Scenes which proved only too well
the gallant fight made by the de-
tenders OF the Seicheprey post. told
! the story. A machine gunner lay
dead on his still warm gun. Be
fore him were strewn more than 80
bodies Of the Prussian Guard. Here
another man was found, his heart
pierced with a bayonet but his own
through the heart of a Prussian.
Dead and dying lay everywhere, one
of the most bloody engagements OF
the war.
Citation after citation was given
for the heroic work in this engage
ment. With no bearing on the ulti-
mate outcome of the war, as the
German propaganda had it. the
Prussian "shock troops" merely
were trying out the UNFRAMED
Americans" but they found them
not wanting and instilled into them
the spirit that later enabled them TO
look back and say that at no time
Gid the l02nd give back an inch but
always advanced. Official records
show that the 26th from its first en-
gagement at Scicheprey. never lost
foot of ground but always went the
other way.
Thus it is that the survivors OF Co.
I of that trying day and those which
followed have selected Wednesday.
April Goth as the day on which the
"buddies' will get together again to
celebrate a glorious victory and a
day on which America said to the
world: I'VE are here TO stay"

The streets leading to the shrine
were heavily guarded by police, but
there were no priests. For the sec

to conduct their Offices at the shrine
because of the religious restrictions
The pilgrims, however, attempted no
demonstrations against the govern

Throughout the day a. constant
stream of pilgrims marched through
the church and past the shrine. They
carried lighted candles, kneeling and
praying and Joining in chants.
Through this worshiping crowd an
unidentified man approached the al

a large unlighted candle. He handed
