talon rescued on Monday evening
after having been surrounded by an
enemy force for more than four
days N the ATgonne forest, are now
recovering from their narrowing

The men had subsisted partly on
oak leaves and many units were so
depleted by minor injuries and
weakness that wounded men had to
take turn at guard duty Yet they
cheered as they drove back the
German forces which were all
around them.
When they reached the American

experiences. Major WhittIesey was

talk of themselves, but told of a
second lieutenant who came out
with IS machine gun bullet holes
in his clothes, but without scratch.
He had one bruise from a bullet
which had killed a man behind him.
A machine gun fired at this lieuten-
ant from a distance of 80 feet and
the lieutenant's gas mask was cut
away, but the officer was uninjured.
1t was just after midnight when
the news first reached the weary
but determined men that help was
coming. The resCuers rushed on
through the German lines. breaking
one enemy defense after another
and at last completed the rescue.
While fresh troops drove the Ger
mans in wild flight from the scene
of their anticipated triumph. the
tired heroes of the battalion began
to filter back to their bases. Many
of the men were suffering from a
variety of wounds, but mOstef these
injuries were not serious. They
were so exhausted and so nearly
starved that they could scarcely
eat when they were served with
beef stew and coffee. AS the day
advanced. however, they improved
considerably in vitality
