To the Officers and Men of the 54l3t Field Artllleiy; ;-
I congratulate you on your excellent record
of serrioe in the Great War, - a record which has fulfilled the
promise given during your training at Caop Funston, It is an ex-
cellent record.
The regiment was organized on the fifth of
September, 1917; left Gamp Funston on the second of June, 1918;
arrived in England on the seventh of July and in France on the
ninth of July, 1918. It trained at Artillery Training Center,
Camp de Souge, Bordeaux, and left there for the Toul Sector
Septemher tvrelfth. Went into the line near Euv&zin on September
seventeenth and was the first American artillery to support there
following the St. Mihiel drive. Remained in that general locality,
constantly under fire, for nine weeks supporting the 89th, 37th
and 28th Divisions. Participated in the Second Array's Metz offens-
ive Hovember eighth to eleventh and moved forward into Germany as
part of the Army of Occupation on Hovember twenty-ninth, your
colors have been decorated by the Commander-in-Chief, American
Expeditionary Force, for participation in the Euvezin Sector and
for duty with the advance of the Second Army, v^hich was t^rrain-
ated by the Armistice.
You have made a fine record in a division .
which comes back with a most excellent record for discipline and
efficiency, and loyal and gallant service. The record, flj^^tiCC,
iivislon, is second to none. ^
From the first, I have taken great pride
in the Division and the organizations which com)ose it and have
followed your career through the war/t't?^ **^ 4^^^«»^*.-^M>^*«*»«7
I take special pleasure in extending to you
most sincere congratulations on your splendid record and in wish-
ing you the largest possible measure of success now that you are
again in the homo land.
Keep up your interests in a sound policy of
national defense and pass on to those about you. and those who
come after you, the lessons of the great war. "^ *'*'>{, «-»-<-^ c

HEADQUARTERS
EIGHTY NINTH DIVISION
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES
GERMANY
May 6, 1919.
My dear Colonel-- Davis :
It is a pleasure to sF.y a woi-d^now that the regiment
is about to leave Gerijany regarding its service in Europe.
The 241st Field Artillery- entered "tha line^'trl'the"'
Euvezln sector , .northwest of Toul, on Septemher 17, 1918,
remaining on dTity until the Armistice - a period of 55 days.
It supported successively the 89th, 3Vth. f;nd £8th Divisions,
cooperating at all times with the Infantry to the fullest
e:xtent. On BoveHiber 10th, it supported the 66th Infantry
Brigade in the attaot on Dommartin end LechauSsee , which was
the ■beginning of the offensive on Metz. On the morning of
the 11th, one battalion had talcen position in the line of
the in Cantry outposts n'c-ar Harimbois Fme . , and the other bat-
talion v;as ready to move forward with the infantry as it
jumped off.
The Commanding General, 28th Division, highly comiaended
the 164th Field Artillery Brigade,- of v.hioh the regiment is a
unit, for its fine support of the activities of the infantry.
The men of the 28th Division infantry freely expressed their
confidence in the supporting artillery. While on the front
the conduct of the men in general was above reproach at all
times and under all .circumstances , many revealing unusual
ability under added reeponsibilities.
The regiment arrived in Germany, December 7, 1918, and
hee done well its part during th^ trying period of the
Armistice. The regiment ie composed largely of Colorado men
and is marked, in a division with, relatively little illiteracy,
lor-the superior intelligence and' fine physique of the men.
It has been a source of regret that the Artillery did not join
the Division earlier, during the period of active operations,
and could not support it duri^ig the great offensives. It is
beyond a doubt that such support would have been of the best.
You have every reason. to^e proud of the fine recora of your
regiment-, and' you' are justly entitled to great credit for its
efficiency.
The Division Couuaander extends his congratulations on
the fine record of the 341st Field Artillery, end best wishes
for its members on demobilization.
Colonel Kobei't Davis,
Comjnandmg 341st P. A.
Sir.oerely yours.

Training was resumed in January and continued until the time of entraining
for the port of embarkation. Service firing under all kinds of weather conditions
was had on the range at Nusbaum. During January and February divisional
liaison problems were held weekly. Weekly practice marches were on the
program. However, none of the training was carried out to the fullest extent
on account of the small strength of the batteries, which were depleted by the
large guard required, by leaves, by illness, and by constant calls for men for
special duty or detached ser\'ice. It was not uncommon for a battery to have
only thirty men for duty. It was absolutely impossible for this small number
of men to care for the horses and materiel and prepare for the numerous
inspections and at the same time go through a training schedule.
Although when the regiment was organized, the men were drawn from only
four states, yet on April 4, 1919, members of the regiment were from thirty-four
states and one foreign country. Following is a list showing the states and the
number of men from each: Colorado, 657; Missouri, 190; South Dakota, lti4;
New York, 84; Illinois, 59; Wisconsin, 35; Ohio, 29; Nebraska, 24; Louisiana,
19; Iowa, 17; Connecticut, 17; Kansas, 14; New Mexico, 12; Minnesota, 11;
Pennsylvania, 11; Mlichigan, 8; Texas, 7; Oklahoma, 7; Kentucky, 7; New-
Jersey, 6; Indiana, b; Massachusetts, 5 ; North Carolina, 5 ; N-lississippi, 4; West
Virginia, 4; South Carolina, 4; Alabama, 3 ; California, 3 ; Florida, 3 ; Washington,
Wyoming Arizona, N4aine, Tennessee, 1 each. One man claimed Paris, France,
as his residence.
On April 23rd, the regiment as a unit of the 89th Division was reviewed at
the Aviation Field, at Tre\'es, by General Pershing. Here the men recei\'ed
compliments from General Pershing and General Donnelly upon the excellent
condition of the horses and materiel, which bespoke hard work.
Immediately after the review, we commenced turning in equipment and
materiel, ending with the final good-bye to the horses.
One-half of the regiment entrained at Erdorf for Brest, France, on N4ay 8th,
and the other half on the following day. Three days in the box-cars, two days
at the embarkation camp at Brest spent in being deloused and undergoing
physical examinations, and we hoarded the S.S. Agamemnon. The next day.
May 16th, at noon, the ship weighed anchor and the regiment was homeward
bound. /Vlthough crowded, conditions were much better than on the trip to
France. The "chow" was not served abundantly, but it was clean.
On May 24th we sailed up New York Harbor, docking at Hoboken, New-
Jersey. The next morning found the Regiment at Camp Upton, Long Island,
New York. Another debusing and the men were ready for segregation into
detachments for the various camps -where they were to be discharged. Regimental
headquarters was sent to Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming.

Headquarters Company
HEAD(^UARTERS Company, an organization of many officers, sergeant
majoi's, color sergeants, sergeants, musicians, corporals, cooks, clerks,
chauffeurs, orderlies and prhates, ser\es no otkier purpose than to knit
the batteries together and enable the regiment to function as a whole. The
scope of its duties is general and \-ague, not specific. Its duties do not permit
its working as a unit. Rather they require that it be an organization of indi\-iduals,
most o( them specialists, who work more or less indi\idually and ai'c foi'ced to
assume varying degrees of responsibility.
To build such an organization, Lieutenant Tabbert, the first commanding
officer, was gi\'en on September 5th three men from the Regular Ai~my, one a
band leader. On September 7th the first recruits were recei\"ed, a few men
assigned, either because of their musical ability or special c^ualifications. Shortly
afterwards a nondescript lot of recruits, fanners, miners, cow-punchci's, clerks,
butchers, and bakers in civilian life, were added. Those were all from Colorado
and formed the nucleus of the company. On October 12th fifty-three men from
South Dakota were assigned. Three days later twenty-four Missouiians came
from the lb4th Depot Brigade. /Ys these men were assigned, they went through
the usual process of a cold bath, new ill-fitting clothing, medical examination,
and immunization from typhoid and small-pox. The cold bath will always he
remembered, for it was really cold and it ideally prepai'ed them for other una\-oid-
able disagreeable ways of the Army.
Without delay a start on the lengthy training schedule, necessary to mold
civilians into soldiers capable of filling the specialists' jobs of an artillery regiment
w as made. First through the school of the soldier, where the left foot figured so
prominently, these men passed. After they were moi'e or less familiar with foot
work, militar\" courtesies, hygiene, the Articles of War, and work in the specialists'
details began. Did a man know anything about the telephone, the radio, signalling,
or scout duty^ It was safe to assume that if he did not show" promise of learning
quickly, he would be weeded out and sent to some other outfit.
This training was punctuated by long hikes, inspections, and physical
inspections, such as onl\- the ingenuity of the Army Medic is capable.
Along in the winter of 1917-18 we i-ecei\-ed what seemed at that time an
a\-alanche of equipment — buzzers, flags, telephones, and one Battery Commanders
Telescope. Text hooks on all military subjects were all times easily a\-ailable.
The long wooden barracks was the scene of much acti\ity during the winter
evenings. Buglers practiced unmolested, future radio experts monkied with

their buzzers, and semaphore enthusiasts waved their sticks around. At times
there was sufficient activity to drive the "gold-bricks" from their bunks to seek
other places that offered more rest and quietness.
We boasted of a football team. To the men it was apparently invincible-
It put up a good fight for the regimental championship, it requiring two games
for the champions to push it back into second place. The championship game
was hard-fought, not entirely bloodless. There was some feeling between the
organizations represented. That evening the winning battery endeavored to
parade through Headquarter's barracks bearing its silver trophy. The triumphal
march was cut suddenly short by physical force and the head of the column
turned homeward.
Along with the routine work there often showed up strong evidence of pleasure
and cheer. Probably the outstanding event of good cheer was the Thanksgiving
dinner. How many turkeys, how many "G. I.'s" full of salad, mince meat,
how many boxes of cigars and cigarettes were provided for that occasion, only
the mess sergeant knew. Civilians who attended that feast must have carried
away highly colored ideas of life in the National Army.
For two months, during the fall of 1Q17, the company had four horses. E\'ei'y
day these four horses were surrounded by the entire personnel, who took turns
in grooming by detail, saddling, unsaddling, feeding, and watering. Periodical
issues finally brought the number of horses up to authorized strength.
These horses were not all broken. Frequently riding exhibitions would be staged
by our cow-punchers. We learned to ride like a soldier without saddle or bridle.
Each ride caused a new gait in the marching of the enlisted men, at least until
the blisters had disappeared. Watering was nearly as pleasant as learning to
ride. The nearest available water was a mile awa\'. Each man would start
out to water, leading four or fi\-e horses. Sometimes he returned with that
number and sometimes he did not. During the zero weather watering was the
cause of frozen feet, ears and faces. It was a typical cold raw wind of Kansas
that the men faced as they came back from watering.
Captain Danforth assumed command on March 11, 1918. Immediately began
the organization of the regimental and two battalion details: no easy task, when
it is remembered that there were no precedents and no specific instructions as to
the exact duties of the details while in action. This condition arose because
of the ever-changing mode of fighting on the front. For example, we would
learn one formation of the detail going into action, only to be told shortly after-
wards that that formation was wrong, and that so-and-so was now the correct
formation, as prescribed in the latest circular from Fort Sill. And so it went.
Captain Danforth had much to contend with; he fought against us, for us, and
with us. We have made a record we can look back upon with pride
-33-
r->-'.
For the maneuvers at Camp Funston, we installed a complete telephone
system. What care was taken in stringing the wires in the approved manner.
We built a reel cart which worked at a walk, but not faster. We learned the
parallel and the "P-T" method; the difference between sight and site; all about
co-ordinates, scouting and route marking.
Our trip to the Atlantic Coast in tourist cars we believed to he a hardship.
At that time we didn't know what hardship and discomfort were. Those crowded

tourist cars, with a kitchen in an e.xpress car ahead, made an outing when com-
pared to our railway journeys in France in the renown troop cars, with each
man carrying his own "chow", hard bread and "wooly".
Eventually we arrived at Castelnau, France, ending our three weeks trip
with a forced march, full pack. While waiting to enter Camp de Souge, we
were busy learning the intricacies of the new fire control instruments, but not
to the extent that we failed to pick up a little French and Vin Blanc, the latter
causing a few to stray from the straight and narrow path.
The six weeks at Camp de Souge taught us more of detail work, the mysteries
^.U-

of the "75 m.m.," and the horrors of gas. The impression after the armistice
was that the actual gas was little worse than the measures of prevention. Those
gas masks were so comfortable!
One year from the day when most of the company reported for duty, after
a forty-kilometer hike through French rain and mud, which left the men and
horses exhausted, we first learned the awful possibilities of artillery fire. As
we stood shivering in the rain, waiting to go into camp near Beney, word came
that one shell had killed Corporals Blaisdell and Lines and Private Trujillo, and
wounded Lieutenants Kemp and Oakes, Sergeant Wherrett, Nlechanic Stumme
and Private Walter, all from our company, except Lieutenant Kemp. This
costly lesson taught us the menace of "Jerry's" artillery and thereafter all were
wary and escaped without casualties, except Private Keehn, who was nipped in
the shoulder by a sharpshooter as he wandered into "No Nlan's Land" carrying
a Battery Commanders telescope.
On the front the company was split. The regimental detail was stationed
at Pannes, the First Battalion detail at Beney, then at LaN'larche, and the Second
Battalion detail at Beney and later at St. Benoit.
We laid, maintained and operated the telephone net under all circumstances.
If the service was not that of a city, we felt that some one had fallen down. We
conducted reglages for our batteries with the planes by our radio. We acted
as observers at the Observation Posts. Our men of the liaison detail lived up
with the "Doughboys ' continuously. We drew maps. We were messengers.
We did all that a headquarters company is supposed to do, many times more.
With the signing of the armistice, details which had been on special duties
returned to their detachments. Long days of rest followed with nothing to
do, except prepare for the long hike into Germany, exercising the horses and
drawing new equipment. The telephone net was maintained, but no longer
were the linemen routed out at any time on a minute's notice to repair a break.
On November 29th the detachments were consolidated for the march
toward the Rhine. A tiring ele\-en days with the cooks, bearing by far the heaviest
burden, and we found ourselves in Oberkail, Germany. Resting here long enough
to install a telephone system, we mo\'ed to Dudeldorf, thence to Speicher, leaving
the First Battalion detachment behind.
Our duties at Speicher were routine, enli\'ened only by the ser\ice firing
on the Nusbaum range when we laid and maintained the telephone net and acted
as range guards. At the 1 64th Field Artillery Brigade horse show, held at Bitburg,
we won first place in the Forgon class, second place w ith our reel cart, and third
in the enlisted men's saddle class. Later we captured second place at both the
89th Division and the Se\'enth Corps horse shows in the enlisted men's saddle
class.

Perhaps it will excite a little jealousy, but from pride we are forced to mention
the inspection of the Speicher organizations by General Donnelly, when he, at
the conclusion of the inspection, advised the use of Headquarters Company as
the model in preparation for the Corps inspection.
We are proud that we were members of Headquarters Company, and the
record that it made during its life, especially on the front.

The Band
THE 341st Field Artillery Band not only has the distinction of being the
first band organized in the 89th Division, but also has the reputation of
being one of the best. In addition to playing for the regiment at retreat,
reviews, and other formations, it was greatly in demand for outside concerts,
filling engagements in many of the cities in Kansas and touring Colorado in the
interest of the Liberty Loan. 0\erseas it was attached for si.\ weeks to E\ac-
uation Hospital No. 1, near Toul, where its music was heard and enjoyed by
many thousand wounded.
To Lieutenant Colonel Gottschalk is the credit for its early organization
and rapid pi'Ogress. Its first attempt was made on September 21st, two weeks
after the regiment was organized, when it played for retreat, the "Star-Spangled
Banner" being rendered by six men. i\Ir. Faber of the military band stationed
at Fort Logan, Colorado, was transferred and appointed band leader. Lee M.
Lockhart was assistant band leader. Men of musical ability were sought
throughout the regiment and e\'en the di\ision. Colonel Gottschalk would
hear of a man that had once blown a horn. Immediately, if that man proved
worth while, efforts would be made to effect his transfer. These efforts usually
proved successful. At our morning and afternoon rehearsals the Commanding
Officer was invariably present. Instiximents were either furnished by the members
themsehes or bought by the fund raised among the officers.
On October 6th, the first concert was gi\-en in "Y" Hut No. 9 We now
numbered twenty. Shortly afterwards from the second contingent, Dick Smith,
eventually band leader, John Cameron, Den\'er's well-known drummer, and Gene
Stuchberry, helicon, were added. Two weeks after the initial concert, the first
trip was taken, a concert being given in the Presbyterian Church at Manhattan,
Kansas. Music for the Soldiers-Sailors football game at Kansas City was to
have been furnished by us, but the train wreck at Topeka prevented. However,
we played for the Funston-Dodge game at Omaha. During February, March,
April and May, the band was on the road much of the time. Concerts were
given at Mlanhattan, Junction City, Fort Riley, Wichita, Cottonwood Falls,
and Abilene. At Wichita, in three concerts, the Red Cross netted $3,000, During
April, fifteen musicians were lost, nominalh'. The strength being o\'er twenty-
eight, the regulation, the surplus musicians were transferred to batteries and
detailed on special duty with the band. This condition was remedied by the
regulation increasing the strength to forty-nine.
At the request of the Colorado Liberty Loan Committee, the band toured
—39—
//,
// ./
Colorado in the interest of the Liberty Loan, playing fifty concerts throughout
the state and netting more than $5,000 for the regimental fund. This tour began
on April 1 5th under the charge of Chaplain Griffith with Mr. Weatherwax, later
Lieutenant Weatherwax, then of the Y. M. C. A., as ad\'ance agent, and lasted
for twenty-five days.
May 30th, Decoration Day, was our last engagement in the United States,
playing at Manhattan.
At Camp Mills, Long Island, New York, the embarkation camp, Lieutenant
Weatherwax took charge of the band, Mr. Faber was transferred for duty in the
^^^:j J^and/^/ai/ma oiT^aso'7/o5pita[JI''o./ /oijf.
United States, and Dick Smith promoted to band leader. Tom Weatherwax,
afterwards assistant band leader, was assigned here. The trip across was
enjoyable, notwithstanding the English "slum", dodging submarines, and wearing
cork harness, also "close those port-holes."
Leaving La Harve, France, for Castelnau in a downpour of rain, the band
was snapped by an enterprising photographer, his pictures appearing in the
"Literary Digest" of September 28th, in Lyon & Healy's ad\'ertisement, in
November "Popular Mechanics." and also in the movies. While waiting at
—40-
' L
Castelnau to enter Camp de Souge, daily concerts were given, attended equally
by the French and the men of the regiment. Band concerts were the social
events of the life there. The "Hell Cats" put in their appearance at Castelnau.
A sudden change in their treatment was noticed hy the musicians when they
first hit the front on September 17th, but they were game and made the best
of it. Leaving Toul on that day after a "bully beef" breakfast, we spent the
night at Grosrouvers. There the quartermaster department grabbed us for
horse details, but only for one day. We rejoined the regiment that night, and
in Beney Woods a new tune was learned without reheai'sals, "The Song of the
Shells;" likewise "hostile fire" made itself known.
There until detached and sent to the Evacuation Hospital, we musicians
were roustabouts and handy men. Whenever any extra men were needed for
special work, "grab a bandman" was heard. We laid telephone lines, dug
dugouts, filled sand bags, cooked, carried messages, and acted as gas sentries.
There was no band. On September 28th we were ordered to Lucy to undergo
intensive training, preparatory to being sent to the Evacuation Hospital. We
then went to the Hospital, where concerts were given daily until No\-ember
12th for several thousand wounded. Again with the regiment, the hike to
Germany was started on November 29th. 1 hrough "No Man's Land"
and miles of devasted France, through Lu.xemburg, and finally into Germany
the band played the regiment.
The monotony of the life in Germany was alle\'iated somewhat by the hand's
music. Thousands of little "square-heads" also enjoyed our music. We played
for the Seventh Corps Headquarters, at Wittlich, for two weeks, cheered the
89th Division football team on to \'ictory o\'er the 4th Di\ision at Coblenz,
and furnished the orchestra and quartette for the 341st Field Artillery Jazz
Minstrels, the first show to go on the road in the Army of Occupation.

First Battalion Events on the Front
''IMMODERATE"
September IS, 191S: Immediately upon arrival at Toul, after four days on
the train from Camp de Souge, the batteries, although the men and horses were
tired, detrained and started the thirty-six kilometer march to Beney. Batteries
B and C were forced to halt on the road so as to arri\'e and occupy their positions
at night. Ammunition was picked up at the large dump near iVIenin la Tour.
Ten day's rations were carried. Weather, rainy; roads, fair; health, good.
Battery A left Toul at 8.00 hours, arriving at Beney at 21.30 hours; Battery B

Battery A
''31"
ON September 5, 1917, Battery A was organized. Captain Howard R. K.
Tompkins was in command. The other officers were First Lieutenant
Harry A. Holman and Second Lieutenants Erwin M. Jones and Ralph
G. Bulkley. Before these officers lay the task of making soldiers of the men
who were coming from civilian life and knew nothing of militarism.
During the next six weeks there was a continuous flow of recruits to the
battery, all coming from civilian life and therefore sadly in need of the foot-work,
which had the limelight in the training schedule.
Battery A that fall carried off the first regimental competition, winning
the baseball championship and securing possession of a trophy cup.
The middle of November, foot-work lost its prestige to the school of the
soldier mounted. We had sixteen horses for the entire battery to equitate on.
Ridden without saddles or bridles, hardly a day passed w ithout an exhibition of
broncho busting, which a number of times resulted in the horse being victor
by a wide margin.
On November 28th Captain Tompkins was relie\ed from command and
sent to the School of Fire at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Captain Greable assuming
command. The latter was relieved on December 9th by Lieutenant Holman,
who remained in command until the return of Captain Tompkins on February 23rd.
A number of the men were fortunate in securing lea\es for the Thanksgi\ing,
Christmas, and New Years holidays. The large majority that stayed in
camp were not forgotten, the cooks dri\ ing away home-sickness by dinners that
made one seek his bunk for comfort after partaking. Many of the men were
spending their first Christmas away from home and the presents received from
the home folks and the Red Cross were much needed.
January, 1918, was the "hoodoo" month, measles and mumps striking
Battery A hard and sending more than half of the men to hospitals and isolation
camps. The remainder, the healthy, found their work doubled. It was not an
unusual sight to see one man leading or rather stri\ing to lead, against the Kansas
bleak winds, twelve or sixteen horses to the Kansas River, a mile distant. At
each watering, holes had to be cut in the ice.
The middle of April brought the most interesting part of the training schedule.
For seven months we had marched and counter-marched, had "stables"
practiced on the field pieces and taken examinations on the drill regulations.
It was monotonous. So after se\en months of this fundamental, tiresome training.

"nostess- Jrc
three hundred rounds of ammunition was issued for firing. As most of the men
had never seen a piece fired before, it was to them a novelty as well as interesting.
In the service firing actual conditions were followed as nearly as possible, the
officers and men feeling at the conclusion well repaid for the arduous efforts
of the early training.
On June 2nd at 4:30 p. m., after two weeks of preparation, we entrained
for Camp Mills, Long Island, New York. The journey in all uas pleasant, stops
being made at least once a day for exercise, which usually consisted of a short
march through the streets of some city. We arrived at Jersey City on the morning
of June 5th, were ferried across to Long Island City, and taken to Camp Mills
by train, reaching there at 6.30 p. m. We spent sixteen days in Camp Mills,
during which time passes to visit New York, Brooklyn, Long Island and Coney
Island were liberally granted. At Camp Mills the battery, having been reduced
by many transfers, was filled to war strength by replacements from Camp Upton.
After having been issued more equipment until our barrack bags were packed
to the uttermost, and undergone a number of physical examinations, we en-
trained Friday evening, June 21st, for the port of embarkation which, as suspected.

proved to be Boston, Massac hussetts. Detraining at Boston, we immediately
boarded the "Bohemia," each man being given a card entitling him to a hammock
and a place at the mess tables. At twelve o'clock sharp, the ship weighed anchor
and we were off to take our part in the theatre of the great war.
The day was extremely disagreeable, drizzly and raw. Going down the
harbor the bay was quite choppy, and as soon as we were out in the open sea
we commenced to buck the worst sea of the entire x'oyage. The maiden \'oyage
for nearly all, sea legs were unknown, so when we slipped into Halifax thirty-
six hour later, the agonies of sea sickness were generally known by expei'ience.
At Halifax we laid at anchor for thirty-one hours, waiting for the other ships
of the convoy. Here some of the officers went ashore and secured a canteen
stock, which was a boon the rest of the trip.
Something should be said about the "Bohemia." An English freightei",
before being pressed into service as a transport, had been a cattle boat. Con-
veniences were lacking. When we boarded it, it was filthy. However, alter
continued scrubbing and washing it pro\'ed habitable. The mess was in keeping
with the condition of the boat. It was in charge of an English negro, whose sole
knowledge of cooking was slum. Eortunate for him, our cooks took o\er the
■'"m
^
-•il'
f/
mess eventually, so that no longer did our stomachs have to fight the convulsions
of sea-sickness and the knowledge of most insanitary cooking.
There were nine boats in the convoy, which was lead by an English converted
cruiser. Sub-chasers followed us until we were out of sight of land. Through
many schools of fish we zigzagged our way along, keeping an anxious eye out
for submarines, passing the time away by boxing and wrestling and band concerts,
until finally on the horizon we picked up the smoke of the destroyers that were
to accompany and guard us on the last leg of the voyage. The gun sections
manned the lone piece on the boat fortunately never tested their marksmanship,
being content with listening to the stories of the English gunnei'.
We steamed up the Thames River in the early morning of July 7th, docking
at 'S 00 a. m. at Tilbury, London. Big posters urging speed in unloading to increase
the movement oi supplies and American soldiers abroad, showing the high esteem
and confidence of England in the efforts of the United States, covered the docks.
A night at Southampton, a night on the old channel side-wheeler, "Monas Queen,"
and we at La Ha\re, on French soil. Three days latei-, our 5,000 mile journey
ended at Castelnau, a small village in the heart of the wine country.
At Castelnau, Captain Roscoe W. Tanner was placed in command of the
organization, relieving Captain Tompkins, who was assigned to Headquarters.
First Lieutenant James A. Fitzgerald was assigned. In our new battery com-
mander, whom we did not know at that time, we found later, by actual experience
and personal contact, a leader and a man in every sense of the word. He always
endeavored to fulfill successfully the missions given him. At all times he had
the interest, welfare and comfort of his men at heart, and never asked a man
to do anything or go anywhere that he himself would not do or go. In the face
of danger he proved himself cool and revealed ability to think.
We stayed at Castelnau for two weeks before entering Camp de Souge.
On entering Camp de Souge our training was more systematic and rigorous than
ever before. Pieces and caissons and full detail equipment was received.
Lieutenant Holman, as executive, organized the gun crews and reliefs and super-
vised the drill on the French "T^ m.m's." As the "75 m.m." gun drill was
distinctly different from that of the American three-inch piece, strenuous efforts
were necessary. Lieutenant Fitzgerald was placed in command of the Battery
Commander's detail, which was sadly in need of thorough instruction. By
careful and patient instruction, he succeeded in bringing the detail up to standard.
The results obtained on the front by these two important departments of the
battery revealed the wisdom of selecting these two officers for the training. The
battery fired l,4b7 rounds on the range, participating in the brigade barrage.
The di'ivers at Camp de Souge, previously having learned the nomenclature
and fitting of the American harness, found that French harness was to be used
^ / t.
-54-
which fact meant hard work. First Sergeant George B. McClellan, who had
held that rank since the organization of the battery, was sent to the Officers'
Training Camp at Samur on August 29th. At the conclusion of the six weeks
of training at Camp de Souge, the battery was completely equipped and ready
for actual service.
We left Camp de Souge at 9:15 p. m., September 13th, loading at Bonnau,
four kilometers distant, our train pulling out at 6:00 a. m. and arrix'ing at
Toul the morning of September 17th. Unloading immediately we started for
the front, filling the caissons and limbers with ammunition enroute, arriving
at Essey at two hours the 18th, where we went into camp. The ne.xt morning
at 9.1 5 hours, we pulled into our first position in the Bois de Beney, one kilometer
north of Beney. We were busy that day, digging gun emplacements and ammu-
nition pits, camouflaging, and establishing communication. Our first echelon
was three kilometers to the rear. After moving a number of times the echelon
was finally established back of Bouillonville, much to the relief of the dri\ers, who
were thoroughly tired bringing up supplies to the battery and moving at the same
time.
Our first shot was fired the morning of the l*-^th in adjustment by aeroplane.
On the evening of this day the first section gun ci'ew relie\-ed Battery C from
the anti-tank gun in the front lines. The machine gun used with the anti-
tank piece was put out of action by enemy shell fire without mishap to the
machine gunners. From the start the enemy had our first position located,
shelling it intermittently without material effect. Our linemen here had their
first experience of repairing wires under shell fire. On September 23rd we fired
our first barrage, from 4.15 to 6 hours, covering an infantry raid on Bois Dom-
martin, which netted twenty-six prisoners. The signal for "cease firing" had
just been given when "Heinle" opened up with all calibres up to "210's". Shells
burst all around the position, but no casualties resulted. The crews of nearby
batteries were forced to seek shelter. That night, to our relief, orders were
received to mo\'e. Passing through Beney under gas fire, we pulled into the
new position near Bouillonville in a downpour of rain at 2.30 hours. The pieces
were immediately laid. Number One selected for minor missions was emplaced
some distance from the other pieces to pre\'ent disco\-ery of the position. A
kitchen was established near the position, and from that time on until the armistice
we did not have to depend upon the echelon for food.
We participated in the big barrage on the morning of September 26th, which
marked the beginning of the Meuse-Argonne drive. As we ceased firing eight
enemy bombers, flying low, circled around the position, dropping small bombs
and using machine guns, but without effect. The next four da\-s the battery
-55-
"^^'^i
■'"v^
^ - -. ^'■im^t^-f
—56—
carried out a number of small missions, w ith Damp\itoux, Dommartin, Haumont
and Marimbois Farm as objectives.
The last of September we took up oui- third position, relieving Battery D,
151st Field Artillery, of the 42nd Division. This position in the woods to the
south of St. Benoit was prepared for the winter and was occupied until shortly
before the armistice. The echelon had left Bouillonville and was now between
Nonsard and Vigneulles, where it remained until the march into Germany began.
Lieutenant Fitzgerald was transferred on October 5th to a training camp
as an instructor, Lieutenant Phillips being assigned.
From the position in the woods, we fired on Dampvitou.x for adjustment
and demolition, Haumont and Dommartin for demolition, and on Bois Dommartin,
Bois Bonseii, Marimbois Farm, and de Champ Fontaine with harassing fire.
The ranges were long, between 6,000 and 7,300 meters. .Adjustments were
made daily, usually by Lieutenant Holman. We were tricked in firing a barrage
on October 6th. Our lookout saw a rocket barrage signal set up from the front
lines. Immediately the battery answ-erecl and was firing when a number of
"Boche" planes appeared overhead. Lieutenant Holman, calling Battalion
Headquarters, had his suspicions confii'mcd that the signal was a fake, sent
up by the "Boche". Firing ceased before the planes located the position.
In addition to the before mentioned demolition and harassing fire, the battery
participated in a number of barrages, did counter-battery work, and fired on enemy
strong points: trenches, machine gun emplacements and "pill boxes".
The afternoon of November 8th, we were ordered to take up a position
between Thiaucourt and Jaulny on a hillside, 1,200 meters from the enemy and
under direct observation. Going into position that evening, trucks of the 314th
Ammunition Train blocked the road where it doubled back up the hill, holding
up the column. "Heinie" was shelling the road rather heavily and all that we
could do was to stand and take it. Battery C, which was immediately ahead of
of us, suffered casualties while we did not. On reaching the position it was
found that the second platoon was lost. It did not get into position until the
the next morning, just in time for a gassing. Eight men. Sergeants Boyd, Braun-
stein and Christensen, Corporals Buchanan and Chavez, and Privates Harris,
Lammers, O'Hare and Zuhike, were gassed and were evacuated. Fortunately
a heavy fog concealed the position all during the day, preventing enemy obser-
vation. He was forced to be content with harassing fire. At 18.00 hours we
moved out of that precarious position to St. Benoit.
The next morning we pulled in near Louisville Faim and laid the pieces
for what proved to be the last firing. The road was crowded with infantrymen
ffoing forward and all sorts of transpoitation. It was evident that an immense
drive was ready to be launched. That moi'ning we laid a barrage for the infantry
-57-
attack on the Hindenburg wire in addition to iiring on enemy sensitive points.
During the last minute of firing, the Number Three piece, with Corporal Prost
as "Number One", and Pri\-ate Farrar as "Number Two", fired fourteen in
twenty-five seconds.
After the armistice, until November 21st, all the men except a gun guard
were at the echelon. On that date the pieces were taken back to the echelon and
once more was the battery all together. On November 29th we started the march
into Germany. Every night of the march, the men had billets, except the second
night spent near Warcq in the open field. That morning before the men could
pull on their shoes, the shoes had to be thawed out.
The battery arri\'ed in Badem on December 7th, thence going to Mander-
scheid, a summer resort in the mountains. On December 14th we moved to
Pickliessem, thence to Dudeldorf. Oui' billets in Dudeldorf were good and the
conditions not unpleasant considering the circumstances. For Christmas and
New Year's dinners we fared on pork, which was a most enjoyable substitute for
turkey. On February 25th Battery A took possession of Metterick, remaining
there until departure for the port of embarkation.
After New Year's passes were given to Trier, and later to Coblenz, Germany,
enabling almost every man in the battery to see the wonders of the River Rhine.
Following these came passes to Paris and to leave centers in the picturesque
and famous Southern France. During the winter we engaged in a number of
maneuvers and fired on the range. Inspections were frequent, the most dreaded,
the corps inspection, being successfully surmounted on April 9th.
The one command that the battery is anxiously awaiting is the one that will
start the journey to an honorable discharge and home.

"32"
WHEN Battery B finally reached that stage in its development that it
could be called a fighting unit, it had acquired the sobriquet of "Galloping
Battery B", a name which still clings and of which the men are proud.
Back in the beginning of our life at Camp Funston, when regimental hikes,
maneuvers and reviews were virtually a daily event, the other batteries would fall
out fully an hour before Battery B, in order to be punctual at formations. That
is how we acquired our name, a name which we belie\'e we li\'ed up to in e\'ery
sense of the word while on active service.
To be candid, there is one joke on the battei^y which is one of the best, if
not the best, in the regiment. The war depaitment had issued a number of
old "3.2 point" field pieces for training purposes. The regiment secured two,
which were merely tubes mounted on wheels. They were placed in front of
regimental headquarters and were for decorative purposes only. In the spring,
during service firing from Morris Hill, Battery B was scheduled to fire. Our teams
drove up to regimental headquarters, hitched on to the "3,2's" and galloped out
to the range, arriving just at the time firing was ordered to commence. Colonel
Davis, in charge of the firing, took just one look as we galloped up. For an
instant he looked as if he would ha\'e a number of things to say. Instead, on
second thought, he merely turned to Captain Englehard and said w ith a smile,
"Take them back."
While at Camp Punston guards were made up of men from all organizations.
Orderlies at regimental headquarters were selected each day from the guard,
being chosen in the usual system, namely, for their neatness, cleanliness and
soldierly appearance. Battery B has the enviable record of furnishing twenty-
one consecutive orderlies.

We left Camp de Souge, France, on the morning of September 14, 1Q18,
bound for the front. Arri\-ing in Toul on the afternoon of the 1 7th, we immediately
detrained, and although the men and horses were fatigued, began the memorable
hike to Pannes, thirty-two kilometers distant. Before noon of the next day,
despite the crowded traffic conditions, we had passed through Flirey, Essey, and
were in Pannes. It was on this march that we first learned the enormity and
character of traffic immediately in the rear of the front lines. Infantry under full
pack, armoured motors, tanks, artillery, both horse-drawn and motorized, camions,
limousines, side-cars and ambulances, formed an apparent endless procession on
the road, all retui-ning from the front. Occasionally we would be halted by some
{•JV^i.
^^J
accident that had blocked the road temporal ily. Once we came upon a heavy
French siege gun, which had evidently failed to brake, for it had run down its
team, killing and injuring both horses and men.
Several hours out from Toul we drew ammunition, filling our caissons and
limbers. It was then dark, and we could distinguish the actual front by the
signals and gun flashes. E\eryone was thinking of one thing. When and where
will we halt and ha\e that much needed rest.
Scouts found a watering place, which we reached at two o'clock in a downpour
of rain. Here the horses were watered and feed, and hot "chow" dished out.
Lights were forbidden, which handicapped our movements. During the two-
JSti^ /^' yf(->cfuTii ^Junncrs
Ljiss on
hours halt little real rest was obtained. 1 hree horses were abandoned on account
of exhaustion.
At daybreak we arrived at Flirey, which was completely in ruins, having
been the center of a fierce fight three days previous, when the St. Mihiel salient
was reduced by the First American Army. Dead horses along the roadside,
newly made graves, shell holes, large and small, ruined fields and buildings, and
maze of wire entanglements and old trench systems, could be seen from here.

The signs ot a very recent battle were clearly in e\idence. We passed abandoned
German batteries, destroyed machine gun nests and hastily dug trenches — e\'ery
one the scene of that minor fighting which altogether make a battle. The ruins
of "Gas Hollow" looked even more desolate than it really was to us plodding
along through French mud in a drizzling rain, nearly exhausted.
Pannes, at last! There we went into park, pitched our "pup" tents, and
crawled in with visions of a good rest. Our dreams were dissipated the next
minute by an order from "Immemorial 1", stating that we must go into position
at once north of Beney, which lay about three kilometers north of Pannes.
In the execution of the order, the Battery Commander detail, under
Lieutenant Kemp, was divided into groups of three men each, with orders to
report at Beney at fifteen-minute intervals. The first group rode to a place
near Beney Woods, and met Captain Englehard, then commanding.
Lieutenant Kemp was ordered to report to regimental headquarters to get
a battle map of the sector. He took the first group, and when within two hundred
meters of the Beney crossroads "Jerry" opened up on our "Kumber One",
which was then at the crossroads. It was the fii'st experience of any of Battei'y
B under shell-fire. It seemed odd to sec the "Doughboys" Hop whene\'er a
shell was apparently coming near. That habit was soon learned, however, without
any drill or instruction. The piece was not hit and proceeded on its way to
take up its position. The group under Lieutenant Kemp rode on to the Post of
Command, arriving just before a "15()m.m." struck the roof of the Post of Com-
mand, killing three and wounding fi\'e, wounding Lieutenant Kemp. ^We
took to the dugout until the shelling ceased and then returned to the battery
position, reporting the first casualty, the reconnaissance officer.
The pieces were placed into position by Lieutenants \Vea\'er and Osborne
without mishap. Lieutenants Wallick and Allen had charge of the combat
train, which went into echelon about one kilometer from the battery position
at the edge of the woods on a slope which overlooked Beney and the enemy.
No one apparently knew just exactly where the front line was, so we did not
know that the echelon was in direct obser\-ation of the enemy. The first night
the entire regiment was echeloned there, all moving the next night farther to the
rear on discovering that they were under hostile observation.
Comforts were not expected at first. The men made no effort to scout around
for places to sleep. Blankets spi'ead upon the wet ground sufficed for bunks.
And the men slept u'ell, despite the mud and water and the enemy's shelling.
Our first position was located near the crossing of two unimproved roads
at the southern extremity of the Beney Woods. It was along these roads that
the infantry brought up its supplies and reliefs. This fact, together with three
other batteries within a one-hundred meter radius, made a most desirable
—61
>?,
objecthe for the Germans. Battery A of this regiment was on our right, and
B and E of the 151st Field Artillery on the left.
VVe began making our position permanent. Trenches were dug beside the
pieces for protection of the gun crews. Ammunition was stored in dumps nearby
in the brush and carefully camouflaged. To improve the roads, to permit
ammunition and supplies to be hauled to the position, a corduroy road of white-
barked saplings was built. It made an excellent target, and "Heinie" took
advantage of it, adjusting the same day with "210's m.m." His adjustment
was too good in our opinion, securing both overs and shorts. Some of the men
believe that the adjustment was made by an aeroplane bearing an allied insignia,
which hovered suspiciously around all through the adjustment. The next two
days we were shelled intermittently by the Germans, playing havoc with our
telephone lines, but causing no casualties. On the morning of the fifth day we
fired a five-hour barrage under shell-fire. The supply of ammunition at the
guns ran low and necessitated carrying the shells from the ammunition dumps
to the guns under most difficult conditions. When the order, "Cease firing"
was givqn, we were compelled to abandon our position temporarily and seek
protection in the thick woods nearby. We changed position that night. Our
new position was situated five hundred meters north of the wrecked railroad
bridge north of Eouillonville and was ideal. The slope of the hill on which
the battery was placed was sufficient to afford a good solid emplacement and
at the same time flash defilade. We remained in this position for a week; and
from here firing on the morning of September 26th a seven-hour and twenty min-
ute barrage, which marked the beginning of the Argonne offensive. Our infantry
made no attack under this barrage.
Our third position was situated in the heart of Beney Woods, about two
kilometers south of the first position. At this position the platoons were
separated about two hundred meters. Undergrowth and trees around the pieces
were such that camouflage was hardly necessary. The kitchen was located
in an old German building five hundred meters in front of the pieces. Dugouts
were constructed: pits were dug for the guns; in fact, everything possible was
done to make the position comfortable for the winter for we had information
that there was every possibility of our remaining there for a number of months.
A sawmill nearby was the convenient source of all lumber used. A railroad was
built from the kitchen to the trunk line running to Lamarche and Pannes. Over
this branch ammunition and supplies were brought up, saving much time and
work. The tallest tree in the woods, not more than five hundred meters distant
from the battery, was used as an Observation Post, a platform capable of holding
four observers, reached by a built-in ladder, being built in its top.
A word about the gun crews. With foresight in the event of casualties,

Battery C
"33"
B/\'I TERY C, 341st Field Artillery, was organized at Camp Funston, Kansas,
with Captain Harry E. Randel as battery commander, on September
7, 1917. The battery at that time consisted of First Lieutenant James
W. Pugh, Second Lieutenants John W. Rawlings and Mack Davis, and twenty-
seven enlisted men from Colorado, practically without military training. These
men had to undergo the usual cold bath before donning their new uniforms.
This little stream of water was the dividing line between civilian and military
life. After being given a preliminary training of but two weeks these same men
helped to drill and train one hundred twenty-si.x recruits that reported for duty
on September 20, 1917. This second increment was composed of men from
Colorado only. On October 4th and tith the South Dakota contingent arri\ eel —
forty-five men. Later the men from Missouri arrived.
Soon all time was taken up with drill and other training; during the period
of intensive training there was plenty of equitation, standing gun drill, close
formation cli'ill, followed by actual firing on the range.
On October 29, 1917, the battery took the first hike to Camp Hay Springs,
a distance of eight miles.
On November 2, 1917, Colonel Nugent inspected the battery, haxing
the men mount on their wooden horses and examining them to ascertain how
much they knew about ai'my rules and regulations. One man was asked by
the Colonel, "What are 'the Articles of War'?" The recruit replied, "Guns,
pistols, swords, cannon and all of that sort."
Besides the regular routine they found time to engage in all kinds of sports.
Captain Randel and Lieutenant Rawlings joining in w ith them.
The baseball team was organized and coached by Captain Randel. This
team won all of the games, except that played for the regimental championship
with Battery A.
The football team was oi'ganized and coached by Lieutenant Rawlings;
it won every game and succeeded in winning regimental championship and the
prize cup. After winning the championship the teani played the 314th Signal
Battalion a draw game — score, to 0. It w as scored on only once.
The time went rapidly by and soon the battery started preparation for the
trip to the port of embarkation.
During iVIay, 1918, Captain John L. Vandegrif assumed command and
took the battery to Camp K'lills, Long Island, New York, where it remained

until June 21, 1918. On that day it left for Boston, N-Iassachussetts, to embark
for overseas.
The boys will never forget the good coffee served to them by the Red Cross
ladies of Boston. Embarking at Boston, they sailed for Halifax, Nova Scotia,
and there met the convoy with which they were to sail. Battery C sailed on the
good ship "Bohemia," in first-class army style. The trip was without excitement,
and after fourteen days on board the outfit disembarked at London, England.
Here it received its welcome from King George and afterward entrained for
Southampton.
Southampton for one night; embarkation; an uncomfortable crossing of
the Channel; arrival at LaHavre, and a "rest" at that place occupied the next
few days. Then the never-to-be-forgotten three days of travel south, cattle
style, and the arrival at Castelnau-de-Medoc, Erance.
At that place the theory of the "75 m.m.," the duties of the battery
commander detail and co-ordination of the various departments of the battery
were studied in preparation for the finishing course at Camp de Souge. The time
at Castelnau will be remembered as having been pleasantly spent ; it was a summer
vacation in a beautiful country place amongst hospitable, genial people, the kind
of people we were to fight in defense of later on.
Camp de Souge, the artillery training camp, was to be our last camp of
instruction before actual fighting. Elere the rough edges were knocked off, and
the final polish applied; the "75 m.m." was mastered and each man learned
and played his part as he was later to play it against the "Hun". Battery C
of the 341st Eield Artillery developed the premier gun crews of the First Battalion,
as proved by competitive tests, and on the first day that any batteries were sent
to the target range. Battery C fired the first shot fired by any battery of the
regiment in Erance.
Unfortunately the honor of losing the first man fell to Battery C. During
the firing of a practice barrage, while at the range, a gi-in burst, killing instantly
Private Eirst Class Eelix A. Miller, and slightly wounding the Chief of Section,
Sergeant Clarence C. Crosby. From a brigade order, which cited the work
of the firing battery : "The battery was firing and the men were wearing gas
masks. The squad of the exploded gun remained at their posts, without remov-
ing masks, and continued to act in a most cool and collected manner until the
barrage was completed. The excellent discipline shown, during the incident,
is most satisfactory, and the men concerned are highly commended for the
soldierly qualities they displayed. Their names are as follow s : Sergeant Clarence
C. Crosby, Corporal Sidney J. Brule, Privates Eirst Class Emil C. Baseler and
Paul W. E\en, and Pri\'ates James J. Walker and James E. Powers.
The following day Pri\"ate First Class Miller was laid to rest in a little

graveyard, near Camp de Sougc, his comrades acting as a guard of honor.
General Donnelly was present at the grave side.
Soon the training was completed, and final preparations having been made.
Battery C was ordered to take its place at the front. September 14, IQIS,
saw the day of its departure. Then began the trip to St. Mihiel Sector, in the
little French box cars. The boys were in tip-top spirits, and amused themselves
by singing and viewing the scenery as the train went bumping on its way. Many
Red Cross hospital trains were passed, bearing wounded on their way back from
the front, and the men cheered them loudly. Battery C envied them, and was
more than ever anxious to get to the front and show what they could do. When
the train finally pulled into Toul, on the e\'ening of September 17th, the men were
very tired from their long rides, but resolutely started to unload materiel, horses,
supplies, rations, etc. Without the loss of a moment's time, horses were hitched
to caissons and supply wagons, and then started the steady, hard grind to the
front. This was a test of endurance.
Marching all night, up one hill, down another, many times having to put
their shoulders to the wheel to help some caisson or wagon up a steep grade,
laboring constantly, their grit and stamina were tested to the utmost. But that
spirit which all real Americans possess pre\'ailed, and there was always someone
fresher than the rest to lend a helping hand.
At Menil-la-Tour the battery stopped for a few hour's rest, then pushed on
to the front, where it took up position in the foreward part of Bois de Beney,
northeast of the battle-scarred village of Beney. This position was an extremely
hazardous one and guns were literally placed in front line trenches with the
"Doughboys". This was called the "Anti-Tank Position, " and orders were
given not to fire, unless attacks were made by enemy tanks. For three days,
and two nights they enjoyed a real taste of "Doughboy " life: exposed to the
danger of discovery by enemy "bird men" they were forced to keep constantly
under cover. Frequently shelled by the enemy they were compelled to seek
the shelter of their "fox holes." Here they labored and slept in the mud and
the rain, sometimes going without food for hours, but cheei'fully performing the
tasks assigned to them. Sometimes men, tired and weary, slept without being
aware of the shell-fire going on near them. For all of these hardships the men
were in excellent spirits.
Private Odegaard saw many things to excite his imagination and stir his
blood, and when the enemy opened fire danced around in great glee. "Fine!
this is great! I'll have lots of stories to tell the little Odes when 1 get back home."
Just then a shell exploded close by, splashing mud in his face. As he ducked for
cover he was heard to say, "Whew! That was a close one. Maybe there won't
be any little Odes!"

When Battery C was relie\ed and ir.ox'ed back to a new position, at the
south edge of Beney Woods, the men were fairly used to conditions and were
acting like veterans. They had need to he, for the new position did not prove
to be an easy one, and there were times when enemy shell-fire became so hot
that they had to run for shelter. While at this position the battery distinguished
itself by destroying part of and holding up the movement of an enemy train.
Next the battery moved under shell-fire to a hill abo\"e the \'illage of
Bouillonville, Having no natural protection from enemy eyes camouflage was
used to screen the guns. Within fifty and seventy-five feet of, and to the rear
of the guns lay the wreck of the long railroad bridge of Bouillon\'ille. The boys
of Battery C were not slow in taking acK'antage of the sheltered sleeping quarters
aforded by the insicles of the uprights and pillars still standing. Under another
part of the bi'idge a headquarters was established, whei'e the officers woi'ked out
the firing data. At Bouillonville there was much aerial acti\'ity, scout and
bombing planes circling around day and night. The enemy seemed to be
particularly an.xious to discover the position, and one night tlropped a large balloon
flare from an aeroplane, lighting up the position with wierd ehect. On the
night of September 26th Battery C helped to put over the "Million Dollar
Barrage" that was fired along the whole fi'ont and was the signal for the general
advance, around Verdun and in the Argonne borest. Having attained its
ohiject hei'e, the battery again mo\-ed, and took up position in li-ont of Lamarche.
Going to this new position, mo\cmcnt was somewhat retarded by seas
of mud. K4en sunk into the mud up to their knees. A water cart was tempo-
rarily abandoned in the muel.
At this position the men enjoyed the gla^l c.\|^erience of ha\"ing dry places
to sleep in off the bare ground. Shacks, formerh' the homes of the Germans,
were quickly made use of. [3ut to avoid danger fi'om bombai'dments, men were
put to work digging ciug-outs, and when finished mo\cd into them. These
proved to be comfortable homes. Battery G will ne\cr forget the dark nights
spent here; so dark that all sense of direction became lost. It was while here
that the combat train bringing up ammunition for the Second Battalion was
shelled near Lamarche, resulting in the serious wounding of Pri\-ates Walter
B. Gramer and Reuben L. 5peei\ and the killing of se\'eral horses.
From this position the nightly barrages, and the daylight sniping and
registering were fired. The position was also used as a base of operations for
the roving gun, "H. E. Ro\'er." Ha\ing been dri\en out of these woods, "Jerry"
had abandoned a complete network of narrow-gauge tracks. To the rear these
were used as a means of bring up ammunition and food. The track e.xtended,
in good condition, to our infantry front lines, with many sidings, therefore
accurate locations were staked out, and nightly "H, E." mounted on a small
-69-
car would emerge from the woods and go forward for its evening exercise.
Chambley, the railroad center north of Chambley, Xonville and other points
beyond reach of the guns farther back would receive their shelling; then before
the sound ranging devices of the enemy could get locations on the "Rover", he
would hastily retire to safety, much to the disgust of the "Doughboys".
The last few days at this position gossip was rife about Austria's quitting,
and Germany asking for an armistice. On the evening of November 8th, however,
the battery was ordered to change positions and move to the vicinity of Thiaucourt,
preparatory to a possible offensive.
Pulling out from Beney Woods into Beney-St. Benoit road, the battery
marched to a position near Thiaucourt. This was about twenty-two hours.
After tramping along, with many delays, and passing many trucks of an
ammunition train stalled on the road, the battery came to a halt, while the scout
corporal went ahead in the darkness to find the position staked out during the
afternoon by Lieutenant Patten. It was now about one hour, November 9th.
While the battery waited, the "Boche" systematically shelled Thiaucourt with
"heavies", a distant boom, a whining away overhead in the clouds, then a noise
like the clanging of a heavy metallic door in the direction of Thiaucourt. The
position located, the battery followed the road down to where it was cut off by
a ridge and then swerved to the left on a road running along this ridge, where
it was to take up position. As the battery swung in, on to this road, there came
the ricketing screech of "17 m.m.," followed by a loud explosion as it burst on the
top of the ridge about fifty feet away. The enemy followed this up, sweeping
the ridge and battery position with high explosive and gas. Shells dropped all
around, killing one horse, and wounding another so severely that the battery com-
mander had to shoot it. Sergeant John Pyron was severely wounded in the breast,
abdomen and foot, by a high explosive shell, while bringing his section into
position. Corporal Charles L. Carlson was wounded by shell fragment, and
Private First Class James B. McKeon was slightly gassed. After the battery
finally got into position the enemy continued to rake the position, forcing the
men to lie flat on the ground. They did not have time to dig trenches. On
the 9th all that screened them from the enemy was a heavy fog — lucky for them.
In the afternoon Corporal Fred Engberg was wounded, his leg being broken by
a shell fragment. On the evening of November 9th Battery C was ordered
from this place and sent to the edge of Dampvitoux Woods. From there, on
the morning of November 1 1th, it was ordered to take up position at Marimbois
Farm. As the battery moved up the road to this place, a French soldier came
down the road, with joy written on his face, shouting: "Fini! Fini! Annistice!
Armistice!" It was only a short while afterwards, however, that the boys found
out that for them the war had just begun.
-70-
The move towards iVlarimhois F^arm was started at tour houi-s. The
commander, the reconnaissance officer and the battery commander detail
preceded the battery to scout for position. A platoon of engineers cleared w ire
entanglements and other obstructions from the road. The position selected
was just in rear of the Farm, and it was occupied while under sniping and
machine-gun fire. To Instrument Sergeant Gunson belongs the credit of laying
the second platoon while exposed to fire. Lieutenant Patten in laying the
first platoon, assisted by the Instrument Sergeant was subjected to the same
fire. The second platoon opened fire on Lachaussee at 8.30 houi's, and almost

f Wire infroa-t of
immediately thereafter the battery was caught in an enemy barrage of mustard
gas and high explosive shelling, which lasted for two hours. During this time
the second platoon, under Lieutenant Manderson, was ordered to retire, its
guns having become useless due to mustard gas. The first platoon, under
Lieutenant Rawlings, remained at its posts without cover, until ordered to the
rear by the battalion commander at about ten hours. The position was pre-
carious, for there was no infantry between the battery and the enemy. The
battery commander was fired upon directly by machine-gun fire when slightly
in advance of the Farm, endeavoring to locate an Observation Post; Private
First Class Brady ordered to establish liaison with the infantry was halted and
fired upon, and finally driven back from a position between the Farm and
Dampvitoux. There were sixty men sent to the first-aid station after firing ceased
at eleven hours. The following were found to be seriously gassed or wounded :
Corporals Charles F. Ellis, Sidney J. Brule and Martin J. Wollenberg, Privates
First Class James F. Brady, Rumsie O. Nichols and James N. Spencer, and
Privates Robert H. Burns, Daniel Carrico, Jose L. Cortinas, Hans Hanson, Jesse
L. Hays and Ora C. Triplett.
To Battery C, then, belongs the record of having occupied more positions
on the front, of having held positions closer to the front lines — three times it was
up even with or in advance of the infantry,' — and therefore of having seen more action
than any other battery in the regiment. The first shot fired in France by the
regiment was by this battery, and it is an honor, although regrettable, that it
lost the first man and sustained the hea\'iest casualties.

all from Colorado, were assigned to the 341st Field Artillery, and in turn assigned
toBatteryD, under command of Captain Harvey A. Fancher. In civilian clothes
of all descriptions they were a decidedly unmilitary lot. Their new career began.
Herded to the bath-house they passed under the cold shower, bidding good-bye
to their "cits", and emerged wearing the clothes of a soldier. Although the\"
were dressed as soldiers they were not soldiers, as they found out during the next
two weeks.
In preparation for the assignment of additional recruits to the battery these
thirty were drilled without rest for two weeks. Rain, heat, and physical dis-
comforts, which to them at that time were \'ery apparent, were disregarded.
The only relief from drill was inspections, filling bed-sacks for the first forty
per cent and the necessary fatigue duties. During these two weeks the entire
regiment, as well as regimental headquarters, was housed in one building.
On the arrival of the forty per cent the battery was given a home of its ow n.
Battery D began to assume the appearance of a material being. A mess was
started, which for the first week feed mostly li\-er, but nevertheless it was a mess.
The first sergeant gradually assumed his role of master of the battery's destinies.
and as he was well liked and obeyed, results were obtained. The two-week's
veterans did good work in the initial training of the new men. Shortly there
arose among the men that feeling ever necessary for all efficient military organ-
izations — pride in their organization and in themselves.
During the early training period "grief" was e\er present. Materiel needed
for training purposes could not be secured. Specialists needed for certain work
had to be trained. Apparently all that could be secured was clothing — not any
too well fitted or too plentiful — and food. The rest was a matter of simulation
or make-shift.
Slowly equipment was issued. Horses, which we didn't think much of
then, but which we would have been overjoyed in having while on the front,
were issued. The riding of the horses in zero weather without saddles and often-
times without blankets, and their watering in the Kaw Ri\-er a mile distant,
will be subject that the world war veterans will cnjo\' a half century from now.
Thanksgiving and Christmas were occasions for glorious dinners. The home

folks sent enormous quantities of food stuffs, much of wliich could not be eaten.
In a number of instances whole turkeys were thrown into the gai'bage cans.
Training of the battery progressed slowly but steadily during the winter
months. Handicapped by the severity of the season and lack of equipment,
the training schedule was follow'ed to the extent possible, with the result that
when spring finally came the organization was ready for seiwice firing. The
cannoneers who had gun drill with the thereometer ten degrees below zero, oft-
times a gale blowing, did not need to be cautioned to execute the commands in
double time.
"Socks dirty," "Full of holes," "Kon-issue," "Dirty tape," "No clean under-
wear," and "Shoes worn out" are comments that will never be forgotten. Clothing
was short, so when the division inspection w'as held, the men maneu\'ered to
put forth the best they had with the foregoing result. The division inspector,
passing down the line of "pup" tents with the battery commander close to his
elbow, and a secretary to jot down deficiencies, was eagle-eyed. But a few out-
w'itted him by changing with men who had already been inspected, poor for good
equipment. "Socks dirty" lead by a large margin.
The cantonment siren, sounding the general fire alarm, was another "pleasure"
of our life at Camp Funston. Aroused once at midnight. Battery D was out on
the road with blanket i-olls and five days' rations and forage in twenty-three
minutes, ready to move. After resting on the road for one hour and a halt we
turned in, only to fall out in two hours to go to the range for service firing.
During the various epidemics that swept the cantonment Batteiw' D was
quarantined. Being quarantined did not cause a cessation in training. It only
prohibited our mingling with men from other organizations. It was at this
time that our supply sergeant established the battery canteen.
During the training period in America a number of good men, especially
qualified, were transferrcci to special units and for replacements. Consequently
we were usually below authoiized strength, although men sufficient for two
batteries were trained.
At Camp Mills we spent a busy three weeks, equipping and drilling replace-
ments, furnishing fatigue details for e\'ery purpose to the camp commander,
wearing bathing suits at Coney Island, scheming how to buy a drink, and dodging
military police on our return sometime before reveille.
The trip across. Had it not been for the canteen which was established
with supplies bought at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Battery D would have been a
scrawny looking outfit when it debarked at London, England, for the "cockney
gruli" was hardly what could be termed appetizing and nourishing. It was so
poor and dirty that finalh' the Fourth of July was celebrated by our cooks taking
over the galleys and handing out the first real meal of the voyage.

We saw our first German prisoners as we marched through the streets of
Southampton to the rest camp. Subsistence on a piece of cheese, English girls,
and another medical inspection, are our memories of this halt.
Three clays riding in the renowned French troop cars, with not sufficient
room for all to lie down simultaneously, and with equipment hung overhead on
wires, continually hitting our heads, we arrived late in the afternoon at St. Helene.
We hiked ten kilometers that evening to Castelnau, arriving at ten o'clock, and
were billeted in an old theatre.
At Castelnau we secured a good rest, learned to speak a little French, to
enjoy French cooking and Vin Blanc and Vin Rouge. The training schedule
interrupted by the trip overseas was resumed. Here we learned the agonies of
the gas mask and what a wonderful protection to the eyes the overseas cap is.
The swimming hole, one kilometer from town, refreshed us after the long hot days.
From Castelnau we hiked to Camp de Souge for the finishing touches.
A camp of sand, pines, flies, and range fires were its noticeable features.
Our guns went into position the night of September 18th and our initial
salvo with the "Boche " as targets was fired the following night. From that time
on the battery was constantly in action until the cessation of hostilities, occupying
three positions, all between Beney and St. Benoit.
Our first position was on the Beney-St. Benoit road, four hundred meters
from the Beney crossroads. When we first occupied it, the vicinity was strewn
with abandoned war materiel of all kinds, the Germans ha\'ing been driven back
three days previous in the St. Mihiel drive. Rifles, machine-guns ready for
action, hand grenades, entrenching tools, clothing, and stores of ammunition
lay all around. Not far was a German battery of "77 m-m's". We saw their
gunners put to bed with a spade.
Three weeks in the road position and we moved toward St. Benoit, placing
our guns in the edge of the Bois de Beney, where, profiting by the experience
gained in the first position, we soon had comfortable, splinter proof dugouts.
Being in the woods the men could circulate during the daytime without fear of
enemy observation, which proved a great relief after three weeks of seeking con-
cealment on the road. Our kitchen, located in the woods a short distance to the
rear, was conveniently located for the men to "chow. " Flapjacks, whenever
flour could be salvaged, was the leader on the hill of fare. While occupying
this position we were adjusted on by an enemy plane, but fortunately the obser-
vation was poor, for the effect was always short, although a few of the "1 50 m-m's"
hit fifty meters in front.
Our last position was in St. Benoit, one platoon being placed in the grounds
of the chateau and the other in the dike. We were setting pretty. The pieces
were well placed and excellently camouflaged. We found plenty of dry shelter
> / A
SPA
/ -■
in the buildings of the town. The kitchen was nearby. In fact, no better
position could be wished for.
One gun blew up here. An high explosive shell exploded in the muzzle
of Number Three piece. Luckily no casualties resulted, although Number One
of the adjoining piece had his rammer-staff cut in two and his canteen smashed
by flying fragments. The wheels of the next piece were broken.
On November 1 1th, General Donnelly, after watching our gun crews put over
the final volley at maximum speed, complimented the men by saying that he
had never witnessed better work by any battery.
While the gun crews naturally saw the most excitement, the dri\ers at the
echelon got a good taste of shelling the second day on the front. They were
lined up for evening "chow", when, with the usual whistle, a large calibre "Heinie"
shell passed over, killing four men and twelve horses one hundred and fifty meters
away. A second later a second exploded, this time closer. The "chow" line
broke and scattered. The telephone operator alone stayed to wait for the ne,\t
ones.
While in action we learned to know one another. Every last man was
found capable of performing his duties, and many times those of more respon-
sibility. There were no court-martials and no reprimands. The work of the
battery commander's detail is worthy of special mention, as is that of the
camouflage detail, whose work brought a commendation from the Fourth Army
Corps. The treatment accorded by Lieutenant Kellog, battery commander,
and the other officers, as well as their behavior, called forth the best that there
was in ever last one.
On the day the regiment crossed the Serre River at Rossport into Germany
Battery D was the leading battery.

Battery E
"35"
CAPTAIN HABEEB A. SAIDY took charge of a group of thirty-one recruits
just off the train. "You are in Battery E, 341st Field Artillery," he said,
— "follow me." They followed through a maze of dust, o\er piles of
lumber, avoiding ditches and post-holes, to a well lighted barrack on Infantry
Boulex'arcl.
That is how, on the night of September 6, 1917, the enlisted personnel
of Battery E got its start. These men, all from Colorado, comprised the first
five per cent of the original quotas from Lake, Larimer, Jackson, Moffat, Park
and Pitkin counties. They came full of "pep" and enthusiasm, ready for hard
work, and they found the hard work in the succeeding two weeks. Foot drill,
school of the soldier, school of the squad, with rest periods filled in with talks on
military courtesy and discipline, calesthenics, with "shots" in the arm and back,
and issues of equipment, filled in the time from reveille to retreat.
After two weeks the battery mo\'ed to its own barrack and preparations
were made for receiving the "first forty per cent." It arrived September 18th,
followed two weeks later by another likely-looking bunch of recruits. By the
middle of October the battery w'as filled to war strength. The Artillery Brigade
had mo\ed into its own barracks, just completed, and work was under way for
many of the various phases of training.
The regiment had as yet neither horses nor materiel, so the fertile mind
of Captain Saicly conceived the idea of constructing them of wood. "Change
post," and "Prepare to mount. Mount!" were familiar sounds, and the men
became quite expert in leaping astride their barrel horses. Battery E has the
unique distinction of being, so far as known, the first battery to recei\'e its first
equitation on wooden horses.
It was at this time that the wit of the battery, guarding a partially constructed
ammunition storehouse one night, remarked: "This is a hell of an army, riding
wooden horses and guarding empty houses with wooden guns."
On Sunday morning, January 6th, in a snowstorm and biting wind, the
"non-coms." of Battery E had their first gun drill with a "3.2" piece. A few
days later the battery began its first real standing gun drill, using the three-
inch pieces, four of which had been issued to the regiment. Equitation — on
real horses — also began. Digging trenches for the infantry in Smoky Hill Flats

standing gun drill and special uork for the battery commander's detail, in
addition to stables, inspections, guard duty, regimental fatigue, hikes, mounted
and dismounted, with foot-drill and athletic games at odd times, kept us busy
during the winter and spring.
We said good-bye that w inter to many of our members off for early duty
in France with other outfits. A. few of these were met later o\er there; some
made the supreme sacrifice for their country.
On May 1st Battery E fired its first shot. The American three-inch pieces,

Model of 1904, were used. One week later we stayed in the field o\er night,
sleeping in "pup" tents for the first time.
The second half of May meant unusual activity for Battery E. Personal
equipment was checked over and over, new supplies were issued; saddles, bridles
and other individually mounted equipment were boxed up for shipment. In-
spections were many. All the horses were turned oxer to the 92nd Division.
Pay day came on June 1st.
On Sunday, June 2nd, we left Camp Funston. Three days later we were
'm '-
/
<^'

/
in squad tents at Camp Mills, Long Island, New York. There the battery was
placed at full strength by replacements from Camp Upton.
Vlany of us enjoyed sight-seeing trips of New York, Coney Island, and
other places we had heard of — and some we hadn't heard of! A few, the lucky
ones, invested their surplus funds in fifty-Franc service checks. Nlore equipment,
more inspections, and the battery was ready to sail.
Though there are no official records, we belie\'e we ranked first in sea-sickness.
The mess — Herbert Hoover could have found no cause to criticise. In the
Fourth of July contests, Battery E did well; the most remarkable performance
of the day being Pondella's signal victory in the pie-eating contest. He took
an early lead and was never headed.
The Briton has been thought of by many as lacking a certain sense of humor,
but if he is responsible for naming our stopping place in Southampton "rest camp",
we assert he has been slandered. We did rest our digestive apparatus, by not
eating breakfast, perhaps that was what he had in mind.
None will soon forget the "40 Hommes" trip from LaHa\ re to St. Helene.
The outstanding features were the hot coffee served at various stations along
the line, and the stops made now and then along the country-side to enable all
who desired to get a more than passing view of the new and varied scenery.
On Friday afternoon, July 12th, we detrained and hiked to Castelnau, where
the 341st Field Artillery was billeted for three weeks. Battery E's quarters were
in the town hall, a large room with dirt floor and open timbers o\erhead. A.n
abundance of straw, already stored, was available for our bedsacks. We were
comfortable. After a few days' rest the regular routine was resumed.
Hikes, foot drill, setting-up exercises, swimming, instruction periods in
signalling, the "75 m.m. " piece, regimental reviews and band concerts, occupied
the greater portion of the time.
From there we marched to Camp de Souge, thirty kilometers. The rolls
and equipment were hauled on trucks.
The battery occupied two comfortable barracks at Camp de Souge. Warm
shower baths, the first we had seen for more than two months, were the most
popular place in camp.
Cun drill started August 12th; four brand-new "75 m.m." pieces having
been issued to the battery. The daily schedule included stables, harnessing,
equitation, standing gun drill, firing data for non-commissioned officers, and
special instruction for the battery commanders detail. Special details received
instruction in machine-guns, camouflage, telephones and gas defense.
On Friday, August Ibth, Battery E had its first actual firing practice with
the "75 m.m." pieces on the range. From then, until September 6th, we fired on
an average of three half-days per week.

September 6th the entire 164th Field Artillery Brigade fired a barrage lasting
forty minutes. This ended Battery E's range firing. The following week was
taken up with pistol practice, equipment inspections, and packing for the front.
After a three-day trip we detrained at Toul, on September IQth. l\\o
days hiking and Battery E halted on a hillside near Pannes. All rolls and extra
equipment were removed from the carriages, and preparations were made for
going into position. Under cover of darkness, in a steady, soaking rain, the
first seven sections pulled out on to the road. AJter leaving Pannes, a distance
of one hundred meters between sections was maintained. The Pannes-Beney
road was alive with trucks bringing up ammunition, but the dri\'ers pulled through
Beney without mishap and found our position on the road, a short distance to
the north and west of Beney. The cannoneers began to dig in. The guns were
laid, and 802 rounds of high explosive shells were unloaded from the limbers
and caissons. After a strenuous night's work in the rain and darkness the
battery was ready to fire. The gun crews knew what occupying a new position
meant.
i\ gradual slope masked the battery position from the front, but overhead
it was practically unconcealed. A fill in the road afforded slight protection.
Before long several dugouts had been made. The field range was brought up
and a kitchen established under camouflage. All were required to remain under
cover during the day. Practically all the work had to be done at night.
We made our first mo\'e during the nights of October 9th and 10th, after
"Fritz" had secured "overs" and "shorts". Profiting by experiences and mistakes
made at the first position, we built a real battery position. It was an ideal position.
The woods afforded defilade and partial concealment from enemy planes. We
dug pits, lowered the guns about three feet. To the left of the pit, not three
meters from the trail spade, were the ammunition pits co\'ered with corrugated
iron and sand bags. To the right were the dugouts for the gun crews, covered
with iron and three layers of sacks. Double-decked bunks were built. A short
distance to the rear of each piece we built reserve ammunition pits. Between
the platoons, and twenty-five meters to the rear, a two-room dugout was built
for a telephone central and post commander. We were surely setting pretty.
We were comfortable and only a direct hit could get us. On the right fiank,
and less than a half kilometer distance, were a number of wooden buildings built
by the Germans, well hidden among the trees. These were used as barracks
for the extra gun crew's, officers' quarters, and the kitchen, which served three
warm meals every day. We were on a picnic. Inspecting officers said it was
the best position they had seen.
From this position we registered direct hits on Dommartin church steeple,
enemy dugouts, machine-gun nests, and the materiel depots, put o\'er gas attacks,

much harassing fire, and a number of barrages. The last barrage from this
position was fired on the evening of October 29th. We were under orders to
advance to St. Benoit. The four guns were out of action and being pulled from
the pits, when the barrage signal was sent up from the front lines. The guns were
rushed back into action, relayed and ready to fire. We had no more than heard
the reports of guns from neighboring batteries when "Bang!" goes two of Battery
E's guns, followed closely by the other two guns. We fired the barrage and
proceeded to St. Benoit.

Here we went into action along the road. The drainage ditch along the
road with camouflage nets afforded concealment. A culvert was used for the
telephone central. As it was thought only a temporary position little time was
spent that night to make it home-like.
Later, when it was found that the position would be occupied indefinitely,
the first platoon was moved about five hundred meters to the left rear into the
woods; dugouts and ammunition pits were made. Buildings were found
near the guns that served as P. C, telephone central, officers' quarters,
kitchen and barracks for the extra gun crews. We were very comfortable when
'^TTT5
J.
the big day came — the day we put over 29 rounds in the last minute of the
play: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918.
That we may not forget our officers, we will have to remember that the
battery was led into action by Lieutenant Frederic R. Lanagan; Lieutenants
Raymond P. Hogan and Thomas W. Casey were executives; Lieutenant RoUin
D. Chittenden, reconnaissance officer; and Lieutenant George W. Kassler, in
charge of the combat train. Lieutenant Lanagan was relieved by Captain Morrison
Shafroth on October 1 1th. Lieutenant Hogan took command when the Captain
was injured. Lieutenant Hogan was later promoted to Captain. Lieutenants
Frank H. Banks and Will P. Caldwell joined the battery while at St. Benoit.
After arriving at Speicher, Germany, Lieutenant Robert L. Shultz was transferred
to this organization. Captain Hogan continued in command.
At the front Battery E never slept. It could always be counted upon to
deliver when called upon. The gun crews and mechanics kept the guns in first-
class condition despite the mud and rain. The drivers and the others kept the
harness fit and ready. The battery commanders detail was on the job all the
time. One instance of its faithful and efficient work is the fact that on November
10th its telephone line was for several hours the only one working from the front
lines at Haumont, and was used by the infantry as \\ell as by our own observers.
Private King, of the detail, already experienced in dodging enemy shells, further
distinguished himself by voluntarily going to the aid of a wounded "Doughboy",
administering first-aid and bandaging his wounds.
It will be interesting to note the firing Battery E did in action. The gun-
books show that from September 20th, when our first shells went over, until the
final "cease firing" on November 1 1th, we fired a total of 12,758 rounds, an average
of more than 240 rounds per day; or, in other words, we fired an average of one
round every six minutes day and night during the fifty-three days we were in
action. Our machine-guns turned a few thousand rounds loose at aeroplanes.
In spite of the rain and mud and hardships, life at the front was not without
its laughs. One of our cannoneers with an original turn of mind was once acting
as gunner. Having some difficulty in getting on his aiming post \\ith a new
deflection, he called out to another cannoneer: "Go, and move the aiming post,
so I can get on it."
One morning when the battery was sending them on the way with regularity,
the e-xecutive spied a cannoneer near by, sans helmet, sans blouse, sans gas mask.
The officer said: "Now wouldn't you be in a hell of a fix if a gas shell should
light right there!" "Sure, and would n't we both be in a hell of a fix!"
After the signing of the armistice the guns were left in position until
November 27th, the gun crews alternating between duty at the guns and hikes
into territory but recently occupied h\ the "Boche", where mine fields, concrete
': L.
r '
dugouts and other interesting things were inspected. At the echelon the men
waded about in the mud, cleaning harness and caring for the horses. Varying
the monotony, one of the largest dugouts caved in on a dozen men one night.
The morning after Thanksgiving Day the battery pulled out, starting on the
hike into Germany. The third day out we crossed the old Hindenburg ' ' 1 ine. ' ' That
afternoon we stopped in Spincourt, where we were fortunate enough to have stoves
in our billets. Here, too, we found a shower bath, with plenty of hot water.
On the fifth days' march we entered the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg.
The next day we passed through the City of Luxemburg and stopped that night
in Junglinster, where we rested one day.
On December 7th, exactly fi\'e months after we landed in London, we crossed
the Sauer River into Rhineland, Germany. We pulled into Badem that night
after a long, hard hike, having pulled up the worst hills we had encountered so far.
After one day's rest here we moved on to Oberkail, where we spent six days, later
going to Dudeldorf, then to Speicher. Waffles and marmalade and apples were
plentiful at first, provided one had "viel marks."
The big Christmas dinner at Speicher in Meyer's Hall was the event — real
plates, knives and forks, tables, a big warm room, all decorated with evergreens.
Fresh roast pork and dressing and all the rest of the good eats made us forget
we were far from home. A dozen or more of Speicher's "schon Madchens,"
"dolled" up in their best dresses and newest aprons, served.
In January the work for the winter began. A field inspection by the
Division Commander took place on the 17th. On the 27th we left for the artillery
range, near Bettingen, for our first firing since the armistice.
Practice hikes, foot drill and inspections varied the routine of caring for the
horses, washing harness and other fatigue duties. Guard details were sent out
to various points on the railroad and to the Luxemburg border. A few of the
men got trips to Aix-les-Baines or Paris.
The "fiu" struck us about the middle of February, about half of the battery
going to the hospital at Trier. Four of them succumbed to pneumonia. We
mourn the loss of Schumacher, Bradley, Mittlat and Matson, our first losses on
European soil.
After a series of inspections, firing, and competitions. Battery E was rated
as the best battery in the better battalion in the regiment for February, and given
the right to wear a white background in two of the spaces in the division insignia.
It has been worth while. Battery E has been fortunate in having officers
who were not only efficient, but who commanded the respect and admiration of
the men. Perhaps the thing that impressed us most, in our almost endless days
of training and at the front, was our officer's unfailing patience with the men,
often under the most trying circumstances.

Battery F
"36"
BATTERY F, the organization that could always be counted upon to deliver,
whether it was at inspections, firing, or what not. In the beginning back
at Camp Funston we gained that reputation and to the end it was con-
scientiously maintained. Battery F has never been accused of failing in its
missions. Pride in its work has been the chief factor of its success.
At Camp Funston an order would be received to build sidewalks around
the barrack, to have the kitchen and mess hall arranged in such and such a manner,
to build a corral and fix up the stables. Invariably, no matter w hat the character
of the order was, Battery F was one of the first to comply with it. Our "non-
coms." apparently had a way of doing things somehow no matter what the
difficulties were. It was at Camp Funston that our sahage detail gained valuable
experience, and to it is not a little credit for the impro\'ements and conveniences
in our barracks and stables at Funston. It also was responsible that we were
never "short" on anything.
We were the first organization to have service firing. We were selected from
the two light artillery regiments at Camp Funston to fire demonstration problems
for the Third Officers' Training Camp candidates. We were picked to lay down
the barrage over the trenches on Carpenter Hill for General Wood, which was
complimented by him for its accuracy. We also achieved four casualties on the
Fort Riley range — one farmer and three pigs — caused by a Ricochetting shell.
Our life at Camp Funston had no outstanding features; it consisted chiefly
of drill and fatigue. It was the routine life that e\'ery recruit in the National
Army uent through. We took charge of our post and all the government property
in view. We halted all persons from a school-boy to the officer of the day. Our
Corporal Maas, now a Second Lieutenant, as often happens while on guard, fell
asleep and posted the other reliefs in his dreams only. The unfortunates who
walked post all night could never quite figure it out how he happened to be sent
to a training camp for officers.
Our preliminary training was all over on June 1st and we entrained in the
"tourists" for Camp Mills. We sailed on the S. S. "Laomedon" from Boston,
Massachussetts, and found that despite the fact of our training as bronco-
"busters" in the West, chaps and spurs were of little use in riding waves. We ate
"wooley" and "goldfish," and the fishes followed us.
The English watch-charm engines met us at London and we were whirled
across beautiful England to Southampton to the rest camp. Staying there one
/■ -
day, we boarded an old side-wheeler and crossed the English channel, resting in
an erect posture.
We had it "soft" at Castelnau de Medoc, France, the best billet in the quaint
little French village being ours. It was a magnificient old chateau, at one time
the home of a marquis. The grounds, fully ten acres, were enclosed by a stone
wall. Immediately behind the chateau was a concrete swimming pool, which
afforded us an excellent plunge and at the same time a most necessary bath,
a real luxury in France and quite out of the ordinary.
The training at Castelnau consisted mostly of long tiresome hikes on the hot
dusty roads, intended to harden the men for the front. "Non-coms." were
instructed in the French methods and the "T^ mm." piece.
On August 4th we entered Camp de Souge and began intensive training on
the "75 m.m." piece. The men worked hard, and to the surprise of the French
instructors, commenced service firing at the end of the first week, which ended
four weeks later with a brigade barrage.
On that memorable day, September 14th, we loaded at the rail head, leaving
the sand and hot days, and started for "somewhere on the front." Although
we were again traveling French style we were fairly comfortable, as we at least
had room to stretch out. Arriving at Toul we found that we were to take up a
position near Beney in the old St. Mihiel sector.
Our first active service order was, "Keep to the right of the road." From
Toul to the front the area was most intensely interesting. We saw for the first
time what we had read about so often, barbed wire and trenches running in every
direction as far as the eye could see, immense stores of munitions, guns, wagons,
and hospital equipment abandoned by the recently retreating "Hun" as spoils
of war. At every turn in the road we fully expected to encounter the enemy in
full force, for it seemed that we must be close to Germany.
On September 18th we reached Pannes, and received news of the first casualties
of the regiment. Not an exactly cheering reception. Passing on, we established
our first echelon on the Lamarche road two kilometers from Pannes. Then we
began to speed up. Shortly after dusk we loaded all necessary equipment and
materiel on the gun sections and set out with dubious minds to occupy our first
position, which proved to be the last position also. "No smoking or talking;
gas masks alert" were the orders. We did not need to have the orders repeated.
The noise of the guns sounded unnecessarily close, we not knowing where we
were going. However, we successfully rounded that "Dead Man's Corner",
better known as the Beney crossroads, and hurried into position eight hundred
meters on the road to St. Benoit. We fired our first barrage at three hours that
same night. After four hours of steady firing the infantry began to move back
with prisoners, a sign of a successful raid.

The very next day we received our baptism of fire, "Jerry" throwing some
large ones on the crest near the camouflaged road in front of the position. Grad-
ually he increased the range, until finally he secured hits directly in front of one
platoon. We fully expected to be annihilated by the next round, but the next
round never came, "Jerry" laying off for the day. Battery F was lucky again.
Day after day, at an interval of about four hours, we would be entertained by
"Fritz" throwing up mud and rocks in front of us. Many shorts, a few overs,
and a number mighty close, always kept us in a sort of suspense. We all remember
the day that "Heinie" dropped one — a "210 mm." at the door of Captain
Swift's dugout. Fortunately he was not at home. The two batteries in position
to our right were forced to move, but we were able to stick and hand them back.
Everything went along smoothly. Our echelon, in a rather conspicious
position and subject to enemy fire from several directions, was moved one night
to the vicinity of Essey. There dugouts were built for the dri\ers and the
resting gun crews, and stables ere.cted for the horses. The dugouts were warm
and splinter-proof, but not water-proof. Thanks to the salvage detail, e\-ery
dugout had a stove and other conveniences. Sergeant Distler had a first-rate
pantry, equipped with a modern safety device, which effectually kept all prowlers
and always-hungry individuals at a safe distance.
Our first Observation Post was established in a large tree, some five hundred
meters from the position. From it we adjusted and identified targets. After
a number of barrages we grew bolder, and actually established an Observation
Post in the front lines. Our activities then increased. We could conduct our
fire more accurately and gained better resujts.
All the time the gun position was being improved. Gun-pits with platforms
were made, so that the pieces could fire at maximum ele\ation without movement.
Camouflage nets were arranged so that when the guns were not firing, the nets
could be dropped, making the position absolutely proof against aerial observation.
The fore part of October we lost our battery commander. Captain John P.
Swift, who had been in command of the organization from the first, he being
made battalion adjutant. Lieutenant Jones assumed command. Under him
the good work continued. Adjustments were always rapid and precise, and
missions were accomplished with amazing rapidity.
Day after day and night after night, the men worked on, disregarding the
cold and dampness. The firing of a barrage was monotonous. The rumble of
the "chow" wagon as it came down the road every evening with the beans and
rice was never monotonous. Our breakfast was served from thermos cans brought
up in the evening. The midday meal or luncheon consisted most always of
salmon or "corn wooly" and bread, with prunes as a dessert.
In time a regular routine of duties was established and we were working like

a bunch of old-timers. Two days would we labor and fast at the position, and
then back to the echelon for a two-day's rest. There we enjoyed the free baths
of Sergeant Eby on the mud flat. Cold outside, but not inside, for within the
bath-house the salvage detail had placed a "Dutch" traction engine with an enor-
mous capacity of hot water.
To vary the monotony, "Jerry" put across a few rounds of sneezing gas,
of which all at the position took snuffs. No ill effects other than temporary
physical discomfort followed.
Ammunition was always a source of worry. We never ran short of
ammunition, however, as the worry always prompted the salvage detail to greater
efforts. One night ammunition was low. Corporal Layton in charge of the
ammunition headed the salvaging crew. Sufficient ammunition was acquired
that night to last a week. Another time Sergeant Chew, searching for white
fuses, found a box near the dugout of the commander of another battery. We
had white fuses that night.
We had a reel cart, the pride of Lieutenant Wyatt. It was filled with real
wire — not the kind that was issued to artillery. It was reported as "missing."
Lieutenant Wyatt called the leaders of the salvage detail together and instituted
a search. He threatened dire things to the taker of the reel cart. He appealed
for aid from battalion headquarters. It ga\'e him no sympathy, only laughing.
Finally after days of search it was found in the possession of a sister battery
and was then returned. Thereafter the reel cart was not hid in the wood. It
was kept at the position away from foreign salvage details.
Most barrages were monotonous. But one evening, while firing a problem
on an important crossroad, the drone of the motor of a German bomber was
heard overhead, followed shortly by twenty of his gifts, landing in more or less
proximity to the position. We finished our problem without ceasing fire.
Under shell-fire it often seems that a whole year is contained in the short
space of fi\e minutes. We can recall that eventful evening when the German
"77 m.m.'s " swept up and down the road, dropping ten shells between the gun-
pits and the dugouts in the three volleys fired. No casualties, except the
"Number One" piece, which sight was shot away. Battery F was lucky once more.
We all remember the ten advances that were made by the echelon. Lieutenant
Clausing would awake us at midnight, give orders to harness and hitch in "double
time," and then at the "zero" hour move off for the gun position, only to return
a few hours later tired, cold and hungry. The only advance was made by the
echelon to the gun position. This was all in the game.
Steadily we gained experience and confidence, until finally on November
11th, at eleven hours, we fired our last rounds in the world war, pouring steel
-114—
f , ; .'•
into "Fritz" at the rate of twenty-four rounds per gun per minute, and then it
was "Fini la Guerre."
From the cessation of hostilities to November 29th we w ere, and we were not,
going into Germany. Finally we did receive orders to rejoin the 89th Division,
and become a part of the Third Army, the Army of Occupation.
The first day's hike landed us at Arvillers, tired and stiff. The second night
found us more tired and more stiff; that condition steadily growing until the end
of the hike. Up at four hours, roll blankets, take on a little "slum", harness and
hitch, then march until late in the afternoon, arriving at our billets just before or
after dark, with an hour's halt at noon for "chow", we took little interest in the
scenery. We were in the artillery and the artillery always rides — except in
war. After eleven days on the road we reached Oherkail, then to Dudeldorf
and to Speicher, the last proving to be our winter billet.
Inspections and road hikes kept us busy for a number of weeks. Then we
were given leaves to France, England, and Italy. Many of the men \'isited Treves
and Coblenz, Germany. Athletics were participated in. Lieutenant Schweiger
was a member of the 89th Division football team, champions of the American
Expeditionary Forces. We fired twice on the range, but cold weather prevented
snappy work.
Every last man on the roster of Battery F is proud of his organization and
the part that he played in its record, from the training days at Camp Funston,
with the dappled gray horses, to its missions on the front, and finally to the day
that they were "mustered out."

The Supply Company
THE SUPPLY COMPANY under the plan of military organization is not
a fighting unit. It is a supply company, nothing else. We ha\e endeavored
to perform efficiently that task with some success, we helie\-e, and although
we have been cursed, maligned and everything else in the \ocahulary, we can
say without fear of contradiction that the fighting units of the regiment have
always secured sufficient supplies to enable them to function properly. Ours
has not been the work of interest and glory; rather it has been ai'duous, tiresome
and monotonous, with few compensations, except that by our aid the regiment
would not have been able to establish the enviable reputation it has.
The feeding, clothing, and outfitting in equipage and materiel, keeping
this equipment up-to-date and serviceable, often under adxerse conditions, and
the supplying of fuel and forage as well, for an artillery regiment of fifteen
hundred men and some nine hundred odd animals is a job of no mean proportion.
It required the best that was in every last man, whether it was a "mule-skinner,"
stevedore, non-commissioned officer, or officer. It meant hard work and was
hard work.
Ever since that day at Camp Funston w hen General Starbuck, on a tour of
inspection to determine the fitness of artillery regiments in the many canton-
ments throughout the United States, passed down our lines endea\oring to inspect
our rifles with little success, turned to Captain Greable at the conclusion and
said, "Give them 'Present Arms,' if you think they will recognize the command, "
and Captain Greable, somewhat embarrassed replied, "No, sir. General, 1 don't
believe they will. We ha\e ne\er sought parade ground honors. We ha\e been
content to let the other organizations, whenever possible, appear without the
Supply Company at dismounted inspections and re\iews."
Much credit for the initial organization is due to Captain Wentworth's
broad knowledge and understanding of men. His kindly personal nature did
much, during recruit days at Camp Funston, to instill the spirit of fellowship
and accomplishment into the men from Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Kansas and Missouri, w ho were assigned to the company. Coming from civilian
life they knew nothing of soldiering, and he steered them through this difficult
period with patience and rare judgment. We were e\en formally introduced to
the First Sergeant. That is humorous to us today, but then we appreciated it,
for few knew the difference between that indi\idual and a kitchen police.
Later on, in January, 1^18, when Captain Wentworth was transferred to
brigade commander's staff'. Captain Robert W. Greable assumed command.

A man of long military ser\'ice he understooLl the game. Results were his aim.
Giving the initiati\-e of the men fair play and anticipating e\ents, he made the
organization ready at all times for whatever task, or obstacle, might confront it.
Our life at Camp Funston afforded many pleasantries. We were more or
less serious in our work, but never so serious that we failed to discern humor in
the work, and ne\'er so busy but what we could find time for play and amusement
now and then. By tact we were usually successful in evading the thirteen second
lieutenants, who were attached to the Supply Company for ti'aining and
experience, and despite the strenuous routine they exacted were able to enjoy life.
The Supply Company carried off the social honors at Camp Funston.
Thanksgi\'ing Day was our debut For the first time our mothei's, fathers,
wives, sisters, sweethearts, and brothers, were our guests. It was then our cooks
founded their enviable reputation. Christmas was another red-letter day in
our social history. After our wagon train had distributed its share of the
Christmas packages to the men of the Division, dinner and dancing in the ban"acks
followed. After this came on e\'ery possible occasion dinners and glances for
the nurses of the Base Hospital at Fort Rilc\\ whom we had the good fortune
to corner from the remainder of the regiment. The en\y of the other organ-
izations was not concealed. Much as we enjoyed these e\-ents, e\'en more did
we look forward to the picnics at Paw'nee Flats w hen wc were the guests of the
nurses. The "Zone", Army City's Palm Garden and Bells Cafe were popular
rendez\'Ous, not to mention Topeka, which held certain attractions for the lucky
holders of week-end passes.
Enthusiastic participation in athletics and sports ol all kinds was to our
liking. Mules, of course, were our long suit ; and if we did fail to win the
regimental baseball championship, we did take Headquarters Company and
Battery B into camp.
Mention in general orders, by Major-General Wood, for the best four-line
team of mules in a competitixc show at Camp Funston was gained by the Supply
Company.
The last of N'lay was a time of work all day long and part of the night.
We carefully crated and loaded our materiel for o^'erseas, (materiel which we
never saw again), issued thousands of pieces of clothing to the regiment in addition
to other supplies. Finally, on June 3rd, we cleared the camp quartermaster and
entrained for Camp Mills, Long Island, New ^'ork.
Upon arrival there the Supply Company did some more equipping. A job
well done was the reward of the hard labor and long hours entailed. Facilities
were wholly inadequate for the size of the job. Small wall tents with paulins
spread upon the ground were used for the sorting, sizing, and issuing of the
property from the hugh sacks of supplies, but despite these adxerse conditions
-119-
<■.<..
the work was completed — a quarter-million dollar's worth of property handled
in an increditable short time.
New ^'ork held allurements to the men. Unfortunately day passes were
scarce because of the nature of our work. However, after a night trip to
Coney Island and environs by the commanding officer, which he reported most
enjoyable, we were given the famous "Si.x-to-Si,x' passes and were enabled to see
New York with its Broadway, Rockaway Beach and other attractions by
night. Lieutenant Tabbert habitually held reveille to count the stragglers as
they came wearily in.
The trip overseas on the S. S. "Bohemia " is not easily forgotten. English
characteristics, reviewed pro and con in the Supply Company section of the
ship's hold, were certainly made sufficiently clear and pronounced by the views
of the men so that they will long be remembered. July Fourth was an exceptional
beautiful day. The day w as calm and clear, and although we were in the submarine
zone, yet with fitting and impressive ceremony our colors were hoisted to the
ship's mast-head in proud defiance of the enemy
The arrival of the transport at Tilbury, London, marked again the beginning
of hard work. The other organizations debarked shortly after the steamer
docked, but not the Supply Company. Its lot was to unload the baggage and
equipment of the regiment. A crude block and tackle was rigged up to lift the
barrack bags up from the hold. Operated by hand, we thought that the last
barrack bag would never be brought up. At Southampton we smashed the
barrack bags again. At LeHarve the task again confronted us, only here we
were hindered by countless "Chinks " who were supposed to help, but who only
succeeded in always being in the way. The barracks bag followed us all the way
to Camp de Souge, only to be salvaged. If we had only known those bags were
to be salvaged eventually !
"While waiting at Castelnau to enter the artillery training camp at Camp
de Souge we began the work of re-equipping the regiment with animals, materiel,
and countless other supplies, which was not finished until well toward the end
of the training period, and then only after a large reduction in allowances.
Sometimes the equipment was a\ailable at the depot quartermaster, but often it
was assembled through our own efforts from the supply bases at Bordeaux. This
meant doubled effort.
On the eve of our departure for the front the three sections of the Company —
the Regimental, the First Battalion and the Second Battalion — which were to be
separated at the front, ga\'e a banquet in commemoration of the end of the
training period. Colonel Da\is, the regimental commander, the honored guest
of the evening, in a brief, characteristic, extemporaneous toast, made summary
of the entire training, commending the organization, its personnel, its resource-
trj^ f!:;;:;
-120-
fullness and discipline, and laying stress on the importance of every member
realizing individual responsibility and initiative for proper and effective functioning
of a supply company unit at the front.
Headquarters of the regimental supply service was established at Pannes.
a place centrally located between the firing batteries and the battalion echelons,
well chosen for the distribution of supplies. Enemy observation of the dump
was impossible save by an aeroplane. Protection from shell-fire was afforded
by a bluff. Splinter-proof dugouts, which "Fritz" had only recently evacuated,
were very convenient whenever he decided that Pannes should be shelled.

The regimental section limited its operations among the railheads at
Bouillonville, Essey, Bernecourt. Manicourt. Heudicourt and Vigneulles, and
the regimental dump at Pannes. Rations, forage and other supplies were
brought to the dump and there distributed to the echleons by ration carts and
escort wagons. From the echelons the supplies and food were taken to the
firing batteries at night. Night after night without fail, over roads oftentimes
under shell-fire, water and rations were delivered to the gun crews. It can be
stated with pride that the batteries never missed a meal while on the front through

We are proud of our record. Seldom did a court-martial disgrace our ranks.

lived to return to the States. We were remarkably free from sickness the records
show .
Army tact and stevedore talent always do contribute to supply company's
histories.

REPORT OF
GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING, U.S.A.
COMMANDER- 1 N-CHIEF
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES
Cabled to the Secretary of War, November 20. iciiS.
Corrected January 16, iqiq.
General Headquarters,
American Expeditionary Forces,
No\-ember 20, 1918.
To THE Secretary of War :
My Dear Mr. Secretary :
In response to your request, I ha\'e the honor to submit this brief summary
of the organization and operations of the American E.xpeditionary Forces from
fvlay 26, 1917, until the signing of the armistice No\'ember 1 1, 1918.
Pursuant to j'our instructions, immediately upon recei\"ing my orders, I
selected a small staff and proceeded to Europe in order to become familiar with
conditions at the earliest possible moment.
The wannth of our reception in England and France was only equalled by
the readiness of the Commanders in Chief of the veteran armies of the Allies and
their staffs to place their experience at our disposal. In consultation with them
the most effective means of co-operation of effort were considered. With French
and British armies at their ma.ximum strength, and all efforts to dislodge the enemy
from his firmly entrenched positions in Belgium and France having failed, it was
necessary to plan for an American force adequate to turn the scale in favor of the
Allies. Taking account of the strength of the Central Powers at that time, the
a m
-12^-
#;"-^
immensity of the problem whicli confronted us eould hardly be overestimated.
The first requisite being an organization that could give intelligent direction to
effort, the formation of a general staff occupied my early attention.
General Staff
A well organized general staff through which the Commander exercises his
functions is essential to a successful modern army. However capable our divisions,
our battalions and our companies as such, success would be impossible without
throughly co-ordinated endeavor. A general staff broadly organized and trained
for war had not hitherto existed in our army. Under the Commander in Chief,
this staff must carry out the policy, and direct the details of administration,
supply, preparation and operations of the army as a whole, with all special branches
and bureaus subject to its control. As models to aid us we had the veteran French
General Staff and the experience of the British, who had similarly formed an
organization to meet the demands of a great army. By selecting from each the
features best adapted to our basic organization, and fortified by our own early
experience in the war, the developments of our great general staff system was
completed.
The General Staff is naturally divided into five groups, each w ith its chief,
who is an assistant to the Chief of the General Staff. G-1 (General Staff- 1)
is in charge of organization and equipment of troops, replacements, tonnage,
priority of overseas shipments, the auxiliary welfare associations and cognate
subjects; G-2 has censorship, enemy intelligence, gathering and disseminating
information, preparation of maps and all similar subjects; G-3 is charged with all
strategic studies and plans, movement of troops and the supervision of combat
operations; G-4 co-ordinates important questions of supply, construction, trans-
port arrangements for combat, and the operations of the Services of Supply, and
of hospitalization and the evacuation of the sick and Vi-ounded; G-5 supervises
the various schools and has general direction and co-ordination of education and
training.
The first Chief of Staff was Colonel (now Major General) James G. Harbord,
who was succeeded in May, 1918, by Major General James W. McAndrew. To
these officers, to the Deputy Chief of Staff, and to the Assistant Chiefs of Staff,
who as heads of sections aided them, great credit is due for the results obtained,
not only in perfecting the general staff organization, but in applying correct
principles to the multiplicity of problems that have arisen.
Organization and Training
After a thorough consideration of allied organizations, it was decided that
■ J
our combat cli\'isions should consist of two infantry brigades of two regiments
each, an artillery brigade of three regiments, a machine gun battalion, an engineer
regiment, a trench mortar battery, a signal battalion, and headquarters, trains
and military police; that our infantry regiments were to consist of approximately
3,700 men organized as follows: a headquarters company, a supply company,
a machine gun company, and three battalions with four companies, each of 250
men to a battalion. 1 hese with medical and other units made a total of over
28,000 men, or practically double the size of a French oi- Gennan di\-ision. Each
corps would normally consist of six divisions, four combat and one depot and one
replacement di\ision, and also two regiments of cavalry, and each army of from
three to five corps. With four divisions fully trained, a corps could take over an
American sector, with two divisions in line and two in reser\'e, with the depot
and replacement divisions prepared to fill the gaps in the ranks.
Our purpose was to prepare an integral American force which should be
able to take the offensive in every respect. Accordingly the development of a
self-reliant infantry by thorough drill in the use of the rifle and in the tactics of
open warfare was always uppermost. The plan of training after ari-i\al in France
allowed a division one month for acclimatization and instruction in small units
from battalions down, a second month in quiet trench sectors by battalions, and
a thii-d month after it came out of the trenches, when it should be trained as a
complete division in war of movement.
V^ry early a system of schools w'as outlined and started, having the advantage
of instruction by officers direct from the front. At the great school center at
Langres, one of the first to be organized was the staff school, where the principles
of general staff work as laid down in our own organization were taught to carefully
selected officers. Men in the ranks who had shown qualities of leadership were
sent to the school of candidates for commissions. A school of the line taught
younger officers the principles of leadership, tactics and the use of the different
weapons. In the Artillery School at Saumur young officers were taught the
fundamental principles of modern artillery', while at Issoudun an immense plant
was built for training cadets in a\'iation. These and other schools with their
well-considered curriculums for training in every branch of our organizations
were co-ordinated in a manner best to develop an efficient army out of willing
and industrious young men, many of whom had not before known e\en the
rudiments of military technique. Both Marshall Haig and General Retain
placed officers and men at our disposal for instructional purposes, and we are
deeply indebted for the opportunities gi\'en to profit by their \-eteran experience.
w^:Mm
American Zone
The eventual place the American Army should take on the western front
was to a large extent influenced by the vital questions of communication and
supplies. The northern ports of France were crowded by the British Army's
shipping and supplies, while the southern ports, though otherwise at our service,
had not adequate port facilities for our purposes, and these we should have to
build. The already overtaxed railway system behind the active front in northern
France would not be available for us as lines of supply, and those leading from the
southern ports to northeastern France would be unequal to our needs without
much new construction. Practically all warehouses, supply depots and regulating
stations must be provided by fresh construction. While France offered us such
material as she had to spare after a drain of three years of war, yet there were
enormous quantities of material to be brought across the Atlantic.
With such a problem any temporization or lack of definiteness in making
plans might cause failure even with victory within our grasp. VIoreover, broad
plans commensurate with our national purpose and resources would bring con-
viction of our power to every soldier in the front line, to the nations associated
with us in the war, and to the enemy. The tonnage for material for necessary
construction and for the supply of an army of three and perhaps four million
men would require a mammoth program of shipbuilding at home, and miles of
dock construction in France, with a correspondingly large project for additional
railways and for storage depots.
All these considerations led to the inevitable conclusion that, if we were
to handle and supply the great forces deemed essential to win the war, we must
utilize the southern ports of France, Bordeaux, La Pallice, St. Nazaire and Brest,
and the comparatively unused railway systems leading therefrom to the northeast.
Generally speaking, then, this would contemplate the use of our forces against
the enemy somewhere in that direction, but the great depots of supply must be
centrally located, preferably in the area included by Tours, Bourges and Cha^tea-
urox, so that our armies could be supplied with equal facility wherever they might
be ser\ ing on the western front.
Growth of the Services of Supply
To build up such a system there were talented men in the Regular Army,
but more experts were necessary than the army could furnish. Thanks to the
patriotic spirit of our people at home, there came from civil life men trained for
every sort of work involved in building and managing an organization that was
to handle and transport such an army and keep it supplied. With such assistance
the construction and general development of our plans have kept pace with
t
the growth of the forces, and the Services of Supply is now able to discharge from
ship and move 45,000 tons daily, besides transporting troops and material necessary
in the conduct of active operations.
As to organization, all the administrative and supply services, except the
Adjutant General's, Inspector General's and Judge Advocate General's Depart-
ments, which remain at General Headquarters, have been transferred to the
Headquarters of the Services of Supply at Tours, under a Commanding General
responsible to the Commander in Chief for supply of the armies. The Chief
Quartermaster, Chief Surgeon, Chief Signal Officer, Chief of Ordnance, Chief
of Air Service, Chief of Chemical Warfare Service and the General Purchasing
Agent, in all that pertains to questions of procurement of supply, the Pro\'OSt
Marshall General in the maintenance of order in general, and the Director General
of Transportation in all that affects such matters, and the Chief Engineer in all
matters of administration and supply, are subordinate to the Commanding
General of the Services of Supply, who, assisted by a staff especially organized
for the prupose, is charged with the administrati\e co-oi-dination of all these
services.
The Transportation Department under the Services of Supply directs the
operation and maintenance of railways, the operation of terminals, the unloading
of ships and transportation of material to warehouses or to the front. Its functions
make necessary the most intimate relationship between our organization and that
of the French, with the practical result that our transportation department has
been able to improve materially the operation of railways generally. Constantly
laboring under a shortage of rolling stock the transportation department has
nevertheless been able by efficient management to meet every emergency.
The Engineer Corps is charged with all construction, including light and
standard gauge railways and roads. It has planned and constructed the many
projects required, the most important of which are the new wharves at Bordeaux
and Nantes, and the immense storage depots at La Pallice, Montoir and Gievres,
besides innumerable hospitals and barracks in various ports of France. These
projects have all been carried on by phases, keeping pace with our needs. The
Forestry Service under the Engineers Corps has cut the greater part of the timber
and railway ties required.
To meet the shortage of supplies from America due to lack of shipping, the
representatives of the different supply departments were constantly in search of
available material and supplies in Europe. In order to co-ordinate these purchases
and to pre\ent competition between our departments, a general purchasing agency
was created early in our experience to co-ordinate our purchases and, if possible,
induce our Allies to apply the principle among the Allied armies. While there
w,'as no" authority for the general use of appropriations, this was met by grouping
'127
the purchasing representatives of the different departments under one control,
charged with the duty of consolidating requisitions and purchases. Our efforts
to extend the principle have been signally successful, and all purchases for the
Allied armies are now on an equitable and co-operative basis. Indeed, it may
be said that the work of this bureau has been thoroughly efficient and businesslike.
Artillery, Airplanes and Tanks
Our entry into the war found us with few of the auxiliaries necessary for
its conduct in the modern sense. Among our most important deficiencies in
material were artillery, aviation and tanks. In order to meet our requirements
as rapidly as possible, we accepted the offer of the French government to provide
us with the necessary artillery equipment of 75's, 155 mm. Howitzers and 155
G. P. F. guns from their own factories for 30 divisions. The wisdom of this
course is fully demonstrated by the fact that, although we soon began the manu-
facture of these classes of guns at home, there were no guns of the calibers
mentioned manufactured in America on our front at the date the armistice was
signed. The only guns of these types produced at home thus far received in
France are 109 75 mm. guns.
In aviation we were in the same situation, and here again the French govern-
ment came to our aid until our own ax'iation program should be under way. We
obtained from the French the necessary planes for training our personnel, and
they have provided us with a total of 2,076 pursuit, obser\'ation and bombing
planes. The first airplane received from home arrived in May, and altogether
we have received 1,379 planes. The first American squadron completely equipped
by American production, including airplanes, crossed the German lines on August
7, 1918. As to tanks, we were also compelled to rely upon the French. Here,
how'e\er, we were less fortunate, for the reason that the French production could
barely meet the requirements of their own armies.
It should be fully realized that the French go\ernment has always taken a
most liberal attitude, and has been most anxious to gi\e us e\ery possible assistance
in meeting our deficiencies in these as well as in other respects. Our dependence
upon France for artillery, aviation and tanks was, of course, due to the fact that
our industries had not been exclusively de\-oted to military production. All
credit is due our own manufacturers for their efforts to meet our requirements,
as at the time the armistice was signed we w ere able to look forw ard to the early
supply of practically all our necessities from oui" own factories.

Combat Operations
During our periods of training in the ti'cnches some of our di\ isions had
engaged the enemy in local combats, the most important of which w as Seicheprey
by the 2bth Di\-ision on April 2()th, in the Toul sector, but none had participated
in action as a unit. The 1st Di\ision. which had passed thi^OLigh the preliminary
stages of training, had gone to the trenches for its first period of instixiction at
the end of October, anci by March 21st, when the German oftensi\"e in Picarcly
began, we had four dixisions with experience in the trenches, all of which were
equal to any demands of battle action. The crisis which this olTensix'c de\"eloped
was such that our occupation of an American sector had to be postponed.
On March 28th I placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had been agreed
upon as Commander in Chief of the Allied Armies, all of our I'orces, to be used as
he might decide. At his request the 1st Di\'ision was transferred fi'om the Toul
sector to a position in reserxe at Chaumont-en-\'e\in. As Gei'man superiority
in numbers required pi'ompt action, an agreement was reached at the Abbeville
conference of the Allied Premiers and Commanders and myself on Ma\' 2nd by
which British shipping was to transport ten American di\-isions to the British
army area, where they were to be trained and equipped, and additional
British shipping was to be pro\-ided for as many di\isions as possible for use
elsewhere.
On April 2bth the 1st Dix'ision had gone into the line in the Montdidier salient
on the Picardv battle front. Tactics had been suddenly re\-olutionized to those of
m wmMi
/ -
open warclare, and ulii- men eonfielent of the results of their ti-aining were eager
for the test. On the morning of May 2iSth this di\ision attacked the eommanding
German position in its fi'ont, taking with splendid dash the town of Cantigny
and all other object i\cs w hich were organized, and held steadfastly against \-icious
counter-attacks and galling artillery fire. Although local, this bi'illiant action
had an electrical effect, as it demonstrated oui' fighting qualities under extreme
battle conditions, and also that the enemy's ti^oops were not altogether in\-ineible.
The Germans' Aisne offensi\e, which began on May 27th, had advanced
rapidly towards the Ri\er M'arne and Pai'is, and the Allies faced a crisis equally
as grave as that of the I-icardy offensive in Mfaixh. Again every available man
was p^lacecl at Marshal f-och's disposal, and the 3rcl Di\ision, which had just
come from its pi'eliminary training area, was hurried to the Marne. Its n:otorizecl
machine gun battalion preceded the other units, and successfully held the bridge-
head at the Marne opposite Ghateau-Thierry. The 2nd Di\ision. in reser\e
near Montdiclicr, was sent by motor trucks and other a\ailable ti'ansport to
check the progi'ess of the enemy toward Paris. '! he elixision attacked and ix^took
the town and railroad station at Eouresches and sturdih' held its ground against
the enemy's best Gtiarcl eliNisions. Xn the battle of [?elleau Wood which followed
our men prox'cd thcii' siiperioi'ity, and gained a sti'ong tactical position with far
gi'eater loss to the enem\' than to ourscKes. On July 1st, before the 2nd Dixision
was rclie\cd, it capturcel the \illage of \'au.\ with most splendid precision.
Meanwhile, oui' I^ectmel Goi'ps, under Nlajor General George W. Read, had
been oi'ganized lor the command of our elixisions with the [British which were
held back in training areas or assigncel to second line delerscs. bi\'e of the ten
cli\'isions were withdrawn from the Biitish area in jtine, three to i'elie\e di\ isions
in Lorraine and the 'Vosges, and two to the l^aris area to join the gi'otip of .Amei'ican
divisions which stood between the city and any fuither acKancc of the enemy
in that dii'cction.
'I he great June-July tiX)Op mo\'ement from the States was well under way,
and, although these troops were to be gi\en some preliminaiy ti'aining before
being put into action, tb.eii- \ery presence warranted the use of all the older dixisions
in the confidence that we did not lack reserves. Flem.ents of the 42nel Di\ision
were in the line east of Rheims against the German offensixe of Jul\- l)th, and
held their ground undinchingly. On the right flank of this offensi\e four companies
of the 28th Di\ision were in position in face of the ad\-ancing wa\es of the
German infantry. 1 he .3rd Division was holding the south bank of the Marne
from a point 1 ' - kilometers cast of MIezy to Ghierry, w hich is just east ol Ghateau-
Thierry, w-here a large force of German infantry sought to force a passage under
support of powerful artillery concentrations and under cover of smoke screens. A
single regiment of the 3rd Division wrote one of the most brilliant pages in our

military annals on this occasion It piT\ented the crossing at certain points on its
front, while, on cither (lank, the Germans who had gained a footing pressed foi'ward.
Oui- men firing in three directions met the German attacks with counter-attack
at critical point, and succeeded in throwing two German divisions into complete
confusion, capturing six hundred prisonei's.
The great foi'ce of the German Chateau-Thierry offensive established the
deep iVIarne salient, h.ut the enemy was taking risks and the \'ulnerability of
this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadxantage. Seizing the opportunity
to support my con\iction, every du'ision with any sort of ti'aining was made
a\ailable for use in a counter offensi\-e. The place of honoi' in the thrtist toward
Soissons on July l<'"!th was gixen to oui' 1st and 2nd Di\isions, in compan\' with
chosen f-rench di\'isions. Without the usual brief warning of a pi'climinary
bombardment, the massed French and American ai'tillei'\', (fiMng by the map,
laid down its rolling barrage at dawn w bile the infantr\- began its charge. I he
tactical handling of our troops undei' these trying conelitions was excellent
throughout th.e action. 'I he enemy brought up lai'ge ntimbcrs of reseiwcs and

whence the 3rd and 4th Di\-isions were already advancing, while the French
divisions with which \\c weix co-operating were moving forward at other points.
The 3rd Dnision had made its advance into Roncheres Wood on the 29th,
and was relie\-ed for rest by a brigade of the 32nd Division. The 42nd and 32nd
Divisions undertook the task of conquering the heights beyond Cierges, the 42nd
capturing Sergy and the 32nd capturing Hill 230, both American divisions joining
in the rapid pursuit of the enemy to the Vesle, and thus the operation of reducing
the salient was finished.
On August 3rd the 42nd Di\ision was relieved by the 4th Di\ision at Chery-
Chartreuve, and on August c.th the 32nd Di\'ision was relie\-ed by the 2'Sth Di\-ision.
The 4th Division in turn was relieved on August 12th by the 77th Division. The
First Corps operated in this region until the 1 3th of August, when it was transferred
to the \icinity of Toul. The Third Corps, in which the 28th, 32nd and 77th
Di\isions ser\ed at ^■arious times, Major Ceneral Robert L. Bullard commanding,
took part in the offensi\'e on the Vesle from August 5th until September Qth,
on which date the command passed to the French, and Corps Headquarters was
transferred to the region of Verdun.
Battle of St. Mihiel
With the reduction of the Marne salient we could look forward to the con-
centration of our di\isions in our own zone. In \'iew of the forthcoming operation
against the St. N'lihiel salient, which had long been planned as our first offensive
action on a large scale, the First Army was organized on August 10th under my
personal command. While American units had held different di\-isional and
corps sectors all along the western front, there had not been up to this time, for
obvious reasons, a distinct American sector; but in view ot the important part
the American forces were now to play it was necessary to take o\'er a permanent
portion of the line. Accordingly on August 30th the line beginning at Port-sur-
Seille, east of the Moselle and extending to the west through St. Mihiel, thence
north to a point opposite Verdun, was placed under my command. The American
sector was afterward extended across the N4euse to the western edge of the
Argonne Forest, and included the 2nd French Colonial Corps which held the
point of the salient, and the 17th French Corps which occupied the heights above
Verdun.
The preparation for a complicated operation against the formidable defenses
in front of us included the assembling of di\isions, and of corps and army artillery,
transport, air craft, tanks, ambulances, the location of hospitals, anc4 the moulding
together of all the elements of a great modern army, with its own railheads,
supplied directly by our own Services of Supply. The concentration for this
operation, which was to he a surprise, involved the movement mostly at night
of approximately 600,000 troops, and required for its success the most careful
attention to every detail.
The French were generous in gi\ing us assistance in corps and army artillery,
with its personnel, and we were confident from the start of our superiority o\-er
the enemy in guns of all calibers. Our heavy guns were able to reach Nietz and
to interfere seriously with German rail movements. The French independent
air force was placed under my command, which, together with the British bombing
squadrons and our own air forces, gave us the largest assembly of a\iation that
had ever been engaged in one operation on the western front.
From Les Fparges around the nose of the salient of St. Mihiel to the Moselle
River the line was roughly forty miles long and situated on commanding ground,
greatly strengthened by artificial defenses. Our First Corps (82nd, 90th, 5th
and 2nd Divisions), under command of Major General Hunter Liggett, resting
its right on Pont-a-Mousson, with its left joining our Fourth Corps (the S^th,
42nd and 1st Divisions), under Major General Joseph T. Dickman, in line to
Xi\'ray, were to swing in toward Vigneulles, on the pi\ot of the Moselle Ri\er,
for the initial assault, b^rom Xivray to Mouilly the Second French Colonial
Corps was in line in the center, and our Fifth Corps, undei- command of Major
General George H. Cameron, with the 26th and 4th U. S. Di\'isions and the 1 5th
French Colonial Division at the western base of the salient .were to attack three
difficult hills, Les Fparges, Combres and Amaranthe. Oui" First Corps had in
reser\'e the 78th Division, our Fourth Corps the 3rd Division, and our First y\rmy
the 35th and 91st Divisions, with the 80th and 33rd Divisions available. It
should be understood that our corps organizations ai'c \ery elastic, and that we
ha\'e at no time had permanent assignments of divisions to corps.
After four hours' artillery preparation the seven American divisions in the
front line advanced at 5 a. m., on September 12th, assisted by a limited number
of tanks, manned partly by Americans and partly by the French. These divisions,
accompanied by groups of wire cutters and others armed with bangalore torpedoes,
went through the successive bands of barbed wire that protected the enemy's
front line and support trenches in irresistible waves on schedule time, breaking
down all defense of an enemy demoralized by the great volume of our artillery
fire and our sudden appearance out of the fog.
Our First Corps took Thiaucourt, while our Fourth Corps curved back to
the southwest through Nonsard. The Second French Colonial Corps made the
slight advance required of it on verv' difficult ground, and the Fifth Corps took
its three ridges and repulsed a counter-attack. A rapid march brought reserve
regiments of a division of the Fifty Corps into Vigneulles in the early morning,
where it linked up with pati'ols of our Fourth Corps, closing the salient and forming
^ r.,j '- y
X
a new line west of Thiaueourt to Vignculles and beyond Fresnes-en-Woevre.
At the cost of only 7,000 casualties, mostly light, we had taken 13,751 prisoners
and 443 guns, a great quantity of materiel, released the inhabitants of many
\illages from enemy domination and established our lines in a position to threaten
Metz. The signal success of the new .American Army in its first o(tensi\'e was of
prime importance. The Allies found they had a formidable army to aid them,
and the cnemv learned finally that he had one to reckon with.
Meuse-Arconne Offensi\ e — First Phase
On the day after we had taken the St. \'Iihiel salient, much of oui' coi-ps and
army artillei'y which had operated at St. Mihiel. and our di\'isions in reser\-e at
other points, were already on the mo\'e tow ard the ai'ea back of the line between
the Meuse River and the western edge of the Foi'est of Argonne. \\ ith the
exception of St. Mihiel, the old German front line from Switzerland to the east
of Rheims was still intact. In the general attack planned all along the line, the
operation assigned the American Army as the hinge of this allied offensi\e was
directed towai'cl th.e im]3ortant railroad communications of the (German armies
through Mezieres and Sedan. The enem\' must hold fast to this part of his
lines or the withdrawal of his forces w ith four years' accumulation of plants and
material would be dangerously imperiled.
The German Army had as yet shown no demoi'alization. and. while the
mass of its troops had suffered in morale, its first class dixisions and notably its
machine gun detense were exhibiting remaiTable tactical efliciency as well as
courage. The German General StafI was fully aware of the consequences of a success
on the Ivleuse-Argonne line. Geitain that he would Ad e\erything in his power to
oppose us, the action was planned with as much secrecy as possible, an^l was
undertaken with the determination to use all our di\'isions in forcing a decision.
We expected to di'aw the best German dixisions to our front and consume them,
while the enemy was held under gra\'e apprehension lest our attack should bi'eak
his line, which it was our firm purpose to do.
Our right fiank was protected by the N4euse, while our left embraced the
Argonne Forest, whose ravines, hills and elaborate defenses screened by dense
thickets had been generally considered impregnable. Our order of battle from
right to left was the Third Corps from the Meuse to Malancourt, with the 33rd,
80th and 4th Divisions in line and the 3rd Division as corps reserve; the Fifth
Corps fi'om N4alancourt to Vauquois, with the 7Qth, 37th and ^Mst Di\'isions in
line and the 32nd Division in corps reserve; and the First Corps, from Vauquois
to Vienne-le-Chateau, with the 35th, 28th and 77th Divisions in line and the 92nd

///
Di\ ision in corps reser\e. The army rcsei~\'e consisted of the 1st, 29th and 82nd
Di\isions.
On tlie night of September 25th our ti^oops quietly took the place of the
French who think" held the line in this sector, which had long been inacti\"e.
In the attack w hich began on the 2(ith we clro\"e through the barbed wii'C entangle-
ments and the sea of shell craters across No Man's Land, mastei'ing all the first
line defenses. Continuing on the 27th and 28th, against machine guns and artillery
of an increasing number of enemy i'cser\'e divisions, we penetrated to a depth
of from three to seven miles and took the village of Montfaucon and its commanding
hill, and Fxermont, Gercourt, Cuisy, Septsarges, Malancouit, Koii^y, L'pinonville,
Charpcntry, Very and othei' \illages. We had taken 10,000 piisoncrs; we had
gained our point of forcing the battle into the open, and were prepared for the
enemy's reaction which was bound to come, as he had good roads and ample
railroad facilities for bring up his artillei'\' and reser\'es.
In the chill rain of dark nights our engineers had to buiki new roads across
spongy, shell torn areas, repair broken roads beyon^l \o Man's Land, and build
bridges. Our gunners, with no thought of sleep, put their shouklei's to wheels
and drag-ropes to bring their guns through the mire in sui^port of the infantry
now under the increasing fire of the enemy's ai'tillcry. (3ur attack had taken the
enemy by surprise, but, quickly reco\ering himself, he began fierce counter-attacks
in strong force, supported by hea\w' bombardments with large quantities of gas.
From September 28th until October 4th w e maintained the offensi\'e against patches
of woods defended hs snipers and continuous lines of machine guns, and pushed
forward our guns and transport, seeing strategical points in preparation for
further attacks.
Otmer L'nits w ith Allies
Other di\-isions attached to the Allied armies were doing their part, ft
was the fortune of our Second Corps, composed of the 27th and 30th t3i\"isions,
which had remained with the British, to ha\'e a place of honor in co-0|^eration
with the /\ustralian Corps, on September 2'-')th and October 1st, in the assault
upon the Hindenburg line, where the St, Qucntin Canal passes through a tunnel
under a ridge. The 30th Di\'ision speedily broke through the main line of defense
for all its obiecti\"es, while the 27th t^ixision pushed on impetuoush' through the
main line until some of its element reached Guoy, In the midst of the maze of
trenches and shell craters, and under cross-fire from machine guns, the other
elements fought desperateh' against odds. In this and m later actions, from
October t>th to October l^th, our Second Corps captured o\-er b.OOO prisoners
and advanced over 13 miles. The spirit and__ aggressiveness of these divisions
ha\'e been highly praised by the British Army Commander under whom they ser\-ed.

f/ /
On October 2ncl-Qth our 2nd and 36th Divisions were sent to assist the French
in an important attack against the old German positions before Rheims. The
2nd Division conquered the complicated defense works on their front against a
persistent defense worthy of the grimmest period of trench warfare, and attacked
the strongly held wooded hill of Blanc Mont, which they captured in a second
assault, sweeping o\er it with consummate dash and skill. This division then
repulsed strong counter-attacks before the village and cemetery of St. Etienne,
and took the town, forcing the Germans to fall back from before Rheims and
yield positions they had held since September, 1914. On October 9th the 36th
Division relieved the 2nd Division, and, in its first experience under fire, withstood
\"ery se\'ere artillery bombardment, and rapidly took up the pursuit of the enemy
now retiring behind the Aisne.
Melse-Argonxe Offensive — Second Phase
The Allied progress elsewhere cheered the efforts of our men in this crucial
contest as the German command threw in more and more first class troops to
stop our advance. We made steady headway in the almost impenetrable and
strongly held Argonne Forest, for, despite his reinforcements, it was our army
that was doing the driving. Our aircraft was increasing in skill and numbers
and forcing the issue, and our infantry and artillery were improving rapidly with
each new experience. The replacements fresh from home were put into exhausted
divisions with little time for training, but the;>- had the ach'antage of serving
beside men who knew their business and who had almost become veterans oxer-
night. The enemy had taken every advantage of the terrain, which especially
favored the defense, by a prodigal use of machine guns manned by highly trained
\'eterans and by using his artillery at short ranges. In the face of such strong
frontal positions we should have been unable to accomplish any progress according
to previously accepted standards, but I had e\'ery confidence in our aggressi\-e
tactics and the courage of our troops.
On October 4th the attack was renewed all along our fi'ont. The Third
Corps tilting to the left followed the BrieuUes-Cunel road; our Fifth Corps took
Gesnes, while along the irregular \'alley of the Aire Rix'er and in the wooded hills
of the Argonne that border the river, used by the enemy with all his art and
weapons of defense, the First Corps acKanced for o\er two miles. This sort of
fighting continued against an enemy striving to hold e\'ery foot of ground and
whose \ery strong counter-attacks challenged us at e\ery point. On the 7th
the First Corps captured Chatel-Chehery and continued along the river to Cornay.
On the cast of the Meuse sector, one of the two di\isions co-operating with the
French captured Consen\oys and the Haumont Woods. On the 9th the First

Corps, in its progress up the Aire, took Fle\'ille, and the Fifth Corps ad\'anced
in the rolling open country north of Gesnes. The Third Corps, which had con-
tinuous fighting against odds, was working its way through Brieulles and Cunel.
On the 10th we had cleared the Argonne Forest of the enemy. The 1st Di\ision,
operating successively under the First Corps and under the Fifth Corps hetw een
October 4th and October 1 1th. drove a salient into the enemy's territory extending
from the Apremont-Epinonville road to the north of the Cote de Maldah. over
a distance of 7 kilometers, against the most powerful opposition. Positions
embraced in this area wei"e of \'ital importance to the continuation of the general
ad\'ance. Their capture entailed some of the hardest fighting of the campaign.
It was now necessary to constitute a Second Arm>'. and on October 10th, the
immediate command of the First Army was turned o\-er to Lieutenant General
Hunter Liggett. The command of the Second Army, whose divisions occupied a
sector in the Woevre, was given to Lieutenant General Robert L. Bullard. who
had been commander of the 1st Division and then of the Third Coi'ps. Major
General Dickman was transferred to the command of the First Corps, while the
Fifth Corps was placed under Vlajor General Charles P. Summerall. who had
recently commanded the 1st Di\'ision. Major Genei-al John L. Mines, who had
gone rapidly up from regimental to dix'ision commander, was assigned to the
Third Corps. These ofTicei"s had been in France from the early da\'s of the
Expedition and had learned their lesson in the school of pi'actical wai'fare.
Our constant pressure against the enemy brought day by day moi'e prisoners,
m.ostly survivors from machine gun nests captured in fighting at close quai'ters.
On October 18th there was \-ery fierce fighting in the Caures Woods, east of the
N''euse. and in the Ormont Wood. On the 14th the First Corps took St, Ju\'in.
and the Fifth Corps, by hand to hand encounters, entered the formidable Kriem-
hilde line, where the enemy had hoped to check us indefinitely. Later the Fifth
Corps penetrated further the Ki'iemhilde line, and the Idrst Corps took Champ-
igneulles and the important town of Grand Pre, Our dogged oftensi\e was
wearing down the enemy, who continued desperately to thi^ow his best troops
against us. thus weakening his line in front of our Allies and making their acKance
less difficult.
Di\'isiON'S IN Belgium
N'leanw'hilc. we wei'e not only able to continue the battle, hut our 37th and 91st
Di\isions were hastih' withdrawn from our front and dispatched to help the
L^rench Army in Belgium. Detraining in the neighborhood of ^'pres. these
cli\"isions acKanced by rapid stages to the fighting line and were assigned to
adjacent Fi-ench corps. On October 3 1st, in continuation of the Flanders olTensi\'e,

3rd, the 37th L3)i\ision had completed its mission in driving the enemy across the
Hscaut River and firmly established itself along the east bank included in the
division zone of action. By a clever flanking movement, Ii'oojts of the 91st
Di\-ision captin'ed Spitaals Bosschen, a difficult wood extending across the central
part ot the division sector, reached the Scheldt and penetrated into the town of
Audenardc. These di\'isions received high commendation from their corps
commandei'S for theii' dash and enei'gy.
K Iel'se-Argonne Offensi\'e — Last Phase
On the 23rd of Octobei', the Thiixl and Fifth Corps ]^ushed northward to the
le\'el of Banthe\'ille. Fi'om this time until No\ember 1st no attempt was made to
acKance. B\ei'y effort was concentrated on the preparation lor the gi'eat attack
which was soon to be made. E^\'idence of loss of morale by the enemy ga\"e our
men more confidence and more fortittide in endiiiing the latiguc of incessant elfoi't
and the hardsliips fi'om inclement weather.
With comparati\ely well rested divisions the final advance in the Meuse-
Argonne front was begun on Xo\ember 1st. Our increased artiller\' foixe
acquitted itself magnificently in support of the ach'ance, and the enemy broke
befoix' the cletei'minecl infantry, which by its pei'sistcnt fighting of the past weeks
and the dash of its attack had o\"ei'come his will to I'csist. The Third Corps
took Aincreville, Doulcon, and Anclexanne, and the Filth Corps took Lanclres-
et-St. Ceorges and pressed thi'ough successixe lines of resistance to Bayonxillc,
Chennery and to the nc^i'th of the Bois dc Bai'ricotirt, On the 2nd the First
Corps joined in the mo\ement, which now became an impetuous onslaught that
could not be sta\-ed.
On the 3ixl acK'ance troops were hurried foi'waixl in pursuit, some by motor
tiTicks, while the artillei'y pressed along the country roads close behind. The
Fdrst Corps reached Authe and Chatillon-sur-Bar, the Fifth Coi'ps, Fosse and
Kouart, and the Third C^orps, Halles, penetrating the enem\-'s lines to a depth of
twelve miles. Our large caliber guns had adxanced and were skillfulb' brought
into position to fire upon th.e important railroad lines at Montmcdy, Longu>'on
and Conflans. Our Third Corps crossed the Meuse on the 5th, and the other
corps, in full confidence that the clay was theirs, eagerly cleared the way of machine
guns as the\' swept northward, maintaining complete co-ordination throughout.
On the bth a division of the r^rst Corps reached a point on the Kleuse opposite
Sedan, twenty-fi\'e miles from our line of departure, d^he strategical goal which
was our highest hope was gained. We had cut the enem\''s main line of commun-
ications and nothing but surrender or an armistice could sa\'e his army from com-
plete disaster.
-ns-
On the night ot Ncnemhci^ lUth the F'ifth Corps forced a ci'ossing ot the
iX'leuse against heavy enemy resistance between Mouzon and [^ouilly, and acl\aneed
to the Inor-MoLcon roaei w ith two battalions holding the high g|-ound northwest
of Inoi". Farly on the morning of the lltli a detachment of the Fifth Corps
erosseel the Meiise at Stenay and occupied that town in conJLinction with elements
of the 1 hii'd Corps. Bridges were at once constructed at Pouilly and Stenay.
1 hese di\isions wei'e hea\ily engaged up to the moment of the armistice.
In all, foi'ty-four enem\- divisions had been used against us in the Meuse-
Argonne battle, [between September 2t)th and Noxx-mbei' bth we took Id, 050
prisoners and 4b8 ,guns on this fi'ont. Our divisions engaged were the 1st. 2nd,
3rd. 4rd, nh, 2bth, 28th, 2Qth, 32nd, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd, 77th, 78th, 70th,
80th, 81st, 82nd, 80th, 00th and 0|st. iVIany of oui' di\isions I'cmained in line
for a length of time that I'equii'cd nei'\'es of steel, while othei'S were sent in again
after only a few days of rest. The 1st. 5th, 32nLl, 42nd. 77th. 70th antl .SOth
Dixisions were in the line twice. .Mthough some of the tlixisions were lighting
their first battle, they soon became ec|ual to the best.
Operations Easi of i\ie Melse
On the three da>s pi'cecding No\embci' 10th the 4 bird Coi'ps and the 2nd
Colonial and 17th Fi'cnch C^oi'ps fought a diflicult struggle thi'ough the X Icuse
hills south of Stena\' and forccLl the enemy into the plain. Meanwhile m\' plans
for fuither use of the Amciiean forces contemplateel an adxance between the
Xleusc ancl the Moselle in the Llii'ection of Longw y b\' the 1st .'\mi\\ while at the
same time the 2nd Anny should assume the ollensi\c towaixl the I'ich ii'on fiebls
of Bi'iey. These operations weix to be followed by an ollensixe towai'd Chateau-
Salins east of the Moselle, thus isolating Metz. Aecoixlingly. attacks on the
/Vmeriean front had been or^lered, and that of the 2nd Army was in progi'ess on
the morning of No\'ember 11th when instructions were receixed that hostilities
should cease at 1 1 o'clock a. m.
At this moment the line of the Amei4can sector from right to left began at
f^ort-sur-Scille, thence across the Moselle to X'andieres and through the Wozvre
to Bezon\"au.\ in the foothills of the Meuse, thence along the foothills and through
the northern edge of the \Voe\re forests to the Meuse beyond Stenay, thence along
the west bank, crossing the ri\"er one kilometer northwest of Inor, thence along the
eastern edge of the Bois de Hache, west to northern edge of Autre\ille, thence
northwest to Moulins-Mouzon road, along that road to Beilefountaine Fei'me,
thence northwest crossing the Meuse: fi-om there along the west bank of the
Meuse to a point near Sedan, w here we connected w ith the French.

Relations With the Allies
Co-operation among the Allies has at all times been most cordial. A far
greater eflort has been put forth by the allied armies and staffs to assist us than
could have been expected. The French government and army have always
stood ready to furnish us with supplies, equipment and transportation and to
aid us in e\ery way. In the towns and hamlets \\here\er our troops have been
stationed, or billeted, the French people have everywhere received them more as
relatives and intimate friends than as soldiers of a foreign army. For these things
words are quite inadequate to express our gratitude. There can be no doubt
that the relations growing out of our associations here assure a permanent friend-
ship betw een the t\\ o peoples. Although we have not been so intimately associated
with the people of Great Britian, yet their troops and ours when thrown together
have always warmly fraternized. The reception of those of our forces who have
passed through England and of those who ha\e been stationed there has always
been enthusiastic. Altogether it has been deeply impressed upon us that the
ties of language and blood bring the British and ourselves together completely
and inseparably.
Strength
There are in Europe altogether, including a regiment and some sanitary
uints with the Italian army and the organizations at Archangel, also including
those en route from the States, approximately 2,053,347 men. less our losses. Of
this total there are in France 1 ,338, 169 combatant troops. Forty divisions have
arrived, of which the infantry personnel of 10 ha\'e been used as replacements,
leaving 30 divisions now in France, organized into three armies of three corps each.
The losses of the American army up to November 18th are: Killed and died
of wounds, 3b, 154; died of disease, 14,811; deaths unclassified, 2,204; wounded,
179,625; prisoners, 2,163; missing 11,660. We have captured altogether about
44,000 prisoners and 1 ,400 guns, howitzers and trench mortars.
Commendation
The duties of the General Staff, as well as those of the army and corps staffs,
ha\e been very ably performed. Especially is this true when we consider the
new and difficult problems with which they have been confronted. This body
of officers, both as individuals and as an organization, have, I believe, no superiors
in professional abilit\', in efficiency, or in loyalty.
Nothing that we have in Fi'ance better ref"Iects the efficiency and devotion
to duty of Americans in genci'al than the Services of Supply, w-hose personnel is
thoroughly imbued with a patriotic desire to do its full duty. They ha\"e at all
—140 —
^^ '
times fully appreciated their responsibility to the rest of the army, and the results
produced ha\'e been most gratifying.
Our Medical Corps is especially entitled to praise for the general effectiveness
of its work, both in hospitals and at the front. Embracing men of high professional
attainments, and splendid women deNoteel to their calling and untiring in theii"
efforts, this department has made a new record for medical and sanitary proficiency.
The Quartermaster Depaitment has had a difficult and varied task, but it
has more than met all demands that ha\e been made upon it. Its management
and its personnel ha\-e been exceptionally efficient and deser\-e e\'ery possible
commendation.
As to the more technical services, the able personnel of the Ordnance
Department in France has spendidly fulfilled its functions both in procurement
and in forwarding the immense ciuantities of ordnance required. The officers
and men and the young women of the Signal Corps ha\'c perfonnecl their duties
with a large conception of the problem and with a de\'oted and patriotic spirit
to which the perfection of our communication daily testifies. While the Engineei"
Corps has been refei'recl to in another part of this report is should be further stated
that their work has recfuired large vision and high professional skill, and great
credit is due their personnel for the high efliciency that they ha\ e constantly
maintained.
Our a\iators ha\'e no equals in daring or in fighting ability, and ha\'e left a
record of courageous deeds that w ill e\"cr remain a bi'illiant page in the annals of
our army. While the Tank Corps has had limited oppoitunity its personnel
has responded gallantly on e\ery possible occasion and has shown courage of
the highest order.
The Adjutant General's Department has been directed with a systematic
thoroughness and excellence that surpasses any prexious work of its kind. The
Inspector Genei'al's Department has risen to the highest standards, and throughout
has ably assisted commandei's in the enforcement of discipline. The able personnel
of the Judge Advocate General's Department has sohed. with judgment and
wisdom, the multitude of difljcult legal problems, many of them in\ohing questions
of great international importance.
It would be impossible in this brief preliminary report to do justice to the
personnel of all the dilfei'cnt branches of this organization, which I shall co\'er
in detail in a later report.
The Na\'y in Eui'opean waters has at all times most cordially aided the
Army, and it is most gratifying to report that there has ne\-er before been such
perfect co-operation betw'een these two branches of the ser\ice.
As to Americans in Europe not in the military ser\"iccs, it is the greatest
/ /
<
/
pleasure to say that, both in olTicial and in pri\'ate life, they arc intensely patriotic
and loyal, and ha\e been in\ariabl>' sympathetic and helpful to the Army.
Finally. 1 pay th.e supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line.
When 1 think of their heroism, their patience under hardship, their unflinching
spirit of ollcnsi\e action, 1 am filled with emotion which I am unable to express.
Their deeds arc immortal and the\- ba\e earned the eternal gratitude of our
counti'v.
I am, Mr. Seci-etarA',
Very respectfully.
JOHN J. PERSHING,
General, Car.mander in Chief,
American Expeditionary Forces.
Regimental Society
Before we left Germany a meeting was held by representatives from
each of the organizations in the regiment tor the purpose of ascertaining the
desire of the personnel thereof in regard to the organization of a society, for
the purpose of perpetuating the good-fellowship which has always existed in
the regiment, and to provide a center and means whereby records may be kept
of all members of the regiment, and to arrange periodic meetings or gatherings
to renew old acquaintances. It was the unanimous decision of the committee
that such an organization should be established.
While at Gamp Pontanezen, Brest, France, on August 14, 1*518, another
meeting was called for the purpose of establishing a regimental society. Each
organization of the regiment was I'epi'cscnted ; a constitution and by-laws
were presented and adopted by unanimous \'ote. The following oflicers were
elected to hold office until January 1 , 1920:
Golonel Robert Davis, President.
Major John P. Swift, Vice-President.
Gaptain Hai'ry E. Randel. Secretary and Treasurer.
First Lieutenant Robert L. Schultz. Historian.
Sergcc nt-Major Glement A, Bowie, Senior Member
of the Executi\'e Gommittee.
First Sergeant John R. Garney, Junior Member of
the Executive Gommittee.
Headquarters of the society to be at Kansas Gity, Missouri, during the
