That the Thirty-third division,
composed entirely of old Illinois
national guard units, was the first
American division to cross the
Mouse in the Argonne in the final
struggle there last fall. is the as
sertion of Captain Neil Kerr of
Pontiac. Ill, member of the One
Hundred Twenty-ninth, formerly
the old Third Illinois, just home.
Captain Kerr said that the Hi
nois men were at the apex of the
drive against the Germans on the
Meuse. The heavy casualties they
suffered resulted from the attack
at Consenvoye. where they had 20
go into the bend of the river. ex-
posed to an enfilading fire. But
they went across the river on a
bridge laid down by the One Hun
dred Eighth engineers. also re-
cruited largely from Illinois. The
crossing of the Meuse was an Ill
nois victory.
The old third suffered so per cent
casualties in the Argonne. Captain
Kerr said. On Oct. 8, Company X
of Rockford was practically wiped
out by gas and high explosive shell.
Thirteen men were left in the COM
pany. Captain Elmer LindrOth Of
Rockford, commanding, was severe
ly gassed, but has since been able
to return to his company.
Corporal Fred J. KnOwe. of Dun
dee, H.. of the One Hundred Thir-
tierh infantry, has been cited for
the distinguished service cross.
On Nov. 10, below Metz, he was as
signed to hold communications with
a supporting company. While on

the Prussian lieutenant through
the head. and scattered the rest of
the patrol. Later his own patrol
