Silent Tributes to Americans Who
Are Buried in France.

By their helmets you shall know
their graves.
It's the case over the battlefield
that streches north from the Marne
over rolling hills covered with grain
fields and woods.
AS the German forces retired they left
many dead behind. American troops
following buried these Germans
where they fell at the first opportun-
ity. Usually the graves are marked
with nothing but a German helmet on
the fresh mound of earth.
Sometimes stick is erected, or a
cross, depending on the intensity of
artillery fire in the region, and the
time at the disposal of the "moppers
up" Sometimes the German helmet
is on top of the cross. Once on the
grave, the helmets are untouched.
The American dead were buried in
groups farther back when possible.
Sometimes this couldn't be done
Then silent group of doughboys
buried their fallen by the roadside.
These, too, are recognized by the
helmets on the fresh earth mounds,
with crosses at the head. and usually
a bottle stuck in the earth into which
data regarding the fallen fighter was
hastily scribbled and placed by his
comrades. Some day it can be
gathered and information forwarded
to his folks.
