HERO OF MEUSE-
ARGONNE VISITS
NEWARK FRIENDS
Lieutenant Ralph Dawson
Tells of War Ex-
periences

Lieutenant Ralph Dawson who
arrived in this country June 6,
after 16 months Of service over
seas with the 82nd or All-Ameri-
cnn Division, stopped off here for
a few days enroute to his home in
Jacksonville, Florida.
Lieutenant Dawson is son of
DR.. Charles F. Dawson who until
about eight years ago was one of
the faculty at Delaware College.
At the outbreak of the war he en-
tered the service and received his
training at Fort Mcpherson. In
February, 1918, he was sent over
seas with Company A, 325th In
fantry and saw service in minor
operations last summer In Au-
gust he was gassed and as a re-
suit was in hospital for one and
half months.
He participated in the St. Mi
hiel engagement and in the
Meuse-Argonne drive. Here the
H82nd was in the thick of the fight
ing for 26 consecutive days-long-
err than any division participat-
ing. Their casualties were not es-
pecially heavy a fact which 1t.
Dawson attributes to the soft con-
dition of the ground which allowed
the shells to penetrate the earth
and explode with little force. He
escaped without a scratch. The
most remarkable feature of this
engagement, he said, was an at
tack on the town Of Cornay, a
small village situated on a high
bluff near Grand Pre-, which was
attacked seven times in one day,
| the Germans and Americans en-
gaging in hand to hand conflict.
Lieutenant Dawson had the
unique privilege of seeing Cor
poral York of Company G, 328th
Infantry after he had performed
near Cornay, the heroic feat of
killing 20 Germans, capturing 1872
prisoners including major and
three lieutenants, putting 35
machine guns out of business and
thereby breaking up an entire bat
talon which was about to counter
attack against the Americans on
Hill 223 in the Argonne sector
near Chatel-Chehery. For this feat
York was made a sergeant, decor
ated with the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross, recommended for the
Congressional Medal of Honor,
and commended publicly in front
! of all the officers of the Sind
Division.
In reply to a question as to the
outstanding experience in his mill
tary career overseas, he replied
without moments hesitation that
his discharge from the army far
transcribed anything that he had
experienced. He did not like
France and states that, in the
language of the public sale poster
the reasons are "too numerous to
mention"
He saw Lieutenant George
Harvey Ferguson during the st.
Mehiel drive and again about a
month ago near Lyon. He was in
the best Of health and spirits and
is looking remarkably we'll. Lieu
tenant Dawson expects to leave to-
day for his home in Florida where
he says, he intends to engage in
