1T was pretty rough sometimes
for them, then again it was all
| right at times. l would say that
it was about the hardest service
that they could have been given"
the boys in d. First Lieutenant Rippey
7. Shearer Carlisle who has been trans
ferred to G., is one of the commanding
officers the boys from Harrisburg and
Oil City in CompanyD, have some fine
things to tell about. This officer. the
soldiers say is one of the best and his
work for them was pleasure.
Sergeant Ed. Bowers. who has a
brother in the Supply company, made a
record for himself leading patrols and
raiding parties near the close of the
war. Ed wasn't around when the
other fellow told about him. but when
n man goes out two or three times a day
under heavy fire with patrols and on
raids, he just can't help it when the
boys talk about him. Ed" had been
doing just that sort of thing and pretty
often too and he came through without
any serious mishap.
At Fismes the first time the company
was there he was given an important
document to take back to brigade head
quarters and went through sheel fire
much of the time until he got the mes
sage through.
William Miller, Company D, was
wounded in the Argonne in some hard
fighting and the boys think he deserves
citation and service cross. When the
lieutenant in command of the platoon
in which he was serving, was killed
Miller took charge, led the boys on and
silenced a machine gun nest. His mas
terly handling off the mne under him
and his cool. heady work, attracted
every man with him, and they are still
talking about il.
