1T was a merry scrap and we'll worth
having said he. 1--WE had been ex-

leave. For time our platoon was
nearly surrounded. 1t was hot work.
The Dutch were behind us and in front
of US.
"But it was not for us to back up.
We knew what our rifles were for and
we used them to beat off the Dutch.
Our cartain was a gallant officer and
he died like real fighting man"
The Green Bay lad was beside the
captain when he fell and told of his
last order. Then the Chicago men
chimed in. relating why they thought
the raid was coming.
There was APPARENTLY an advance

Right before the attack" said one. "We
could hear the band playing back of
the German lines, and they were noisy
all night long. Our patrols heard the
enemy shout Come on over, Ameri-

there was a hot reception awaiting the
