ing grenades over onto the other
side and spraying the hedges with
their guns. The fighting is very
close-only few yards apart-but
it is seldom actual hand-to-hand
stuff.
Sometimes the remaining Ger
mans come out of their holes with
their hands up. Sometimes they
try to run for it and are moved
down. Sometimes they won't come
out at all, and hand grenade,
thrown into their hole, finishes
thorn off.
And so we've tkaen another
heogerow and are ready to start
on the one beyond.
This hedgerow business is a
series of little skirmishes like that

in the trees. They dig deep
trenches behind the hedgerows
and cover them with timber, so
that it is almost impossible for
artillery to get at them.
Sometimes they will prop up
machine guns with strings at
tached, so they can fire over the
hedge without getting out of their
holes. They even cut out a section
of the hedgerow and hide big
gun or tank in it, covering it with
brush.
Also they tunnel under the
hedgerows from the back and
make the opening on the forward
side just large enough to stick
a machine gun through.
But mostly the hedgerow pat
tern is this: a heavy machine gun
hidden at each end of the field and
infantrymen hidden all along the
hedgeroW with rifles and machine
pistols.
Now it's up to us to dig them
out of there. It's a slow and eau
tious business, and there is moth
ing very dashing about it. Our men
don't go across the open fields in
dramatic charges such as you see
IN the movies. They did at first,
but they learned better.
They go in tiny groups, squad
or less, moving yards apart and
sticking close to the hedgerows
on either end of the field. They
creep a few yards, squat, wait,
then creep again.

ON IHE WESTERN 'FRONT.'
(By Wireless)-I know that all of
us correspondents have tried time
and again to describe to you what
this weird hedgerow fighting in
northwestern France has been like
But I'm going to go over it once
more, for we've been in it two
months and some of us feel that
this is the two months that broke
athe German Army in the west.
This type of fighting is always
in small groups, SO let's take as
an example one company Of men.
Let's say they are working for
ward on both sides of a country
lane, and this company is respon-
sible for clearing the two fields
on either side of the road as it
advances.
That means you have only about
one platoon to a field. And with
the company's understrength from
casualties, you might have no
more than Is or 30 men in field.
Over here the fields are usually
not more than so yards across and
a couple of hundred yards long.
They may have grain in them, or
apple trees, but mostly they are
just pastures of green grass, full
of beautiful cows.
The fields are surrounded on
all sides by immense hedgerows
which consist of an ancient earthen
bank, waist high, all matted with
roots, and out of which grow
weeds, bushes, and trees up to 20
feet high.
The Germans have used these
barriers well. They put snipers

Americans you wouldn't see very
many men at any one time-just
a few here and there, always try
ing to keep hidden. But you would
hear an awful lot of noise.
Our men were taught in training
not to fire until they saw some
thing to fire at. But that hasn't
worked in this country, because
you see so little. So the alternative
is to keep shooting contantly at
the hedgerows. That pins the
Germans in their holes while we
sneak up on them.
The attacking squads sneak up
the side of the hedgerows while
the rest of the platoon stay back
in their own hedgerow and keep
the forward hedge saturated with
bullets. They shoot rifle grenades
too, and mortar squad little
farther back keeps lobbing mortar
shells over onto the Germans.
The little advance groups get up
to the far ends of the hedgerows
at the corners of the field. They
first try to knock out the ma
chine guns at each corner. They
do this with hand grenades, rifle
grenades and machine guns.
Usually, when the pressure gets
on, the German defenders of the
hedgerow start pulling back.
They'll take their heavier guns
and most of the men back a
couple of fields. and start digging
in for new line.
They leave about two machine
guns and a few riflemen scattered
through the hedge, to do a lot OF
shooting and hold up the Ameri-
cans as long as they can. =

front side of the hedgerow, throw
