YANKEES TAKING
PART IN BATTLE
Capt. Nicodemus Says Action
Has Been Continuous
Since July

Harrisburg boys have been fight
ing without much relief and fighting
devilishly hard ever since the storm
ing of Chateau Thierry during early
July" So said Captain e. A. Nico-
demus, recently returned from
France where he was in the Quar-
termaster's Department with the
Twenty-eighth Division, Familiarity
known as the Keystone Division. at
the Pennsylvania Railroad station
yesterday before leaving for Wash
ington.
Captain Nicodemus has been de-
tached from his former unit and this
morning he went to Washington to
report TO the Quartermaster General
for assignment to some divisional
quartermastor's staff. He has no in
timation as to what unit or to what
camp or cantonment he will be as
signed.
Captain Nicodemus, a physician of
this city at the time war was declar-
ed, left for overseas duty in April,
and had been visiting at the home of
his sister, Miss Luella Nicodemus,
2017 North Fifth street. He has been
in the military service within one
month of twenty-six years. On his
return to this country from the fight
ing front he had thrilling expert
ences on the Mt. Vernon, torpedoed
by a German submarine.
"Most of the Harrisburg boys are
in the 111th and 112th Regiments
of Infantry. making up the Fifty
sixth Brigade. This brigade" Cap
tain Nicodemus says, has not seen
as much front line service as nave
the men of the Fifty-fifth Brigade,
including the 109th and 10th Regi-
ments. but it cannot be said that the
work they have been performing is
any the less important and requires
any the smaller degree of courage
than that being performed by the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-09-26

mon of the i09th and 110th.
while they have seen some
front line service. they have been
doing much work on the second line,
important work, and have been
guarding against flank attacks, and
in this capacity they have done real
ly hard work.
THE Harrisburgers together with
all Pennsylvanians have been ac-
quitting themselves honorably. That
their work has been we'll done is the
least that can be said for them. To
mention particular deeds of any one
of the Harrisburg lads would be
unfair to the others; all of them are
performing valorously."
