town they still commanded. Occa-
stonally. at night, food and anmu-
milton filtered over the bridge In
small quantities. But the slender
span was used mostly in the evacua-
ton Of the more desperately wound
ed. One order for them to retire
had been issued, only to be re-
scinded by French general. He
wanted a bridgehead established at
Fismette, even If there were no
troops left alive to guard it.
Hervey Allen Wounded.
No more heroic defense has ever
been recorded. Outnumbered, with
out proper arms or munitions, those
few companies refused either to
surrender or retreat. Instead, they
smashed forward in several gallant
but futile counterattacks. The valor
OF those men Is attested by the
fact that small as the command was,
in three days, from August 10 to IL,
one Congressional Medal of Honor
and some IS Distinguished Service
Crosses were awarded. Hervey
Allen, famed as author Of Anthony
Adverse" was severely wounded and
gassed during the final stages Of
this fighting.
But valor is not enough. So COM
pletely were those men cut on that
Maj. Gen. Robert L. Bullard, COM
manding the Sd Army Corps, was
not aware Of their fate until he read
in German communique that the
Germans captured Fismette with
$50 Americans. What a pitifully
small remnant Of the original batal-
lion!
German Hospital
stenay. strong point on the
Meuse River, was held by the Ger
mans from 1914 until the morning
Of November II. 1918. when they
were driven out by the seth Division.
During the occupation they had
established q hospital, and tho
Crown Prince had his own private
theater in Stenay. The hospital was
three stories high and q block long,
with huge courtyard in rear.
Robert O. Litchf1eld, now living in
Washington, formerly an officer of
the Rainbow Division (42d), remem-
bers it well. He was patient there
when the Yanks stormed across the
river and drove the Germans from
the city.
The retreating soldiers had
erected heavy barricades across the
street, especially on Rue d'Eglise,
where immobilized portions of roll
ing equipment, military materiel,
household furnishings and anything
else to impede progress, was
stretched across the street in front
Of the church. But the Americans
waded through the barricades, tram
pling them under their hob-nailed
boots.
After the armistice, the Yank5
returned to Stenay, and an entire
regiment was quartered in the hos
pital, from which the wounded had
been evacuated. I was with them
and we remained about two months.
Now the Germans have tramped
once more into Stenay. The long
arm Of coincidence has encircled
many strange, unbelievable things.

From Abbeville and the Channel
ports, stretching eastward toward
Metz, are many sectors Of today's
battlefields which may be recalled
by veterans of the American Ex-
peditionary Force.
Washington veterans, particularly
OF the 10Th Division, will remember
the bitter fighting in the later stages
OF the World War. The outfit had
hammered its way up through Con-
senvoye to the woods north of Molle-
vile Farm, where the ravine in front
of the infantry was heavily peopled
with Germans, in good quality and
perfectly willing to fight. Here Mai
Millard E. Tydings. commanding the
111th Machine Gun Battalion, won
his Distinguished Service Medal by
effective fire and judicious emplace-
ment of his batteries.
The height of that battle was on
October 8, 1918, and its full signifi-
canoe is indicated by the fact that
the three Congressional Medals of
Honor awarded to the 18th Division
were won on that day, all going to
members Of the 58th Infantry Bri-
gade. 1t. Patrick Regan and Pvt
Henry G. Costin (posthumous) of
the 115th Infantry and Sergt. Earl
d. Gregory, 116th Infantry, we're the
recipients Of our country's supreme
decoration for valor.
Guns Pound Again.
More than $50 Distinguished Serv-
ice Crosses were awarded to the
29th Division, the majority of them
for gallantry in this engagement.
Approximately one-quarter of these
medals were issued posthumously.
Howard w. Morrow, 115th Infantry,
who formerly lived on Harvard
street, was killed on that day while
attempting to rescue a wounded
comrade. Eugene F. Saunders of
the same company, living in the 900
block of Fourth street NE, was also
decorated with the D. S. C. for
carrying a wounded man through
heavy barrage.
Now, less than quarter Of q
century later, German guns have
been pounding once more, and the
panzer units have been moving in
exorably forward with their ponder
Gus steel cavalry, resulting in the
recent peace offer of the French
government.
Hamel is a little village not too
well known to Americans. This is
regrettable, for an action of the
World War occurred there which is
worthy of preservation in American
school histories. It epitomizes the
spirit of the Yanks in France.
Amusing Incident.
Hamel lies few kilometers east
of Amiens and about q mile south
of the Somme River. It is now in
the possession of the Germans. But
In July, 1918, the village was held by
Australian troops Of the British Ex-
peditionary Force.
It was here that an unusual, al
most amusing incident took place.
There weren't many Yanks there
only four companies of the 131st and
1920 Infantry, about 1000 men.
They had been sent into the lines
for training and observation" It
was not part Of the high commands S
intention to have them really blood
ed. On the afternoon of July 3, in
the face of impending battle, they
were ordered detached from the
British and returned to their own
regiments.
