FIRST LOCAL BOY TO
ARRIVE FROM FRANCE
Private George Trautwein. Victim of
Hun Gas, Visits Annapolis
Relatives

When Private George S. Trautwein.
54th Motor Supply Train, and son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph r. Trautwein,
of this city. stepped of the w. B. & A.
car a little before s o'clock Monday
afternoon. an even. of real historic
interest locally took place. for he was
the first of our Annapolis enlisted men
who served with our land forces in
France and saw active duty, to return
to his home town. On his righ, arm
he bore the gold foreign service in
sigma. and a like bar on his left arm
told that he had been in an actual en-
gagement.
This engagement W the desperate
fighting in Belleau Woods and around
Chateau-T -Thierry, when the onrush of
the Hun hordes threatened, as dag
ger, the very heart of France, and
splendid Americas land soldiers and
marines, not only brought it to a
stop, but turned their victorious
armies into a beaten and retreating
foe
The work of the supply men in that
never to be forgotten figh. has al
ready been told, and in the orders OF
the commanding general they have
been handed down TO posterity, for
General Pershing said officially that
the splendid work of this unit made
the successes of the direct fighting
men possible.
George Trautwein was doing his
part throughout those great days in
the early part of March, and towards
the close of that particular phase OF
the fighting, he was wi hin the zone
of explosion of a shell filled with the
Boche's poison gas, and was serious
ly affected. ut happened late at
night" Trautwein said yesterday, land
it was not until the next afternoon
that | became conscious" He was
taken to base hospital, and later
sent to this country, landing in New
York. Then he was sent 20 the hos
pital in Washington. and Monday was
allowed IL hours to visit his parents
here. He left late Monday evening on
his return trip to Washington.
Private Trautwein looks to be in
fine health, but he has not yet gotten
over the effects of his gassing. His
stomach seems to be affec ed, and has
given him much trouble. He expects
to be sent TO some point in the west
in order to recuperate. 1t is needless
to say, that his visi. gave unspeakable
happiness to his loved ones and
friends here, and was the forerunner
of many such happy reunions.
