acts committed, but that one was
enough" continued Murphy. 1--WE

after having been transferred from
the old Fifth Nebraska at Camp

Private Murphy saw about six
months Of active service in France.
He took part in the second battle of
the Marine, in the fighting at Cha
teau Thierry, in the St. Mihiel en-
gagement and in the Argonne forest
drive. According to Mr.. Murphy
the severest fighting took place in
the Argonne forest.
Argonne Drive Was Hell.
1.-THE St. Mihiel engagement was
just a walk-away for the Americans,
but the Argonne forest drive was
hell" he said.
1t was in the fighting about the
Argonne forest that Private Muir
ply was wounded. One machine
gun bullet ploughed its way through
his cheek, while another struck him
in the neck, partially paralyzing
him. Stretcher-bearers picked him
up Immediately and took him to a
dressing station. From here he was
taken to an excavation hospital near
General Pershing's headquarters.
Finally he was transferred to the
American base hospital, No. 3, at
Monpont, France.
Private Murphy told of a raiding
party of which he had been a mem
Der. The order had come to take
an enemy trench, which had been
giving the Americans much trouble.
About 8 o'clock that morning the
raiding party stole cautiously across
No Mans land. They reached their
objective safely, but on charging
the trench they found only one lone
German in possession of it. He was
sending up flares as fast as he could
in an effort to trick the Americans
into thinking the trench still in
habited.
Cited for Bravery.
