Upon the Divisions arrival in the Charmentois Area, the 69th Brigade moved up to Auzeville. On September 18th, they relieved the French 73rd Division and the stage was set for the opening of the Mouse Argonne offensive.
 In the early morning of Sep+em- Der 26th, 1918, the 35th Division advance began with the. l33th In- fantry occupying the right half of the Divisional Sector, and the 137'h on the left. The roth Bri- gade was in support Across the Division'S line of advance stood highly organized Vauquois Hill, occupied for four years by the Germans; Chappy, a French viii lage rneed with well prepared ed defense works; Charpentry and Exermont, equally well de tended. The 137th was ordered Co take Vauouois Hill. A thick ard persistent fog made attempts

at Jason intellectual. The 3rd
 Battalion led the advance of the
 l38th Infantry, followed by the
 1st Battalion. Marching by com
 pass was necessitated by the fog.
 The 3rd Battalion advanced
 slightly to the right of Vauquois
 Hill 10 the town of Cheppy. The fog worked to its advantage there
 permitting by-passage of German pill-boXes, dug-outs, and other de- lenses. Those defenseS were con- structed to fire only to their front. After passing through them their destruction was easy from their rear when they could be seen through the persistent fog. The 1st Battalion, to the rear and right of the 3rd exper- fenced the same Jason difficult ties. This Battalion in its advance on Cheppy, met stiff opposition all of the way, and when ap-I preaching the town, found the fog lifting, exposing il 10 fire from

For the next two weeks the Division moved many times as the tactical situa- ion dictated This. of course. necessitated many long. monoto- nous, and weary marches through mud and rain. By September 18th the St. Mihiel offensive had succeeded, and the Division nov ed by notorious to the Charmen- tois Area.
 The 69th Infantry Brigade. composed of the l37th and l38th Infantry Regiments, and the 7Oth Infantry Brigade, composed Of the 139th and the 140th Infantry Regiments, constituted the Infan- try elements of he 18th Division.

and 18 wounded. Enemy losses were much heavier. Of the per sonnel 'icipating in that raid, 19 officers and men were award ed the Croix de Guerre by the French Government for valor.
 Service in the Wesserling Sec tor was actually the completion of the 35th Divisions training pc riod The sector was quiet ex- cept when the Americans went out and looked for trouble. It was believed at the time that raining in trench warfare was vii tai, but such training proved of little value when the real test came during the Battle of the Argonne, where open warfare prevailed Quiet as the sector was, almost 100 men died in those foothills of the Alps.
 Quiet" days for the 35th Di- vision ceased when August end ed, for then it entrained for what

the prepared German positions in front of them. At this stage of their advance, the battalion com mander was killed. In the final assault and actual taking Of Ghep- py, the 2nd Battalion was very active, attacking on the West. Regimental losses during the first days fighting were heavy Most serious losses occurred among the officers, with more than a dozen. including the Regimentai Com mander, being killed or wounded. Two members of Company I per formed deeds to win the Medal of Honor on that day.
 On the morning ot the 27th the advance continued. The t3oth, although not re-organized from the previous days fight, support ing the 10th at approximately 1900 yards. On that day men of the 2nd Battalion aided in the taking of Charpentry. Although

 on July 1st departed for Laredo, Texas. After two months of ef- ficient service on the border. the need for troops there ceased, and the regiment departed for Ne vada, Mo, where it was released from Federal Service on Septem- Der 25,. 1916.
 After the Border Service the Regiment resumed its duties at its Armory in S. Louis. All eff forts were made to keep it in con- dition for the call for service in World War l.. then casting its shadow in the direction of this Nation. On March 26, 1917, the Regiment was again called into active Federal Service, perform ing guard duty and undergoing training at St. Louis. After for mai induction into Federal Ser vice the Regiment trained at MaxWelton Park, Mo, until Aug ust 25th, 1917. Then it moved to Nevada, Mo, remaining there un- til September 29th, when f moved to Camp Doniphan, Ft Sill, Okla.
 During the summer of 1917 an- other Infantry Regiment was or ganized at St. Louis, and was des- iguated as The Fifth Infantry, Missouri National Guard. A num- Der of officers and non-commis- stoned officers of the First Regi- nent went into the Fifth and aid- ed in its organization. The Fifth was recruited at St Louis and in August took it's station at Nevada, Mo, from where it moved to Camp Doniphan.
 On October lst, 1917. the First and Fif4h Regiments of Infantry, Missouri National Guard, were consolidated and designated as the 138th Infantry. The l3a Infan- try then became part of the 35th Division, along with o'her troops from Kansas and Missouri.
 At Camp Doniphan the Regi- ment underwent arduous and in tensive training until April, 1918, when it departed from Camp Mills, N. Y, preparatory to em- barking for Europe. After two weeks at Camp Mills, during which time it paraded in New York City, the Regiment embark ed at Hoboken for the voyage overseas, passing the Statue of Liberty on May 2, 1918.
 After a voyage without incl dent, the transport docked at Liverpool on May l6 On May 18th the Regiment embarked at Southampton and arrived at Le Havre on the same day, moving immediately to Flu, Flanders, where it served briefly with the British.
 On June 7th, 1918, it was felt that the need had passed for the 35th Division at Eu, whereupon it moved to the eastward. Division Headquarters were set up at Acrhes, called "Arsh" by the French, and "Archie'' by the Americans. The 138th Infantry Headquarters were established al, Oounoux.
 The Second Battalion of the f38th Infantry was the first unit of the Division to go to the front. From Arches the Battalion moved by truck through the Moselle Valley and up into the Vosges Mountains ts the Alsatian town of Wesserling. From there the bat talion marched up the mountain the remaining ten miles to relieve French troops occupying the De Galbert sub-sector of the Wesser- ling Sector. This sector was rel atively quiet, although subjected to periodical smelling by artillery, and trench raids by infantry of both forces. Company H con ducted the first trench raid on Hisenfirst Mountain on July 9th, 1913, capturing prisoners, des- troying dug-outs, defenses, and communications Thair loaaor ox,
