Shaw, thev were ordered to clear the Jaip::
While under intense fire of artillery and
, machine guns, they coolly dsmounted the
gun remounted il and continued hrlng
until ordered to cease. The fire ol TINS
machine gun section was doubtless wholly
unexpected by the enemy, and tins TACT,
coupled with the effective fire laid down,
was chiefly instrumental in causing the
withdrawal of the enemy.
GREAT INDIVIDUAL BRAVERY.
There were instances of individual
bravery during the action. Private
Howard Gaillard with small rapid-hre
piece was unable from his position to get
a good fire To bear upon the advancing
enemy groups, so he coolly and with entire
disregard of danger, mounted the parapet,
and while enemy bullets were lying
around him, fired his rapid-fre piece from
the hip, first at one group and then at the
other
Prvates Smithfcld Jones and George
Woods are especially mentioned for their
GOODNESS in the face of violent shelllng,
when they dsmounted the machine guns
and then reassembled them and contin-
ucd firing until the close of the action.
Lieutenant X. G. Crane was IN com
mand of the group which received the
brunt of the enemy fire which, besides the
barrage, added n heavy fire OF large
mnenwerfers. There was no fhnchlng;
the group always worked under perfect
control, Keeping all combat posts manned
though three men were knocked down by
the explosion of shells.
Others commended for courage IN tho
face of fire are Corporal Frank Harden,
Private II. d. Brown, Corporal Bean,
Sergeant G.. A. Morton and Private Sand
crS.
From the elaborate artillery prepara-
tion. the size of the box barrage and the
extensive front occupied. the coup de
main attempted by the enemy was clearly
intended To be On rather extensive scale.
ENEMY BEATEN BACK.
Whatever may have been the object
Of the attack 1t was successfully frustrat-
cd No enemy party succeeded IN getting
within assaulting distance or any part OF
the line except at one point and here they
were quickly pressed back and then driven
off The shcll-torn condition of the ground
tells of the fierceness of the action. That
the enemy suffered considerably In casual
ties is not doubted, as some of their
groups pushed close into the machine
gun fire, but as their men fell they were
carried of. The casualties on our side
were small and none Of them serious.
The chief Importance of the action was
in bringing this American unit for the
first time under fire and demonstrating
the stcadiness and fighting ability of the
men.
