luck, spring- ing forward from its position on Hill 258, surging through the wire and closely fol- lowing the barrage as it advanced to the first objective of the attack. On the right, the 128th Infantry, by some vigorous and heady work, succeeded in getting through the trenches south of Eomagne, and by skillful maneuvering virtually surrounded "Tlieir officera said they quit as soon as they discovered they were surrounded.'

The 12Sth liad been forced to avoid the town iu its rusli aliead, and, accordingl}-, niopping-up parties were sent into the village from the 125th Infantry, which had been following in support, ready to take advantage of just such a situation. The 125th had its hands full, but the Germans at length gave up the fight and some 200 prisoners were taken. Cap- tured officers said they quit as soon as they discovered they were surrounded. In the meantime, the 128th was stretching its left flank north of Komagne, and the 12Cth was reaching out with its right, liaison finally being established and the position con- solidated. While the 12Gth and 128th were thus breaking through the Kriemhilde Stellung, the 12?th on the left was flinging itself in vain against the impregnable defenses of the hills which flank La Cote Dame Marie. Colonel Langdon's men found that the artillery preparation had not cut up the wire to any appreciable extent, and the first wave which dashed over the top as the barrage lifted found itself caught iu the impassable tangle. Into this wire strong enemy groups poured a withering machine gun fire, and eft'ectually halted all efforts of the 127th to advance. But, while La Cote Dame Marie was successfully resisting every effort at a frontal conquest, her doom was being sealed by the valiant battalion of the 126th, which had been the first to break through the line iu the morning. This battalion drove straight forward, concealed and protected from view of the Cote, and passed the hill on the right. Its objective was north of La Cote Dame Marie, and this objective the battalion reached, there establishii:g the position which it had extended to the right to meet the 128th. COTE DAME MARIE FALLS. The support battalion of the 12Gth, which followed in the wake of the troops who had forged ahead from Hill 258, sent a mopping-up party from Company M under command of Captain Strom to make a turning movement to the left and attack the defenders on Dame Marie from the flank. This mopping-up party, by an effective use of rifle grenades, put to rout the group which had been holding the German left flank on the hill, and allowed the whole 12Gth line in the center of the Division sector to move forward to the objective north of Dame Marie. In the meantime, the 127th had despaired of taking the position frontally or of obtaining a footing from which a further attack might be launched. Accordingly, n maneuver around the German right flank was decided upon and immediately un- dertaken. It was as successful as Captain Strom's attack on the other German flank. Mopped up on one side and outflanked on the other, there was nothing left for the defenders of the German stronghold to do but give it up. This they did, and when darkness came, and the 127th decided upon an audacious march across the top of Dame Marie, expecting to meet and battle to the death with whatever of the enemy remained, they found the wicked machine gun nests deserted by all but the dead. By morning of October 15th, the 127th had moved its line over Dame Marie, establishing liaison on the right with the 126tli and on the left with the flanking detachment which had gone forward the day before. This detachment had already gotten in touch with the 42nd Division, which had come up to the new line reached by the 32nd. This com])letcd the estalilishment of the new front and the complete penetration of the Kriemhilde Stellung. The line extended from a point about one- half kilometer north of ]{omagne to 300 meters no ftli of La Cote Dame Marie. 107 The TlIlRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "This completed » • • the pcnctratiun of tlif Kricmliilde SttUung." THE ABOVE IS A PORTION OF THE KRIEMUILDE STELLUNG, THE STRONG GERMAN POSITION. 108 BREAKING THE KRIEMHILDE STELLUNG There was a bulge in the center of the line caused by the aetivit}' of the 12Cth in exploiting the front after its objective Had been readied, the center being about a kilometer in advance of the two flanks. The exploitation was made necessary, and its success possible, by reason of the fact that this part of the sector was covered by woods, whereas both the right and left flanks were exposed to fire across an open country in front of them. Although the great attack had been crowned with success and the objectives gained, there were still advantageous positions on our front which it was advisable to take, and fighting was resumed on the morning of October 15th and continued during that day and the 16th and 17th. Special artillery fire was employed on obstinate points, machine gun concentrations were utilized to assist small infantry attacks, and the doughboys relied upon their own w'eapons in cases where artillery and machine guns were not available. Our line was pushed steadily forward until it extended across the sector about two kilometers north of the village of Romagne. In all this fighting, through a tangled wilderness of shattered woods, over small bare hills, across fire-swept guUeys where machine gun bullets ripped and where deadly gas hung low, up difficult slopes, .always struggling for the mastering of a terrain that presented a new problem the moment the one immediately in hand had been solved, there had been constant action, varying from the clash of large units using everything from heavy artillery to hand grenades, to those ferocious hand-to-hand conflicts between our combat patrols and the enemy outposts left in sacrifice positions in machine gun nests as the foe retired.

But tlie line sought was finally won and consolidated. The position, north of Romagne, which the Americans occupied on October 17th, was an excellent one from which to launch a systematic offensive, and an order for another general operation was consequently awaited. Tending the expected attack order, attention was devoted to the exploitation and penetration of the Bois de Bautheville, a consider- able stretch of woods in front of our sector. This exploitation was carried on vigor- ously during the next few days. On October 17th, the work was started by directing a heavy machine gun fire at sensitive points in the woods. The section north of the road running southwest from Bantheville, crossing our sector, was sprayed by fire from all the machine guns that could be brought to bear upon this part of the woods. Our observers from points on Hill 286 and the slopes of Hill 288 were able accurately to direct artillery fire on any evidence of enemy activity, while for twelve, straight iiours the woods were harassed by the combined fire of six machine gun companies, augmented by captured German Maxims, minenwerfers and 77 mm. field pieces. At the end of the period of preparation strong exploitation patrols were sent forward into the woods with instructions to report back at a definite hour. These patrols returned to our lines at noon on October ISth with the word that they had advanced to the northwestern edge of the woods, about a kilometer and a half to the front, and had discovered only small groups of the enemy. Accordingly, it was decided to push forward and occupy the woods in force, and on the night of October 18th-19th this operation took place. Infantry posts and machine gun positions were established on the northern edge of the woods. In the left sub-sector, the movement was promptly completed, very few Germans being encountered. In the right sub-sector, on account of the long echelonment necessary, the task of mopping up the woods proceeded at a slower rate. When morning came on the 19th, patrols were still pushing forward on the right, when they drew fire from enemy positions on Hill 274 'and Hill 275. The front line established, bulged considerably in the center and put the Division in a salient, this however, being well protected by the Bantheville woods, in which the men found adequate concealment. Late in the afternoon of October 19th, came the long expected relief order, the 89th Division being designated to take over the sector. That night the relief was ac- complished without incident, the S9th electing to hold a line through the center of the woods instead of taking over the further outposts on the northern edge of the woods. 110 1 f ~ ^^M 1 K ^^J s ^^M vl. ll iJShk. f^ ■ ^B 'A i^^H ^^^^^^B ^"^^^^m. ^H fp^ PI ■■ m ^jf^i La, 1.

JUEING the night of October 19th-20th, our troops not actually on the line succeeded in getting back to the corps reserve position, which was where the German front line troops had been located when the offensive of September 26th opened. Our outposts, how- ever, were not relieved until about daylight, and it was noon be- fore the last of the 32nd Division left the forward area and staggered away from the scene of their three-weeks' nightmare. During this period it had rained almost continuously; the nights were always raw and cold, the men were nearly always in the open, and there was scarcely an hour of the day or night in which they were not under fire. They had gone over the top in attack after attack, sometimes gaining their objectives in the first rush, sometimes being forced to re-form their shattered ranks and try again, but always in the end sending back the message, "Objective gained." They had dug themselves in after taking position after position in the formidable Kriem- hilde Stelhmg, and they had easily repulsed the few counter-attacks that the harassed Germans had had the heart to launch. They had followed each formal attack by exploiting the new front gained, and had spent the days between their big pushes in reducing machine gun nests and improving their position so as to be ready for the next shove. They had finished three weeks of constant fighting. They had broken tlirougli a whole series of lines like the position on the Ourcq where three months before they iiad received their baptism of fire. They had been through three smashes like the battle of Juvigny. There had been no pursuit like the chase in the Second Battle of the Marne, but there had been dozens of those small but vicious fights with ma- chine guns for every one that took place in the Aisne-Marne Offensive. The Division had encountered everything that troops in modern battle might be called upon to face. 'J'he struggle was over the most ditlicult terrain that any soldiers in the great war were ever asked to conquer. There were commanding hills on which the enemy could make his stand, deep open ravines which he could sweep with machine guns and fill with gas, patches of weeds tangled with wire which were (lillicult to penetrate even when not garrisoned by the deadly Maxims of the Kaiser's machine gunners. There were open spaces on which the enemy had perfect observa- tion, and whicli could be crossed only at the cost of a heavy toll of lives. East of the Meuse the enemy had batteries, which kept our rear areas under observation, and frequently shot up troops forming for attacks who thought themselves concealed and who were out of view from the front. 113 « o s z = ■< s si - fcc s Z - o = CS .= o ;. a •^ CS s < » e •^ Z 114 OVU LAST FIGHT AND THE ARMISTICE ''There were commanding hills on which the enemy could make his stand." OPPOSED BY KAISER'S SHOCK TROOPS. The enemy realized the importance of holding the line at this point. His posi- tions were organized with ever}' means that four years of experience in trench warfare had suggested. The troops which opposed the 32nd were shock units of the first order, and their instructions, as captured prisoners invariably stated, were to hold the line at all costs. The enemy was well supplied with machine guns and artillery. He was fully familiar with every detail of the country in which the fighting took place. He was hampered by no problems of supply, for he was being forced back upon an abundance of every required material, and had an ample system of strategic wagon roads and narrow-gauge railways. All the advantages of combat were with him ; yet he was completely beaten in every clash with the 32nd Division ; the famous Hindenburg line of the Meuse was wholly broken, and not only was the Kriemhilde Stellung over-run, but the Freya Stellung, the German third line position, was pene- trated in its outpost zone by the capture of the Banthevillc woods during the last few days in which the Division was in line. This was a daring operation, performed largely by our patrols, after the enemy had been shot out of the woods by a terrific machine gun barrage. Combat groups then exploited the woods, seized vantage points, and effectually prevented the enemy from re-occupying the territory. It is significant that our losses in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive were not greatly in excess of the casualties in the Aisne-Marne. Although in the line nearly three times as long, and engaged in heavy fighting all the time, contesting every inch of the ground won, the Division had 1179 killed, and dead of wounds; lOOO severely wounded; 3321 slightly wounded. Total losses from all causes, 6046. 115 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR In the approach and penetration of the Kriemhilde line the 32nd Division met and vanquished 11 German divisions, including the 5th Prussian Guards, the 3rd Prussian Guards, and the 2Sth Division, known as the "Kaiser's Own." The others were: the 37th Division, tlie 52ud Division, the 115th Division, the 39tii Division, the 123rd Division, the 236th Division, the 41st Division, and the 13th Division. During our long tour of duty in the front line, tiie TOtli, 3rd, and 5th U. S. Divisions occupied the sgctor on our right, and the 91st, 1st and -12nd U. S. Divisions the sector on our left. The haul of prisoners made in the Argonne was the heaviest in any sector, 28 officers and 10G7 men being captured. The material captured included 2 pieces of heavy artillery, G pieces of light artillery, 51 trench mortars, 50 machine guns, and 800 rifles. GAINED 81/2 KILOMETERS. The total depth of advance in this offensive was 8y2 kilometers. In the whole period of twenty days of continuous fighting the weather was miserable. It rained almost constantly, and the fields over whicli the fighting took place were knee-deep in mud. In spite of all the heart-breaking difficulties it was called upon to encounter, the high spirit of the Division, which had been forged in the flames of two previous major offensives, constantly manifested itself, and it was the grim detcnnination of the veteran framework of the 32nd that carried the newly trained replacements to the magnificent victory which the Division achieved. v>-^-^< ^^%^ "All the advantAges of combat were witli liim, yet lie was completely beaten in e\ery clusli with the 32nd Division."

"The men came out of this battle more completely exhausted than had yet been their experience." IN THE ARGONNE, FRANCE. 117 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR The men came out of this battle more completely exhausted tlian had yet been their experience. The battle had lasted longer, and the conditions of weather and the terrific fighting told very much on the physical strength and endurance of the men. Their equipment was badly depleted, their clothing was largely worn out, but their spirit was still with them — a spirit that it seemed nothing could break. These men needed only rest and refitting to make them ready for another great battle. It was not practical to remove them far from the front. They had to go immediately into reserve of the 3rd Corps, where there was shelter in the Mont- faucon Woods, immediately surrounding General Haan's Headquarters. The remark that they were "sheltered" needs some explanation. There was no shelter in the proper sense of the word. There were dug-outs which a survey indicated would accommodate 2400 men, but the Division still had some 18,000. Moreover, these dug-outs, many of them, were filled with water, and those which were not were un- healthy, and every single one of them contained that pesky beast which had come to be known as the "cootie"; all of our men, including the oHicers, had become well acquainted with this little pest, and were now in the very center of the area in which the insect thrived most plentifully. For twenty days, the Division had been fighting in the rain and mud; but just as the men were assembled by regiments in various places in these woods, there was a gleam of sunshine in the afternoon. General Haan visited the various regiments, called together as many as he could get, and spoke to them something about as follows: "You men are to be congratulated upon the splendid success you have again achieved, in that you have taken every objective against which you were sent, and indeed, you have gone beyond. You are the first division that suc- ceeded in getting through the great Kriemhilde Stellung. You have just been through perhaps the greatest battle that has ever been fought in the world, and you were in the very center of that, and every one of you is glad of it. You are now located in a so-called 'rest area,' which, without doubt, is from every viewpoint the rottenest and worst in all of France, and you ought to be glad of that, because see what stories you can tell to your friends when you get home, without the least exaggeration." "ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOME." In tliis general line, General Haan encouraged his men everywhere to return to their smiles and good humor. He told them that he would send for the biiiuls next day; that they should have concerts and all the comforts that could be had in such a home. The sun kept on shining, and the men kept on smiling, and it was a revelation to see how these men pulled themselves together; how they got rid of those little animals, "the cooties"; how the supply departments strained every nerve to get them new clothing, new blankets; how the engineers constructed those famous "palace baths," where the "cooties" and the old clothing were gotten rid of all at the same time, and where new clothing and blankets were issued. For five days the weather was fine, neither too cold nor yet too warm, and at the end of a sliort period of three days, training was again started, training by scliodule — everything was done by schedule. General Haan insisted on schedule for everything, and what a differ- ence it was in the training ! How the men understood what was going on ! How easy it was to correct the few errors that were still noticeable here and there, and how mobile this force had become ! The orders were carried out as by haliit, and when the Division a few days later was called again to move out, the Commander had but to 118 \ 119 THE r/IIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOUl.!) \VM!

IN THE ARGONNE, FRANCE. say a fuw words, tlie Staff fornnilatpd the order, and hardly liad the order gotten off the mimeograph when the Division was in motion. Shortly after coming out of the line five hundred men were permitted to go on leave, and it was planned to send an equal number when the first fortunatcs returned. Hut when they got back the Division was again preparing to go info battle, and it was months before any more, leaves were granted. Except in a few individual cases — a very few — these were the only 32nd Division officers or men to be granted leaves from the time the Division arrived in France until a vear after our landing. TEANSFERRED TO 'rillKD CORPS. The Division remained in reserve of the 5th Corps until Xovemlwr 1st, when it was transferred to the 3rd Corps, on the eve of the renewal of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. When the 89th, 90th and 5th Divisions jumped off in the big attack of November 1st and started their successful drive up the left bank of the ]\[euse, the 32nd followed in their wake, in close support and ready to go to the relief of any one of them. Our troops marched forward again through the country they had fought over, and finally bivouacked in the Bantheville woods, while the Corps front line was being pushed to the river bank and the left flank of the First Army was edging toward Sedan. The 57th Field Artillery, which had supported the 79th in the opening of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive on Septemlwr 26th remained in the sector when the 3rd Division relieved the 79th, until the 3rd Division's artillery could get into position, 120 OUR LAST FIGHT AND THE ARMISTICE several artillery brigades in the meantime supporting the 33nd. On October 7th the 57th Brigade again reverted to the 32nd and supported their comrades of "Les Terribles'' until the 89th took over the front. In spite of its long tour of duty and its heavy losses in horses, the 57th Brigade was held in line to support the 89th, and (ired in the barrage which opened the November 1st attack. But when the First Army surged forward in victory, the 57th was without the motive power to follow, and was withdrawn for refitting. To supply the 32nd with artillery, the 158th Brigade, which had been assigned to the Division when the 32nd first came up to the Argonne, but which had never fired for us, reported and accompanied us as we marched up in support of the divisions on the Meuse. On A^ovember 4th the 5th Division, which was fighting on the right flank of the 3rd Corps front, forced a crossing of the river at Dun-sur-Meuse, and, in a brilliant attack, formed a bridge-head there. Up to that time the Corps axis of march had been northward. Now it turned to the northeast on the right flank, in an endeavor to connect with the French and American divisions, which had been driving up the right bank of the river, but considerably in the rear of the Third Corps front. The 5th Division, however, was too widely disti'ibuted on its front to make the contact required on its right flank, and the divisions east of the Meuse were slow in coming up. So on the night of November 5tli the Corps ordered the 32nd to send a regiment to report to the Commanding General of the 5th Division for use in support of the right flank. The 128th was designated for this duty and crossed the Meuse on the night of November 5tli. On November Cth the 128th took up a position on the right flank of the 5th, but the contact, which was being sought for in the front line, was not made, and on the 7th tlie 128th was put into line on the right of the 5th Division. The regiment attacked on the 7th and 8th, capturing the town of Braude- ville and finally connecting with the 17th Frencli Colonial Division. On November 9th orders were received for the remainder of the Division to cross the Meuse and go into line in the sector the 128th was holding, between the 5th U. S. Division and the 17th French Colonials. The 32nd crossed on the pontoon bridge during the night of the 9th, tlie 128th Infantry reverting to the command of General Haan and going into line on the right of tlie new Division sector, with the 127th on the left. The information of the enemy contained in the Corps order which sent the 32nd Division again into the fight, was to the effect that the Germans were retreating, and the Division accordingly went into battle in pursuit formation. The G4th Brigade furnished the advance guard, while the 63rd Brigade, with most of the artillery and the divisional troops, made up the main body. MEUSE CROSSED IN DARKNESS. The crossing of the Meuse was made under cover of the darkness and was not interrupted by the enemy. It was an all night operation and was not completed until dawn, when the leading battalion of the 127th reached the front line, occupied by the 128th, and relieved a battalion of that regiment which then moved into the right sub-sector where the ]28tii had l)een concentrated. The two regiments, side by side, verified their liaison, and prepared to attack at G A. M. November 10th. In accordance with the instructions contained in the Corps order for the attack, the advance guard moved forward in two columns, one in each sub-sector. There was not a continuous front line, the space intervening between the routes of march of the two columns being covered by patrols. There was no artillery support available 121 = OS S CO P O 122 OUR LAST FIGHT AND THE ARMISTICE except the one battalion which had been assigned to the advance guard, the remain- ing artillery being engaged in a struggle to move forward from the river and get into position. A heavy fog hid the advance. The leading elements of the First Battalion of the 18Sth, which was at the head of the column, made rapid progress. The troops had been in the sector long enough to have some knowledge of the terrain, and wasted no time in getting off. They encountered enemy troops almost at once, but fought their way through the Bois Pommcpre and part way up a hill called the Cote de Mont. A combat liaison group on the right, which was there for the purpose of maintaining contact with the French Colonials, advanced even farther. At about this time the fog lifted and the 128th discovered that instead of pursuing a fleeing foe they had fought their way right into the middle of a strong German position wliich the enemy apparently had no intention of abandoning. The fog had prevented the Germans from effectively defending their works, and the only clashes of the early morning had occurred when our advancing doughboys happened on groups of the enemy. LIKE BALAKLAVA. As the mist cleared the advance guard found itself in a position similar to that of the famous "Gallant Six Hundred" in the charge of Balaklava. "Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them" — and behind and in front of them, too, — "volleyed and thundered"; only in this case the cannon were mainly machine guns located in nests, which the 128th had passed by in the thick morning. The German artillery, hearing the sudden rattle of machine guns, opened up with a barrage where the front line ought to have been, and the Americans seeing the shells bursting in their rear thought their own artillery was falling short. It was a situation which would have been fatal to less seasoned troops. It was immediately apparent that liaison had been lost on both the left and right, and that neither the 127th on the left nor the French Colonials on the right had been able to advance as rapidly as the 128th. Our men were almost completely surrounded, imable to go ahead against an opposition that was showing increasing strength, subjected to a galling flanking fire by machine guns where they were, and confronted with the alternative of filtering back through a barrage that they feared was thickened by both their own and the enemy artillery. But in a pinch they proved themselves veterans, and in good order made their way back to a position on a line with the units on the right and left. In the meantime the 127th in the left sub-sector had moved forward cautiously, encountering considerable machine gun resistance, which increased as the troops advanced. As they approached the Kiver Thinte minenwerfers made further gains impossible and they organized to hold the line, having gained 3 kilometers during the day. ENEMY NOT RETREATING. By nightfall it was ajipai-ont that the information that the enemy was retreating was erroneous, and arrangements were immediately made to adopt different tactics. The artillery, which had been coming into position all day, was informed of the con- ditions which tVie 128th had encountered and the positions which wore holding up the 127th. Fire was ordered on points of apparent enemy strength and plans were made for a formal attack to dislodge the enemy. Reports coming back from divisions on our right and left indicated that they had likewise been able to make but little progress and that they also had found that the enemy was not retreating. The 123 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR Division Commander made a personal reconnaissance of the front line to verify reports of the situation, and, after conferring with the commanders of the front line troops, a plan of action for the next day was decided ujion. The Corps issued in- struction to continue the operation on November 11th, and preparations for an attack to occur at 7 A. M. November 11th were perfected early in the evening of November 10th. Orders were issued to the artillery to keep up a heavy fire during the night which was to increase in volume early in the morning and gather into a barrage to precede the scheduled advance of the infantry. Out in front the troops were tired and cold and wet and miserable. For five days the 128th had been fighting and marching from one point in the sector to an- other as the regiment's punch appeared to be needed. During the' day the gallant cnniniand's casualties had been heavy and the morale had not been improved by the unfortunate foray in the fog. The 127th had spent a night in a long hike over horrible roads to get into position, and a day in a struggle against a wicked machine gun resistance. Most of the night of the lOth-llth was spent in getting units into position to go over the top in another drive. But when day-break came they were ready, all set to deliver one of the blows for which Ix?s Terril)K'S were becoming more and more famous. Finally the last relief was verified, the last reports that all was in readiness had been sent back to regimental and brigade headquarters. Overhead the preparatory fire of our artillery was shrieking toward the (ierman lines, and the enemy, conscious, no doubt, of the impending attack, was raining shells on where he thought our assault troops might be forming, and on the back areas where the support troops were concentrated, ready to follow up the shove. At :30 officers in command of the take-off line were issuing their last instructions; fifteen minutes later they were looking at their wrist watches, not with the tense excitement which characterized the approach of zero hour on the Veslc, not with the savage elation with which they waited for their turn in the tremendous smashes at the foe at Juvigny, not with the grim determination with which they entered each succeeding struggle in the Argonnc, but with the calm deliberation of veterans who had a day's work ahead of them, a day's work the like of which they had done before and which they knew just how to do, a disagreeable, dangerous day's work; but, well — it was all in a day's work — c'est la Guerre ! "FINIS LA GUERRE!" Five minutes to seven ! The men started to stir around, getting a toe-hold for the take-ofT, shaking their equipment into place, gripping their guns. Seven o'clock and some of them were off, over the top. Others had been stopped just in the nick of time, and after the advancing skirmish lines of those who had gotten away went panting runners from headquarters with the magic words: "FINIS LA GUEltRF!" 124 OUR LAST FKUIT AM) Till' Ah'.MISTlCE (ExrapK j/^CixsuesIties J7^ ' live 32^rvcl DivisioTv - Julx ■ Xugust - 5ep1:eiaber - Oc±obeT - JAovember • ■ ^aM»3•l 2^4 50765 t6Z728»303ll 2 54^6 2BW501 fi i, 5 7 a 1011 l2l5lil716l719BZ0E1221 -4 ■? 7 80 1011 l2Bi TO ^ n » »__ 1 _ -_ - eoo I "iiij: :::i:: ::::::::: » t I n IT 1 700 ■ ■_ T^:::!

N November 17th, as one of the leading elements of the Tiiinl Army, the Division crossed what had been its front line on November 11th and started on its long march to the Rhine. On our right marched the First Division, veteran of many battles. On our left was the Second Division of regular doughboys and Marines. Behind us followed the 42nd Division, the famous Rainbows, who to the Ourcq and in the Argonne had fought side by side with the 32nd. These four divisions, generally considered ' the flower of the American Army in France, were in the Third Army Corps, which had been through all the major offensives where American troops were employed, and was regarded as the elite corps of the Army. In this brilliant company it is no wonder that our men stepped off toward Germany with their heads high and the pride of good soldiers in their hearts. The Division took to the roads at the hour set, marching in two columns. There were no ceremonies, though the bands played the 32nd Division March and other triumphant pieces as the various regiments got under way. Except for the bands, the march was conducted at all times as in the presence of the enemy. The attitude of higher authority was that war conditions still prevailed, and the field orders issued by the Third Corps always prescribed advance guards, indicated out-post zones and lines of resistance to be established at the end of each day, and ordered that adequate measures be taken for the security of the command, both on the front and on the flanks. Cavalry was provided for advance scouting and maintaining liaison with the divisions on eitlier flank of the 32nd, which were going forward about the same distance each day, and on parallel roads. The roads used by the Division were charted as first class, but showed hard usage and little recent repair, so that the going was not easy. For some units the day's march was rather long, but the average distance marched by the foot troops was 20 kilometers. The first villages encountered were practically uninhabited; the country through which we nuirched was desolate and shot up by the artillery fire of the last days of the war. After the first two hours of progress, signs of life in the villages became evident, regimental colors and standards were displayed, and the bands played as the troops marched through the towns at attention. Otherwise the movement was much like an ordinary practice march. Excellent discipline was maintained on this as well as on every succeeding day of the hike, and the movement was executed in each instance exactly as ordered. 127 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR FEENCH CIVILIANS WELCOME DELIVERERS. In some of the towns a few Ereucli civilians were encountered. These in- liabitants, most of whom had remained in tiieir homes during the German occupation, decorated their houses with flags which had survived four years of Teuton intoler- ance. Nowhere was there a boisterous welcome or anything in the nature of a carnival spirit. The people seemed to have been subdued and blunted by their four years of bondage, but their relief and joy in their deliverance was very impressive; it was expressed in their faces, their voices and their words of welcome. In Mar- ville a modest ceremony was prepared for the arrival of the Division Commander. WTien his car entered the main street in the early afternoon and drew up in front of the building selected for his Head(]uarters, all the people of the town, dressed in their best and headed by the Mayor, met him with flags and flowers in their hands. The crowd, which had been waiting for two hours for General llaan's appearance, was mostly composed of women and little children, nearly all in black, with a few old men and some released French prisoners among them. The Mayor made an address of welcome, and a young girl, Mme. JIarie Louise Desaux, read a testimonial in the name of her dear compatriots, which she afterwards presented to the General with a bouquet of flowers bound about with the French tri-color. The plan for the march to the Rhine contemplated that the fmuard movement of the Americans should be by "bounds" — a "bound" to consist of two or three days' marching, followed by a rest of two or three days. Longwy, a considerable manu- facturing town in the iron and steel district of Lorraine, was the objective of the first "bound" of the 32nd, and was reached on November 18th. The town was the largest in which the Division P. C. had ever been located. There w-ere adequate billeting facilities there, and ofiicers and a considerable number of men experienced tiie luxury of sleeping in comfortable beds for the first time in many months. The town had been relinquished but two weeks before by the Headquarters of General von Galli- witz, commander of the Third Gorman Army Group, whose many divisions during the past two mouths of hard fighting had opposed the advance of the First American Army on both banks of the Mouse. The entire town was en fete through the day of the arrival of the Red Arrows. In the afternoon the Mayor read an address of welcome to General Haan and his command in the central square of the city, where the chief participants in the ceremony were surrounded by a remarkable crowd, consisting of the entire civil population of the city and over 2,000 released Italian and Russian prisoners and French poilus. The day after the signing of the Armistice some captured .Americans had returned through our lines, a few of them being men who had been taken when the advance guard of the 128th Infantry got into trouble on November 10th. During the fol- lowing days prisoners of every allied country continued to pour into our lines as they were turned loose by the Germans. Feeding and handling these prisoners and the homeless civilians became a serious j)roblcm to our supply service, harassed by the necessity of getting up supplies without adequate facilities. A large number of Ger- man soldiers also gave themselves up, but were treated as prisoners of war and sent back to the prison camps. Many of them were Alsatians and natives of Lorraine, who claimed they had deserted or had been discharged from the German Army and were hurrying back to their liberated homes. After one day's rest at Tjongwy the march w-as resumed, and on November 20th the Americans crossed the border into Luxemburg. 128 THE MARCH TO THE RHINE "The day after the Armistice some captured Americans had returned through our lines.' GENERAL HAAN LEAVES DIVISION. At LoDgwy General Haan learned that he had been selected to command the Seventh Army Corps, which had been formed to go into Germany as the reserve Corps of the Army of Occupation. That same day Major General Wm. Lassiter, formerly chief of First Army iVrtillery and a veteran artilleryman who had seen action on all of the American fronts of France, arrived under orders to take com- mand of the 32nd. General Haan accompanied the Division across the Luxemburg border, and then relinquished command to General Lassiter. On account of the imperative necessity of General Ilaan's reporting at once at the headquarters of his new corps at Dun-sur-Meuse, there were few farewells. The Staff congratulated the leader of Les Terribles on his promotion and wished him luck; but the General, while no doubt appreciating the honor that had been accorded him in recognition of the great qualities of leadeisliip which he had displayed, seemed to have some doubt about the exact status of the luck that separated him from his beloved Di- vision. With him, apparently, the 32nd Division ranked about as high as an Army Corps. "C'est la guerre," said the General. ''Never mind, I won't be far away from you. Tell the men I'll keep an eye on them and see them often, no doubt, when we get up there and reach the goal of our desire." He kept an eye on "his" men. Frequently, in the months that followed, sorrow- ing parents in the United States wrote to General Ilaan for news of their loved ones. The General wrote to the proper units for the information and answered the letters himself. And when officers from the 32nd Division met ofHeers from Seventh 129 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR Corps Headquarters and asked ''IIow's the General?" the answer always was, "He seems sort of homesick." When the General came up across the Rliine to visit the 32nd, as he did on occasion, he always admitted liis homesickness. That was a common malady in those days, though the General's ailment was dillerent from that suffered by the rest of us — he wanted to get back to his Division ; we wanted to get back to the U. S. A. The change of command did not inturrui)t (lie progress of the business at hand. General Lassitcr took hold immediately, and proved him.=elf to be an admiralile commander, handling the problems which subsequently arose in the administration of affairs in the Array of Occupation with rare tact and skill. On November 21st General Pershing made a triumphant entry into tlie City of Luxemburg, with a part of the First Division as an escort, while the 32nd Di- vision marched througli the suburbs of the town in two colunms to reach its billeting areas in the vicinity of the capital. Though the Ked Arrows took no part in the formal entry into Luxemburg, which was witnessed by the Grand Duchess and the American Commander-in-Chief, it came about that each of our columns had a sort of private ceremony all its own in passing througli the outskirts of the city. Colors and standards were uncased, and the men marched to the cadence of the regimental bands. The 127th Infantry received a considerable ovation from the Luxemburgers, who lined the streets as Colonel Langdon's command passed througli. The Division P. C. that day was located in a chateau owned by the Grand Duchess, who had directed her retainers to invite the American Commander to occupy her property. GERMAN BORDER REACHED. On November 23rd the Division reached the German border on the Saar river. We had overtaken the retiring Germany Army. Across the river, enemy troops could be seen, apparently having cleared the bridges but a few hours in advance of our front line elements. It was announced by the Corps that the movement would halt on the German frontier until December 1st, as required by the terms of the armistice. The time intervening was to be devoted to cleaning up, the issuing of such equip- ment as could be secured, and the inevitable and hated training scliedule. The rest was very welcome for several reasons. Having started the march after participation in one of the toughest campaigns in military history, men and animals were far from being in prime condition. The period between the signing of the armistice and the beginning of the march had not been sufficient to transfer to the Division the supplies necessary to fully equip the troops for an operation of the character they were undertaking. Arrangements were made for bringing up the supplies during the halt on the German frontier, and it was thought that when the march was resumed and German territory actually invaded tiie material required would be on hand. During the week's halt every effort was made to fill requisitions which had been submitted. As the result of the untiring endeavors of all Staff Departments, par- ticularly the G-1 Section, a noticeal)le improvement was made. Every day, time was devoted to cleaning up and to disciplinary drills. Some equipment was drawn and distributed. ON GERMAN SOIL AGAIN. On December 1st the march was resumed, tlie Division using three bridges cross- ing the Saar into German territory. For some of our men the experience of setting foot on German soil was a new thrill, but for the veterans of the Division it was 130 J 31 THE THIRTY- SECOM) Dt VISION IN THE WORLD WAR "old stuff." The doughboys who had been among those present in Alsace remarked that they were back where they started from — in Germany. That had been over si.x months ago. Well, it liad been a long, hard trip. "So this is Germany.'' lyct's go I Our second crossing of the pre-war Germany frontier was as unostentatious as was the first, down in Alsace, and far less impressive. There was the usual American lack of ceremonies of any sort. The columns moved out in the same formation that had previously ])ievailed, taking the precautions usual in the presence of the enemy. With the advance guards marched a detachment of G-2 observers and intelligence officers, charged with col- lecting early information concerning the attitude of the civilian population. Their first reports were to the elfect that the eitixons exhibited only the expected measure of curiosity, and that their general attitude seemed to be one of restraint. Later reports indicated that the civilians were more or less in doubt as to the treatment that would be accorded them by the Americans, and the restraint which had been noticed was due to fear of our soldiers. When they discovered that no harm was to be done to their persons or property, they became more affable. When the military representatives met the civil authorities for the purpose of arranging for billets for the troops, the matter was handled without the slightest friction. There was, of course, an absence of the cordial greeting which was accorded the Americans wherever they went in Luxemburg, but otherwise there was small difference in the atti- tude of the inhabitants. They seemed to do everything possible to make the soldiers comfortable, and the civil authorities promptly responded to both the letter and the spirit of any requests made of them. GERMANS LOOKED WELL FEU. The soldiers' first impression of Germany was one of surprise at the well-fed ap- pearance of the civil population, and the excellent condition of the livestock. Upon investigation it developed that barns were well stocked with forage, and the country immediately east of the Saar seemed very well provisioned. On the first day's march on German soil, tlie Division advanced approximately 15 kilometers on an air line, the troops marching on an average of 20 kilometers. As a considerable part of this march was over a hilly country, men and horses arrived in the new billeting area quite tired, but apparently in fair condition, and un- doubtedly able to continue the march prescribed for the following day. The motor transportation also found the going difficult, owing to the narrow, winding roads. However, by 3 :00 o'clock all organizations were in the billeting areas assigned. December 2nd we advanced the front line another 10 kilometers; but when the front line advanced 10 kilometers, that means on an air line, the troops themselves being forced to march twice that distance, and over an extremely rugged country, on roads which were ruinous to even the tough sole leather of L^ncle Sam's shoes. The march was continued on December 3rd. On the -Ith we rested and on the uth started out again on a three-day hike. HARDEST DAY OF LONG HIKE. On December 5th the advance was resumed. The movement still was oyer a very hilly country — the roads were winding, narrow and slippery from the prevailing wet weather. The march was by far the hardest the Division ever had attempted, and the fact that all units reached the objectives which had been assigned, proved that the 32nd Division could claim distinction as a hiking as well as a fighting organiza- 132 THE II ABC 11 TO TEE RHINE "The roads were winding, narrow and slippery." NEAR DAUN, GERMANY lion. 'Die 125th and 128th Infantry Regiments had the longest distance to travel. In addition to the unusually long march required, the 128th Infantry was com- pelled to use some very bad roads. The men of these two regiments were on the road from daylight until dark, and it was long after the sun had set before the 138th reached its billeting area. The 12r)th Infantry covered a distance of 40 kilometers. The 128th covered an equal distance, but over a more difficult terrain. The men were on the road for fourteen hours, marching almost continuously. The 12fith Infantry also had a hard day's march, covering 32 kilometers. The 127th had a comparatively easy day, but, even so, marched 20 kilometers. Heavy marching also fell to the lot of the artillery units. The light regiments covered 35 kilometers and the heavies made 30. Corps and Division Headquarters were fully cognizant of the extreme dilTiculties encountered during the day by horses and men, and considerable concern was felt regarding their ability to continue the march on the following day. In order to Iw sure of the exact condition of the troops, inspections were ordered and reports for- warded to Division Headquarterc. These reports indicated that although the shoes of many of the men were in very bad condition, causing them to finish the march with bleeding feet, their morale was still excellent, and they had no desire but to continue to march forward as the leading element of the Army. 133 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR The TTcadquarters of the Division moved from Speieher to Daun. Daun was a fairly large city, and it was thought that on this account the attitude of the population might be somewhat different from that of the small towns through which the Division had previously passed. Such, however, was not the case. Daun also seemed to be fully as well provisioned as the small farming towns to the west. REACH VALLEY OF RHINE. The march was continued on December 6th. On December 7th the 32nd Division was the leading Division of the Corps, being one day's march in advance of the 2nd Division, and shoulder to shoulder with the 1st Division on our right. The day's march was through the usual hilly country, and a number of extremely difficult grades were encountered. Good roads were scarce, and the entire Division was forced to move over two main highways. One of these was used by the 63rd Brigade in the left sub-sector and by the 2nd Division after our troops had cleared. The 64th Brigade in the right sub-sector encountered one of the steepest hills that military traffic had passed over in the Third Army's march to the Rhine. The 128th In- fantry led the way up this difficult grade, the doughboys lending a hand to pulling their transportation up after them. The work required all the energy and endur- ance that men and animals were capable of exerting, but there was never a moment when the morale broke down or when the spirit of the toiling troops was not as high as their efficiency in handling the trying situations they encountered. While the front line was advanced to a depth of only 12 kilometers, the troops were forced to march on an average of twice that distance in order to reach the •^« -■C5^ ^' r-» "Tl»e horses were not in aa bad sliapo as miplit liave lu-en expected in view of the heavy hauling that was required of them." NEARING THE RHINE. 134 THE MARCH TO THE RHINE uew objective. The 126tli Infantry had tlie hardest hiking, its battalions marching from 23 to 30 kilometers. The 125th Infantry marched 18 kilometers, the 128th Infantry, 15 kilometers. One battalion of the 127th Infantry marched 27 kilometers and the other two battalions 18 kilometers. All troops arrived in fairly good con- dition, and the horses were not in as bad shape as might have been expected in view of the heavy hauling that was required of them. There had been an issue of what shoes were available to the most needy cases, and this improved the situation some- what. There were some men, however, who were forced to make the day's march in footgear that was entirely unserviceable. On December 8th, the Corps field orders announced that the march to the Khine would be completed in three more days. The sector limits were changed slightly, making the Moselle river the boundary line between the 32nd and 1st Divisions. This put the 1st Division into Coblenz, which is west of the Rhine and south of the Moselle. On December 9th the Division made its first day's march in the Valley of the Rhine, and at the end of the day the foremost elements were 10 kilometers closer to the final objective. On good roads and through a more level country the troops marched on an average of less than 15 kilometers. The hike was an easy one, com- pared with the difficult marches of previous days, and was completed before noon. Division Headquarters moved from Mullenbach to Mayen. ADVANCE GUARDS ON RHINE. The attitude of the civilian population of tlio Rhine country appeared no different from that of the inhabitants on the Western German border. Their long habit of obedience to authority caused them to readily assent to whatever orders the Allied military saw fit to issue. There seemed to be less fear of our troops than had previously been the case, and accordingly less restraint was noticed, in spite of the fact that it appeared that some German newspaper writers were urging the people to be more distant in their relations with the invading troops. It was evident that reports of the good conduct of our troops had preceded the advance, and this fact had a great deal to do with the ready acceptance of our soldiers by civilians with whom the men were billeted. Division Headquarters moved from Mayen to Ochtendung. On December 11th, just one month after the signing of the armistice, the 32nd Division reached the Rhine. The final phase of the march was completed at 11:00 o'clock, when the 128th Infantry established its outposts at the junction of the Rhine and Moselle opposite Coblenz. The city itself was not entered by our troops, as it was outside the Corps sector. The three other Infantry regiments had previously arrived on the Rhine, the 127th completing its dispositions at 9 :30 o'clock. The 63rd Brigade had arrived at the river on the lOtli, and on the 11th moved but one battalion in order to eslabli.sh outposts on the west bank. TROOrS IN HIGH SPIRITS. The troops arrived in the Rhine in high spirits and good physical condition. The animals showed the strain of the hard marcli to which they had been subjected. The equipment of the Division had not suffered seriously, but there were many shortages which existed when the march started, and many requisitions still remained to be filled. During the progress of the march efforts were made to secure needed supplies, and as the end of the operation a])proached plans were made for energetically con- 135 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR designated the E.isers bridge for the use of tlie 32..d Division in crossing the Rhine on December 13th." ENGERS BRIDGE. 136 THE MARCH TO THE RHINE tinning the work of getting the Division fully equipped. On December 11th Division Headquarters moved to a beautiful chateau at Basseuheim.. December 12th was a day of rest. The Corps designated the Engers bridge for the use of the 32nd Division in crossing the Ehine on December 13tb. The order which prescribed the movement gave us two days to move all elements of the Division across. Accordingly it was planned to cross all infantry and light artillery units on December 13th, and to bring the heavy artillery and auxiliary troops over on tbe following day. The bridge was to be at the disjiosal of the 2nd Division after 3 r. M., December 14th. THE RED ARROWS CROSS THE RHINE. The 32nd Division crossed the Rhine on Friday the 13th. Although this day and date combination is usually not considered auspicious for the beginning of any important undertaking, the fact that the Americans were directed to make their historic passage of Germany's famed river on what is popularly called a "hoodoo" day, caused little concern to the doughboys fortunate enough to have the privilege of being in the front line of the Army of Occupation. Always quick to attach significance to any omen, they made no exception in this case, but contented them- selves by frequently repeating the assertion that it meant bad luck for the Germans. It must have been as the doughboys said, for the 32nd Division certainly encountered no misfortunes during the day. The crossing was conducted exactly according to schedule, and the movement went of? like clockwork. The 32nd Division and the 1st Division were the leading elements of the 3rd Army in the passage of the Rhine. These two divisions crossed at the same hour, and pushed forward side by side into the Coblenz Bridgehead. Elements of the 2nd Division crossed on the extreme left of their sector, cavalry and advanced patrols occupying the 2nd Division front. The remainder of the 2nd Division was held in support under orders to complete its crossing on December 14th. The forward limit of the American sector in the Coblenz Bridgehead was announced in Field Order No. 83, 3rd Army Corps. The order directed that the front line be plainly marked by signs, and that jiassage beyond this line be forbidden except by proper authority. The crossing of the river was accomplished without ceremony. The leading elements of the 64th Brigade were lined up at the approach to the Engers bridge, and at 7 :00 A. M. the advance guards moved out in combat formation. To the 127th Infantry went the honor of being the first to cross. The remainder of the 64th Brigade followed. The Brigade Commander had estimated that his command would reqiiire a maximum of 3 hours and 15 minutes to make the crossing, and he was allowed this time in the march table. However, it developed that the time allowed for unforseen delays was excessive, as there were none, and the 64th Brigade completed its movement at 9 :45. The 63rd Brigade was under orders to begin crossing the bridge at 10:15, and the Brigade march table did not bring the head of the column to the bridge before that hour. Accordingly there was a gap of half an hour during which there was no traffic over the bridge. The 63rd Brigade was given until 12:30 to complete its movement, but the tail of the column was clear of the bridge at 12:15. The light artillery was scheduled to begin its movement at 12:30, so advantage was taken of the gap between the end of the infantry and the head of the artillery column to cross a convoy of trucks carrying regimental, brigade and division headquarters equipment. This convoy cleared in time to permit the light 137 THE Till IITY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "Outposts were establislied on the American Army's front." artillery to start at the appointed hour. The field order regulating the movement fixed 3 r. M. as tlie limit of the artillery passage. The Inst of the artillery column was clear of the bridge at 2:30. The movement of the iiifantr)' and light artillery 138 THE MARCH TO TEE RHINE was so well conducted that the six regiments crossed the bridge in one hour and a quarter less time than had been allowed. Division Headquarters moved from Bassenheim to Sayn. IN FKONT LINE AGAIN. While the last elements were being brought across the river on December 14th, tlie troops which made the passage on December 13th, were being moved toward the front line of the Division Sector in the Coblenz Bridgehead. A corps field order issued on the day before had fixed the limits on tlie left and right, and gave to the 32nd Division a front line of approximately 30 kilometers. Our area was 20 kilometers in depth, and the Division occupied nearly 400 square kilometers of territory. The troops either were billeted in, or occupied as outposts, 03 towns. Outijosts were established on the American Army's front, and a preliminary disposition of troops on the line of resistance was made. In the left sub-sector the 125th Infantry took over the line of observation and established liaison with the 2nd Division. In the right sub-sector the 127th Infantry covered the line of observation on the Division's right flank, and the 128th Infantry established outposts in the center of the sector. The 323rd Field Artillery was disposed in support of the left sub-sector, and one battalion of the 322nd Field Artillery was in a position in sup- port of the right sub-sector. On December 15th the Division was disposed with elements of four regiments in the front line. The artillery regiments moved forward to positions in support "Autliority to move tlie Division P.

Every effort was made by a careful examination of the ground to take advantage of favorable terrain in the preparation of preliminary plans for the organization of the sector. After the movement of troops on December 15th, only slight readjust- ments remained to be made, and these were to he concluded on December IGth, under the direction of Brigade Commanders. Based upon the reports of the various reconnoitering parties plans for the defense of the sector were prepared and submitted by the various commanders on December ItJth. While the reconnaissances were going on, there were several minor changes in tlie disposition of troops, owing to the necessity of billeting units in the vicinity of the part of the line of resistance they were to occupy. The Division Surgeon published an interesting memorandum which recorded the fact that the evacuations of the 32nd Division during the march to the Ehine were much lower than the Corps average. On December 17th there were further slight changes in troop dispositions, and the Divisional plan of defense for the sector was completed and forwarded to Corps Headquarters on December 18th. Authority to move the Division P. C. from Sayn to Kcngsdorf also was secured, and orders were given to make this move on the following day, thus completing the 32nd Division's march to the Khine and occupation of an important front line position in the Coblenz Bridgehead.

Die Wacht am Rhein. IFE in tlie Coblenz bridge-head was, as tlie doughboys put it, "not at all hard to take." They had better billets than they had "enjoyed" in France. Most of them had beds. The food, while "army straight," was excellent. There was, of course, too much of the hateful "training" to suit anybody, but as the lliird Army got "oriented," things took on a more pleasant aspect. There were athletics for all who desired outdoor recreation. For many who did not desire so to utilize what they thought was their leisure ' ' time, there were soldier shows, and the Y. M. C. A. furnished professional talent to while away the long evening hours. Fraternization with the enemy was from the first sternly prohibited by all man- ner of orders, and these orders were strictly interpreted and rigidly enforced. The French "defendu" and the German "verboten" were easy words compared with the "Lay off !" which the American Military Police hissed when a Yankee doughboy smiled, perchance, at a German "miidchen" of more or less surpassing loveliness, or slipped a bit of chocolate to a roly-poly German youngster, or passed a neighborly "Guten .\bcnd"' to the motherly German matron with whom he was billeted. No orders were needed to prevent fraternization with the full-grown German male of the species, but with the "wimmin and kids" it was different. The Yanks just couldn't get up any hate for them, and couldn't help showing their good nature. But orders were orders, and the doughboys managed to get along pleasantly with the citizens of the Ehineland without becoming unduly chummy with anybody. However, the anti-fraternization order made for a lot of homesickness and more or less discontent. We all wanted to go home; wanted that trip across the ocean more than we wanted anything else; but the general sentiment was snmnied up by a stalwart sergeant of the 127th Infantry who wore a D. S. C, and who made a speech one night to some of his homesick comrades, which ran about as follows: "I sure want to go home, but let me tell yon fellows that right now I am just where I wanted to be when, back in 1917, just after war was declared, I enlisted in the National Guard. And I got here in a lot better shape than I expected, and a lot sooner than I expected. And the circumstances of my being here are just what my fondest hopes pictured. Of course, it may have been Berlin instead of Coblenz I was thinking of at that time, but that's a detail. Sure I want to go home, but I'm so blamed well satisfied about getting here at all that I'm willing to be patient with TTncle Sam and wait until he says the job is finished. Then I know he'll send us home." 143 THE Til IliTY- SECOND D IV IS f OX IN THE WORLD WAR "There were soldier shows.' SAILING DATE ANNOUNCED. Early in the New Year there were rumors that certain Divisions in the Army of Occupation which had been over longest would soon be put upon the sailing list. That meant us. There were only four combat divisions in France ahead of us, and three of them were in the Army of Occupation — the 1st, 2nd and 42nd — and the first two were regulars and no doubt would have to stay until the end. About the middle of February the announcement was made that the 32nd would sail in May. Happy days ! We could hardly wait for the long weeks to pass. At first it was planned to send the homeward bound Army of Occupation divisions down the Rhine to a Dutch port to embark from thei'e, but finally it was decided that the scheme was impracticable. On April 18th the 32nd Division started moving back from the Rhine, across France to Brest, on the first lap of the Homeward journey. At the same time the announcement was made that General Lassiter had asked to remain in France, and that General Haan was to take the Division home. General Ijassiter was assigned to command of the Third Army artillery, and General Haan joined the Division at Brest, after making an automobile tour to the sections of the western front over which his division had fought. At Brest the 57th Field Artillery Brigade also was assembled, the 32nd Division thus bringing home two artillery brigades, the 57th and 158th. On May 1st the first troops of the Division were on the Atlantic, and by May 15th all but the casuals had left France. 144 DIE WACIIT AM NIIEIN Arriving in the United States, largely in regimental detachments, a great recep- tion was accorded Les Terriblcs. Delegations from Wisconsin and j\Iicliigan met the incoming steamers in the harbor. The various detachments debarked at New York and Boston, and went to Camps Devens, Mills, Merrit, Upton and Dix, where they wore separated into detachments and sent to the camps nearest their homes. The largest parties, of course, were sent to Camp Custer, Mich., and Camp Grant, at Kockford 111. The arriving Michigan troops informally paraded in De- troit, Grand Eapids, Port Huron, Kalamazoo and others of their "home towns" before being mustered out of the service. In Wisconsin a Red Arrow Day was set aside, and on June 5th the returning Wisconsin warriors were given an enthusiastic formal welcome and parades in Mil- waukee, the state metropolis; — Milwaukee, with its Teutonic accent — which had sent to war some of the bravest and best soldiers that ever carried the Stars and Stripes or any other flag to victory. The 32nd Division was broken up — gone — but arrangements had been made for perpetuating its memory, for renewing its associations in the years to come. During the Armistice Days on the Rhine a "Thirty-second Division Veteran Association" was formed, officers elected, members recorded, and plans perfected for continuing during the years to come the spirit wliich led Les Terribles to success on the battle- fields of France in the great vear of 1918. 145 Brigadicb General W.

HE names of the officers assigned to command of the different units of the newly organized 32nd Division and the roster of the first Division Staff may be found in Chapter I. From the time the reorganization of the Division was completed at Camp Mac- Arthur in September, 1917, until its assembly in the Tenth Training Area in France there were, for one reason and another, several changes. Upon arrival in the American Expeditionary Force the Di- vision Staff was reorganized to conform to the requirements of overseas service. During the training period in France changes were necessitated by the drafting of Division Staff Officers for duty with higher units. Lieutenant Colonel E. H. De Armond was continued as Chief of Staff in the Overseas organiza- tion, with Major John H. Howard as G-1, Major C. S. Caffrey as G-2, Major Allen L. Briggs as G-3, Lieutenant Colonel Hjalmer Erickson as Division Quartermaster, Lieutenant Colonel Paul G. Hutton as Division Surgeon, Major Samuel D. Pepper as Division Judge Advocate, Major Geo. M. Russell as Division Inspector, Major Herbert L. Evans as Division Signal Officer, Captain Wni. A. Woodlief as Division Adjutant, Major John P. Smith as Division Ordnance Officer. During the training period. Lieutenant Colonel De Armond was called to General Headquarters, and was succeeded as Chief of Staff by Colonel W. D. Connor, G. S. Major Caffrey was detailed on duty at Army General Staff College shortly after the Division entered the Alsace sector, and was succeeded by Major Paul B. Clemens, one of the original National Guard officers of the Division, who had been sent abroad before the Division left Camp MacArthur, to attend the American Expe- ditionary Force General Staff College at Langres, and who had graduated in May. Lieutenant Colonel Erickson was given a line command shortly after his arrival in France, and was succeeded as Division Quartermaster by Major Chas. li. Williams. Lieutenant Colonel Hutton also left the Division early in the training period in France and was succeeded as Division Surgeon by Lieutenant Colonel Gilbert E. Seaman. Major Russell was transferred to Fifth Corps head'quarters as G-2, and for a time several different officers served as Division Inspector. In the Alsiice sector. Lieutenant Colonel Robert McC. Beck, Jr., relieved Lieutenant Colonel Briggs, who had been assigned to the Staff College at Langres. When Colonel Connor was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and assigned to the G3rd Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Beck became Acting Chief of Staff and Major Smith became Acting G-3. 147 THE TtilHTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR GENEliAL IIAA.N I'LAL'ED IN COMMAND. General llaan was placed permanently in command of the Division in December, 1917, and the same War Department orders assigned Brigadier General E. F. Mc- Glachlin, Jr., to the command of the 57th Field Artillery Brigade. General Mc- Glachlin brouglit the brigade to France, but was transferred to more responsible duties almost immediately, and was succeeded a little later by Brigadier General G. Leroy Irwin, who commanded the brigade in all of its many actions. General Haan was promoted to the rank of Major General on February 7th, 1918, just before he sailed for France. Colonel Boucher, of the 125lh Infantry, was found physically disqualified when he took his overseas examination at Camp MacArthur, and was relieved just before his regiment left for the Port of Embarkation. lie was succeeded by Colonel Am- brose I'ack, formerly of the 31st Michigan Infantry. Colonel Pack took his over- seas physical examination at Camp Jlerritt, and was likewise disqualified, and the regiment was taken to France by Lieutenant Colonel Edward G. Heckel. After the 125th reached its training area in France, Colonel Peter F. Piasecki, formerly of the Fifth Wisconsin Infantry, was assigned to the regiment, but never assumed command, as a transfer was effected with Colonel Robt. B. McCoy of the 107th Trains, by which Colonel McCoy went to the 125th and Colonel Piasecki became commander of the Trains. Colonel P. S. Bond took the 107th Engineers to France, but almost immediately upon his arrival was assigned to the American Expeditionary Force I-^ngineer School, and Lieutenant Colonel L. H. Callan remained in conimaml until Colonel II. C. Fisk joined the regiment. Several changes were made in the organization of the machine gun units. The 119th Machine Gun Battalion was cut down to two companies, and was made the motorized machine gun battalion of the Division. Major Stanley Piasecki, who suc- ceeded Major Percy C. Atkinson to the command of the battalion when the latter failed in his overseas physical examination, was transferred to the 121st Machine Gun Battalion when the 119th was motorized in -April, 191S, and Major Frank H. Fowlur of the 121st became commander of the 119th. Later Major Fowler was made Division Machine Gun Oflicer and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was succeeded by Major Wm. A. McCullough in command of the 119th. Just before going into Alsace Major Piasecki was transferred to the infantry and Captain Daniel L. Kcmington assumed command of the 121st, later being promoted to Major and attaining the rank of Lieutenant Colonel after the armistice. In the other organizations the commanding officers remained the same, the leaders who had trained the men in Waco taking them into the trenches in Alsace. CHANGES ON FIRING LINE. Once on the firing line, other changes occurred. At his own request. Brigadier General Charles R. Boardman was relieved of the command of the 6! lb Infantry Brigade, and was succeeded by Brigadier General Lejeune of the Marine Corps. General Lejeune commanded the Brigade until July 26th, just before the Chateau Thierry action, when he was promoted to the rank of Major General and placed in command of the 2nd Division. Brigadier General Edwin B. Winans succeeded to the command of the Brigade and held it until his "Les Terribles" were mustered out in 1919. 148 LEADERS OF THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION Colonel John Turner, who had commanded the 128th from its organization until the latter part of June, 1918, was at that time transferred to a school assignment, and was succeeded by Colonel Eobt. B. McCoy of the 125th. Colonel McCoy com- manded the 128th in all of its battles and during the latter part of its service in the Army of Occupation. He brought it back to the United States in 1919. Colonel McCoy was succeeded in command of the 125th by Colonel Wm. M. Morrow, U. S. A. On July 22nd, 1918, just after the 63rd Brigade had been withdrawn from Al- sace, Brigadier General Covell was ordered to a Field and General Officers' School and Brigadier General W. D. Connor was assigned to the command of the Brigade. On July 12th Colonel Kussel C. Langdon, U. S. A., succeeded Colonel Wilbur M. Lee in command of the lS7th, and retained the command until the demobilization of the regiment. The command of the 63rd Brigade changed again in the midst of the drive to the Vesle, Brigadier General IJobt. Alexander succeeding General Connor on August 6th, when the brigade was engaged in firmly establishing itself on the Vesle and attempting to make a crossing of the river. General Connor was transferred to im- portant duty elsewhere. There was only one change in the Division Staff during the Aisne-Marne offensive. Lieutenant Colonel Jerome G. Pillow reporting for duty as G-3 on August 31st, 1918. After the completion of the operation the Division Signal Officer, Herbert L. Evans, who had been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, was given a Corps assignment and was succeeded by Major John Scott, promoted shortly afterwards to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. At about the same time Lieutenant Colonel Glenn R. Garlock of the 128th Infantry, who had won recognition in the fight for Cierges, was transferred to the Division Staff and made Division Inspector. Major Amos T. Ashley became Division Ordnance Officer, and Major Smith, who had been actinjj G-3, was transferred to 5th Corps Headquarters. The command of the 63rd Brigade changed again during the Oise-Aisne Offen- sive. On August 26th, the day before his brigade went into battle. Brigadier General Alexander was promoted to the rank of Major General and assigned to command of the 77th Division, where he was destined to win great fame. He was succeeded by Brigadier General Covell, who had been the first commanding general of the Brigade, and who at the time was on temporary duty with the Division. On August 29th, just as the Brigade was emerging from the front line to the support position, Brigadier General Frank E. McCoy reported with orders assigning him to command of the 63rd, and succeeded General Covell, who left the Division shortly after to com- mand a depot brigade. Colonel Morrow, of the 125th, was wounded at Juvigny on August 29th, and was succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel Heckel. Colonel Morrow returned to the Division on September 9th and was relieved on September 17th, going to the Third Division. Lieutenant Colonel Heckel again assumed command, was later promoted to the rank of Colonel, and commanded the regiment until its demobilization. There were no changes in the Division Staff until just before the Argonne battle, when Lieutenant Colonel John H. Howard, G-1, was detailed to attend the General Staff College at Langres and was succeeded by Major Robert Connor, formerly of the Wisconsin National Guard, who had just returned from the Staff College. CHANGES IN ARGONNE. After the Argonne operation there were two changes in the Division Staff. Lieutenant Colonel Seaman was promoted to Cor]js Surgeon for the Fifth Corps, and was succeeded by Major James Seott, who later was promoted to Lieutenant 149 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR Colonel. Lieutenant Colonel Pepper was also transferred to the Fifth Corps and made Corps Judge Advocate, being succeeded as Division Judge Advocate by Major Fred S. Eogers. While the Division was in reserve of the Fifth Corps after the breaking of the Krienihilde Stellung, Colonel K. B. McCoy of the 128th was evacuated, sick, and when tlie regiment went into action in the Duo-sur-JIeuse bridge-head early in November it was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel John B. Schneller. Lieutenant Colonel Schneller was relieved on November 9th, and the regiment fought during the last two days of the war under Lieutenant Colonel Henry Meyer, later promoted to Colonel. Lieutenant Colonel Meyer took the regiment to its position in the Coblenz bridge-head, where he was succeeded by Colonel Geo. T. Smith. COLONEL WESTNEDGE DIES. Colonel Joseph Westnedge of the 126th was evacuated, sick, just before the bigning of the Armistice, and died in France. lie was the only original regimental commander of the 32nd Division to retain his command from first to last. The regiment started the march to the liliine under Lieutenant Colonel Caziarc, U. S. A. The latter was relieved at Longwy, and Major Guy Wilson brought the regiment to the Coblenz bridge-head. There Colonel Wm. A. Mollison reported with orders to take command, and he brougiit the regiment to the United States. Lieutenant Colonel Chas. II. Williams, Division Quartermaster, was evacuated, sick, while the Division was on the Saar river, just before the march into Germany, and was succeeded by Major J. E. Barzynski, U. S. A. Lieutenant Colonel Howard returned from the Staff College in January and again resumed his duties as G-1. Major liogers. Judge Advocate, was relieved in January. He was succeeded by Major Benjamin Chilton, and later by Major J. A. Howell, who wds promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and remained with the Division until its demobilization. Just before the crossing of the Saar river General McCoy was transferred from tlie ()3rd Brigade for important duty in the Service of Supply in connection with the home- ward troop movement, and was succeeded in command in the Brigade by Brigadier General William R. Smedberg who continued in command until demobilization. In February, 1!)19, Colonel McCoy returned to the Division. At that time Gen- eral Winans of the (J-ith Brigade was away on special duty and Colonel Langdon of the 127th was commanding the Brigade. Accordingly Colonel McCoy was assigned to command of the 127th. Just before the homeward movement of the Division started Colonel McCoy was again transferred to the 128th, Colonel Smith taking charge of the troop movement. Major Cieary, of the 120th Machine Gun Battalion, was sent to the States as an instructor while the Argonne battle was in progress. He was succeeded by Captain Sharp. On the march to the Rhine Major Kossow reported and took command. Major McCullough, of the 119th Machine Gun Battalion, was wounded at Juvigny and evacuated. He joined the command again in time to take tlie batt^ilion into the Argonne, where he was again wounded on the first day of the battle. Cap- tain E. S. Koynolds then took command, retaining it during the balance of the Ar- gonne battle. On the march to the Rhine Major Blossom reported and took com- mand. Lieutenant Colonel Remington remained in command of the 121st Machine Gun Battalion, e.xcept when on other temporary duty, when the battalion was commanded by Captain John A. McCullom. 150 LEADERS OF THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION MANY PROMOTIONS MADE. Most of the changes which from time to timg took place in the commanding officers and staff officers of the Division were due to the transfer of officers to other duties which they were especially fitted to perform. Usually these changes were regarded hy the authority issuing the orders as in the nature of promotions, but it is doubted if an officer ever left the 32nd Division for other work without a feeling of deep regret and a personal wish to remain. This spirit, together with additional light on some of the changes that were made during the career of the 32nd Division, is perhaps well defined in a signed interview which General Haan gave at Seventh Corps Headquarters in Germany to E. A. Bachelor of the Detroit News, a newspaper correspondent who had been with the Division during its training period in the United States and later was accredited to the 32nd in France. The interview follows : PRAISE FOR NATIONAL GUARD OFFICERS. "The 32nd Division, as it went into battle, was composed of approximately three- fourths National Guard and one-fourth drafted men. The spirit of the Division was due entirely to the spirit that was built up in the Division when it was composed wholly of National Guard troops and before it left Camp MacArthur, Texas. In building up a Division spirit the Division Commander had most loyal support and assistance, particularly from the two Brigade Commanders in Infantry, Brigadier General C. R. Boardman from Wisconsin and Brigadier General L. C. Covell from ^[ichigan. To these two officers must also be given credit for energetic work in training their units in accordance with the theory announced by the Division Com- mander and the schedules based upon War Department instructions. "To these officers, as well as to other National Guard officers of high grade, must also be given credit for their conscientious assistance in eliminating officers unfit for war service. Nearly all such officers were eliminated upon the recommendations of National Guard officers, and, where that became necessary, went before Boards com- posed entirely of National Guard officers. "The high spirit of the Division made itself felt even in those early days, because it seemed to me even then that the Division fully realized that we were not training merely in theory, but that we were training to actually go into battle, in consequence of which it became the more important that all officers unfit to lead men for any cause whatsoever had to be gotten rid of. Most of these officers recognized their own deficiencies and willingly quit. To their credit, it should be said that they quit with heavy hearts. Here again came in the spirit of loyalty in these men which was so manifest from the beginning and which grew day by day as the training progressed. "Everyone knows what a heartsick feeling went through the Division upon ar- rival in France, when it was announced that it was to be a Replacement Division. The very heart seemed to drop out of it. Nevertheless the two Brigade Commanders stood firmly by the Division Commander, and told the men that some one had to do this work, and that, in order to do it well, the better trained organizations were, the better it would be for the Army as a whole. With this spirit the Division began to get ready replacements and send them forward. 151 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR SriRIT OF AFFECTION. "During tlie short period that the Division had been a rcphicement Divij^ion, nearly half of its infantry had been taken away, and consequently when it began training for a temporary combat Division again, many replacements had to be moulded into the organizations, including olKcers and nun; but the old spirit of the Division predominated, and it was but a short time — a surprisingly short time — when these new troops, many of them but little trained, not only became efficient in their work, but came to like the Division, and, through a process which seemed almost contagious, never wanted to serve with any other Division. This is the spirit that has constantly existed in the 32nd Division. I have seen no such manifestation of personal liking for each other in any other organization, among men and among officers, as has always manifested itself in the 32nd Division. For these reasons naturally I have become greatly attached to the Division. I frequently feel more or less homesick to get back to it, and I certainly shall feel, if the Division goes home and I stay in France, as if I were an orphan far from home and friends. "I have spoken of the spirit of the Division that was manifest before it entered into any of its great battles. Its conduct in these battles already has been published, but it cannot be too highly praised. Everywhere, always, the results were greater than I had expected, and in many cases equal to what I had hoped for. These successes of course added greatly to perhaps not the affection, but the pride, among the members of the Division, and particularly so with the Division Commander and the Division Staff and the higher commanders. It was this pride, together with the spirit of comradeship and liking for each other, that carried the front line troops many times into and over most difficult obstacles. It was this spirit that overcame the strong position of the Ourcq ; it was this spirit that stormed Fismes and .Tuvigny; it was this spirit that carried the key position of the Kriemhilde Stellung, La Cote Dame Marie. "My own personal liking for the Division on account of its fine response to my attempts for its training naturally grew as time passed, and grew even faster, I think, on account of the rewards that were handed to me by the higher authorities on account of the work of the 32nd Division. I feel very certain that I owe to this Division my promotion to Major General (temporary grade) and Brigadier General in the Regular ,\rmy, and Corps Commander. I have therefore personal reasons which alone would lie sufficient to make me feel grateful to (he men of this Division ; but which are small in comparison to the feeling of admiration and pride that has manifested itself through the entire time, from its organization until the close of its last battle, and on its march to the Rhine." 152 ^^^ Majos General John A.

F THE many words of commendation which the 32nd Division received during its career the expression of admiration which all ranks cherish most is a brief letter from ex-Presidcnt Theodore Roosevelt to Major General Haan, written under date of Septem- ber 13th, and received while the Division was battling its way through the Kriemhilde Stellung. "I most heartily congratulate you, my dear Sir, on the great work of your Division," wrote Colonel Roosevelt. ' "By George, your men have hit hard ! Will you thank the Division for me?" The letter from the former president was in answer to a note from General Haan, written in August, in which the 32nd Division commander reported that "Les Terribles" had conquered from the Germans the territory in which Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt's grave was located. Near the little French village of Chamery this reminder of the brave son of a brave father was found by our doughboys. They passed it in their race from the Ourcq to the Vesle, and when they returned from the front line early in August the spot was in the reserve area to which they were assigned. Reverently they replaced the plain marker erected by the Germans with a made- by-Americans cross. Flowers they brought from the woods near by, and a little fence was built around the grave. This General Plaan reported to Colonel Roosevelt, and the ex-President replied, voicing his gratitude and his admiration for the 32nd Division. When the first brief history of the 32nd Division was published during the Armistice days on the Rhine, the account contained only a few bald facts concerning the accomplishments of the Division, but a place of honor was given to Roosevelt's letter. Before and since, such noted persons as Clemenceau, the Tiger of France, great generals, governors and civic leaders, have said kind things about Les Ter- ribles, but in their hearts they will always cherish above all else the simple, sincere appreciation of one great leader for the soldier.'! of another. PREMIER CLEMENCEAU'S COMMENDATION. Next to the commendation of Col. Roosevelt, the most highly regarded words of praise were perhaps those uttered by M. Clemenceau, prime minister of France. When the Division was at Brest late in March, 1919, M. Clemenceau sent to Ad- miral Moreau, commandant of the port, a letter to be read to I^es Terribles on the occasion of presenting to General Haan and certain members of his immediate staff, the French medal of the Legion of Honor.

On behalf of the French nation Admiral Jloreau decorated General Ilaan with the rank of Commander in the legion of Honor, Brigadier General G. LeRoy Irwin of the 57th Fiokl Artillery Brigade and Colonel Hobt. McC. Beck with the order of Ollirier, and Lieutenant Colonel Paul B. Clemens with the rank of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. The rank of Officier was also awarded Brigadier General Edwin B. Winans of the r)4th Brigade, Colonel Russell G. Langdon of the 127th Infantry, and Colonel IT. B. Fiskc of the 107th Engineers. Colonel Jerome G. Pillow of the G-3 Section, General Staff, Colonel Gilbert H. Seaman, formerly Division Surgeon, Lieutenant Colonel John 11. Howard, G-1 of the Division, and Lieutenant Colonel John Scott, Division Signal Officer, were awarded the medal of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. These officers were not present at Brest, and were decorated elsewhere later. Premier Clemenceau's letter follows: "Ijct me bid farewell to your division before it leaves France, and permit me to address to your unit a message of gratitude. "When decorating your flags with the French War Cross, General Jfangin enumerated some of your deeds and noted that the ()4lh Brigade had been given by its French brothers in arms the glorious name of the "BRIGADE LES TER- RIBLES." "To that testimonial T wish to add a few remarks: From May to November the 32nd Division spent on the firing line one hundred and twenty days, thirty-five of which were during engagements in the hardest battles. Your losses from enemy fire were 14,268. "In the spring you were holding the front line in Alsace. During the summer you fought from the Marne to the Vesle. In the autumn you were in the llont- faucon Woods. On the eve of the armistice you were still delivering an attack. You have met successively twenty German divisions; you have never given up to them an inch of ground. "T salute your glorious flag, I pay to your dead the homage of our thankfulness, and I say to those who leave: bon voyage, good luck in life; and do not forget your French friends." PERSHING COMPLIMENTS 32nd. When the 32nd Division had been placed on the sailing list and was preparing to leave France, General Pershing wrote a personal letter to Major General Lassiter, then in command of the Division, in whieli ho spoke in the most complimentary terms of the great work of the Wisconsin and Mieliigan National Guardsmen. He briefly recited their accomplishments on the field of battle, and paid them a glowing tribute for their soldierly conduct in the Army of Occupation. General Pershing's letter follows: "My dear General Lassiter: "Please extend to the officers and men of the 32nd Division my sincere compliments upon their appearance and upon the splendid condition of the artillery and trans])ortation at the review and inspection on March 15th. In fact, the condition of your command was what would be expected of a division with such a splendid fighting record. 158 • CITED IN ORDERS "After traiuing for several months following its arrival in February, 1918, it entered the line in Alsace and held this sector until the time of the Aisne-Marne offensive, when it moved to that active front. On July 30th it entered the line on the Ourcq, and in the course of its action captured Cierges, Bellevue Farm and the Bois de la Planchette. The attack was resumed on August 1st; the Division captured Fismes and pushed ahead until it crossed the Vesle. On August 28th it again entered the line, and launched attacks which resulted in the capture of Juvigny at the cost of severe casualties. During the j\Ieuse-Argonne Offensive the 32nd Division entered the line on September 30th, and by its persistence in that sector it penetrated the Kriem- hilde Stellung, taking Romagne and following the enemy to the northeastern edge of the Bois de Bantheville. On November 8th, the Division took up the pursuit of the enemy east of the Meuse until the time when hostilities were suspended. "Since the signing of the Armistice the 32nd Division has had the honor to act as a part of the Army of Occupation. For the way in which all ranks have performed their duties in this cajjacity, I have only the warmes.t praise and approval. The pride of your officers and men, justified by such a record, will insure the same high morale which has been present in the Division during its stay in France. I want each man to know my appreciation of the work he has done and of the admiration in which he is held by the rest of his comrades in the American Expeditionary Forces. Sincerely yours, (Signed) John J. Peeshing." General Pershing's letter was written after he had reviewed the 32nd Division in the Coblenz bridgehead in March. Previously, in December, he had made a flying trip through the 32nd area, where the troops were lined up on the roads in the vicin- ity of the villages which they occupied. Several times during the afternoon he left his car and passed along the line of paraded troops, looking them over very carefully. The General had last seen Les Terribles when they were in the thick of the Argonne fight and he came up one day to see how things were going. On that September day he had seen the Division for the first time since July, when he said he liked the snap of General Haan's men. When he visited the Division P. C. in the Argonne he expressed himself as satisfied with the way things were going. HIGH REGARD FOR THE 32nd. "I have regarded the 32nd Division highly since the day you took Hill 230 on the Ourcq when you first went into action," said the Commander-in-Chief. "I was anxious for you to make good, so we could prove to the French that all our divisions were made up of first class troops. You all know how well you fulfilled my expecta- tions, and what an excellent impression you made upon the French. "Then General Mangin wanted you to form the hammer-head of the blow he aimed to strike north of Soissons, and I sent you up there, and you again made good. "Here in this battle you have had a hard task, and you are doing it well. I want you to continue to strike and strike hard, as you have been doincr, and I know vou will." ^ After the Aisne-Marne Offensive General Pershing commended the work of the First and Third American Army Corps in General Headquarters General Orders 159 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR 143, 1918, mentioning each division, including tlie 32nd. General Order 143 fol- lows: "It fills me with pride to record in General Orders a tribute to the service and achievements of the First and Tiiird Corps, comprising the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 26th, 28th, 32nd and 12nd Divisions of tlie American Expeditionary Forces. "You camo to the battlefield at tho crucial hour of the Allied cause. For almost four years the most formidable army the world had as yet seen had pressed its invasion of France, and stood threatening its capital. At no time had that army been more powerful or menacing than when, on July 15th, it struck again to destroy in one great battle the brave men opposed to it, and to enforce its brutal will upon the world and civilization. "Three days later, in eonjunction with our Allies, you counter-attacked. The Allied Armies gained a brilliant victory that marks the turning point of the war. You did more than give our brave Allies the support to which as a nation our faith was pledged. You proved that our altruism, our pacific s])irit, our sense of justice have not blunted our virility or our courage. You have shown that American initiative and energy are as fit for the test of war as for the pursuits of peace. You have justly won the unstinted praise of our Allies and the eternal gratitude of our countrymen. "We have paid for our success in the lives of many of our brave comrades. We shall cherish their memory always, and claim for our history and litera- ture their bravery, achievement and sacrifice. "This order will be read to all organizations at the first assembly forma- tion after its receipt. jqhj^ j_ Pershing, General, Commander-in-Chief." At the review of March 15th which was held for General Pershing in a big natural amphitheater about 20 kilometers east of the Khine, near Dierdorf, Germany, General Pershing presented the Distinguished Service Medal to Major General Lassiter, Brigadier General Winans and Colonel R. McC. Beck. He presented Distinguished Service Crosses to over a score of oflicers and men of the Division to whom .the honor had been awarded. After the presentation ceremonies and the parade which followed, General Pershing gathered the whole Division about him in a huge semi-circle and addressed the troops as follows: "I cannot let the 32nd Division go home without taking this opportunity — without expressing to you in person my sincere thanks and appreciation for the splendid and ofiicient service you have rendered since you arrived in France. It may be that another opportunity may not come to me to say what I feel in my heart, and I am going to occupy a few minutes in your Division and say it now. "When America entered the war we found our Allies in a very low state of morale. The leading men of those nations doubted very much whether they would be able to withstand another onslaught of the Armies of the Central Powers, but our entry gave them a new hope, filled them with fresh determination, and when in the Soissons-Chateau Thiery Ofl'ensive, which the 32nd Division aided in turning from a defensive into an offensive, they found that American stamina, American aggressiveness, American methods and training and American soldierly qualities were something to be considered worth while, — they were given new life and en- couraged to assume a renewed spirit of aggressiveness. On the other hnnd: the enemy learned that ho had a new force to contend with. 160 Colonel K. G. Heckel.

I congratulate your officers and you for the work you have done. ''When you return to your homes after having served here much will lie expected of you, not only m your own locality as to policies there, but also in the nation at large as to higher policies; therefore, prepare to speak for your country's interest when you are asked for advice. A splendid indication of the worth of the principles you have shown here will be displayed when you go back into your ohl or your new positions if you show, in whatever job of whatever places you may be called upon to fill, the same industry and the same spirit you have shown here. It has been a very great honor for me to command an army composed of divisions like this, and now that the time has come for the divisions to break up and the men go to their homes, I can only hope that they will go back possessing the same spirit of idealism with which they fought. For this sjilendid work, I thank you. I thank you for the devotion you have shown; I thank you today in the name of your comrades of the American Expeditionary Force. I thank you. I may say, in the name of the Ameri- can people, who will soon be able themselves to say to you what they think of you and of the work that you have done. I thank you sincerely."

The occasion of this reunion is to bestow upon you a few decorations, meager tokens of the gratitude which the French Republic, the People of France, and the soldiers feel towards you, for the brilliant conduct and the splendid courage you displayed in taking the town of Juvigny, the memory of which will remain forever intact with us, and which will place in history the glorious deeds of the 32nd Division and of its able and valiant Chief, General Haan. "You are going back to your noble country, proud to have accomplished your task for its sake and for the sake of humanity. "Take back with you the assurance of continued friondf^hip and the eternal gratitude of France." THE BRIGADE CITATIONS. The citations on which the infantry regiments and machine gun battalions of the Division were decorated follow: "63rd Infantry Brigade. "The G3rd United States Infantry Brigade, composed of the 125th and 12Gth Infantry Regiments and the 120th Machine Gun Battalion, has ac- quired the most splendid titles of glory in the battle of August 28th, 1918, in the vicinity of Juvigny. Scarcely having entered the lines, it dashed for- ward into the assault; the enemy, surprised, became demoralized by the rapidity and vigor of the attack. It proved its superiority in a fierce hand- to-hand struggle where the 125th and 126th Regiments emerged victoriously despite counter-attacks by the enemy. It drove back the beaten enemy as far as the approach of Tcrny-Sorney, while efficaciously supporting the neigh- boring French troops during the attacks from August 31st to September 1st, 1918." "64th Infantry Brigade. "Magnificent brigade, to which the French soldiers fighting by its side have rendered the most beautiful homage in calling it the 'Brigade les Ter- ribles.' Composed of the 127th and 128th Infantry Regiments and the 121st Machine Gun Battalion, it took, in a brilliant and irresistible attack, the village of Juvigny, the 30th August, 1918, and pursued its advance the 31st August and the 1st September, dominating constantly the enemy, in spite of heavy losses, sustaining without faltering the most violent enemy counter- attacks, fighting for three days without stopping, without rest, and almost without food." CHEERING MESSAGES FROM THE STATES. On several occasions while the Division was at grips with the enemy and after the American troops had pressed the war to a victorious conclusion, cheering mes- sages came from the States. 1G5 THE thihty-secdm) ihvi^iox i.\ the would wm: Oh .SO]itenil)cr 8lli. after tlie ;52n(l Division had withdrawn from its second major olFensivu — tliu Oiso-Aisne — the following cahle^'rani addressed to General llaan was received from Governor Albert E.

I'lease convey to officers and men of your Division Miihigiiu's thanks for their gii'at work. Their deeds over there spur us over here. We salute tlieni."' This brief cablegram was publisiied in General Orders No. 88 of the 32nd Di- vision and at tlu> direction of General Ilaan was read to all officers and men as soon as they reached their rest area in the vicinity of Joinville. On October Kith, while Les Terribles were battling for the Ivriendiilde Stellung, the following cablegram was received by General Haan from Governor E. L. I'liilipji of Wisconsin : "The splendid work of your Division cheers our hearts. On behalf of the people of this state, I congratulate you, your officers and men, and ask you to express to our Wisconsin boys our deepest love and alfection." This cablegram was ])ublisbed in Cieneral Orders 94 of the Division, and was read to all officers and men. WISCONSIN LKa; I SL.\TURK PAYS TIM BUTE.

The resolution was passed by the Wiscon- sin Legislature, then in session. General Tjassiter ]niblished the resolution to the Division in General Orders No. 'i',. April (!tli. liHI*. The resolution follows: "■WiiKHE.vs, in the world war just brought to a victorious end, the Wiscon- sin National Guard, iueorjiorated in the Thirt^'-second and Forty-second Army Divisions, were among the firs.t American troops to land in France and confront the German enemy, and "WiliciiE.vs. in Alsace, and in the advance fiom the Ourci| to the Vesle, at Soissons, at St. Mihiel. in the Argonne Forest, and the advance to Sedan and the Meuse. in fact in every major operation and victory of the .\mcric;in Army in France, these two Divisions had glorious and vital ])art, and "WiiEUEA.s, the valor, the steadfast courage and fine soldiership of these Guardsmen has caused their Divisions to be rated and commended as among the five shock divisions of the .Vnierii-an .Vrmy oftenest, longest and most scveiely tried of any, and ''WiiicitE.vs, Other thou.' 1 S. Tlie cablegram follows : "In behalf of the people of Waco I congratulate you and your command. W'e hope you will be returned to Camp MacArthur for a demonstration of Waco's a])preciation." GENERAL ILVAX'S WORDS OF PRAISE. After each of the major offensives in which the Division particijjated. General Haan took occasion to comment, in General Orders, on the work accomplished. These General Orders recited the achievements of the troops, praised their fortitude and courage, and expressed the Division Commander's satisfaction with the results. That these General Orders were not mere matters of form, but were words of sincere appreciation, was indicated by the fact that General Haan often took occasion, while commending his men, to point out deficiencies the correction of which would make the 'S2nd even more efficient in battle. The Division's first major operation in the Aisnc-JLirne OITensivc was followed by General Orders 7fi, 1918, issued on August Tth, the day the troojis were being withdrawn from the line. This order follows: ''Li the first serious -encounter of tliis Division with the enemy in offensive operations in open warfare, the work and conduct of the Division lias been eminently satisfactory. In a campaign of eight days, during which there has been constant fighting or pursuit, the endurance of the men has liecn put to a severe strain. At no time during this period was there an indication of a lowering of the high spirit with which the Division started. The Division occupied the ctitire front of the Corps sector, and during the eight days threw the enemy back more than 18 kilometers, capturing in the neighborhood of 100 prisoners, 2 cannon and many machine guns, together with immense quantities of ammunition and other war sup- ])lies. The Division had a considerable number of casualties, but we have actually buried more of the enemy dead tlian our own total number in killed. Tliis shows that the men have a])preciated and understood the training in offensive spirit and war of movement that it was the ])olicy to convey to them during the brief jieriod of 1i-aiiiing in Frniu-e. 1C7 CdLii.NtL William Mollison, liifaiitrv; Comiimcided 126lli lufaiitiy; March to thu Khinis Aniiy of OccupBlion.

When tliese points were captured the entire line rapidly retired. The conduct of the men in capturing these two places was magnificent. The positions fell only after hard fighting which required courage, endurance and skill. "We have yet many deficiencies, but the work already accomplished is one to be justly proud of, and the Division Commander, who has supervised the organization and training of the Division, is well satisfied with the work accomplished, and he feels confident that after a brief period of rest for equipment and a little training as to more scientific methods of attack, to minimize as much as possible our losses, this Division will be much better qualified to again take its place in the front line than it was July SOth. "The Commander-in-Chief has expressed his desire that after an engage- ment prompt report be made of all casualties, and prompt report be also made of any heroic deeds performed by individuals which should be recognized by the awarding of Congressional medals. The Division Commander, therefore, desires that immediate steps bo taken by all commanding oilicers to render reports in the form already prescribed (see See. 11, G. 0. 67, current series, these headquarters). Great care must be taken in the preparation of these reports, in order that there may be as little delay as possible in getting action." FREXCH COEPS COMMANDER CONGRATULATES 32nd. After the first blow had been struck in the Oise-Aisne Offensive, General Haan, in Par. 2 of General Orders 84, 1918, published the following: "The Division Commander desires that the congratulations of the French Corps Commander on the fine work that the Division has done be communi- cated to all officers and men of this command. "The Corps Commander is very much pleased with the results accom- plished, and has sent his personal congratulations to the Division, through the Division Commander, by an officer of the Corps Staff. The Commanding Gen- eral desires tliat this order be communicated to all troops at as early a date as possible." On September 5th, when the 32nd Division had been withdrawn from the Oise- Aisne Offensive after capturing Juvigny and driving through the enemy lines to a depth of 6 kilometers. General Haan expressed his satisfaction to his troops in Gen- eral Orders 87, as follows: "In tlic task accomplished by the 32nd l')ivision with the Tenth French Army the Division has again demonstrated its fighting qualities, and has shown, moi-e than in its previous operations, the results of scientific training. resulting in more perfect team work. I have never doubted the courage of the men of the Division, but I have wondered occasionally whether our train- ing has been snfficiently complete to establish proper team-work between all its elements. Tlie team-work in the recent operation worked immensely better than in the Second Battle of the Mame. Tliere was much less straggling, and the Division Surgeon has reported officially from the hospitals and dress- ing stations that among ihe sick and wounded there were no quitters. 109 THE TllinTl'-SECUM) J>J\ISIi>.\ JS THE WOJUJ) II.

You have made a record of which all the memliers of this Division will ever be proud and which will clu'cr our folks at home."' An example of the "common sense" advice that General llaan so fre(|uently imparted to his men and oflicers on the occasions when he lield informal conferences or inspections, both in and out of battle areas, is contained in Genera! Orders 94, issued on October 1.5th, 1918, the day after the 32nd Division had broken through the Kricnihildc Stclhing, advancing the front line some distance ahead of the rarlheniKist gain made by divisions on the right and left. The Division on this occa- sion was very eager to press forward through the breach, and men and officers regarded it as unfortunate that the flanks could not move up.

In General Orders 91, (ieni'ral llaan liad the rollinviiig to say about the comment that the situation developed : "Bad habits are easily foinu'(l. and one of the worst that has come to the attention of the Division Commander is criticism of units that arc fighting alongside of us.

On the following day, October 22ii(l, after General Haan had been over the "billeting area" occupied by his troops, he issued the following General Order, No. 97, 1918: "In my general inspection of tlie infantry troops of the Division yester- day, I was more than pleased with the cheerful and wideawake spirit found everywhere; also by the well-formed habit of proper rendering of salutes. "The appearance of the uniform must be made the best possible under the difficult situation. Well-trained troops can make themselves look military even in old and badly used up uniforms, and nothing less is satisfactory in the 32nd Division. "We are to receive at once a considerable number of replacements, and every effort must be made to immediately inspire these new troops with the fine fighting spirit of the Division. All officers, non-commissioned officers and privates must unite in bringing the instruction, training and discipline of these troops up to the highest possible standard, and our Division will be a better fighting unit than ever before. "The enemy must be defeated, and wherever our Division is placed in the line it must accomplish its missions. This can only be done by the highest discipline, training and a proper development of the fighting spirit." GENERAL SUMMERALL THANKS "LES TERRIBLES." The same day, October 22nd, General Haan received from the Headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps a letter from Brigadier General W. B. Burt, Chief of Staff of the Corps, conveying the thanks of Major General Charles P. Summerall, the Corps Commander, for the work of the 32nd Division in breaking through the Kriemhilde Stellung and taking its objective. The letter of commendation follows : "The recent long service of the 32nd Division in the front line of the Fifth Army Corps has been characterized by such a fine example of soldierly effort that the Corps Commander commends you and your soldiers for it. "Under extremely difficult circumstances, and over a rough, hilly and wooded terrain, the Division broke through the enemy's strong lines, the Kriemhilde Stellung, and reached and took its objectives. "This effort and the result accomplished speak for themselves, but that you and your men may know that the Corps Commander appreciates their exertion, and acknowledges their success, he thanks each one." This letter was published to the Division in a General Order. It was for the strategy shown in this o])eration that General Haan was subse- quently decorated with the Distinguished Service Medal. "FIRST IN WAR AND FIRST IN PEACE." Like the "Father of his Country," the 32ud Division was "first in war and first in peace." The conduct of "Les Terribles" in battle was no less excellent than the discipline and good order which they maintained on the dreary grind of the march to the Rhine. On December 10th when tiio first elements of the Division had reached the famous river which was the Third Army's goal, General Orders Xo. Ill, 1918, were issued by command of Major General Lassiter: 173 THE rilJRTY-SECOyi) DIVISIOX IX THE WORLD WAR "The Division has completed its marcli to the Rhine. Leaving tlie bat- tlefields on the Meuse on Xoveniher 17tli it marched to and across the (Jrand Duchy of Luxendnirg, and crossing into German territory on Decem- ber 1st, it reached the Khine on December IDlli. Throughout this long march and its many difficulties the Division has kept closed up, prepared for action, and it now stands on the Khine concentrated and ready for whatever may come. This feat will stand among the many memorable achievements of the Division. Hereafter, officers and men will recall it with pride. "It is with sincere pleasure that the Division Commander records this accomplishment, and testifies to the fine spirit, characterizing all ranks, which has made it possible." '•ELITE" DIVISIOX COM I'LLMENTED. After General Pershing had inspected the 32nd Division on the Rhine in March he expressed his pleasure, in conversations with the Corps and Army Commander, at the condition in which he found the troo])s. The Commander-in-Chief insjiecfed the Eirst and Second Divisions, the other divisions in the Third (bridge-head) Corps, at the same time, and his remarks, after his visit to his elite divisions, resulted in the letters published in General (jrdei's "J".', Headipiarters '.Vim] Division, March 24th, 1!)18, as follows: Nil. 22. 1. Tl.c l'(illii\viiiS. Division knaves the zuiir of llaute Al- sace, tlie Coiiimandiiig General of the 40th Army Corps wishes to express to the Commanding (General of the Division and to his troops, the great satisfac- tion he has e.\])erienced in liaving them under his command. "By the courage, the e.vcellent spirit, the perfect hearing, the zeal to gain knowledgi', of which they have given proof in all circumstances, these troops have shown all that can he expected of them under a commaml such as that of General Daan. "The :Vhu\ U. S. Division leaves for coming liattlcs, and i.nr hest wishes go with them. The General, the officers and the men, know that they are taking with them the affection and the esteem of the French troops of the zone with whom they have collaborated in a spirit of such cordial comrade- ship, and the gratitude of the people of Alsace, whom, together with their brothers in arms, they will contribute to return definitely to their country." THE FIRST "CITATION." During its tour of duty in Alsace the 32nd was closely associated with the 9th French Division, commanded by General Gamelin. On October 29th General Gamelin sent to General Haan. a liricf oi' accouni ol' llic opci-ations of the Ofli French Division after leaving the sector of Alsiu-c. In Iransnntting the rei)ort General Gamelin wrote: 175 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "Six months ago the 32nd U. S. Division and the 9th French Division were called upon to work together in the calm sector of Haute Alsace. That was at the time when the enemj' was hurling divisions en masse upon the Anglo-French forces, in the hope of obtaining a decision before the great American Army could enter into action. "Together we followed with anxiety the fortunes of the fight which others engaged in on the roads to Amiens and Paris; together we desired to be thrown into the great battle, side by side. But our desires could not be realized, and at the decisive hour, the 32nd U. S. and the 9th French entered the line separately. ''However, last August echoes of the splendid part played by your troops in the victorious ofTcnsive reached us. Personally, I had the great pleasure of meeting you and expressing my congratulations. The officers and soldiers of the 9th French Division were happy and proud to learn that their Amer- ican comrades had, with them, taken part in the success upon the great battle- field whose name will always remain immortal^'Tlie ilarne.' "Since that time the Divisions have followed their separate destinies. I have thought that you would be glad, in order to continue the chain of our cordial relations, to learn the history of our movements since we separated. This is the object of the modest account which I send you herewith, which will allow you to see that the 9th French Division endeavored whole-heartedly, and with all its energy, to accomplish its part of the common task. "We entertain the hope that you will, in exchange, let us know the ex- ploits of the 32nd IT. S. in the great struggle which already the dawn of vic- tory is beginning to light up. "With my personal regards to you, my dear General, will you be good enough to accept for your officers, and for your soldiers, the ever faithful good wishes of the officers and soldiers of the 9th French Division." PKOUD TO COMMAND AMERICANS. During and after the Aisne-Marne Offensive commendatory orders were fre- <|uently issued by the French Army and Corps commanders under whom served several American divisions in the great battle. As in General Pershing's order, the troops of the First and Third Corps were grouped for words of praise. Among the most cherislied of these orders is a General Order of the 3Sth French Corps of the Sixth French Army, under which the 32nd gained its name of "Les Terriblcs." The order was signed by General L. de Mondesir, commanding the 3Sth Corps, and com- mended the 32nd and 28th (Pennsylvania National Guard) troops as follows: "The time having come for him to turn over the zone of battle to Gen- eral Bullard, commanding the Third Corps, American Expeditionary Force, General de Mondesir, commanding the 38th French Corps, addresses all his thanks to the splendid troops of the 28th and 32nd Divisions, American Ex- peditionary Force, who have proved during the pursuit, which is still being continued, not only their courage, but also their staying fjualities. "The casualties, tlie toils and the hardships due to the difficulties of bring- ing up rations during the marching and fighting of this period, were unable to break their high morale, their dash and their warlike spirit. "General de ^Inndesir is proud to have had the opportunity to command them. He hopes that the day will come when he will have them next to him as comrades in our common fight." 176 CITED IN ORDERS AMERICANS MADE VICTORY POSSIBLE. The day tlie armistice went into effect, when the 32nd Division and the 15th French Colonial Division went in line side by side east of the Meuse, General Haan and General Guerin, who oominanded the Colonials, exchanged felicitations. General Guerin's letter to General Haan follows: "General Guerin, commander of the 15th French Division of Colonials, sends to the General Commanding the 32nd IT. S. Division, his personal thanks, as well as those of his entire Division, for the kind letter of congratu- lations of November 11th, 1918, received by him. "We are happy to celebrate victory in conjunction with the splendid soldiers of the United States. "The indomitable energy and tenacity of the French troops, sustained without weakening for over four years, against a formidable enemy, prepared the way for victory. "The entry into line of the American Army, coming out of the waves of the ocean like a miracle, and arriving with all the verve of its vigorous youth, with strength and dash which were irresistible, made victory rapid and decisive. "This has cemented the union of the two great peoples, already bound by close ties, forever." FRENCH OFFICER'S STORY OF FIGHT. An interesting account of the Division's advance from the Ourcq to the Vesle, written by a French officer, was incorporated in the official report of the Aisne- Marne Offensive submitted by General Haan to the Commander-in-Chief. The author, Lieutenant de Tessan, was on duty as an instructor attached to the American forces, and his account of the battle was made in the form of a report to the Chief of the Information Section of French G. Q. G. His report went through the Headquarters of the Sixth French Army where it was marked "Seen and approved" by the Army Chief of Staff. Lieutenant de Tessan, who wrote under date of August 9th, entitled his account "The March of an American Division on Fismes." As in General Haan's official reports, Lieut, de Tessan had the advantage of writing while the facts, which he obtained from personal observation, were fresh in his mind. He wrote, from notes made on the ground, as follows: "Forced to beat a general retreat, after our counter-offensive of 18th July, the Germans have tried to make a stand at the Ourcq, and, on the heights which overlook the river, have held some furious fights. However, under the repeated blows of our Allies, they were obliged to give way, and then, be- ginning on 3()th July, the enemy commenced a falling back movement in the direction of the Vesle. Definitely thrown back from the heights of Seringes, and from Hill 230, northeast of Sergy, they were subjected to an energetic push on the part of American elements, fresh and in high spirits and ready to descend the slopes of Ronchercs, while the Frencl-i, on their right, were advancing through the Meuniere Woods. "It is the action of the American Division, which marched from Ron- cheres to Fismes, progressing almost parallel with the road marked out by Coulonges, Cohan, the Longueville Farm, St. Gilles, that wc are follow- ing from 30th July — date of its debut in the sector — until 5th August, when it entered Fismes. 177 TJII-: riiiin y-sh:c().\i> nnisiox /-v riii-: would ir.i/; niE RKU Aituow piinuiNc; the c;kuman links iuom the oukcq to the vesle.' 178 CITED IX (Jh'DERS ''It is interesiiig to note that in this Division were included regiments composed in majority of men originating from Wisconsin. This means that among them were large numbers of German-Americans, who, by giving their blood for the United States, gloriously affirmed their loyalty. "On the ;iOth, they began their operations in the fighting sector, by attack- ing the (Jrim]x?ttes Woods, after a short ai'tillery preparation, and they at- tained the southeastern point of the woods. But the Germans were de- termined not to let go without a stubborn resistance. They soon counter- attacked and pushed hack the Americans" advanced elements. The iighting became extremely close, and some hand-to-hand fighting followed. "It was not imtil the morrow, 31st, that the entire woods fell to the hands of the Americans. The machine-gun nests which intei'dicted their march on Cierges had been smashed or reduced; tiie way was clear. Now installed in the Jondjlettes woods, the enemy, by bis well-feil fires, was trying to retard the advance of the Americans. "Cierges is situated in a hollow. Therefore the Germans, after evacu- ating the village under a strong pressure, were showering it with gas shells. However, the Americans did not stop in Cierges. They passed this unfavor- aide position, and by a single rush they climbed up the inclines north of the village. Then, after a short pause, they jjartly cleared the Jomblettes Woods. "In the meantime, the French were advancing on the right, and debouched from the Jleuniere Woods, which they had thoroughly cleaned up. KEEN AT IXFAXTIJV MANEUVER. "On the 1st of .\ugust, the Americans had a new series of obstacles to overcome, the most important of which were the Reddy Farm and Hill 330. In the course of the first engagements, they had already shown a keen sense of the infantry maneuver, seeking the tactical means most sure to attain their objective, and giving proof of precious qualities of initiative and imagination. Add to this the fact that they used with skill the machine guns, the automatic rifles, the light mortars of accompaiiiiiient. 'J'his is why they mastered the German defenses once again. "Hill 230 was taken in a superb manner, and 70 prisoners were added to the tally. "Frnm then nn, the enemy lied and (ipjuised b\- feeble I'i'ar-guards the advance of the Americans. The latter swept them on their wav, and took Chamery, T.^' Jloiicel. \'illome, Cohan, without great ditliculty. .\t Cohan, the Gernuuis hung on for several hours, but were forced to give up toward tile end of the day, the Americans having reached the heights north of Dravegny. Conseijuently a progress of (> to 7 kilometers had been efTecled during that day of the 2nd of August. For 12 hours tlie infantry had been engaged in uninterrupted figliting, in s])ite of the dilTiculty of bi'inging up rations and sujiplies, there- being l)ul a single narrow road which coidd be used by the convoys, and heavy rains having rendered the roads very bad. "In spite of the fatigue and prixations of the leading units, the ])ursuit of the Germans was taken up again al (lay-break, on 3rd .August. Easilv enough, tlie line which |)asses through Les F.ouleaux was reached. lUit then the enemy turned around and faced the .Americans with numerous machine- gun sections and a powerful artillerv, whieb ■^hnwei-ed Ihe \illages cif the valley, the cross roads, the i'a\ines. 170 TUE TllIKTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD WAR "It became necessary to proceed with a methodical rolling back of the enemy, and maneuver around his strong points, whicli permitted the Ameri- cans to reach the slopes north of ilont Saint Martin and of St. Gilles. The Division had therefore added to its gains 7 kilometers in depth. LAST SUPHEME EFFORT. "A last and supreme effort was to bring it to Fismes and the Vesle River. "On 4th August, the infantry combats opened with unheard of bitterness. The outskirts of Fismes were strongly held by the Germans, whose advanced groups were very hard to take. The Americans persevered in their endeavors to reduce them with their light mortars and a few 37 mm. guns, and they succeeded, not without trouble, toward the end of the day ; and, thanks to this slow and tenacious pressure, they were, at one kilometer of Fismes, masters of Villesavoye and of the Chazelle Farm. "During the whole night the rain impeded their movements and rendered harder their task for the next day. "On the right, by similar jumps, the French had conquered the series of woods and undulations of the Meuniere woods east of St. Gilles, and were then on the plateau of the Bonnemaison Farm. On the left, another Ameri- can unit had succeeded in reaching the Vesle, to the east of Saint Thibaut. "On 5th August, the artillery prepared the attack on Fismes by a well regulated bombardment, and the final assault was launched. The Americans penetrated in the city and began the very hard task of reducing the last remaining 'isles' of resistance. Evening saw the task nearly accomplished. \Vc held the entire southern part of the city as far as the Reims road, and l)atrols were searching the northern part of the city. A few patrols even succeeded in crossing the Vesle, but they only made a simple reconnaissance, the Germans then occupying very strongly the right bank of the river. There then remained nothing but the complete cleaning up of Fismes and fortifying of ourselves therein, against an offensive return of the enemy. "Such was the march of an American Division, which having started from Roncheres on 30th July, and having victoriously covered 18 kilometers, crowned its success by the taking of Fismes." FRENCH NEWSPAPER PRAISE FOR "LES TERRIBLES." Newspaper articles, both French and American, frequently i-eferrcd to the ex- ploits of the 32nd Division. The articles written by the American journalists were, of course, read by everybody at home, and came back, in magazines and newspapers and clippings from home, to the troops abroad. Some of the French articles, how- ever, were not translated for publication in the United States. In General llaan's personal files is a translation of an article published in "Le Petit Parisien" on August IGth, 1918, just after the 3'2nd Division had made its spectacular drive from the Ourcq to the Vesle. The article is entitled "La Brigade Terrible" and was published on the front page of the great French daily. The writer was a famous French war correspondent who had recently been the guest of the Division. His "story" follows: " 'The fighting, the wild, the terrible in combat' and 'savage' — thus has been called the G4th Brigade to which we had been conducted, while it was in support, after it had taken such a brilliant part in the recent operations 180 CITED IN ORDERS against the villages which had been destroyed to such an extent that they were practically crumbling to pieces. The Brigade was eneampd in a wood, the shattered trees of which showed only too plainly what havoc the shells had wrought. "This 'savage' Brigade, composed of volunteers from Jlichigan and Wis- consin, is, as a matter of fact, made up of men of intellect to a very great extent, many of them being university students. To an air in which are mingled fragments of student songs, melodies dating from the days of the war against Spain, and a few notes of the 'Marseillaise', they have composed an attractive marching song, in which the Emperor of Germany is advised to look out for them, " 'The Kaiser has no chance " 'We'll shoot him in the pants'," etc. "They have evidently amused themselves in composing pieces of this kind with the idea of giving the impression that they are old campaigners! As a matter of fact, the 64th Brigade, after a stay of six months in France, made a magnificeut showing when under fire for the first time, and neither the French, who fought beside them, nor the enemy, whom they hurled aside, will dispute their right to the title of 'terrible.' This Brigade was engaged for a period of nine consecutive days. In order to proceed to the attack more quickly, these 'doughboys' as the Infantrymen are called, only took their ammunition along with them. During these nine days, they were only able to have small quantities of food three times. When relieved, their strength was exhausted but they had conquered a large area. "Here they are today, still near the battle line, and they have completely regained their usual calm and serenity. After what they saw and what they did, the German aeroplanes, which only the previous evening had bombarded the wood — but luckily without success — do not bother them much. The charming cordiality of their welcome reminds us that there are young men of learning and of literary ability among these 'savages.' " 'These aeroplanes are annoying, however," one of them confessed to us. 'They deprive us of every form of amusement when we do not want to go to sleep. No noise, no light of any kind — that is the order. This idea, there- fore occurred to us. In our company we have instituted this game : whoever can sing in the deepest voice — in one hardly audible, but in such a way that the tune and the words are recognizable — is the winner.' "They have reminiscences in abundance. One of their officers recounted to us certain characteristics significant of the energy and decision of these fighters of yesterday. "There were two men who, because of their enthusiasm, suddenly found themselves among the Germans. Without the least hesitancy, they sprang upon the machine gunners, killed them, and turning the machine gun around, one of them fired it while the other fed the strips. Thus they held the enemy at bay and cleared the way for their comrades. Liaison was established between companies with unbelievable boldness. Three patrols, whidi had lost their w-ay, put an entire German platoon to flight. A doctor, who was proceeding under fire at the head of a group of stretcher-bearers, found a soldier entirely covered with blood, whose face no longer seemed like that of a human being. 181 77//v' Tlllirrr-SECOND DIVISION IN Till': WonLI) ir.lA' .ME5N1L ^C>..N W.-V^kS-ux iTBRN-Y-1 rUK UKD ARROW PIEHC'IXG Hli; l.NKMV LINKS Al JLMU.W. 182 CITED L\ ()I!l>i:i!:< '' 'We must ciirrv him bnek,' s;ii(l the mcilii'al olliccr.

"Xearly every American regiment has a mascot, which is generally an animal of some kind. A regiment of Marines is greatly attached to an ant- eater which it brought from Mexico. Others have goats, curious looking dogs, or donkeys. The (54th Regiment outdoes these ; its mascot is a young French boj', about twelve years old, whom it has adopted. The story of this young- ster, the son of a French soldier killed in action, is an especially tragic one, for he had become lost and had suffered greatly until the Americans found him. Today he is the idol of all the soldiers. He has been given a khaki shirt, military breeches and wrajiped leggings. The regiment act as hi.- family, and they have decided to educate him. He has begun to learn English quickly in order to know his adopted fathers even better. He is devoted to them, endeavors to help them in every possiltlo way, and boasts that he is already half American. He w^as angry only once; that was when he was compelled to remain behind, during an al(acl<, when \u- insisted that he had the right to remain with the troops. "'The next time." he told us, thinking that his big friends had not over- heard him. Til find a way of slipping in with them.'" r.h'KMlTKST CKM OF .VMKIMC.W .\I;.\1V. Another French newspaper artit:le by which (ieneral llaan sets great stm-e was published in "Le Matin,"' one of the largest and most inlluential of the daily paj)ers of Paris, on Se])tendier 8th, just after the l!".!nd Division had been withdrawn from the Oise-Aisne Offensive. .\s the :i2m\ Division was the oidy .\merican unit opei-- ating with the French army on this front at the time, the writer means the .'i^'ud 183 HIE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD WAR whenever he refers to the exploits of Americans in this battle. The statement of Genera! Mnngin, which he quotes, was made to a party of Freneh and American correspondents, and was published in the United States, but the 'Mm\ Division was, of course, not mentioned specifically at the time, because of the censorsliii) regulations, although reference was made to Michigan and Wisconsin ^'ational Guaidsmen being ])resent on the front. In fact the War Department announced that it was General llaan's troops who took Juvigny and advanced to Teniy-Sorny. Ijc Matin's article follows: "The results were very fine: all the Tardenois, a part of the Soissons, is recaptured, and the German forces shaken in such a way as to be hojielessly demoralized. But the retreat of the Boche and their pursuit did not take place everywhere at the same pace. "North of Soissons, and between the Aisne and the Foret de Saint-Gobain, the Germans hung on tenaciously to all the strong points which constitute the advance posts of the Chemin des Dames, an indispensable buttress of their probable line of resistance. Therefore, one of the brightest gems in the history of the American Army is_the conquest of the plateau of Juvigny and Terny-Somy, which allowed our troops to penetrate into the Foret de Coucy. "One can scarcely imagine the difficulties of the fighting in this countn' to the north of the Aisne, with deep valleys in between chalky crests, and honeycombed with holes making admirable machine-gun shelters. The artillery action against them was less efficacious than one would suppose. Xo matter how the terrain was churned by shell fire, it was always possible to move these light machine guns, which are capable of pouring down a deadly rain of bullets at 2,.500 metres, along the communicating trenches. When in action these machine guns literally rain bullets, and when soldiers are called upon to cross this curtain of fire, those who have crossed the most dense artillery barrages hesitate and think twice before crossing such a deadly zone. Add to this, the fact that the gas which the Germans now send over is carried by shells which burst without making any noise. One does not die from the effects of this gas, but one is so suffocated or burned that it is humanly im- possible to hold the line, and unfortunately the mask is not an absolute pro- tection ; the least opening in the mask allows the gas to penetrate to the skin, and, as it frequently happens, one is taken unawares by the silent burst- ing of the shell and intoxicated before one has had a chance to take pre- cautions. "The above will perhaps allow the readers to understand the immense efforts necessary to conquer these crests one after the other, after having destroyed the machine-gun nests by the use of the bayonet. The tanks, it is true, lend to the infantry a precious support, but it ofon happens that they cannot be used on such abrupt slopes. AMEEICAN DIVISION NEVER DAUNTED. "Nevertheless, the keenness and fighting spirit of the American Division never was daunted. On the contrary, the difficulties seemed to stimulate them and the only reproach that can be adjudged them is that of an excess of young ardor. It is certain that their losses might have been much less had they been more patient and more prudent. Experience in war will teach them little by little to attain the same results without sacrificing so much heroism. 184 CITED IN ORDERS ''The ft'ats of bravery tliat might be cited are iniiunierable, but the 'dougliboys' do uot like to have one be astonished at what they do with such good humor and in sucli a natural way. Keally, they go into combat as though it were a game, and if the game were not so terrible I might say that the relief of a regiment which leaves a line of fire to go into rest, with all these young men, tall and straight, wearing the flat cap of the soldiers of Cyrus, the brown shirt rolled back over their brawny arms, tired most certainly, but smiling and calm, is one of the most beautiful sporting spectacles that one could wish to see. "Listen, however, to what General Maiigin, who has seen them fight, thinks of them. This is the statement, word for word, which he gave to the War Correspondent who interviewed him: GENERAL MANGIN'S GLOWING TRIBUTE. " 'The American troops can be proud of what they accomplished on the plateau of Juvigny. They showed the same qualities of cour- age and tactical skill as those who fought at Chateau Thierry in the month of July. The American artillery acquitted itself well in the preparation before the attack, while the infantry displayed admirable courage and dash. Moreover, the General Staff made its strategic dispositions with consummate skill; it laid its plans before me prior to the attack and I accepted them without any change or additions. The enemy attached great importance to this battle of the plateau. He concentrated there his best troops and reinforced them with Guard Divisions, the 1st, the -Ith, the Chasseurs and elements of dismounted cavalry. He considered the plateau of Juvigny as the keystone of his line of defense on the west. The Americans carried it like a whirlwind. America has a right to be proud of its children, and I also am proud to have them in my Army.'" COMMENDATIONS FOR AKTILLERY BRIGADE. Whenever the 32nd Division was commended, all of the elements of the 32nd Division, including the 5Tth Field Artillery I'rigade, were included in the commen- dation, as every unit of the Division was present in each of the nuijor actions in which the Division participated. In addition to sharing in the words of praise uttered on behalf of their Division, the four regiments in the 57th Field Artillery Brigade — the 11 nth, 120th, 121st and llTth — also were especially commended on several occasions by the commanders of other Divisions to whom the artillery brigade of Les Terribles was from time to time attached. In the Aisne-Marne Offensive the 57th Brigade served the 28th and 77th Divisions after the 32nd had been withdrawn from the line, and sustained a number of casual- ties in the incessant artillery duel which tke German and Allied guns carried on during the period of stabilization on the Ourcq. For the assistance given, the com- manders of the 2>Sth and 77th Divisions expressed tiicir gratitude, which was indorsed by General Rullard. the American Corps Commander. After the 32nd bad taken Juvigny and had been relieved by the Second Jloroccan Division, which included as one of its units the famous Foreign I^egion, the 57th Brigade remained in line and supported the Moroccans in their attack, blasting a way for the charge of the Foreign Legion in the salient which the Red Arrows had 185 THE Tiiiirry-SECOMi n/vismx /.v ri/i-: would wai; •THE lucD Aiiitow PiKiu'i.Nt: nu: kiiik.miiii.ue-steliaxg/ 18G cLTi'.n IS onDh'ns foniuil.

C."s of tlie 1-f Tth and the Jloroecan Division were located in the same cave, and the Staffs got to know each other intimately during the few days that they were close neighhors. The Commanding (ieneral of the 7!)th T^. S. Division, whose troops wei'e sup- ported by the oTth F'ield xVrtillery Brigade when the Division jumped olf on the opening day of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, praised the brigade for its wonderful work in literally dragging its guns across Xo Man's Land to follow in close support of the victorious infantry. This was an effort which piit to the test the best that was in the artilleryman, and be it said to the credit of tlie 57th Brigade that it was among the first to get its guns across and again into action. \\'hen the Brigade became a unit of the artillery of tiie F'irst Army, after ])artici- jiating in the opening of the attack on Xoveniber 1st, the Army Commander made it known that he appreciated the spirit with which th*^ .■)7th "carried on" until the last ounce of its material was used up. Its guns were worn out, it had not sufficient horse-flesh left to move, but the personnel, tired and weary as the men were, remained, in the expressive parlance of both doughboy and red-leg, "rarin' to go." But to go was impossible, and the Brigade was left behind the while the First Army swept on, across the Meuse and to Sedan. And when the 32nd Division was desijrnated to go forward to the Khine. the .")7th Field Artillerv was forced to bear, with the best grace possible under the circumstances, the knowledge that another had taken its place in the ranks of "Les Terribles." Tlie 07111 was finally moved back to the Service of Supply, and assigned to the 9tli Army Corps. There, when at last relieved to rejoin the homeward-bound .32nd, the following letter of commendation was sent to Brigadier General (J. Leroy Irwin by Major (ieneral Clias. P. Summerall, then commanding the Ninth Corps: COMl'LIMKXTS OF !)tii COIU'S COMMANDER. "Upon the relief of the r)7th Field Artillery Brigade from the Hth Army Corps, in comiiliance with orders from higher authority, the Corps C(nu- mander desires to convey to the officers and soldiers of this Brigade his appre- ciation and commendation of the services rendered by the command, not only during its presence with the Cor])S, but tliroughout its ]iarticiiiation in the campaigns of the American P'xpeditionary Forces. The i-eview of this Brigade for the Corps Commajuler, which was held on April 7th, presented an excellent a])pearance and gave abundant testimony of the high morale and soldierly sjiirit that now animates the command. "Tlie Brigade is compo.^ed of the 119th, 12l)tli, 121st ami IKth Field Artillery li'igiments. Tlu' records show thai the Brigade ai-ri\cd in Fi-ance during .March, liMS, juid trained at Camp Coet<|uiden. Firing batteries fi-om this Brigade were furnished to the Ai'tillery Training Camps at Saunnir and at Montigny-sur-Aube during the succeeding year. The ll!)th and 147tli liegiments .served in the Toul Sector from June oth to .June 22nd, 1!)18, in support of the 2()th Division. The entire Brigade .served in fhe Haute .Msace sector from June 12th to July 22nd, supporting the 32ik1 Division. It par- ticipated in the Aisne-Marne Olfensive from .\ugust 1st to August 25tli, sup- 187 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR porting tlio 32nrl, the 2StIi and the TTth Divisions, anrl mlvanccd against resistance 20 kilometers. Without rest, it made a forced march to the Oise- Aisne Offensivo, and supported the 32nd American Division and the First Jloroccan Division from August 2Sth to September Gth. It participated in the capture of Juvigny and Terny Sorny, advancing 8 kilometers. After five days rest at Wassy, the Brigade marched to the Jleuse-Argonne Otfensive, where it supported the 79th, the 3rd, the 32nd and the 89th Divisions, serving continuously, without relief, from September 2(ith to November 8th. During this period, it advanced 26 kilometers and sulTered severely from the cam- paign. It was then withdrawn to a rest area, where it served with the 40th Division at IJevigny, and later with the S8th Division in the Gondrecourt area. "Not only has the Bi'igade performed its full share of duty in the 32nd Division, to which it originally belonged, but it has contributed by its efforts and its sacrifices to the success of other divisions of the American Army. The work of the training batteries at the centers of artillery instruction has been no less valuable in contributing to the success of our arms than that of the batteries engaged in combat, and they are entitled to a full share of the credit which is due the command. "Every officer and soldier may well cherish with pride the privilege of having participated in the momentous events of the campaigns with this Brigade, and its history will be a lasting inheritance to the Army and to the American people. The good wishes and the abiding interest of the Corps Commander will remain with the members of the Brigade in their future careers." INVOLVED IN NO CONTROVERSIES. It is worthy of note that all the commendatory statements which have been enumerated in this Chapter, as well as many others, which, being of no particular historical significance, have not been reproduced, failed to "turn the head" of the Division. In the controversy on "Who Won the War,"' which raged after the Armistice, and in which champions of a nunil)er of Divisions presented their claims in the columns of the American press published in Europe, the 32nd Division took no part. A few of the commendations, especially those of Clcmenccau, Mangin and Pershing, were given to the correspondents by the headquarters issuing the orders, and were published in France and America. However, all newsjjaper articles dealing with the exploits of the 32nd Division were published under the names of the cor- respondents writing them, and were not — nor did they appear to be — inspired by anybody connected with the Division. This policy of remaining aloof from the various controversies in which many Divisions participated was adhered to by the individual officers and men of the 32nd as well as those in authority on the Staff. The result of this policy, plus the amicable relations which always existed between the 32nd and its neighbors at the front, resulted in The Red .Vrrows leaving France with the high regard of their comrades in the American Expeditionary Force. As an Embarkation official remarked, at Brest : "Nobody has anything on the 32nd." This was literally true. In the Army of Occupation the 32nd was "neighbors" to the 1st, 2nd and 42nd Divisions, by common consent the "elite" of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force. With all of these proud and spirited organizations the 188 CITED IN ORDERS most friendly relations were maintained. This was due in part, no doubt, to the fact that in the 1st Division were many officers and men who formerly had belonged to the I'^Sth Infantry, in the 42nd Division was a battalion of the Wisconsin Na- tional Guard and an Ambulance Company from Michigan, and in the Second Divi- sion were many firm friends of the 32nd. To quote from an after-dinner speech made by Colonel Snyder of the famous Fifth Marines, who were on our left in the Coblenz bridge-head: "One of the greatest sonrces of personal satisfaction to me is the friend- ship which has sprung up between these two units of brave fighting men — the 32nd Division and the 5th Marines. Each is a proud outfit with a proud record, and each has for the other a sincere respect and admiration, born of a thorougli knowledge and understanding of the accomplishments which have made us equal sharers in the glory that is ours." The 32nd Division had the more or less unique distinction of having never claimed to be the best division in the American Army, nor, for that matter, to be better than any other of the combat divisions, although that latter claim was made for it by no less an authority than Colonel Frederick Palmer, known as the "war correspondent of the American Expeditionary Force," in his series of articles on the Mcuse-Argonne Offensive. No word of detraction for any other division was ever written by anyone in the 32nd Division, and few, if any, were ever uttered. Perhaps this is why, with its wonderful record of achievement, which might well inspire envy in those less fortunate, the Embarkation official at Brest was able to put form to one of the most significant compliments ever paid the Bed Arrows when he said: "iSTobody has anything on the 32nd." Home-coming encomiums, of course, were multitudinous, with home-town news- papers and welcome-home orators reviewing the accomplishments of the Division and speaking high words of praise for its men. THE SKIPPER'S PRAISE. At a banquet of 32nd Division officers on board the George Washington, home- ward bound early in May, addresses were made by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Mr. Raymond B. Fosdick, Congressman Madden, Bishop Brent, and Captain McCauley of the "President's Ship." In his speech, Captain McCauley paid a compliment to the 32nd Division which those present will no doubt remember as one of the finest ever spoken. His appreciation of Les Terribles was based upon his personal observations, and his estimate of the Division's excellence was made after comparisons witli other troops which the steamship commander had had many op- portunities to make. Early in the troop movement to Europe in 1918, the George Washington took a regiment of the 32nd Division to France, and on that voyage Captain McCauley and his crew first became acquainted with the Michigan and Wisconsin Guardsmen. "I am very glad to have the opportunity of saying what I am going to say in the presence of your Secretary of War and in the presence of your Division Com- mander," said Captain McCauley in closing his talk. "In no voyage which the George Washington has nuide, carrying troops to Europe or carrying them home, have we had on board a contingent which has been the equal of the present one in discipline, adaptability and efficiency, from the point of view of ship organization, 189 Till:: riiiin y-sEcuM) nivisiox i.\ riij: would war potrds ii\ Gern\6.TV ™\« vrkick were pierced t^ ttas D.ed 32NDD[VI3WN.

It has been niv experience that when n;en — soldiers or sailors — are organized, controlled or constituted as the oIKcers and men of this con- tingent have shown theinsehcs to he, those officers ;nid men aie also the best when the real business of war is to be done. The record of the .'V.'nd l)i\ision lias demon- strated this to be true. "1 have heard from my olficers, from my jietty ollicers and men. ami I have myself been impressed by the fact that this contingent of officers and men has more qnickly assumed the habits and daily routine of life on board ship, has learned more readily and observed more carefully the sliip's regulations and customs, than any other troops we have ever had on board. It has been more eager to co-operate with our officers, to accept and carry out suggestions. Tn short, I cannot imagine a body of officers and troops wlio conlil have done their ])art better than have the men now on board. As I said to the Executive Otticer, Commander Perkins, tliis morning, after an inspection in which your Secretary of War, your Division Com- mander and your Commanding Officer of Troops did us the honor to accompany us: " 'Perkins, to my mind, from what we have seen this morning, this ship has become an ideal tniop transport." and that is what all the naval officers and men on this ship have been working for. And now the 32nd Division has come on board and enabled us to accomplish our aim. A\'e could not have realized our andjition without your efficient co-operation, or without the training, experience and discipline which you must have had as a part of the :i'hid Division under irnjoi- (Jeiicral Haau." "LIVEST WIRE WITH TWO STARS." Mr. Fosdick, in his speech, told of a tour which he made of the Army of Occu- pation as a representiitive of the Training Cam]) Activities Committee. "I distinctly remember my meeting with (iciicral llaan on that occasion at the headquarters of the Seventh Corps which he was then comnumding," said Mr. Fosdick. "I asked him about the welfare work in his Corps. He not only told me what was being accomjilished but told me the nuiidier of workers and spoke their names in connection with their several activities. At that time [ made an entry in my note-hook which I shall read to you: " 'The Livest Wire with two stars that I have seen on this trip.' "And in view of my first impression 1 was glad to hear Colonel Beck, your Chief of Staff, say in a conversation on the boat the otlier day: "'General llaan from the staii liad. as a matter of course, (he loyalty of his ollicers and men.

"That indeed is a matter of congralulation : to have the loyalty, confidence, respect, admiration and alfection of a victorious Division with as ]iroud a record as vours !" litl CHAPTER XV. Reading the GeneraFs Mail. UPPLEMENTING his formal reports of the exploits of his Division, the semi-oflBcial reports (as General Haan calls certain letters which he wrote to his friends, in and out of the military service, during the stirring days of the summer of 1918,) contain a large amount of interesting material. General Haan made copies of these letters to his friends which he sent to Mrs. Haan in New York to preserve for future reference, and at the request of the Division historian the letters were made available for such use as might be made of them to amplify the more formal re- ports sent through military channels. In his formal reports of the engagements in which his Division participated, General Haan discussed only the strategy of the immediate front with which his mind was occupied. In his letters to his friends, particularly those to Major Gen- eral Enoch H. Crowder, the famous soldier who was known as the man who "put over the draft," General Haan took a larger view of the situation, and discussed the strategy of the whole front, as affecting the probable employment of his Division. Some of his estimates of the situation show an astonishing insight into the German plan of battle and express a constantly growing confidence in the ultimate success of the allied arms. General Haan's first letter to (ieneral Crowder after the former's arrival in France was written on April 7th, 1!)18. The letter was not written in a prophetic vein, but gave a very clear estimate of wliat General Haan then considered to be tlie objective of the German Offensive. The letter was given considerable circulation among General Crowder's personal friends and associates in official Wasliington; in fact it is reported that the President saw it and was interested and pleased with the views it expressed. In view of subsequent developments General Haan's grasp of the situation in April, 1918, is regarded by military men as truly remarkable. In a number of his later letters he refers to his first estimate, and up to the day of the Armistice when Germany was "licked" — not starved — he saw no reason to change the idea formed when he first came to France and which he put in writing in the following letter: "My dear Crowder: "This sure is some war, but it differs in no essential features from what my estimate had been when I left the United States. Of course, I had formed in my mind a pretty careful picture of what I thought we were going to meet when we got here. 193 THE TIIIETY-SEOOND DIVISION IN THE WOELD WAR "I do not know how you size up the situation at long range, but from my jioint of view tilings look far better than I exix'cted to see them after the fourth day of the German drive. The spirit of the French and British soldiers and of our own I don't believe has ever been as good as it is now, and it will take a great deal more effort to break that spirit. "The reports that have come from America al)0ut the seizure of Dutch ships, the procurement of ships from Japan and the number of now sliijis turned over is the best tonic that has struck the Allied armies. "The Germans have an undoubted superiority in numbers at the present time, but this will not last long if our troops come over as fast as they should under the present arrangement?, and once we catch up in numbers we soon will pass them, and then it will only be a question of time before we will get such a superiority that we will be ajjle to take the offensive and keep it up until the war is over. "We do not believe here that Germany can be starved, but we do believe it has to be licked, and furthermore it can be done provided decision does not come in favor of Germany in its present effort, and that I do not believe will happen. "She has not sufficient superiority in numbers, and her losses must be terrific. What we hope is she will fritter away her ])rescnt superiority in numbers. "Evidently her progress is not in accordance with her plans, which wc have every reason to believe were as follows, in three phases: "1. — To break through the Allied line and practically separate the British and French armies. "2. — To place as tliin a line as jiossible in front of the French army and then crush the British army. "3. — To then turn on the French army, offer them peace again, and if they did not accept it, to crush the French army and peihaps occupy Paris. "The first phase of the battle appears to be over; at least she expected before this time to accomplish the first phase, and if she is unable to accom- plish this first she will not be able to accomplish either of the others, and it looks to me now, as it did when the battle started, that it would be the decisive battle of the war and that Germany could only be successful if she won a complete victory in the first phase. "It may be she considers the first phase still on, but I hope and believe she never will be able to accomplish this first phase, in which case it must be decided the battle was in favor of the Allies, because, as a result of such failure to accomplish the first phase, I believe the Allies will win the war and it will be won by the weight America can put into it in addition to what England can still put in. "I think the length of the war will depend on the length of time it will take America to get from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 men in France, or, in other words, to get 1,000,000 on the fighting line. 194 READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL "I estimate that to put 1,000,000 on the fighting line we will have to have 1,800,000 here, and that will mean replacements of at least 50,000 a month thereafter to maintain that force. "Very sincerely, (Signed) W. G. Haan." Writing to General Crowder under date of July 29th, when his Division was going into battle for the first time, General Haan calmly discussed the success so far attained by the allied counter-attack. "The French counter-attack in the west which began on July 18th was a fine stroke of strategy," he wrote. "Their present attack (referring to the assault planned on the German position on the Ourcq) does not seem to me to be so strategically well planned. It is merely driving in the salient without accomplishing anything much either in the way of capturing munitions or prisoners. It strikes me that if a greater effort had been made to the south of Keims that part of the salient might have been pushed in and more dis- astrous results accomplished for the Germans. "The progress in the attacks from the south have been surprisingly suc- cessful so far. It looks now as if the Germans were attempting at stabiliza- tion in the vicinity of the Ourcq. The French appear to think the enemy can be driven further back. *****" "Reports of prisoners received from widely different parts of the line seem to confirm the view that many of the German divisions are getting quite short in men, and that the Germans are using more and more machine guns to save personnel. They handle their machine guns well, particularly on the defensive. This the American troops have not learned much about, but they are learning every day. * * * " "On the whole, I think the Germans are beginning to realize that the first phase of their great offensive of March 21st cannot be realized, and conse- quently the second and third phase, as given in my first estimate of the situation, cannot even be attempted. They are beginning to realize that the American forces will cut a large figure in this war from now on, and this figure will be increasing in size as time goes on. This they know, and they also know that our air service will be rapidly expanding in the future. All this will not give them any particularly great pleasure." On August fith, when his Division was firmly established on the Vesle and in Fismes, General Haan wrote: EXPRESSES PRIDE IN HIS DIVISIOIST. "The 32nd Division has been put to the test and has made good." (He then gives a detailed account of the salient features of the fighting and adds) : "The conduct of the soldiers of the 32nd Division was all that could be asked of any soldiers. They never faltered in their attack on any position, no matter what difficulties they encountered. Wlaen they were ordered to go in, they went in. "I had received word from General Pullard, who, at the time, was not yet in command of the Corps, that General Pershing was exceedingly anxious for our Division to take Hill 230, which we were at that moment attacking. The Commander-in-Chief wanted to demonstrate to the French that our 195 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD ]YAR National Guard Divisions were fighting Divisions, as well as our Regulars. I think we have succeeded in convincing everj'one that the 32nd Division is a real fighting division and has the fighting spirit. "At some places on the field of battle the dead lay very thick. Our losses have been very heavy but not heavier than should be expected from the work that has been done. The Division is going into camp, and it is my opinion that it will rapidly recuperate. If we get our replacements quickly, we will be ready to make another, and even better, fight, inside of two weeks. "I think it can now ho stated that the last attempt of the German Army, begun on the morning of July 15th, has not only been a failure, but that the Germans have been signally defeated in open warfare, which is the kind of fighting they have been looking for. The American troops, fortunately, have not had much trench warfare to contend with, and therefore the only warfare they know is open warfare. This has been the kind of warfare for which we have been training under instructions issued by the Commander-in-Chief, and it looks to me as if his policy were the correct one. Undoubtedly the greatest effort in this drive was made by the French, but the American Divisions, with their greater strength, have been able to take over a sector about double the front of the French divisions. Our men are fresher, they are enthusiastic, whereas the French are, naturally, much exhausted. The young Americans will recuperate quickly and will be ready for another battle before the Germans can recuperate the divisions which have opposed us. "The 32nd has had in front of it. nearly the entire distance, one of the best of the German Guard divisions, but at no place have they shown any superiority over our men in actual open combat. APPROVES ALLIED FNITY OF COMMAND. "I am more than ever convinced that my fir.et estimate of the situation of the German intention on the 21st of March was correct. They never have succeeded in accomplishing the first phase of the offensive, which was the separation of the French and British forces, and then beating them in detail. The American troops have been wisely thrown to the support of both flanks and the entire Allied Army placed under one head. This latter, in my opinion, is the only thing that could have made the present Allied offensive successful." On August 19th, when his Division was recuperating, as he had predicted, but with its ranks still depleted by the absence of replacements. General TIaan again wrote to General Crowder. General Haan told about being busy completing his formal report and said : "It is about as much of a job to write the report as it was to fight the battle. * * * The weather has lately been perfectly beautiful and my men are now all right again. We are still greatly reduced in numbers, and many of the men are mourning the loss of comrades. However, I can have no feeling of sadness because we lost so many men; they died bravely and in a noble cause. Those young men who gave up their lives have at least left hon- orable names for their families, and since it will be only a comparatively short time before the rest of us have to give up our lives too, in one way or 196 READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL another, I am not sure but what these youngsters who fought for the whole human race should not be considered more fortunate than those who still have to trudge along. Their troubles are over, and perhaps their past misdeeds have been forgiven by the sacrifice they made. "I don't think the German is feeling very good. I think he is beginning to realize that he made one hell of a big mistake in getting the United States into this war. Old Hindcnburg seems to have given up the job and Luden- dorff, I think, is getting a little tired himself. Just what the Turk is think- ing of I don't know but I feel certain that the Bulgarians and the Austrians are beginning to wish they were out of it. I look to see Bulgaria try to get into the band-wagon before long. THE GENERAL PLAYS HIS LUCK. "We are living here in a little hunting lodge, and they have built me a dug-out nearby, but so far I have not gone into it, on account of the bombs. I have always thought I was lucky, so I stay in bed and let the damn bombs drop, which they do every night. I don't believe they can hit this little house anyway. "By the way the German has been in complete control of the air in this sector ever since my Division has been here. However, I hear that some machines may be expected here some time, but they are not in evidence yet. We have one American squadron here, but they have observation machines and the Allies have no fighting planes to protect them in their observation flights. Our aviators are brave lads; they go over in spite of the lack of protection, but many of them are shot down. Their time will come soon, I hope. I believe we have good aviators here, if they can only get good machines. "The Germans have been pretty busy with their night bombing in our area and I suppose they think they have inflicted a lot of punishment on our Division. But so far — and I just knocked wood — they have not killed a single one of my men in their night bombing. "In the day time when observation planes are over us we hang our laundry in woods we are not using, and when the raiders come over at night they drop their eggs in these woods, while the men are sleeping — or trying to — under their shelter tents in other woods. So far the trick has fooled him. I don't think the German is so very cunning. I think the Americans are going to fool liim in more ways than one. "One thing I feel more certain of now than ever before, and that is that we are going to lick him. I told you at the beginning that we were going to lick him, but I did not feel anywhere near as certain about it as I do now. We are going to have lots of work to do yet, and lots of hard fighting, but I think it will generally be on the winning side, because I think that the Ger- man has lost his punch and pretty soon will lose his nerve. I should not be surprised to find that the German is not a very good loser and once we get him going — I think we have him going right now — then wo may get him demoralized. We have not succeeded in doing that yet. He has made some good retreats, but in some places we have got a good deal of his ammunition, in which, if I am not mistaken, lie is not at present overloaded." 197 THE TTIIBTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR PRAISE FOR STRATEGY OP MARSHALL FOCH. General Haan wrote that he thoroughly approved of tlie discontinuation of the pressure of the Vesle front. "Marshal Foeh, instead, decided to hit the enemy in the Amiens front, where he took a slice out of them in quick order," MTote General Haan. "This was fine strategy, and ranch more was accomplished there, perhaps, than if he had given us sufficient force to continue the offensive here. "Everyone I have talked to lately has expressed growing confidence in Marshal Foch's ability and strategy, and I think that Ludendorff is be- ginning to think that maybe the French Commander has not only some Icnowledge of strategy, but also that he has some punch left in his Armies. "It appears that the American troops are being concentrated elsewhere. Possibly Foch has a mission for them. I, hope they will hit the Boche un- expectedly somewhere. If General Pershing once gets through his lines with a lot of fresh American divisions, I am thinking he will give them a stagger- ing blow. I hope I will get my Division into it, because it has recovered its old fighting spirit again, although yet too depleted in numbers. We have been out of the line now 11 days and have received practically no replacements, either in officers or men. I do not quite understand what this means. It may mean that we are to remain in this sector and help hold this front while other divisions are being filled up and prepared for offensive operations. My Division is not a good Division to sit on a quiet front — I think it prefers active operations. It is full of ginger, and the enemy has found that out. However, other divisions must have their chance, and I am sure most of them will give a good account of themselves. I want to see what our National Army divisions will do when they get a chance in open work. I hear that they have a lot of ginger, too. Well, if they have any more than the 32nd they will be going some ! REGRETS HEAVY LOSS OF OFFICERS. "I have looked into our recent losses and have found that tiie reports show a larger percentage of casualties among the officers than among the men. This speaks well for our officers, but too many good ones were lost. However, many of them will soon be back, and they will be better for carrying a few scars with them. "The training of our Division is now going on in a very satisfactory manner, but it is unfortunate that we must carry on this training so short- handed in officers and men. If we only could get the men this would be a fine time to give them the necessary training for the next operation, but there is no use kicking — we cannot make officers and men out of nothing. So we will have to wait until we get some, and in the meantime, if we cannot smile, we will not weep either. "Tlie effort that has been made by America is marvelous. No one can say that a Republic cannot make war when it has good cause for doing so. T believe that there is today no man in the world who has such wide power as the President of the United States, and the best of it is that he has this power because the spirit of the American people is such that he must take it." General Haan wrote a great deal, in this as well as in other letters, of about the same jjeriod, of the success of the Division liaison during the Aisne-Marne Offensive. lOS READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL "Our liaison worked so much better than I ever hoped for that I am satisfied that in our next fight our liaison will be as good as the best in any veteran French or British division. The success of our liaison I attribute mainly to Major Lobez, chief of the French Mission attached to our Division. I detailed him as a personal staff officer with specific instructions to suggest to me continuously any improvements that we might make in getting infor- mation, and he has not been backward in coming forward with suggestions." During the brief ti'aining period after the battle, General Haan delivered a series of lectures on the lessons of the operation, to officers and men, wherever it was jiossible to get them together tor an informal talk. In his letters he discusses these lectures and writes : ENEMY HEAVILY PUNISHED. "I have found but little to criticize in the manner in which our infantry worked; they did splendidly. They attacked positions which, when examined afterward, seemed almost impossible to carry. The most satisfactory feature in connection with our attacks on several very strong machine gam nests was that we lost fewer men in killed in each case than the enemy dead found on the spot, which I think rather remarkable. It shows that our soldiers had profited much by their experiences in training in the Belfort sector. Our losses were heavy, but General Bullard told me that he had compared our losses with the casualties of the French on our right, who were in his Corps, and in comparison to what we did our losses were no heavier than theirs. General Bullard expressed himself as being satisfied with the manner in which our men behaved in this attack." General Haan wrote of the Oise-Aisne Ofl'ensive in practically the same language as he wrote his official report. In regard to the commendation of the Division by General Penet, commanding the French Corps, General Haan wrote: "The Corps commander sent an officer to my Headquarters, who stated to me that the Corps Commander had sent him especially to congratulate the 32nd Division on the excellent work that was done by it in the capture of the most difficult position which liad been holding up the line for some time." In a letter to a friend in his old home town of Hammond, 111., General Haan, on October 5th, when the Division was struggling against the enemy between the Argonne and the Meuse, said : "I have lost a good many men in killed and wounded, but that cannot be helped; I knew that would happen if we got into the war, that is, into the real fighting, and we are right in the midst of the real fighting now." * * * General Haan then gave some facts concerning the length of the Division's service in actual combat and added: BOASTING NOT FASHIONABLE. "I don't want this published, because it might be construed as boasting, and no one here boasts; it is out of fashion. Everybody is doing the best he can and we are accomplishing something." 199 s 200 READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL General Haan told of visiting the observation post on the lofty crest of Mont- faucon and of the citadel which the Crown Prince of Germany had built there. "The French lost 15,000 men trying to take the position," said General Ilaan. "The Americans lost some, too, but took it. Of course, the French had more troops opposing them when they made the attack, or perhaps they had a lesser force than we used. The French are fine fighters, they gain ground all the time and know the game. I like tliem more than ever, and after the war the American people will know much more about the French and they will like them, too." In a letter written to Senator Harry S. New, on October 5th, General Haan made tlie following statement regarding the Y. M. C. A. : "THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A BEST CAMP." "The Y. M. C. A. does a fine work when we are in what is called 'Rest Camp,' though there is really no such thing as a 'Rest Camp.' To be in a 'Rest Area' merely means that we are training instead of fighting. The men and officers work hard every day. However, in these so-called Rest Camps the Y. M. C. A. serves tlic men very well. I suppose in the quiet sectors they do pretty good work, but in camjiaigns like the ones the 32nd Division has been in tlie Y. M. C. A. organization is hopelessly inadequate. Nor do I think that it should be expected to do so much." \Yhen Major Generals write personal letters to each other they use language about like the rest of us; to judge from the following quotation from a letter written by General Haan on October 15th, to his friend. Major General E. F. McGlachlin, Jr., then Chief of tlie First Army Artillery: "My Division is in fine spirits though tired as hell. This has been by far the fiercest fight we have ever lieen in. Yesterday morning we went through a trench system (the Kriemhilde Stellung), j)roteeted.in front by three bands of wire. It seemed almost prohibitive, and we would not have gotten through had it not been for perfect artillery fire, so well in hand that where the in- fantry got through the barrage went on, and where it didn't get through the fire was dropped back on the trenches. We got through with two battalions, but were held up with the other two; but the artillery, from good observation points which had been found, was recalled to the points where the infantry didn't get through and supported the infantry there until they did get through. "KICKING 'EM IN THE TAILS." "Some day I want you to come out and look at the positions my Division took yesterday morning. It is a veritable Gibraltar. And remember that the Division had been fighting in the open in front of this trench system for 13 days, during which time it was continuously under enemy observation and subjected to perfectly controlled artillery fire. Nevertheless we kept on approaching the position until we were in front of the wire, and then we went over and got it. And we are going to keep it, and we are going to kick them in the tails until they get further away; but we can't kick very hard any more. Some of my battalions are down to 6 officers and 250 men, but there is ginger in them yet." 201 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE ]YORLD WAR Writing under date of October 19th, General llaan had more to say about tlie wonderful work of his Division in penetrating the Krienihilde Stellung. "It has been a terrific strain on the men wlio have been in continuous battle for 20 days," he wrote. "I am more than pleased at the work the Division has done and the ground it has gained, hut T am more pleased at the way in which it was done. * * * j examined the German ])osition — the Kriemhilde Stellung — in the vicinity of Cote Dame Marie today, and I don't believe any troops in the world could take it if it were held by our men." On October 20th, just after the Division had been withdrawn from the front line. General Haan wrote as follows to General Crowder: HTS MEX .\T.L S:\rTTJXG. "T have just returned from an inppection of my Division, which is huddled in a wood, covering about 4 square miles. I visited all of the In- fantry regiments, which are the ones that suffered most of the casualties. This morning we had three or four hours of intermittent sunshine, and I am glad to find that my men are all smiling. Every one of them is lousy, but even this does not have any immediate bad effects on them. I know that my Division is going to recuperate in a very short time, and it will soon be ready for another scrap even if we have to stay in the damnable hole. "I had pictured war as hell, but never quite so much like hell as this. I don't want any more war — but T want to stay in this one until it is finished, and moreover I want to stay with my Division. It's a peach. I believe there is no better Division here; in fact T don't believe there is as good a one. I have fine Brigadier Generals and fine Colonels and fine men with a spirit that can't be beaten." The last letter of the file to General Crowder was written December 12th, just before the Third Army crossed the Rhine. "In Germany, amon^ the people as you see them on the streets," wrote General Haan, "they look perfectly healthy, and there is no indication of underfeeding. I think, again, that my estimate of the situation, made 'way last .\pril, that the German people could not be starved out, but that the German Army had to l)c licked, is entirely correct. The German Army was licked — if the armi.stice had held off 10 days longer, it would have been de- stroyed. Of course we would have lost a good many men, and it is jirobably better as it is." In a decidedly lighter vein, hut none the less interesting, are General TTaan's letters to Mrs. Haan, written at various times during the 32nd Division's career in France. These letters were secured from Mrs. Haan by a reporter for the Detroit Free Press, shortly after T^ea Terribles returned from France, and were published while the country was welcoming home the famous Wisconsin and Michigan warriors. General Haan wrote his wife under the nickname of "Bunker," by which he has been known to his intimates since his West Point days. When the letters were published General Haan was in Battle Creek, ^fieh., commanding Camp Custer. Mrs. Haan had written him from New York that she had "given a reporter some letters." When he read them in the paper, a year after he had written them, far from the turmoil in which the words were penned, he smiled, and his only com- ment was : 202 READING THE GENEUAL'S MAIL "I am quite astonished at some of the statements T made." In the same camp were a number of men of the ;J2nd Division, being demobilized. They read the letteis witli more interest tiian anyone else. They smiled, too, and a veteran othcer remarked : "Guess the Old Man is just like the rest oi: us. I've censored iiuiuy a letlei' that reads like those to 'Margaret.' The Geneial writes just like a doughboy." And the Editor of the Free Press in his comment introduciiig the letters to his readers said: "The outstanding feature running throu^gh the letters is that General Haan is revealed as 'human' — vitally interested in exactly the things that in- terested the men who fought under him." It is a military principle that an organization tends to pattern itself after its commanding officer. No Division could be commanded for the length of time Gen- eral Haan commanded the 32nd without assimilating many of the personal char- acteristics of its chief. "Bunker to Margaret" letters which General Haan has per- mitted the Division historians to republish demonstrate this fact more clearly, per- haps, than anything else. If any one feature of the morale of Les Terribles was more evident than another, the cheerfulness with which the ol^icers and men accepted wliatever came their way was perhaps the most impressive characteristic of the Division. Many of General llaan's letters to liis wife were written at times his men will remember as not being conducive to light-heartedness, but there was hardly a time when he couldn't find something to joke about. If it wasn't his rubber tub, which was the envy of his staff ofBeers, it was the Kaiser's bed, in which he refused to sleep. "We were billeted in the ex-emperor's house," he wrote, "but I couldn't bring myself to sleep in the old lobster's bed." In the early training days in France before the Division went into the trenches in Alsace, the General was just as restless to go forward as any of his men — perhaps a bit more so. His letters exemplify the Division spirit of "Let's go." Many of his letters were written while the Division was under action or just coming out of a victorious fight. In these the spirit of pride in the glorious achievements of his men is always uppermost. The natural beauty of France interested him, too, just as it interested all the fighters from America, and the spirit of the French women working in the fields tugged at his heartstrings, just as it tugged at the heartstrings of every American mother's son over there. The General's first letter tells of his voyage across the Atlantic. It reads: March 5, 1918. "Dear Margaret: Here we are, safe and sound after an interesting trip. Had one fake 'sub' attack in mid-ocean ; some one had dropped a barrel over- board, our lookouts signalled 'Submarine,' and we had some nice target practice. "The last two nights the strain was a little wearing, but when we sailed into this beautiful French port, with briglit sunshine on the hills and city, it was grand. The Cadillac is now being unloaded and we will use it to go to our headquarters. "I do not detect the hopeless feeling among the French of which I have heard so much. We will give the German pirates a run for their money before we finish. j^^^^ „f ]„^p^ BuxNker." 203 THE THIRTY-SECOND DIVISION IN THE WOULD WAR A week later General Haan wrote: "Dear Margaret: It seems a lung time since we landed, yet it is only a week. The sun has been shining beautifully every day, and all over France the farms are being plowed and planted. Tlie season is earlier than in the United States. "Apparently there is ample food; no meatless days in France, and you can buy anything you need cheaper than in the United States. I was sur- prised. Butter is very scarce. The bread is black, but good. Sugar is not plentiful, but more so than in New York. "I have seen many old friends, and soon will see some more. We are billeted in 30 ditl'eient quaint old villages, but quite comfortable. I have a chateau, or rather a large room in a big stone house, and eight officers arc with me. "1 have a line bed, good mattresses, sheets and blankets and towels all furnished, bed made and sheets and towels laundered for half a franc (10 ■ cents) a day. Too much ! No bath in the chateau. Too bad ! But then I have my rubber tub, which is 0. K., for I get a bucket of hot water now and then. "Things arc most interesting here, and I am glad I am in the thick of it. In a few days I expect to have a look at the enemy. They are rather active, but our men are full of confidence and pep, and we are getting more in all the time. I think our navy is going to get the better of the 'subs,' too. "I don't know what to think yet of the end of the war. I can't see any way but to keep on scrapping for a long time." The General's third letter was written on St. Patrick's day, and sets forth how he worked to get his Division together after the units had been separated by powers higher up : "Dear Margaret: This has been a most beautiful day, and I have had a ride up front; not very near the front yet, but I shall get nearer next week. "My Division is still all scattered and helping in the supply line, but I will get it together soon, I think. I have been after them hard with the big stick. "I am feeling fine as silk. We don't get much news, although I take a French morning paper, Le Matin, and an English evening paper, the Daily Mail. Our American papers have better news. "I am gradually getting ae(iuainted with the general organization of things here and it is intensely interesting. The Secretary passed through here today. He is being taken on a personally conducted tour and seems to enjoy it. "1 am very comfortable, and like my work even better than at Waco." A letter written by General Haan March 29th, reflects the spirit of unrest that spread over the Allied world during the German offensive in the north of France: "Dear Margaret: Things are 'sizzling' here, and at the moment there is grave doubt as to whether our lines will finally hold, but the French are quite optimistic. 204 READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL "A terrible battle is in progress. We hope to stem the onslaught, which was expected just where it came. If we are able to bring them to bay now, and 1 think we will, then we will get them in the end. "Things are looking a little better toda}', and our British friends certainly are doing themselves proud. "I hope soon to get a more active part in the doings." April 2. "Dear Margaret: The Germans seem to be stopped, and I feel certain we are going to get them in the end. Our troops are coming over much faster now and they will come faster soon. "Our people must all realize that the enemy cannot be talked to death or starved out. He must be licked, and that will require some heavy fighting. "I feel sure now that we will by fall get control or at least great super- iority in the air, and that will give our armies a big advantage. By that time we also should have more soldiers than the CJermans, and we will be able again to take the oil'ensive, wbieh we will do with a vengeance. "I am quite comfortable in my chateau, where I come for a sponge bath now and then. That rubber tub is the envy of my staff. "Ever since the Germans sliot into the Paris church on Good Friday they have been in bad luck. The spirit of the Allied armies is fine — never better, and that is much." In a letter of April 8th the General writes: "Dear Margaret: All the general officers in France, except those in my Division, have been ordered to take another examination. We were ordered too, but when I told them we had been examined so often in the United States that whenever we met a medical officer we began to unbutton our clothes, they let us off. I hope I don't have any more physical examinations until the war is over; not that I am afraid of them, because I never felt better, but they are a nuisance. "The troops of the Division are anxious to get to the front. A few of them are up there now. "You tell any good people who are wondering what they could do to help, that they should use all their influence to do what General March asks. He is now Chief of Staff; he has been over here and he knows just what is needed. "We have a nice 'mess,' although we have just lost our cook. We are promised a French chef, and then we will start all over again. "I went to the movies Saturday night, saw Fatt)' Arbuckle and felt quite at home." A trip to the front lines, and his views on the perilous situation with the British in the north, are set forth in the General's next letter: April 13. "Dear Margaret: War is even 'Heller' than we used to think it was. The British are now under a frightful strain. As I am writing, the battle is at its height, r hope and believe the British again will stop them liefore it is too late. 205 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN Till-: WOULD HI/.' "I have just returned from the front trenches, where I have been study- ing the modern metliods of trench warfare. I went into the middle of No ilan's Land, into a listening post within 50 yards of the German trenches. "Our soldiers are going to be fine. Where we are weak is in our older or rather our field officers, that is colonels and majors and most captains. They are too old to get into the full spirit of the strenuous training required. "The French have become quite used to the war. They live in the villages 10 miles from the front and go on planting (the women), and carry on just as if nothing were happening. Shells drop in their fields, but that doesn't worry them. They do not go until they are ordered away by the military authorities, and then they go reluctantly. I'ractically all the work of plant- ing the fields is done by the women. A few old men are seen now and then, but they don't seem to be able to do much work, except on the roads, which are kept in fine shape. "This is Saturday night and I feel a little lonesome. Tomorrow I am running up to General Pershing's headquarters in a new car — made in De- troit. It's a peach, and the roads around here are in fine shape." Thd General's next letter, dated May 1st, tells of the artistic beauties of France. "Dear Margaret: France in the springtime, among the hills, is beautiful. I wish you could be here to enjoy it, as you surely would, and rummage around some of those quaint old country villages — marvelous specimens of unsanitary conditions, but artistic by their very nature — pictures to make the artists dance and drink the wine coming from the hillside vineyards." That Thirty-second Division spirit of "Let's Go" is set forth in a letter of May 11th, as follows: "Dear Margaret: Good for you for wanting to be a man and a soldier. You are doing good work, and will continue to do so as long as you feel that way. We have a tremendous job on our hands, but if we all pull together we'll put it over. "Got me a new uniform today — a peach. Am going up front tomorrow. "My sports are ready for a tour in the trenches. They are 'fed up' on training, as the Scotch say, and are all eager to get a try at the foe. Me, too, Pete !" A letter written May 11th takes the Division up one step nearer the front. The General writes: "Dear Margaret : We are moving today, but it is not like Texas. We get the order, and zip, in two hours we report ready. Good training! "I had a nice trip to the front Sunday ; lunched with a French General. He is quite comfortable, and so will we be when we get into the line (in a quiet sector). "We arc not to lie in the thick nf the l)iii(lo for some lime yet." 20G READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL "May 18. "Dear Margaret: We have just completed a 100-mile movement without a hitch and exactly on schedule time — not like the Texas movement. We are now in another locality, but not on an active front yet. Plenty of shooting and bombing and fights in the air. My men are learning by contact, and my officers are, many of them, improving fast. "The enemy seems to be threatening another drive. Well, he will get another crack in the nose, and before long some more cracks, and then some more. It looks to me now as if we might spend next winter here, but one can never tell. I am not expecting a speedy decision, and he is trying his best to turn Russian soldiers against us through his tools, Trotzky and Lenine, but I don't think he will succeed. "We are quite comfortable here. I am writing this in my 'office' under an electric light." A little touch of homesickness is evident in a letter dated May 24th : "Dear Margaret: Things are not much different than I expected. Lots of details we are learning every day, and the French Officers are simply fine in giving us the benefit of their experience. We have much to learn yet, but not nearly as much as when we started. "Being 'in contact' adds much zest to our work and keeps up the interest. And the days are nice and long now — plenty of daylight so that we don't miss the lightless nights so much. "But, ye gods, how I would enjoy the lights on Broadway. "One of my men was killed yesterday by machine-gim fire and two were wounded today by artillery fire — also some civilians. "It has turned cool today, but the weather is generally fine, with plenty of sunshine and flowers, mostly yellow and blue." General Haan's pride in the first two men in the Division to win the French Croix de Guerre, and his concern over his first wounded, are set forth in letters of May 29th and June 2ud : "Dear Margaret: This war is some hell, but we are going to come out on top in the end ; I feel sure of that. "Have had a few men killed and some wounded ; not many. Two of my men have won the Croix de Guerre. One was killed and the other shot through the lungs. The latter was Sergeant Sanford, 126th Infantry, who met a German patrol of five and attacked them single-handed. They fired at him and fied. He pursued them after he was shot and emptied his pistol into them. He brought in grenades and a wire cutter thny dropped in their flight. He is very seriously ill in a hospital, but I think ho will recover." June 2. "Dear Margaret: I visited the hospitals today. The sergeant is still alive and has a good chance of recovery. "We made a raid last night and caught two German prisoners; others were killed, number not known. All we wanted was to find out who was in front of us, and we have identified them. 207 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "The Germans surely hit a soft spot in the Allied line in their last drive. I hope we will be able to hold at Soissons and Reims, which should force the enemy to withdraw. I hope further that they may push in at these points and make a disaster for the Germans. "We are too short of men. The Germans have some 50 divisions more than the Allies, and they are a single command, and they are better trained. But our troops are coming over faster every day now, and already they are giving a great deal of help." More impressions of the French Army are set forth in a letter dated June 24th. It reads : "Dear Margaret: I guess you haven't had your mails crowded by my letters lately; things have been rather rushed with us the past month and I have not been troubled as to how to kill time. "I have the great honor of commanding a French division in addition to my own. This is the first time an American Officer has commanded a French division. The French are doing everything they possibly can to help us along. I never believed such perfect relations could be established by troops of different nations serving together. "The weather has been rather raw here, and tonight I am only fairly warm with a heavy overcoat on as I am writing. "I noticed by the evening paper we have 300,000 men over here now. That's fine. I am glad they have decided to publish the numbers, because it will cheer up the French and British and will nuike the Germans weep. We flattened out four of their sports yesterday that we know of and will get more soon. "Inclosed is a program for concert given by an American and French band playing as one band." The General's next letter, dated July 24th, was written after he and the Thirty- second had moved from Alsace to the vicinity of Chateau niierry. It follows: "Dear Margaret: We are a long way from our old station. T expect you may have located us before you get this; anyhow, if you have not T can't help you. We are all 0. K. and doing our best and will continue to do that to the end. "The losses in our Division have not as yet been heavy, but no one can tell what will happen in the near future. All is uncertainty, hut we are preparing as best we can for eventualities. "Be that as it mav we shall smite the enemv as hard as we can." The next letter, written August 3rd, tells of the Division's first battle in its drive from the Ourcq to the Vesle. It reads : "Dear Margaret: I have been with my Division for four days and nights in a terrific battle. My men have done excellent work and I am well satisfied. "The men are about exhausted. We have beaten the German in 'open warfare,' where he thought himself invincible, and Berlin is not rejoicing overmuch. We have many casualties, but we have actually counted more 308 READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL than twice as many dead Germans on the ground as our dead numbered. I think tomorrow my Division will be replaced by a fresh one, but if not my men can fight more yet. Some of them have had nothing to eat for two days, but tonight they will be fed. "We have driven the enemy across a river and he has blown up the bridges in his flight — so we have to stop over night. That gives us a chance to get food to the very front troops. "I am starting out to inspect the front at 4 tomorrow morning. I would forever have regretted it had I missed this battle." Slore about this same battle is contained in the General's next letter. "August 7. "Dear Margaret: Just a word now that our first real battle, lasting eight days, is over. "We had many wounded, but only aliout 500 killed in the eight days of terrific fighting in the middle of the big push. "One of my regiments took Fismes by storm and killed many Germans. "On the battlefield of our first fight, lasting part of two days, more than 500 enemy corpses have been buried by our men. War is getting to be hell for the Germans, but it's nothing to what it's going to be. "My men are having three days' rest now and they are reported very cheerful and in high spirits. Tomorrow I am going to visit all of them." Capture by his troops of the town near which Quentin Boosevelt is buried is one of the outstanding features in a letter dated August 17th, which says: "Dear Margaret: Tomorrow we will put on our first gold service stripe (si.K months on big war service). "My Division has had a good rest and is al)out ready for another scrap, but we are very short in officers and men and I hope I will get replacements soon. "T have been busier since the battle ended than I was during it — in getting matters in hand again. Battles are very discouraging even when you are winning. "What do you think of our stunts? I told you we would get the Germans in the end. Wtll, the end is not yet, but I think the foe wishes it were. We are just beginning. I hope we don't dash in too boldly; we might get pinched a little — but anyway, we will lick the Kaiser before we come back. "We don't want i>eace. We want to lick him to a frazzle. "We captured the town near which Quentin Roosevelt is buried and found his grave alongside Ihe remains of his aeropla,nc. I wrote to Teddy about it. "Well, about f^ur staff officers are waiting for me, so good-night." The General found less time to write letters in the days of the Juvigny battle that followed the writing of this last one, b^it October 5th, he wrote : 209 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR "Dear Margaret: Yesterday I put in 24 hours' work and the time was too short. My Division was in a terrific battle all day and most of the night and again all today, but it has stopped now. They are good fighters, every one of them. "I am quite well and glad we are on the offensive. Now for a little sleep." A letter written twelve days later shows General llaan exceedingly proud of his Michigan and Wisconsin fighters. It reads: "October 17th. "Dear Margaret: The fighting here has been terrible and my fine Division has again pointed its nose straight through the enemy's Kriemhilde line, his last organized line on this front. My Division is the only one that got through on this front and now they are going (I hope) to push a fresh Division through the hole we made, which we are still enlarging. "It's been frightful and the losses very heavy, but the men are in mag- nificent spirit and still going to it. "We are to be taken out for a rest tomorrow night. "I am proud of my Division." On the morning of November 11th, when the .\rmistice went into effect, General Haan sent a brief cablegram to his wife. "TTiippy days!" was all he said. In the evening of Armistice Day, the General wrote : "November 11. "Dear Margaret: This is a day of celebration. Even in the wilds of the finish of the great war on our last battlefield we have bcH^n able today to have a banquet — perhaps the happiest of our lives. "This morning we resumed the attack at G -M which we had stopped last night after dark. At 7 we received orders to stop the battle. That was some job, too. We got it stopped entirely at 10:4.5, just I.') minutes before the armistice went into effect. One of my chaplains was killed at 10 :40. Hard luck ! "Day before yesterday we went back into the fight again, and yesterday we pounded them all day, driving them back everywhere. But they fought like the very devil still — had a new division in front of us and parts of two other divisions, but we punched them. "I am glad the war is over. We are now waiting for the enemy to get a little start and then we will follow him and before long wo will establish 'Die Wacht am Ehein.' Isn't that grand ? "Anyhow, we licked the foe to a frazzle and the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs are out of business for keeps." 210 READING THE GENERAL'S MAIL "Here at Long^y 5,000 French people were on tlie main square to greet me." Three days later, General Haan wrote: "Dear Margaret: Now that the fighting is over and we can liavc lights at night, the world seems different — a whole lot of improvement. "My Division has been selected to move forward in the advance guard to establish a 'Wacht am Rhein' and that tickles me most to death. We start after the Germans day after tomorrow. My Division is one of six (elite.) selected for a station on the Rhine, probably at Coblenz. We march through Luxemburg and Treves. You remember our visit there? Isn't that grand? "Nothing doing but cleaning up and getting new clothes." How it feels to sleep in a real bed is described in a letter from Chateau Longwy dated November 18th, as follows: "Dear Margaret : Fine business this living in 'Kaiser House' and 'Baron Chateau.' Things are improving. "Had grand reception at Marville yesterday, and today here at Longwy 5,000 French people were on the main square to greet me when I arrived with the Division. We are now on the border of Luxemburg. "I had a fine bed to sleep in last night — my first night in a real bed in more than three months, and a bath too. Too much ! Afraid I'll get sick. "The baroness called on me today and apologized for the fillliy condition of the cliateau, hut explained that today was the first time slie had been permitted to get inside for four years. "Ye gods, but these people are happy to get rid of llio invaders, who are beasts. Nothing less! Lots of Love, Bunkeh." 211 THE THIRTY- SECOND DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR In a letter dated Xoveinber 22nd, the General tells about losing his "good old Thirty-second" and being promoted to command the Seventh Corps, and later, on November 28th, he writes: "I occupied one of the Kaiser's houses the other night, but I fouliln't bring myself to sleep in the old lobster's bed." Most of his subsequent letters have to do with the Seventh Corps, although now and then there is a touch of sadness at being away from "his boys" in the Thirty- second. That he was overjoyed at l)eing transferred back to the Eed Arrows is well known by all General Haan's friends. 212 CHAPTER XVI. Constitution of Thirty-Second Division Veteran Association. 1.
