WITH THE AEF
Thew March---Ten PAGES Apart

I There was complete absence OF
human sound No one shouted or
ders, cried out or talked. They just
pushed. on toward an invisible enc
my. Their JOB was to concentrate
powerfully on putting one foot
ahead of the other regardless OF
what happened.
Watching them do it made you
begin to tremble and you weren't
sure why. These men displayed nc
heroics, no hate, no enthusiasts
no crusading zeal.
There seemed to be nothing what
soever to help spur them on. But
they marched. Their steps seemed
to drum into your brain. These mer
didn't want to 60 forward. Thai
was heartbreakingly clear in every
line of their flinching forms.
1t was even more clear that they
would not stop short of that inferno
beyond them.
With the resignation of the damn
