 "A clever gentleman wrote a TO- nance called America, the Melting Pot It appealed to our vanity, and through all these years we have been seeing romance instead of fact. That is the awful truth.

GAILANTRY In BATTLE OF CAROLINA
NEGROES DESCRIBED BY CAPTAIN

gade was relieving the first the valley
we were in was filed with gas and l
was gassed at the time but did not
think much of it and did not even go
to the doctor.
ION Sunday morning my company
went over the hill. We arrived at
the position the attack was to start
from at 1880, after having had a
deadly artillery barrage on us over
the hill. At 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing we were ordered to advance up
the valley, but in the meantime an
enemy plane flew down low, discover
ed our position and signalled his ar
tillery, which opened on us, and every
minute seemed to be the last one.
However, by rife fire we brought
the plane down, killing the pilot and
observer. This Smelling continued
until the time for our advance at lO
O'Clock, and when we got started it
grew in intensity until when we ad-
vanced fifty yards it was a regular
barrage. About 200 yards up the
valley We came under the direct fire
of the enemy's machine gun and rifle
fire and by this time five enemy
planes were flying over u.s., shooting
round after round from their machine
guns on us. Of course, we were in an
unsheltered valley, with nothing to
hide us from the enemy and presented
a clean, clear and open target. Men
were falling all around me, but the
company never once faltered. They
marched right on into the jaws of
death. Shells we're dropping, it SEEM
ed to me, every second, making holes
big enough to place a good7sized barn
in. Remember now, the enemy was
hiding behind bushes, trees and
houses in a little village we were ad-
vancing on and we had absolutely
no target to shoot at.
Long before we reached the viii
lage we could see the towards run
ming up a steep hill beyond, leaving
lots of machine guns to stick out,
and, believe me, when we reached
our objective and rounded up the
| machine gunners the negroes made
quick work of them. They held up
their hands, but no kamarad for the
men; they killed them unhesitating-
ly and l did not try to stop them.
"'The town was on a railroad and
about the time we thought the vic
! tory was won and we could get a
few minutes rest before going on,
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-11-07

the artillery opened on us again and
I saw one shell kill two of my men
and seriously wound three others
who were sitting behind a rock pile.
Then we discovered that we were
1anked on three sides by machine
gun nests. We could not stick our
heads up.
1--WE remained at this railroad sta
ton all night in the rain and n
ed by those machine gun nests.
Lieut.. Rauren of l Company, was
killed here and Tom Lake, whose
company in the meantime had come
into the valley, was killed by a high
explosive shell. That night the enc
nv threw large numbers of gas shells
into the place and I was again gass-
ed. The next morning, with half
of my company gone, most of them
wounded, however, we got orders to
move up the railroad track ahead.
We went right into the machine gun
nests, the operators of whom, when
they saw u determination, left
their guns and ran, and we had lots
of fun picking them off. The fun
did not last long, though, because al
soon as the few Germans who were
left got out of reach here came an
other artillery barrage, worse than
the one before, and as soon as we got
in the open the machine guns opened
I'D again. I believe every man in the
German army carries a machine gun.
We went ahead and captured six
big German guns (artillery). We
reached the crest of another hill ana
were there held up. 1 had to crawl
on my stomach 800 yards just like a
snake. Every time I raised my body
to make a move, zip, zip went the
machine gun bullets. When we reach
ed the hill things died down a little
and I was by this time completely
exhausted. Our battalion was being
relieved and four of my men carried
me in.
"In all, during the two days, Sun
day and Monday, our battalion ad-
vanced about five miles without the
aid of a single friendly artillery shot
or any other help. W. killed lots
of Germans, captured lots of material
and the six big guns.
81 am proud of all my officers and
of all my men. The whole regiment
fought like veterans and with a
f~erceness equal to any white regi-
ment. This was the first time any
of them had been under aimed shell
and machine gun fire and they stood
it like m~oss-covered oldtinlers. They
never finched or showed the Least
sign of fear. All that was necessary
was to tell them to go and they went.
Lots we're killed and wounded, but
| they will go down in history as brave

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 26.-How the
negroes of North and South Carolina
fight is described in a letter from
Capt. w. r. Richey, of Laurens, to
Mrs. Richey. Captain Richey, who
commands a company in the Three
Hundred and Se~venty-frst regiment,
was a member of the South Carolina
general assembly when he entered the
service and was one of the best known
attorneys in the Piedmont. The
Three Hundred and Seventy-frst regi-
ment is composed Of negroes, most OF
them coming from North and\ South
Carolina, Lieutenant Thomas D.
Lake, Jr., of Laurens, who was killed
in action, was in command of a com
pany of the regiment. In his letter
Captain Richey tells in detail of the
capture of Argonne forest and the
part the Carolina negroes played.
"We were just behind the front
lines about two and one-third miles,
when at 1880 o'clock on the night
of September Is, the bombardment
began" he writes. "Of course we all
knew it was coming but did not know
the exact hour. I was at the time
trying to catch a little much needed
sleep but after the big guns started
roaring there was no chance to sleep.
The b~ombardment continued during
the entire night and with the excep-
ton of a few intermittent pauses it
has continued since, or until the time
l passed out of hearing distance on
my way to the hospital.
con the afternoon of October rs
we received word to move forward.
We slept that night in a French COM
municating trench. I say slept but
really there was no sleep as it was
raining and the noise from the guns
would not let one sleep. The French
had gone over the top and were pur-
suing the Huns. The night of the
9th we went into the fighting zone
and our regiment relieved a French
regiment to continue the pursuit.
The First Battalion went went in first
on the morning of the 28th and met
stout resistance. The wounded pass
ed us all day going back to the dress
ing stations. In the meantime our
battalion lying in support had been
discovered by enemy observers and
shells began to drop on US anew, the
enemy having thrown shells on us
the whole of the night before. In
the night of the 28th while u br1-

CAPTAIN Richey concludes his letter
with the statement that his W fate
is uncertain as he does not Know
what effect the gas will have on him
and he cannot tell if he will be able
to return to the line when he leaves
the hospital, where the letter was
written.
