An American D0ughboy in
France
By ELLIOTT F. HOFFMAN
Historian of Alexandria Post, No.
81, American Legion.)
(F'or the Alexandria Gazette.)
The Battle of st. Mihiel
(Continued.)
(For the Alexandria Gazette.)
The Battle of st. NJ

After two days fighting we had
gained our objective and Immediately
prepared to- fortify our position for
he impending counter attack of the
,nemy. We dug in" about a quarter
# mile firm the enemy trenches in
| wood facing an open field. This
space between our trenches and the
.nemy's is Familiarity known as No
Mans Land.
One-half of the company was as
signed the task of digging trenches
between the hours Of one. and -four
Zach morning, and small number 0:
men served as "gas guard" These
we're to be on the alert to warn US
when gas attacks, which were invari-
able at night, were imminent. A small
klaxon was nailed to tree near the
line of dugouts where the guard stood
ready to give the signal at the
sound of the attack. 1t was not diff
cult for the guard to distinguish
these gas shells from the bursting
shrapnel, as the gas shells burst with
sound similar to that made by the
bursting of toy balloon, while the
shrapnel can be heard for miles.
a small detail of men were select
ed to patrol No Mans Land during
the night. Tired, hungry, and dirty.
The coolies" doing Marathon
around our collars, which they used
Is private race track, we strolled
Up and down that open space with
prayer upon our lips that the high
explosive shells going over from both
ines would not get "lazy" on their
Quincy. And in this state of misery
% often see thousand square
reads" with fixed bayonets charging
across that desolate field after "just
ne" lone doughboy, made each feel
hat he was passing through life's
darkest moment.
All day long from six in the morn
ng until five in the afternoon we had
nothing to do but lie there in our
ioles in the ground and listen to the
sweet" music, furnished by the hig!
explosives, float melodiously over our
reads. AS the shells burst nearer an,
learer, we dug our holes deeper, deep
r. until we began to wonder how
much farther down the Devilu lived
Though had we been able to plumb
lis depth, we would have found mot
n" sign, for in those days the Devil
vas abroad in the land with his pitch
'ork, fire and birthstone, and all his
,ther instruments of torture.

Irawn up from the rear by Rainbow

bread for each man. Our craving for
something sweet was satisfied one
afternoon when some faithful Saliva
ton Army workers brought US CHI
colate. We received only very small
piece because Of the vast number to
be supplied with the coveted sweet.
They told US of the rousing welcome
that awaited US back of the lines
when we were relieved. The dough-
nuts, hot chocolate, cookies, and flap
Jacks! Oh, boy! What an inspiration
that was to live that battle through!
Those wonderful Salvation Army men
and women! Can any doughboy ever
forget their faithfulnass Following
US into rain-soaked trenches, as they
did that night of the opening attack,
ministering to our comfort during
the battle and awaiting US at the rear
when the battle was over-they were
indeed true soldiers
Our intelligence department learn
ed of an impending raid to be made
by some shock troops Of square
heads" And preparations were made
to meet it by selecting the best men
of each company to form an arm of
resistance. 1t was a beautiful Sep
TENDER afternoon when the enemy
came over the top toward our posi-
ton, and, with bayonets fixed,
charged furiously over that field be-
hind a machine gun barrage. Our
light artillery moved them down like
wheat, while the infantry mopped up
the rest. Not German got as far
as our first line of resistance, and
yet our losses were comparatively
small.
There were often Individual TRACE
dies in these encounters. In this par
ticular charge one poor fellow, who
just prior to the raid had received
a letter from home telling Of the
death of member of his family, went
over with tears in his eyes. He never
came back. His nerves shattered, his.
power of resistance was gone.
At a. m. on September 27 we
moved out of our position which was
then taken over by the 165th Infan-
try of New York. Three hours hik-
ing brought us to the rear, where the
reception the Salvation Army had
told US of became a reality. The Red
Cross served hot chocolate, cookies,
peanut bars; the women of the Saliva
ton Army cooked us flapjacks and
gave US doughnuts; while the Y. NJ
C. A. sold chocolate at only nominal
charge. But unfortunately, not man
of us had any money. Pay day very
seldom came over there and it didn';
make much difference, any way; fo'
by the time all deductions were made
we didn't have enough left to buy a
dress for humming bird.
The first Sunday we spent back c
the lines, an Alexandria boy fo~
Sunday School class, which met in
the woods. Perched in trees and seat
ed on the ground, we heard him tell
in eloquent language of the teach
ings of the great divine Commandant.
But those were not suspicious time
for the quiet of worship; the phVsi
cal discomforts were too great. Per-
haps the faithful performance o.
duty was taken for the outward wor-
ship we seemed unable to give.
After few days rest we started
on our six days hiking to relieve tn
First Division then battling its wa.
in the Argonne Forest.
