II was while we were in the trenches

Rheims was threatened and the
Eoches plunged steadily on toward
Amiens. across the Somme through
Peronne and down to Montdidler. 1t
was almost more than flesh and blood
could stand to lie there in our dugouts
and learn what was going on to the
northwest. Every man OF us knew all
about 1t. for we picked up the German
and French communicates by wireless.
Naturally we began to grow restless
Why could We take no part in this
crucial action? Why weren't the
American Marines called upon to help
stem the fiery tide that seemed to be
sweeping so irresistibly onward? We
learned that the First Division had
been sent in at Cantigny, and this did
not add to our contentment. For a
month we looked for orders to move
but none came.
