American left proved to be merely
a feint. The main attack came
against the right. One sergeant had
started down toward the left in a
jeep, but was hit by shell fragments
and had to come back. He reported
that the lieutenant in charge also
had been hit and called for a jeep
to be sent to take him out.
Il had to stay with the guns"
Sergt. Marsden said, 80 I got the
first-aid man and sent him down
with a jeep and driver.
Then an order came over the
radio that tanks were coming
through on the right and that the
two tank destroyers had been put
out of action. We had to re-
organize. The captain sent word
to move all my vehicles and con-
centrate on the right"
BY this time the fighting had
reached such peak that Sergt.
Marsden was aware of only what
was taking place in his immediate
area. And by this time, too, the
shell which had his name on it al
ready was on its way.
Heard Shell Coming.
II had been walking down the
hill to where my jeep was parked
when Is saw one of our boys who
had got hit running toward it." the
sergeant recalled. "He was hit in
the shoulder and I hollered to the
driver to take him to the hospital
while I went on to see If any one
else was hurt by the heavy fire.
II was just starting over to my
section when I heard this shell
coming and had just turned around
to see where it was when it killed
Sergt. Frank Koval, one of my
Nesquehoning pals, on a half-track.
He lived just block away from me
and we had slept, eaten and trav-
eled together.
"As soon as I turned around I
knew that Id been hit, because the
force of the explosion threw me
down. At first I thought it wasn't
bad, but when started to spit
blood I knew they had got me in
the lung. But I figured my time
wasn't come, so I ripped my combat
jacket off and bandaged my wound
up and took the tablets.
while I was lying there a shell
had burst around me and caught
me in the legs, under my right
knee and in my right thigh. I
figured had to get back into the
rocks to safety quick to see how
bad 1 was, so I hollered to Sergt.
John Reihaman and he gave me
a hand and started to pull me to
the rocks. But the firing got so
hot I figured he'd better go back.

sBoek From the Wars
Clusters Last Stand Recalled
In Battle of kosserine Pass
Seret. Morsden Tells
Of Captains S Words
To PennsyIvonioUnit

"The captain said to us the
morning before, You've heard Of
Clusters last stand? Well, here's
where it's going to be for us. Either
we hold 'em here, or we get wiped
out"
The words were spoken in a ward
at Walter Reed, but the speakers
mind was thousands of miles away,
high up in pass Of the Atlas Noun
tains in North Africa. Far down in
the mist which shrouded the plain
below was the town of Feriana.
Somewhere between the town and
the pass, also hidden in the mist,
we're the advance elements of the
German panzer divisions which had
broken through at Maknassy.
Three days before, the American
tank destroyer outfit, which was now
preparing for a last stand in Kas-
serine Pass, had ended long, forced
march to Gafsa, beyond Feriana,
relieving another antitank group
which had been at grips with the
enemy for two months.
IS Men From One Town.
1t was fighting outfit which had
roared into Gafsa late that January
day. Drawn in large part from a
tough, Pennsylvania National Guard
unit, 1t included IS men from one
Pennsylvania town, Nesquehoning,
near Hazelton, and it was one of
their number, Staff Sergt. Chalmer
Marsden, now recovering from his
wounds at Walter Reed, who told
this tale.
I'VE got into Gafsa about 5 pm.
and the boys of the st were glad
to get little rest" he recalled. I'VE
had our orders to move out and
protect Gafsa and all the roads
leading through it and since our
outfit was the only tank destroyer
group there, we put out on all the
roads to cover the evacuation of the
town.
Most Of the roads had been mined
by United States engineers and so,
just at evening, Sergt. Marsden
started of across a field in jeep
ito see If I could see anything" He
soon found that there was plenty
to be seen.
Before the jeep had gone very
far, 13 German Mark Nv tanks sud-
denly appeared in scattered forma-
ton. Their gunners spotted the
jeep Immediately and opened up
with their machine guns.
THE lieutenant who was with me
said, Turn around and we turned
around. When we got back and put
our guns into position we opened
flre and got three of the tanks.
Back In the Pass.
Then came the order to move
back into Kasserina Pass and hold
them there, so we pulled out of
Gafsa about am. We started on
the 10th and on the 10Th we were
back in the pass"
Once back in the pass. a surprise
was awaiting, the Americans. They
had reached their positions at night.
AS soon as the day broke they found
themselves under machine gun fire.
German units had reached the scene
before them and taken up positions
on the shoulders of the mountains
on either side.
The captain had put one platoon
down on the left and one platoon
down on the right and told us to
nold our fire, as we had to get
them or we would be wiped out.
Ine lieutenant with me had taken
Two half-tracks out on the left flank
and while he was down there he
got six tanks which were attempt
