all through the engagement. When
the German shells were going through
the air the Americans were in the dis

One New York Sammie was knocked
from "a ration wagon by a direct hit.
His wagon was demolished. His muled
were hurt and he was sent spinning.
AS soon as the New Yorker was sure
that he did not have any wounds him

calmly shooed them back to head
quarters.
