Nov. Ma jor-Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn in
general orders 10 the Seventy-ninth Di-
vision. trained at Camp Meade, Mary
land, and composed of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virginia troops.
says:
During the recent fighting the Sew
enty-nlnth Division received its first
baptism of fire In the Montsaucon sec
tor. The commanding General takes
this means OF expressing to his command
his satisfa ction and qualification for
the courage, fortitude and tenacity dis
played by all the troops. especially the
infantry, which. though frequently sub
jected to heavy machine gun and artil-
lery fire, not only held all the ground
conquered, but gallantly strove to ad-
vance whenever called upon to do so.
He feels confident the Seventy-ninth
Division will not fail to maintain its
excellent record and that the expert
ence gained in the recent fighting Will
ing the enemy"
At the request OF Major-Gen. Kuhn
the foregoing order was sent by Lieut.
Col. James Hale Steinman OF Lancas-
ter. Pa. to each company, where 1t was
read TO its members. Roughly estimated
this division alone In three days and
nights OF continuous fcf-sng restored
twenty-three square kif,Aeters (S.Bs
square miles) OF terrain to France. This
area incorporates the towns of Malan-
court, Montfaucon and Nantillois and
several thick miniature forests with
deep ravines intervening.
Montfaucon perches like an eagles
nest atop a hill 1900 feet above sea
level. The swarth cut northward by the
division ls approximately one and one
half miles wide and six miles deep,
bursting first across the shell pitted
German trench system and frightfully
muddy swamp, then passing over a
knolly and wooded terrain with coun,
less swlrls and folds In the ground.
Every inch of its progress was made
difficult by successive groups of machine
gun nests, concrete pill boxes and strong
points OF wire netting and by the steady
hail OF enemy shells.
Montfaucon heights and the ruins OF
the town were taken by the 313th Infan.
try from Maryland under Col. Claude r.
Sweeney, once commended for his cool
ness and resourcefuness. Major Ben
jamin Franklin Pepper Of Philadelphia
was killed by sniper's bullet while
bravely leading the first wave In an at
tack southwest Of Moutfaucon on SEN
tember e6. He Is buried at Brabapt.
and his grave Is marked by the Amerl-
can flag and a wreath of flowers.
