Facing the Hun

"Argonne,' says Ward Greene, who
has followed the S2d through every
move it made in the war, will go down
in history as one of the bloodiest fought
by Americans in any war and which,
had it not been for the SD Division,
might never have been the momentous
victory it was for the Yanks Without
boasting, without claiming undue credit
for the division, it is an authenticated
fact that it was it's big flank push on
October Z, when the American drive
had come to a standstill, that caved in
the German lines and made it possible
for the Yanks to sweep the enemy back
to the banks of the Meuse
incidentally, it was this attack
which liberated the famous "Lost Bat
talon" of the 77th Division, the story
of which has been told at least dozen
times without any mention by name of
the 3d.

Major General George B. Duncan

TALON of the 32Sth relieved the second
battalion in NoToy, and the advance
was renewed. With the Goth Division
pressing forward the third battalion of
the 32Sth, with Company C Of the 321st
Machine Gun Battalion in support, made
a daylight sortie to protect the 9Oth's
flank.
This was one Of the most gallant of
the S2d's efforts in the fight The ground
over which they now advanced sloped off
to level valley, in which lay the town
OF Wanderers. Across this glaringly open
country the enemy artillery had full
sweep of the battalon's flank
So, with big shells bursting in their
ranks, and the men falling on all sides
like pins in bowling alley, these gallant
troopers swept down the long hill and
into Wanderers, driving the enemy be-
fore them and occupying the high
ground to the north of the village.
There was hand to hand fighting here,
bravery to make the heart leap and the
blood quicken. With the Germans still
shelling the town with all the guns they
could bring to bear, the battalion dog
gedly held its ground until nightfall
when, its ranks frightfully decimated, it
was relieved by the first battalion, Major
Boyle commanding, which continued to
hold the line, still under bombardment,
until on the morning of the 18th of
IA i
battalion from the Goth Division, where
upon what was left of the 328th re-
turned to the SD Division.
For its work at st. Mihiel the division,
aside from Che congratulatorv orders
already referred to, was honored
through the citation Of the battalions
which took Wanderers, and a division
citation was also given Lieutenant
Colonel Emory j. Pike, division ma
chine gun officer, who especially dis
tinguished himself in handling the ma
chine guns in the Wanderers affair.
Colonel Pike was struck by piece of
flying shrapnel in that advance and
later died of his wounds.
Likewise, the artillery Of the sgd
was first seen in action in this engage :
ment and was awarded honors for it's
splendid work.

Mans Land and then charged, killing as
they advanced. The Hun line was
pierced for distance of six hundred
metres and the expedition was completely
successful Hand hand combats, bay
onet fights and the blasting of the enemy
from his position with hand grenades
made the raid one of the most pictu-
rescue and spectacular Of the brushes
which had occurred in that cOmpara-
lively quiet sector. One entire platoon
of Germans was wiped out three ma
chine guns captured, and quantity Of
supplies and equipment carried back to
the American lines, which fully iden-
titled the unit.
For the brilliancy and gallantry of
the raid the troops participating were
cited in division orders.
A period of comparative inactivity
followed, while all hands made ready for
the launching of the all-American often
sive at St. Mihiel. The division now
went into the Marbache sector, which,
astride the beautiful valley of the Mo-
selle offered opportunity for rest and
training for the big work ahead 1t was
here that the 157th Artillery Brigade,
which up to now had been separated
from the division, rejoined its old
friends.
Battle and death came even in this
sector of rest, however. Just inside the
divisions front line lay the city of Pont-
a-Mousson. On clear days the formida-
BILE fortress Of Metz could be seen,
twelve miles away. Lorraine vineyards
stretched out across the horizon. But
German aeroplanes constantly lowered
overhead, bombing the trenches inter
mittently, and from the American
trenches were launched from time to
time brilliant raids like those which had
characterized the stay in the Lagney
sector. In one of these raids Captain
William Sirmon of the 325th earned the
Distinguished Service Order by gallant
ly rescuing a eomrade who had been
wounded.

"Our appearance already had been
heralded in the morning papers, and
crowds had gathered early to see the

broke ranks. Here we were in the
home of the Scots and Coldstream

Our band led the column, but each bat
talon was also given a British band,

This, it will be remembered, was the
first appearance in London streets of an
organized body of American soldiers
since the United States had cast in it's lot
with the harried Allies of Europe. Great
was the JOY thereat, and the occasion
one upon which the future historian may

The 82d Division took form and shape
at Camp Gordon, Ca, in the early days
of Americas participation in the war. By
March, 1918, it had "found its footing"
War Department inspection declared it
fit for the battlefront, and April found
it on the move.
No cheering crowds or brayng brass
bands marked its departure from Cor

less grinding of the fates, its perfectly
adjusted units filed down the trail for

'Great crowds lined the streets and
we had a continuous ovation. We

past the American Embassy, where our
platoon of the Headquarters Troop

There was a temporary halt just be-
fore Buckingham Palace was reached.
Then, as the Guards Band burst into
the strains of "God Save the King
his majesty emerged from the palace
gate and advanced to the curb. where
he reviewed the regiment on foot as 1t

Beatrice and the Duke Of Connaught
At the invitation Of the King, Colonel
Whitman dismounted after the head Of
the line had passed, and stood with the
royal party during the review AS the
line swung along, King George, paying
high compliment to the appearance OF
the Americans, asked wonderingly:
care there many more like these men
in the United States?"
'And are they eager to get into the
fray?" added Queen Mary.
"History," says Colonel Whitman,
closing his narrative of that first day of
the 82d on European soil, "has answered
both questions"
While the boys of the 82d took their
final training, their officers in squads
were escorted forward to the British
trenches around Albert and Amiens, and
given first hand instruction in the tech
nioue and meaning of modern warfare.
1t was the hope and the expectation
then that the division be brigaded with
the British in the then impending drive
to regain the lost ground in Plcardy.
The hone did not bear fruit. May 2d

French nor with the British, either,

men who were pouring into Europe from
every section Of the United States would

would fight as national unit under
