CHAPTER v.

Not far from Sommepy. the French
rear guard stopped again. Four bat
teries Of our artillery were brought
Into position and our company. along
with machine guns, were ordered to
protect the artillery. The artillery Of
fcers did not think this SUFFICIENT pro-
lection because the airplanes had dis
covered the presence Of strong French
cavalry detachments and cavalry at
tack was suspected. However, q
stronger guard could not be provided
and there was nothing to be done but
take our position and make the best
Of the situation. We dug ourselves in
to the right and left Of the batteries
In q field Of small pine trees. The ma
chine guns were set up and supplied
with ammunition. We were then given
instructions ~ to what to do In the
event OF q cavalry attack. An old
major Of infantry, with white hair,
took command. Our unit was placed
with the infantry. but our brave" Of
6cers disappeared suddenly. To them
the defense Of the fatherland was the
business Of q private. Since we had
bsen assigned to assist infantry. our
officers considered themselves super
duous and took French leave.
Our instructions were as follows: In
the event Of 4 cavalry attack, every
thing must be quiet. The gun must
be pointed but hidden. The machine
gun must not be fred until the major
In command gives the order. Then
there must be lively, quick IRE. Our

units are attached to infantry or chas-

In a battle. This was the case with
our officers during my whole war ca

the gunfire In comfortable security
This is also the case with many In

told, and several times observed this
myself.
But the expected attack did not
come. the enemy's infantry was not to
Be seen. We prepared to resume our
march and were all ready to move
when the order came to bivouac. The
spot where we were to rest was as
usual fixed by the star 20 that they

The dead bodies were seized by two
men, one at the head and the other at
the feet, and thrown into the ditch.
Corpses were handled exactly as was
q board to be used In building bridge.
Legs and arms were tossed likewise
into the ditch. Dead horses and dam
aged batteries had to be removed. We
were not strong enough to remove dead
horses. We managed to capture horse
which was running wild and hitched
him to the carcasses. Corpses hanging
in the trees were left there. No one
cared anything about them.
Canteens and knapsacks Of the dead
were searched for food and drink and
whatever we found was eaten with the
greatest relish.
French soldiers who had died Of
sunstroke covered the road. Others
erawled to right and left Of the road
and waited there for relief or death.
We did not dare to help them. The
order was to advance and we had TO
march on and on. The captain told us
we had to pursue the fleeing enemy
with all our strength and much dis
content was manifest on receipt Of this
order.
After being on our feet day and
night, staying like barbarians, taking
NO time to eat or rest. we continued to
receive commands to maintain the pur-
suit with all haste. The captain un-
derstood how we felt and tried to
pacify NJ by friendly conversation.
