From there on it was a case OK
move on until we could hear the
whistle Of a shell and then flop. You
can imagine what we looked like, but
we We're not on dress parade. we
req ched our objective and estab-
lished our line about three o'clock and
fortunately no one had been shot up
We were told to dig in for the re-
mainder of the night and get a little
sleep. There was little sleep to be
had. but we Were glad Of the chance
to rest. The next day cleared and We
began 10 get dried out. That day was
the climax of our hardShipS. Al
though we continued the drive until
we reached Eancourt things seemed
to work better for US and We felt like
new men to see the sun out again
We found Rancourt to be quite Il fine
city. We stopped there for Il day to
get rested up and our division estab-
lished its headquarters there. The
people there We're as oNerjoyed to see
us as they were in other places. In
coming into the city we passed many
natives returning with all they pos
sessed. usually an old man and wom-
an with push cart filled with their
personal property. We also passed
many Belgians returning home. Our
medical corps found many cases
among the natives that had to have
attention, one aged couple was
brought in with Shrapnel wounds
froll a German shell.
A Great Experience

The Turning Point
When the Germans started the hig

s. p them, except the indomitablt
French courage. The real turning
point came on July Is. when the
Americans came across with thcl
victory ut the Marine. If the Ger

date they would have gone clear t.

nearly over now and France certain
