of the New York National Guard was first
organized February 23, 1908, as a Battalion,
from the First, Second and Third Batteries of
the Guard.
On August 30, 1911, the First Battery was
detached, and the Sixth Battery assigned to the Battalion. The
Second, Third and Sixth Batteries were designated as Batteries
A, B and C of the First Battalion, Field Artillery.
On May 28, 1912, the Battalion was organized as a regi-
ment and designated Second Field Artillery, N. G., N. Y.
On October 26, 1912, the regimental organization was dis-
banded and the First Battalion (Batteries A, B and C) trans-
ferred to the First Field Artillery.
On January 10, 1913, the Second Regiment, Field Artil.
lery was again organized. Battery A (the old Second, Capt.
Wilson), B (the old Third, Capt. Rasquin) and C (the old
Sixth, Capt. Olmstead) were transferred back to it and became
its First Battalion, and a Second Battalion was organized con-
sisting of Battery D of the Bronx, Battery E of Syracuse and
Battery F to be organized.
Battery D was formerly the Second Field Battery, organized
February 4, 1833, as the Washington Gray Troop of
Horse Artillery, which served in a number of riots
and other disturbances between 1834 and 1895, and
was in the United States service in 1861 and 1863.

became Colo-
nel on January
12, 1912.
The differ-
e nºt batteries
were recruited
up and given a
thorough or -
ganization and



course of instruction, during
which the regiment devised
and carried out a system of
indoor practice in artillery fir-
ing which has received favor-
able comment. It also par-
ticipated in all the maneuvers
and other exercises in which
the New York National Guard
took part.
In 1915 it attended the
Army Field Artillery School
at Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania.
where it received practical in-
struction in target and field
artillery firing, in connection
with the regulars. Its officers
and non-commissioned officers
also attended a school of in-
struction at the same place in
advance of the arrival of their
organizations. This instruc-
tion added greatly to the efficiency of the entire Regiment.
In 1915 the probabilities of trouble with Mexico, and of
the United States becoming involved in the war in Europe were
steadily increasing, and in common with the other regiments
of the New York National Guard the Second Field Artillery
began quietly to prepare itself to respond to a call for active
service in case one should be made. Those officers and men who
would not be able to respond to such a call were dropped
and every effort was made to obtain recruits, none being
accepted who would not pledge themselves to serve as part of
the army anywhere the President might order them.
Despite the efforts made by certain pacifists, the Second
Field Artillery had in June, 1916, a strength of 47 officers and
851 men. It only had 96 horses for its six batteries of 24 guns
and their limbers, etc.

15
On June 18, 1916, President Wilson called out the National
Guard of the States for service on the Mexican border and
directed the organizations to be raised to war strength. This
required the Batteries of the Second Field Artillery to be each
raised to 133 and the regiment to 1,128.
The New York Guard (with the exception of a few organ-
izations) was at once ordered by Governor Whitman to report
at their several armories at 8 P. M. the following day, and in
that twenty-four hours they assembled there 15,289 strong, the
Second Field Artillery having 38 officers and 627 men. This
should have been a surprise to those army officials and others
who had continuously insisted that only a fraction of the Guard
would respond to a President’s call for active service, and that
none would be willing to serve outside the United States.
The Second Field Artillery went into camp at Van Cortlandt
Park in the Bronx, and in the course of its nineteen-day stay
there as many horses and as much equipment as the Army
officials could procure were issued to it. It also obtained addi-
tional recruits. Here it was mustered into the United States
service. Its strength on June 28, 1916, prior to muster had
increased to 46 officers and 1,065 men.
The complicated system then existing of inspecting and
turning in the government property the Second possessed and
reissuing it to the regiment all over again, as well as of physi-

cally examining each man as if he was a new recruit, delayed
the regiment until July 8th and 9th, when it left its camp for
McAllen, Texas, where it arrived on July 15th and 16th.
It was, however, still short of much of its necessary equip-
ment and supplies and wore woolen uniforms, the issue by the
Government of cotton ones having been discontinued in 1914.
In time, however, the Government was able to supply most
of the equipment and supplies required. No provision was
made for months for the dependents of the National Guardsmen
called into service.
During the six months’ service on the Border, the Second,
which had been recruited to 47 officers and 1,115 men, was
given hard and intensive training under the supervision of regu-
lar army officers, and during tropical rains which made deep
mud; hurricanes which blew down the tents; intense heat which
caused choking dust, alternated with occasional cold Northers,
and little water and that poor, but which training proved in its
campaign in 1918 in France to be of the greatest value to
the officers and men.

Unloading on Return from the Border
Most of the residents on the Border, so far from manifest.
ing any hospitality towards the troops that had come there for
their protection, charged them the highest possible prices for
everything they required, and, in fact, with few exceptions,
their attitude was far from friendly.
On December 30, 1916, the Regiment returned to New
York and was mustered out of the Army January 12, 1917,
and resumed its place in the National Guard.
Although the danger of the war with Germany was then
great, the regiment was required to reduce its number from
- war to peace strength, and con-
sequently discharged many of
its trained men. Many, also,
of those who had enlisted in it
for service on the Border
left it.
On April 6, 1917, two
months later, war against Ger-
many was declared; and on
July 3, 1917, Governor Whit-
man called out the Guard, in-
cluding the Second, into ser-
vice and ordered the latter to
be assembled July 10. It

cordingly, where it remained

until July 28, 1917, when the First Battalion went to Fort
Niagara, N. Y., and the Second to Madison Barracks. At these
beautiful camps it was trained until October 7, 1917, when it
went to Camp Wadsworth, S. C., and became a part of the
Twenty-seventh Division, commanded by Major General John
F. O'Ryan, and which was composed entirely of New York
National Guardsmen. During this period it recruited so as to
make it 1,476 strong.
When the Second was mustered into the Army it became
the 105th Field Artillery, U. S., and with the 104th Field
Artillery (formerly the First Field Artillery, N. Y. N. G.), the
106th Field Artillery, (made up of the Third Field Artillery,
formerly the 65th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., from Buffalo and the
western part of New York State) and the 102nd Ammunition
Train and the 102nd Trench Mortar Battery was constituted the
52nd Field Artillery Brigade, commanded by Brigadier Gen.
eral Charles L. Phillips, the Division becoming the 27th, com-
manded by Major General John F. O'Ryan. - *
At Camp Wadsworth the 27th Division was given intensive
training under the supervision of regular army officers and
Canadian and British officers and non-commissioned officers
and lectures from French officers fresh from the seat of war,
and was practiced in the latest methods of warfare developed
in France, including the use of gas, machine guns, grenades and
bayoneting. Officers were given the most drastic tests, both
physical and professional, and those who were not up to the
highest standard were dropped.
Colonel Wingate having planned and constructed a fine
artillery range, the Brigade was given thorough instruction in
field firing. The officers of the 52nd Brigade were also sent
to the School of Instruction at Fort Houston, Texas, and the
School of Fire at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, at each of which the
course was severe and arduous.
At the latter place they were taught the use of the French
Artillery, as this was what the Brigade would use in France.
Schools of instruction of all kinds were also established in the
Division and the discipline was severe and unrelenting.

In consequence, the Division became a thoroughly efficient
organization.
The instructors at the Fort Sill School of Fire having
advised the officers of the Brigade who took the course there
that trench warfare was only a peculiar incident of the situa-
tion then existing on the battle fronts in France, and that in
case either side should break through the other's lines of
trenches the one most skilled in open warfare would win. After
the return to camp of the first graduates from Fort Sill the
instruction of the Division was largely based upon this theory,
and experience in France has shown it to be the correct one.
General O'Ryan having been sent to France September 18,
1917, to observe the systems there pursued, General Phillips
assumed command of the Division, Col. George A. Wingate that
of the 52nd Brigade, and Lieut. Col. Hines that of the 105th
Field Artillery. Lieut. Col. Hines was made Colonel of the
106th Field Artillery early in November and Major De Witt C.
Weld was made Lieutenant Colonel of the 105th. Upon General
O’Ryan’s return on November 26, 1917, General Phillips was
ordered on detached service and Colonel Wingate continued in
command of the 52nd Brigade Field Artillery until he was
ordered to Fort Sam Houston December 31, 1917. The com-
mand of the 105th was assumed by Colonel Weld January 1,
1918. On April 12, 1918, Colonel Wingate was regularly
appointed Brigadier General.
While at Spartanburg 200 men of the 105th Field Artillery
were transferred to the Remount Station and a similar number
of Infantry men from the old 47th N. Y. N. G. Infantry sub-
stituted. -
Although the men of the 27th had looked forward with
pleasure to having a lovely time in camp in the “Sunny South,”
away from the cold and snow of New York, the winter at Spar-
tanburg proved to be an arctic one, the temperature sometimes
being as low as 10 degrees below zero and with a great deal
of snow, the cold weather lasting for two months. With this
experience and those of the heat, rain, dust and mud of Texas,
22
there was noth-
ing left in the
way of dis-
agreeable cli-

built upon modern lines, with asphalted pavements, electric
lights, up-to-date hotels and broad, fine residental streets. The
people were hospitable and patriotic to a high degree. It was
refreshing for the Northern soldiers to find that instead of
being “skinned” as they had been by the residents at Fort
McAllen and on the Mexican Border, they were only charged a
fair price and treated with the greatest consideration. In many
stores a discount was given to a soldier.
The ladies of Spartanburg did everything they could to
entertain the troops, and in November, 1917, procured a build-
ing and with the assistance of the relatives and friends of the
men of the 27th Division fitted it up and operated it as a club
house for the enlisted men, there being a cheap restaurant,
baths and as-
sembly rooms

could meet and

The 27th Division remained at Camp Wadsworth until May
18, 1918, when it was sent to Camp Stuart, Newport News,
Va., for embarkation.
The Infantry of the Division sailed for France that month.
The Field Artillery, for want of transportation, was not able to
do so until June 6th, 14th and 30th–a long and heart-breaking
delay. It arrived in Brest, France, on June 18th, 27th and July
12th, having taken fourteen days to cross the Atlantic. Upon
its arrival in France it became part of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces (A. E. F.). As it had left its horses and artil-
lery in the United States, it was, within twenty-four hours after
its arrival, sent not to the 27th Division, but to Camp de Souge
—a large artillery camp near Bordeaux, where the 104th and
105th Field Artillery received the French 75 and the 106th the
155 millimeter Howitzer (four guns to a Battery, 24 to the
Regiment and 72 to the Brigade), and horses and other equip-
ment. The 102nd Trench Mortar Battery received twelve 6-inch
Newton mortars. The Brigade then numbered 6,000 husky,
well-disciplined men in the pink of condition. They were given
intensive drill in the latest methods of field fighting for six
weeks, ending August 30, 1918, being complimented by the
French School Commandant on the conclusion of the instruc-
tion as “the best Artillery Brigade that had attended the Camp.”
During this time the 27th Division, to which the Brigade
24

was attached, was fighting in Flanders (an Australian Field
Artillery Brigade having been assigned to it), where it made a
magnificent record.
General Pershing was then preparing his great St. Mihiel
“drive” and on September 1, 1918, the 52nd Brigade was
feverishly hurried by train across France to Longeville, a
small town just north of Bar le Duc, and attached to the 33d
Division of the American Army, commanded by Major General
George Bell and composed of Illinois National Guardsmen.
It then marched to Nixeville, stayed there two days and went
into the front line north and west of Verdun, and occupied
some old French battery positions in the front sector of the
battle line in support of the 17th French Corps, with the excep-
tion of the Second Battalion of the 105th and Batteries B and F
of the 106th.
The 33rd Division took over Hill 304 and Mort Homme
Sector from the 157th and 120th Divisions of the French Army
September 8th and 9th, the 104th Field Artillery and First
Battalion of the 105th Field Artillery relieving the 53rd Regi-
ment, A. C., French. The Second Battalion of the 105th Field
Artillery relieved the French 53rd Regiment in the sector on
the right of the 33rd Division. The 8th Division was on the left
of the 33rd, the French on its right. These sectors were held
defensively until September 12, 1918.
The position was supposed to be “a nice, quiet sector”
when the 52nd arrived, but in twenty-four hours it became a
roaring bedlam, which kept up. So that the first experience that
the Brigade, with the exception of the few information officers,
had of the fighting line, was when they came to take over this
sector from a strange Division, and under a heavy fire. There
was no opportunity to obtain actual fighting experience and only
time for the officers to make the swiftest observation of the sit-
uation. The Brigade was on the extreme right of the front
sector. This exposed its guns to observation and it to hostile
shelling on its flank, as well as from the front. It also neces-
sitated its extending its field of fire over an extremely large
25
area, as it was often called to fire at targets outside of its own
sector. This was much harder than it sounds, as a gun well
placed in its pit is only expected to fire through an arc 1600 mils
or 45 degrees.
Movements from place to place were also exposed to harass-
ing fire.
On September 12, 1918, the entire Brigade participated in
the St. Mihiel offensive. This was a prepared attack made by
the First American Field Army on the right of the sector
occupied by the 17th French Corps, and which was participated
in by an artillery demonstration by all of the artillery in the
French Corps, including the units of the 52nd Field Artillery
Brigade.
The fire at Marne was so heavv that the Artillery position
was changed (and that was the only occasion where this was
necessary), the guns being moved to Dead Man’s Hill.
In the daytime everybody remained ºnder cover as much as
possible. At night the firing began and the roads were choked
with men, supply trains, ammunition trains and ammunition
trucks, pushing forward and getting into position for the attacks
which are made about daylight. These attacks were sometimes
tremendous. In one of them the 52nd maintained an artillery
preparation which lasted for six hours before the attack began,
in which the bombardment was so heavy that at a distance it
sounded like a lot of motor trucks with the exhaust cut out.
The reverberation and volume of sound was so great that it
made the whole earth jar. It began with the Army guns, later
was joined by the Corps guns and finally when the Division
Artillery started it was a wonderful thing, both for sight and
sound. -
The Infantry of the 33rd Division (which the 52nd Field
Artillery had joined) proved to be splendid fighters and fol-
lowed the barrage closely. Between them and the 52nd Field
Artillery they never failed to gain their objective, every attack
concluding with the Division holding its salient well up to the
front, waiting for the others to come up.

The area which was being attacked and through which the
subsequent advance of the 52nd Brigade was made was a vital
point in the whole military situation in France. The Hun line
which extended north and west through France and Belgium to
the North Sea swung upon this sector as a gate does upon its
hinges. If the Germans were pushed back by the Belgians,
English and French they could maintain their line as they retired
and thus protect their communications, provided they could hold
this point. But if they should lose it their whole line would
collapse as a gate does when its hinges are broken, and their
army would be destroyed. -
The country was a succession of lines of hills and thick
forests—ideal for defense. The Germans had held it since the
beginning of the war and during those four years had spared no
pains or labor to make it impregnable. In addition to many
lines of elaborate concrete trenches, forts and dug-outs pro-
lected by masses of barbed wire, the woods were filled with
concrete “pill boxes,” machine nests and barbed wire. German
machine guns were everywhere, even up in the trees.
While in the north the advances of the Allies were spectacu-
Jar, here, after the initial rush in September, the progress of
our troops was only accomplished by a “ceaseless slamming
night and day. ” The American Divisions were poured into
the bloody arena, drawn out, filled up with reinforcements and
thrown in again. When the initiative had been taken from the
Germans, General Pershing wisely took the responsibility of
supplementing the veteran Divisions with others which had little
preliminary training so as to maintain a continuous attack from
the North Sea to Switzerland. Inspired by those to whom they
were attached, and by the knowledge that “the Huns were being
licked,” the new Divisions fought equally as well as their asso-
ciates, and wood by wood, hill by hill, took and kept the points
they attacked. -
After leaving the Verdun sector the Division con-
structed no trenches, except that the men dug individual fox
holes and crept into shell craters. Perhaps if they had
28
intrenched more and been more careful, some lives might have
been saved, though valuable days would have been lost, which
would have given the Germans time to regain their morale.
It is also probable that the steady daily loss that occurs in
trench fighting would during this delay have been as great as
that which was sustained by the attacking troops. American
military men believe that it was the confidence with which the
Americans advanced and the knowledge of the Germans that
nothing would stop them that made their advance successful.
In the broken country, where the Brigade fought, the infan-
try as a rule used rifles very little, depending on the hand
grenades. They used their 37s and Stokes mortars scarcely at
all, and machine guns and automatic rifles a great deal. The
Germans used machine guns extensively.
While there has been great difference of opinion among
the men fighting in different sectors as to the methods which
proved best, the concensus of opinion is that the result was
obtained by sheer rush, keeping at it day and night regardless
of losses or anything but defeating the enemy, while the artil-
lery kept up with the infantry and maintained an incessant and
annihilating fire.
The Brigade was in action from one to eighteen hours Sep-
tember 12, 1918. Batteries B, E and F, 106th Field Artillery,
were in reserve.
Here the Brigade fired its first big barrage through the
Forges Woods for the opening battle of the First American
Army's big drive. Although heavily shelled during the last
twenty minutes of the Barrage Schedule the 52nd Field Artil-
lery kept up its fire. Shells burst within 15 or 20 yards of the
guns, and showered splinters all around them. One shell landed
two feet from the 4th gun of one of the batteries of the 105th,
but failed to explode. If it had done so, it would
have destroyed the gun and killed the entire crew.
Another exploded near, in one of the other batteries.
One shell burst near one of the guns the same
morning just as they had completed the bar-


29
rage. Six men were wounded; two died later of their wounds.
About the same time gas shells had burst near the guns and
two men who were aiding the wounded men fell victims of
the gas.
The Germans were steadily pushed backward and the objec-
tive taken.
The 33rd Division was then sent to the west bank of the
Meuse, between Bethincourt, Forges, Gercourt and Dannevoux,
where on September 26th it joined in the Meuse-Argonne offen-
sive. This was a prepared attack. The 33rd Division was the
Right Division of the 3rd United States Army Corps. This was
the Right Corps of the First American Army. The 52nd was
on the right flank position on the east of the Meuse and later
participated in the drive on the right bank when it was with the
17th French Corps. The 80th Division was on its left; the units
of the 17th French Corps occupied the sector to the right of the
First American Army, but made no Infantry attack.
The 33rd Division carried all its objectives, including the
Hegen Stellung, and organized a sector for defense along the
west bank of the Meuse from Dannevoux to Forges. In this
attack the 52nd Brigade Field Artillery had attached to it the
212th R. A. C. French (9 Batteries) and the Second Battalion
308th R. A. L. French (2 Bitteries). The 102nd Trench Mortar
Battery of the Brigade was in reserve.
The 52nd Brigade continued in this action from September
27th to October 2nd at Forges, Comsenvoye, Dannevoux, Meuse
River sector. Its work consisted of holding the right flank of
the First American Army along the west bank of the Meuse
River from Forges to the westerly edge of the Bois, de le Cote
Lemont, during its organization for defense by the 33rd Divi-
sion under continued observed Artillery fire. The 102nd Trench
Mortar Battery was in reserve.
The 52nd Brigade participated in the attack on Brieulles
from October 3rd to October 7th. This attack was a continua-
tion of one by the First American Army and was participated
in by the Fourth Division on the left of the 52nd Brigade, sup-
30
ported by the artillery fire of the latter. The Trench du Teton
just south of Brieulles was a strongly held field work, and with
the enemy works in the town of Brieulles itself had prevented
the advance of the 80th Division for several days, and that
Division had been replaced by the 4th Division for the pur-
pose of the attack. The position was taken in this attack and
thereby enabled the troops of the First American Army to the
west of Brieulles to advance in the direction of Dun sur Meuse.
The 102nd Trench Mortar Battery was in reserve and trans-
ported ammunition up to the battery positions with its motor
equipment.
The following letter from Colonel De Witt C. Weld, com-
manding the 105th Field Artillery, vividly describes those
experiences of the Brigade:
Somewhere in France, Oct. 1, 1918.
There is a temporary lull in the battle and here in my dugout,
8 ft. x 8 ft., seated at a table made of box boards on a bench built of a
couple of trench boards; by the light of a candle I seize a moment
to pen a line home.
Outside, the air is crisp with the snap of fall and the Whizz Bangs
and Archies and Jack Johnsons are apparently asleep, but when I am
trying to sleep they will surely wake up in the wee small hours and
bark out their sinister music.
When our rather short training period was over we were hastily
entrained and on the funny little French cars with a high pitched
shrieking engine rolled off—North—orders read “vicinity of Luneville,”
and when we detrained it was in a strange looking land, peaceful
enough as to natural landscape, but an active, bustling road full of
military of all kinds. That night without lights, with rumbling cais-
sons, guns and wagon train and the pad of the horses’ hoofs, the long
column wound its way snakelike along the back roads assigned for our
route, while the motor supply trains chugged on in an endless proces-
sion on the main highways. To add to the discomfort it was raining
and the road a slippery mass, and as the country is rolling it was the
frequent thing to command “Cannoneers at the wheels” and up the
hill they’d go, horses tugging, men straining at the spokes or pushing.
Sometimes a bad case would require a picket rope and a long line to
get it out, but on must go the column just the same. Just before dawn
we pulled into the tiny village to serve as our day stop and under sheds,
tucked away under trees in orchards, or camouflaged next to half
ruined walls the tired horses fed, somewhere in a sheltered spot the
31
Regiment halted and hid for the day. None too soon, for in the first
light of the breaking day a few dark shapes like giant birds of prey
could be seen circling about eager to see and report such signs of mili.
tary activity as their keen eyes could discover. We knew the peculiar
intermittent whirr of the Hun engine and soon could even make out
the black cross of the barbarian. Again nightfall—and again the night
march, this time ending at dawn in the muddy wood where on a chance
a Hun bombing squadron seemed to welcome us by an ineffective
release of some fifteen large bombs, which, though missing the mark,
made a terrific roar and an awe-inspiring view of forty-foot sheets of
flame and smoke with each explosion. Another night, and the firing
batteries pulled into their positions, relieving the French who had held
them so gallantly, and the quiet sector became American and active.
For a week or ten days, artillery duels, infantry raids and bombing
parties measured each adversary and we had received our baptism of
fire—a few, alas, their last. Then orders came, positions were changed,
troops poured in at night, the roads were choked with unending trains
of artillery, infantry and supplies going in all directions—yet at day.
break only an occasional horseman or a single wagon or a small group
of men could be seen. Here, there and everywhere under camouflage
men sweated and toiled at the gun pits and trenches, linesmen ran tele-
phone wires, centrals were opened, and out of the apparent disorder
appeared a vast connected network, co-ordinated and controlled, each
small human a cog in the big machine ready to be set in motion. Ru-
mors of impending attack began to circulate—the enemy were ceaseless
in their prying into our secrets and daily the air was alive with planes
and balloons attacking and being attacked as they sought to gain or
prevent information. Nightly intelligence reports of discoveries of
enemy activity and positions disclosed by these active eyes of the army
would be laid before each commander, and maps of located enemy
works, dispositions of troops, etc., would get to the tables for study.
Suddenly the order for attack with minute details for every contingency
came in. Then the Artillery Commander made his plans against the
D day and H hour and the barrage tables were figured and plotted—
each carefully checked and prepared. On September 25th the Command-
ing General of the Division summoned his artillery commanders in the
late afternoon, and hurrying down there to his Command Post a few
miles to the rear in his more or less contracted quarters were gathered
all of us on whom the responsibility of success or failure lay, and
impressively he said, “Gentlemen, I am now about to tell you what by
orders must not be written. The D day is the 26th and the H hour
5.30 A. M. I expect you to be ready and able to carry the action to
a successful end.” A few more details and we separated. Then the
hurried final hard work to finish that inevitably last thing and we
lay down for a few hours to rest. At 11 P. M. I was awakened as
arranged and went out into the mild night air, a peaceful calm, a beau-
tiful moon flooding the sky with silver. An occasional spit of fire from

the enemy hills, then a burst in our lines as the missile rent earth and
trees in its fall. No reply from our guns—absolute silence. Suddenly
at 11.30 P.M., far in our rear and all along the line east and west as
far as I could see, white flashes and dull roars of the heavy 340's, 220's
and 155's announced the first stage of the impending battle, incessantly
they roared, and then without warning at 2.30 A.M. an added angry and
sharper chorus of Corps batteries of 155's long and 105's joined in with
their allotments. The Boche batteries had long ago ceased, too bewil-
dered and shaken to go on, and so the increasing chorus went on till
5.30 A. M., when, with a perfect screech and ear splitting crack, the
Divisional Artillery 75's and 155's dropped their destructive curtain
of fire on the enemy trenches and for forty-five minutes made a veritable
cataract upon the surprised foe, then it lifted and creeping steadily
on up the slopes, progressing forward slowly across the allotted area—
closely followed by the infantry with sharpened bayonets and eager
drawn faces catching the discomfited Heines at the doors of their dug-
outs, dispatching those who showed fight or gathering in those with
hands aloft, and crazed terror-stricken faces ran out of the thick woods
mumbling strange words or uttering strange half animal sounds in their
semi-delerium. For over five hours this went on, nature aiding by
shrouding the scene in a thick pall of smoke and fog. At noon peace
reigned in our sector, the last spiteful Hun machine gun was silenced.
all objectives had been gained, and we had dug deep into the German
lines and were holding and organizing the new front seven miles nearer
the German border. I could fill in many a detail with sidelights, but
it suffices that so hurried was the flight of the enemy that whole batteries
of both heavy and light artillery fell into our hands unharmed, over
1,000 prisoners, and millions of dollars’ worth of property. The papers
are full of the rest of the big battle front, but this was my view of
my first big battle, pieced out from my information service with
the infantry reporting to me by 'phone, by signal and by runner as I
sat at my map board in my Command Post with telephone to ear,
marking off our progress on the map in front of me, reading the
messages, taking reports and giving necessary orders.
From October 8th to 13th the Brigade was engaged in the
attack on Bois de Chaume, Bois plat Chene and Consenvoye.
This was a prepared attack by the 17th French Corps, Major
General Claudel commanding, to which Corps the 33rd Divi-
sion and the 52nd Field Artillery Brigade had been trans-
ferred for the purpose of the attack and were on the left flank.
The 29th Division was on the right of the Brigade and the 80th
Division, 3rd United States Corps, on its left. The original
plan called for participation of one Battalion of the 132nd
34
Infantry, supported by the Machine Gun Battalions, the artil-
lery being organized into a groupment consisting of the 104th
Field Artillery, Second Battalion of the 105th Field Artillery
and the Second Battalion of the 106th Field Artillery, under
command of Colonel Emery T. Smith for the direct support of
the attack, the remainder of the Brigade being at the disposal
of the Division Commander for additional artillery support.
As the attack progressed, the amount of opposition which
developed required reinforcement of the attacking troops by
the entire 66th Infantry Brigade supported by all the Machine
Gun Battalions under the command of Brigadier General Wolf,
which Brigade was subsequently relieved by the 65th Infantry
Brigade under command of Brigadier General King. The
Infantry of the 33rd Division on three successive days carried
its attack to its objective opposite Giselher Stellung, but was
ordered each time to retire, to make contact with the 29th
Division on its right which had been unable to overcome a strong
enemy opposition in the Bois d'Ormont. During this battle
over 5,000 prisoners were captured by the 17th French Corps.
The 102nd Trench Mortar Battery was in reserve and trans-
ported ammunition to Battery position with its motor equip-
thent.
On October 14th the Brigade was engaged in the attack on
the Heights of the Grande Montagne, the 104th Field Artillery
using only its Second Battalion and the 105th its Second
Battalion.
This was a prepared attack by the 29th Division on the
Heights of the Grande Montagne, and was supported by the
fire of the above-mentioned units of the 52nd Field Artillery
Brigade, and was intended to push forward the line of that
Division to the objective previously attained by the 33rd Divi-
sion. The 26th Division Infantry, French, was on the right of
the 29th Division. The enemy strongly opposed every attack,
and but slight advance was made by the American
troops, who sustained heavy losses through ma-
chine gun and artillery fire. The 102nd Trench
Mortar Battery was in reserve.

35
From October 15th to 21st the 52nd Brigade was engaged
in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, at Vilosnes Sivry, Bois de
Chaume line. .
This action consisted of supporting the 33rd Division in
holding and organizing the position captured by them on the
14th, and which they held under heavy observed artillery fire
directed by German observers, which continued day and night,
and with a great deal of gas, mostly mustard. In addition to
the work of supplying ammunition to Battery positions with its
motor equipment the 102nd Trench Mortar Battery had four
guns in action during the night of October 20th and 21st in an
attack on Vilosnes.
On October 21st the 33rd Division was relieved by the 15th
French Colonial Division, and the 52nd Artillery Brigade was
relieved by the Divisional Artillery of this Division. The
Brigade having been engaged in constant fighting at the front
for forty-five days was marched to rest areas by way of Baley-
court as follows:
Headquarters at Dieue. .
The 104th Field Artillery at Bois de Cinq Freres.
105th and 106th at Bois la Ville and Fauberg Pave Verdun.
The 102nd Ammunition Train and 102nd Mortar Battery at
Fauberg Verdun.
After five days’ rest the 33rd Division was to take over a
“quiet” sector from the 79th Division. The latter had artillery,
but were short of horses, so without its expected rest the 52nd
Field Artillery Brigade on October 25th was detached from
the 33rd Division and attached to the 79th Division (which was
composed of troops from Pennsylvania, Maryland, the District
of Columbia, and commanded by Major General Joseph E.
Kuhn), and went into the front line east of the sector it had
left on October 20th.
The 79th had been fighting hard west of this line, and had
been withdrawn for a brief rest a short time before.
The Brigade as part of the 79th Division left Baleycourt,
went through Thieville to Charney and across the river to Bras

(where the 105th was heavily shelled) and through Gamag-
neaux to the hill to the east of the town and took over the Grand
Montagne Sector on the east bank of the Meuse, occupied by the
29th Division, the 52nd Field Artillery relieving the 158th Field
Artillery on October 28th, 29th and 30th. The 158th Field
Artillery had been there for a week and told the 52nd Brigade
men that the latter could not stand it for more than that period.
In fact, the enemy’s shelling proved to be absolutely terrible,
with great quantities of gas. The 52nd, however, stayed in the
sector to the end.
On October 29th and November 1st and 2nd the 52nd Field
Artillery was again heavily engaged in the Meuse-Argonne
offensive in the Grande Montague, Belleu Bois, Bois d’Ormont
SeCtOr.
This action consisted of holding Grande Montagne, Belleu
Bois, Bois d’Ormont front line under continual artillery and
machine gun fire which was controlled by direct observation
from the enemy positions in Haramont and Bois d’Ormont
and in supporting the 79th Division. This was in the 17th
French Corps, the 15th Colonial French Division being on its
left and the 26th United States Division on its right. The Third
United States Corps was on the left of the 17th French Corps.
The 102nd Trench Mortar Battery was in reserve.
On November 1st, 2nd and 3rd the 52nd Brigade took part
in the battle of Dun-sur-Meuse.
This was a prepared attack by the Third United States
Corps to advance the line held by them along the Camel-
Brieulles Road and farther to the west of the Meuse, and from
Brieulles to Dan-sur-Meuse to the north, and resulted in the
driving of the enemy from the heights on the west bank of
the Meuse. The attack was supported by a demonstration fire
by the 52nd Field Artillery Brigade. -
On November 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th the 52nd Brigade was
engaged in the attack on Harsumont Ridge and Borne du
Cornouiller.
This battle was started by a reconnaissance in force by the
38
158th Infantry Brigade in the direction of Borne du Cornouiller,
and two reconnaissances in force by the 157th Infantry Brigade
in the direction of Bois de la Grande Montagne towards Reville
and Etraye, in conjunction with an attack on the left by the 15th
Colonial Division, the 105th Field Artillery supporting the
158th Infantry Brigade and the 104th Field Artillery the 157th
Infantry. It developed into an engagement involving the
entire 158th Infantry Brigade and a large part of the 157th
Infantry Brigade. After repeated attacks on the Borne de
Cornouiller, the enemy was forced to retire and the 79th Divi-
sion, pivoting on its right, advanced its left to Sollerino Farm,
connecting up then with the 15th D. I. C. F. which had crossed
the Meuse at Vosnes, taken Haramont Ridge and reached
the farm. In this advance the 79th Division broke the Gieseiher
Stellung and the Kriemheld Stellung, two heavily fortified lines
previously considered to be impregnable. The 102nd Trench
Mortar Battery of the 52nd Brigade was in reserve.
On November 8th the 52nd Brigade participated in the
operations resulting in the capture of Reville (two milometres
from Danvilliers) Etraye and Crepion.
This was an advance by the 79th Division through the Bois
de la Grande Montague, Bois d'Etraye, Enisde, Wavrille, Belleu
Bois, Bois de Chene and Bois d'Ormont, resulting in the capture
of the towns of Reville, Etraye, Wavrille and Crepion.
On November 7th the 11th Colonial French Corps took
control of the troops formerly constituting the 17th French
Corps, General Claudel remaining in their command. The
102nd Trench Mortar Battery of the 52nd Field Artillery was
in reserve.
On November 10th and 11th the Brigade was engaged in
the operations against Cote du Romagne, Cote du Morimont and
Cote du Chateau.
This was an advance by the 79th Division, includ-
ing an attack on the high abrupt hills 328, 319, Cote
du Morimont and Cote du Chateau, rising from the
plains east of the Tinte Brook opposite Danvilliers.

39
These were strongly prepared positions in the Kreimheld Stel-
lung dominating the plains and were held with aggressive
persistence by the enemy because of their strategic importance.
The 157th Infantry Brigade succeeded in capturing Hills
329 and 319. The 158th Infantry Brigade was obliged to
attack the Cote d'Orne (Hill 356), although outside of its
sector, because of its dominating position on their left flank,
and made four successive attacks thereon without effecting its
capture. .
The 15th Colonial Infantry Division, French, was on the left
and the 26th United States Division on the right of the 79th
Division. The 102nd Mortar Battery was in reserve.
This action was in full progress, the German line being so
close as to be in full view (which is a very risky distance
for Artillery), and a part of it was threatening a counter-attack
when hostilities were terminated by the armistice going into
effect at eleven o’clock on November 11, 1918.
At different times during this campaign there had been
many rumors about “peace,” that “the enemy were giving up,”
&c., which were all considered by our Army to be without
foundation. Then about November 9th and 10th came word
that “a wireless dispatch had been picked up” that an armistice
had been signed. This was, however, considered to be “a Ger-
man trick.”
The advance had been so continuous and rapid that com-
munications were very difficult, and in many instances the loca-
tions of different organizations were unknown even to Head-
quarters. No one was taking any chances of being taken off
their guard. It was, therefore, not until the morning of Novem-
ber 11th that official orders came to the 79th Division that firing
was to stop at 11 A.M. on that day. The Infantry and the 52nd
Field Artillery hated the enemy bitterly and was resolved to
fight to the last minute. They consequently fired all their guns
to the last second with the greatest possible rapidity. This fire
was returned by the Germans. In fact, some American troops
on the left of the 52nd, who, having learned of the armistice,

did not open fire in the morning, were heavily shelled by the
Germans and thus compelled to fire in return. -
At exactly eleven o’clock the incessant roar of the artillery
stopped short, and a dead silence resulted which was most
uncanny—in fact it was two days before the men became accus-
tomed to it and some could not even sleep.
Many officers had wondered how the men would fight
against people they had no particular hatred for, but they found
that as soon as they saw their own dead the men were bitter
and keen to fight. They were, however, very decent to prisoners,
and apparently the enemy were of about the same frame of
mind. .
The Artillery fire of the Brigade was very good; the guns
proved to be accurate, worked well, and the results of fire were
extraordinary. The officers found in going over captured
ground they had shot up that the demolition had been very
great. In fact, it was curious how accurately the artillerists had
been able to estimate where the enemy ought to be, and to hit
him. On the other hand, it proved to be also extraordinary
how many a shell will miss, often no one being hurt after very.
heavy shelling, so that the number injured was largely a matter
of luck.
The 52nd had been keeping right up with the Infantry and
almost followed them “over the top.” This was very hard on
the horses. Although the men helped them by pulling on a
picket line and pushing at the wheels, many of them died or
became incapacitated. Our troops expected to find France one
mass of dugouts and trenches, but for ten days preceding the
armistice they found almost none. The men slept around the
guns or dug a hole two feet deep and put a shelter tent over it.
If they were fortunate enough to find an old trench, they dug
a hole on the side. Most of them had not had their clothes off
for five weeks. They thought nothing of being soaked from the
waist down and to lie down on the wet ground to sleep—and it
did not affect their health to do so. During this campaign the
weight of the ammunition fired by the 52nd Field Artillery
42
Brigade aggregated 5,290,115 pounds, or 26,450 tons. The
104th Field Artillery fired 66,782 rounds, the 105th 81,096
and the 106th 33,036; total, 180,914 rounds.
After the signing of the armistice the 52nd Brigade Field
Artillery was sent to Verdun, where it was quartered in win-
dowless and frequently roofless houses in the suburbs of that
city, where it remained for three weeks.
When the Brigade was at Verdun the released prisoners
began to stream in—all kinds, American, French, English, Rus-
sian, Italian, Roumanian and others, who had been working on
roads and other things for the Germans, who just turned them
loose when they withdrew. They apparently were well nour.
ished. They were taken in by the French, assorted according
to nationalities and sent to their respective countries, except the
Russians. They had picked up a lot of discarded American
uniforms on the way, and were a most unsightly crew, dirty and
unkempt, but, as an officer wrote, “very much on the job at meal
times.” -
It was cold with ice and snow and quite uncomfortable at
this time for the men who were billeted in shot-up buildings
without windows and mostly without roofs. However, after life
in dugouts and trenches, almost any place seemed to them to
be pretty good. The French villagers have but one fire and that
a small open one in a single room of their houses. The other
rooms feel as cold and damp as the weather outside. Yet the
people seem healthy, although sanitation and ordinary cleanli-
ness is unknown.
Fortunately, there was very little influenza among the
Brigade, and the sick were very few, considering the exposure
and the colds that came with the rainy season. -
As soon as the congestion of the railroad permitted it, the
52nd Field Artillery Brigade was moved across France and
joined its old Division, the 27th, which the officers and men
had not seen since they had parted at Newport News in May.
Both the Division and the 52nd Brigade were proud of what
each other had achieved.
43
With the cessation of the actual fighting the great tension
which officers and men had been under relaxed with the result
that they all felt unstrung and “let down” for some time. The
Headquarters was at a small town called Montsur, and the
Brigade was billeted in the neighboring villages at different
points, the 105th being in January extended along a forty-
mile line, the men being in houses, barns and lots. New equip-
ment was issued and this organization began to prepare to
embark, it being supposed that it would sail about January
16th. Want of shipping, however, rendered this impracticable.
In the meantime, the troops were trained and stiffened in dis-
cipline.
During this time the mails were very irregular. A letter
from one of the officers written in January stated that he had
received no mail for three weeks and then had received twenty-
nine letters from his family.
The 52nd Brigade was reviewed by General Pershing on
January 30, 1919, and paraded six thousand strong. It had,
however, neither its guns nor its horses, they having been turned
in before it left the front. At the close of the review General
Pershing congratulated General Wingate upon the fine appear-
ance that his Brigade had presented and upon the splendid
record that it had made. He assured the officers that they
would find that their service would be elevating and inspiring
in their future life. He spoke very sincerely and solemnly,
and his remarks were very impressive.
On February 24, 1919, the various regiments of the brigade
left the stations where they were billeted and proceeded to Brest
for embarkation. Most of the Brigade sailed from there in the
America on March 6th and arrived in New York on March 13,
1919, after a very smooth and beautiful voyage, the Statue of
J_iberty in the Bay being a most welcome sight to the officers.
and men. They were given a splendid reception, being met by
numerous excursion boats and vessels loaded with bands, city
officials and above all with their parents, wives and sweet-
hearts—and at last realized that they were once more at home.

service, is published for the information of the command:
“December 24, 1918.
To the Commanding Officer, 105th F. A. Regt., A. E. F.
Sir:
My mission with the American Artillery ends today; the war
being over.
A small standing army of occupation will soon be sufficient in
order to maintain peace in Germany and to make sure that the con-
ditions of the armistice are carried on by the enemy.
My French regiment is amongst those troops of occupation and
is calling me back.
About to leave your Regiment, I wish to express to all of your
officers, non-commissioned officers and cannoneers, my gratitude for
the most cordial and friendly welcome which I have met all throughout
my stay with them, as well as my thanks for the considerable effort
which they have accomplished, both at the School of Fire of Camp de
Souge, where they undoubtedly suffered on account of an intense train-
ing, combined with a very depressing climate, and at the front, where
they had to go through the worst conditions which a horse-drawn field
artillery outfit ever met.
Both officers and enlisted men never departed from their very high
spirit; their energy, their valor, and their gallantry have caused the
greatest admiration on the part of the Allies.
As Liaison Officer with the French Army, I would have had much
pleasure in handing them some of the material rewards which we grant
to our own soldiers, but the High Command has decided otherwise.
47
The heroism of the Americans in this war will remain unrewarded to
the eyes of the crowds, but the high spirited Gentlemen Soldiers of the
105th F. A. will find a reward of the highest degree in the satisfaction
to have gallantly paid their debt to their nation.
Some of your boys will remain mutilated through the injuries
received; others rest forever in the soil of France. Tell their families,
when you go back to the United States, that the sacrifice of their sons
has not been in vain, and that the souvenir of those gallant boys will
always be present in my mind.
I salute you respectfully, I salute your dead, the American flag,
and the victorious colors of your Regiment.
(Signed) Yves A. BERTRAND, Lieut. F. A.
French Army Liaison Officer.”
By order of Colonel WELD:
FREDK. DE FIGANIERE,
Captain, 105th Field Artillery,
Adjutant.
From Major General Joseph E. Kuhn, Commanding 79th Division, A.E.F.
Headquarters 79th Division, A. E. F., France.
18th November, 1918.
From: Commanding General.
To: Brig. General George A. Wingate, 52nd Field Artillery Brigade.
Subject: Commendation.
I desire to record my appreciation of the manner in which you
and your brigade have functioned in support of the 79th Division.
During the recent operations north of Verdun October 30th to Novem-
ber 11th, inclusive, your brigade was called upon many times for
artillery support and frequently the aid desired made it necessary for
you to employ the full resources and capacity of your brigade. You,
your officers and men have always responded to the call of the infantry
with the utmost cheerfulness and enthusiasm and our artillery support
has been all that could be desired.
I beg that you will extend to your officers and men the sincere
thanks of myself and of the Division as a whole for their hearty and
whole hearted co-operation.
(Signed) Joseph E. KUHN,
Major General, U. S. A.

Supplementing the official commendation of General George
Bell, commanding the 33rd Division, the correspondent of the
New York Evening Sun, in a detailed report dated October 3rd
and published October 5th, stated that in the attack at Forges the
infantry had to cross a broad gully which was intersected by the
bed of a creek which was swollen by rains, the whole bed of
which was strung with barbed wires many strands thick. The
Germans held the rising ground beyond this, and unless the
wires were destroyed and the barrage perfect, they could
annihilate the Infantry with their machine guns while it was
floundering in the mud. In consequence, the Illinois men who
composed the 33rd Division expressed apprehension of the situ-
ation, saying “that they could not get across the brook unless
they had a great barrage, and that as the New York artillery
fellows had never been at the front before, they were worried
over their ability to do it.” After the battle, however, they
told the correspondent that “in 25 minutes after the 52nd
Brigade had opened fire, the Infantry advanced and found that
“there were just an even cut in the earth where that barrage hit.
There wasn't any wire and the only trouble we had in crossing
the brook was getting our feet wet,” and they crossed without
a single casualty. That while the 75's of the 104th and 105th
had destroyed the obstructions in the brook, the 155 Howitzers
of the 106th had destroyed the machine guns which were at the
crest of the slope, that the 52nd lifted the fire three hundred
yards every three minutes for the first two hours and then every
five minutes, and that the barrage was so accurate that not a
shell touched the attacking force.
