Selecting a second lieutenant, two SER
geants, a corporal and four men he
led them on hands and knees through
the long grass to the spot where he
knew there was a breach in the de-
lenses. They reached their objective
point without the Germans learning OF
their approach.
Abruptly three of the French ofic-
ers leaped into the works, shouting IN
steptorian tones:
Forward with the bayonet."
The other six daring Frenchmen re-
NAMED behind ready to retreat II the
attempt failed. But the Germans, TAX
en- unawares. had no time to get their
weapons and surrendered almost with
out show Of fight When one OF their
number fell, shot by revolver fred
point blank by the commanding ofic-
er. the Germans, l13 in all, came out
of their shelters and threw up their
hands.
