When the History Committee of the 139th Infantry put the pro- duction of this book into the hands of the Guard Pubhshing Company

early in September, 1919, that company arranged with me to write it. -Many difficuhies have arisen in the collection of data, principally through my inability to obtain the regimental records.

Officers and men of the regiment have resumed their civilian pur- suits and some of them have wandered far afield since they were discharged from the army, so far indeed that letters and telegrams are unanswered. The Regimental History, which would have been of great assistance, has not been found. Such officers and men as I have been able to get in touch with have been most kind and helpful,

and whatever value the book has is due to them.

I am fully aware that the narrative given here does not do jus-

tice to the fine regiment with which it deals, but no book could do that. The great bravery of these men, the grim persistence, the fortitude in the face of great odds, have made for them a fame which should live forever.

My poor words cannot add to their glory. All I can hope to do is briefly to tell their story and off'er a book which will preserve the pictures of these gallant men in the uniforms they wore with so much honor on the fields of France. Clair Kenamore

A COMPANY

ONE of the firm convictions of natives of Missouri and Kansas used to be that the citizens of the other state were a bad lot. This impression came down from the days when we Missourians, out of the goodness of our hearts, used to go over into Kansas and help them hold their elections. Even before Kansas was a state, Missourians were trying to lead them onward and upward to better things. We took them by the hand, led them to the ballot box, showed them how to vote, told them which way to vote, voted ourselves to give them the benefit of our example. Often we voted for them when they were backward or timorous. Did they appreciate it? They did not. They called us many thing-s that were not pleasant to listen to. We called them things which sounded even worse. Twenty yeare ago the boys in any respectable Missouri school had a bitter contempt for Kansas and its people. In my own family there was an uncle who moved to Kansas and bought a farm. We spoke in low tones of him in the family circle afterward. Now all that feeling has passed away. The prejudice and in- tolerance of Civil War days are forgotten. The only rivalry is in the tilt yards of trade, and the only bitterness is upon the foot-ball field. The last vestige of this old rancor was swept away by regiments such as the 139th Infantry of the United States Army. This regiment was made up of the 4th Missouri Infantry and the 3rd Kansas Infantry, two National Guard outfits of enduring fame. They were united soon after they were called to the colors, they were trained as one unit. By the time they were sent to France, all state lines had been lost. In France thev worked and learned and trained

11 A COMPANY and fought as one man. The 139th fnfantry came out of the Argonne with its bloody head held high in air. No prouder outfit ever stepped than the ragged band which trailed back to Somaisne with the guns roaring behind it and the relieving troops holding the position the regiment had conquered in the valley of the Aire. To start this story properly and to give the reader an accurate conception of the men and traditions that made this regiment, it is best to look over the records of the two regiments which were joined to make the One Hundred Thirty-ninth. The first 3rd Kansas \'olunteers were recruited by Senator James H. Lane in the summer of 1861. It was an infantry regiment with calvary and artillery companies. Certain companies of this 3rd Regiment were on active duty from 1861 to 1864. In October, 1864, General Sterling Price of the Confederate Army crossed the Kan.sas border from Missouri, and threatened to raid the state. Nearly all of the 3rd Regiment including the Battery and Com- panies O and P took part in the opposition to General Price. In 1884 there was a 3rd Kansas National Guard Regiment, and it existed until the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898. After the vSpanish-American War, plans for re-organization of the National Guard provided for only two regiments of infantry, and so from 1898 until 1917 there was no 3rd Kansas Infantry of the National Guard. As soon as permission was given by the Federal Government in 1917, Brigadier General Charles I. Martin commenced the organization of a unit to be known as the 3rd Kansas Infantry.

The 1st Kansas Infantry was, generally speaking, in the eastern part of the state, and the 2nd Kansas Infantry was in the western part, but both were pretty well scattered. The 3rd Regi- ment was raised without regard to geography, and came from that territory which would be covered by a triangle drawn from Leaven- worth to Downs to Eldorado.

The conditions under which the regiment was raised made it possible to assign to companies officers who came from towns other than those in which the companies were raised. General Martin himself selected the officers of the regiment, and it had an excellent personnel. The new regiment was without equipment other than that supplied by the local committee. It was called into Federal service Au-

gust 5, 1917 and was sent to Doniphan on September 26, 1917. H Company did not go to Doniphan on that date as it was quarantined because of sickness among the men. The affairs of the regiment

were administered from Topeka from August 5. to September 26. The men of this new 3rd Infantry Regiment of the Kansas National Guard were not the descendants of the old 3rd Kansas regiments, and there were no traditions to connect the new regiment with the old ones, but they were husky young Kansans of the same breed and from the same land that the men of the other 3rd Kansas regiments had been. The 4th Missouri Infantry was organized March i, 1891. It

was composed of seven companies and Colonel J- A. Arbuthnot was

its first commander. It was located generally in the northern part of the state, and many towns have been represented in its organization. The forming and nnistering-out of companies have gone on steadily since that time. Concerning the early life of the regiment Col. William E. String- fellow says "In those days, there was no state appropriation for the main- tenance of the companies. Equipment was issued. The companies had to be maintained by the officers and men. Some small amount in dues was paid by each member and the officers had to dig up to supply the deficiencies. We held our annual encampments much in the manner that a street carnival is held. We approached the various towns in north and northwest Missouri of suitable size to be inter- ested, and saw what they would allow us in the way of camping- grounds, wood and water, and anything else we might get, including a percentage of the receipts of a sham battlq, which usually was given as the principal means of obtaining any ready cash. The officers made up the deficiency. "From the date of my acquaintance with the regiment, which was practicallv at the beginning of its organization, there has been a high degree of military spirit and willingness to serve on the part of a nucleus, which spirit has been maintained until now, and it is my sincere belief that a part of the splendid spirit shown by the One Hundred Thirty-ninth in France was due to the esprit de corps created in the early days and maintained until now." The regiment volunteered for service in the Spanish-American

War, was mustered into Federal service May i6, 1898, and was mobi- lized at Jefferson Barracks. On May 25, it moved to Camp Alger, Pennsylvania, where it was assigned to the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the 2nd Army Corps. It was brigaded with the 4th Penn- sylvania and the 6th Blinois. On Aug'ust 20, 1898 it moved to Camp Meade, Pennsylvania and in November moved to Greenville, South Carolina. It was discharged from Federal service at Camp Weather- ill, South Carolina, February 10, 1899. The regiment continued its course of changes in personnel and location and maintained its existence without a break up to June 23, 1916, when it reported at Nevada, under the order of the President for duty on the Mexican border. On July 4, 1916, it departed for Laredo, in three special trains. It was commanded by Col. John D. McNeely. On the Mexican border it had an interesting tour of duty until February 21, 1917, when it moved to Ft. Riley, Kansas. It was formally released from Federal service February 28, 1917. The regiment was reviewed by General Funston who praised it highly for its soldierly bearing and discipline. Just before it left the border two companies, A of Tarkio and B of Caruthersville, made a remarkable hike. These companies were stationed at San Ygnacio, 45 miles from regimental headquarters at Laredo. Under command of Major Clay C. Macdonald they left San Ygnacio at 5 minutes to 3 in the afternoon and marched to headquarters. The roads were narrow, rocky and sandy, and it was in the dark of the moon, but they reached their destination the next morning at 7 o'clock. They lost but two men to the ambulance. The 45 miles were made in 16

hours, or leaving out the rest for supper and the 5 and 10 minute rest periods on the march, a marching time of 13 hours. The last 12 miles of the march was covered in 3 hours and 5 minutes. Major Macdonald was the first oificer inducted into Federal service in May, 1917, and the only officer who served with the regiment in the Span- ish War, on the Mexican border and in France. Among its officers on the border were Major Macdonald, commanding the 1st Battalion; Captain Williamson, commanding D Company; Major James E. Rieger, commanding the 2nd Battal- ion; Captain Wilson, commanding G Company; Captain McQueen, commanding H Company and Major Stepp, commanding the 3rd Bat- talion. We shall hear of these men again in France. Major Ralph Ramer who served with the South Carolina troops in the world war, Major Donald Bonfoey who served on the Border and in France, and Captain Donald Duncan of the Marines, who fell in battle near Chateau Thierry, all had their training with the old Fourth Missouri. formed, Com- .

Since the Kansas regiment had been newly organized, most of the regimental and company commands went to Missouri officers for the time being. Disi)laced officers were attached, or were sent to the Depot Brigade. Colonel AIcNeely commanded the regiment and to assist, advise and instruct him there was a procession of regular armv officers, none of whom stayed long with the regiment.

All through the training- period at Camp Doniphan, a dreary and unrelieved spell of work, officers and men were upheld by the thought that much good would come out of it. Incidents and events at the time seemed to have great importance, but they are now virtually forgotten. It was the same with the journey to the Atlantic sea- board, the exciting voyage to England and thence to France. Things that made the greatest impression then have passed out of the memory, or are at best but faint wisps of recollections. Even the work with the British in the north of France, when the regiment was near to the battle lines, and the later days in the \"osges, when the troops went into the trenches, are dim now. Nearly all of these things have been thrown into memory's dis- card by the great days of the Argonne. Trench raids, patrols in No- Man's land, excursions to repair barbed wire entanglements were great events in the Vosges and they all did have an important bearing on the future fitness of the regiment, but the things that we thought always would be high-lights in our recollection became very dim after five days of battle in the valley of the Aire. During the stay in the Vosges, Lieutenant Thomas Hopkins lost his life. The 137th Infantry, which joined up with the 139th Infan- try in the trenches, made a trench raid on the morning of July 20. A wounded soldier was caught in the wire. Lieutenant Hopkins saw this man's predicament from his post and though he had nothing to do with the raid, went to aid the wounded man. In doing so he passed unhurt through an enemv barrage, but in assisting the

wdundcd man to cover, Lieiilcnant I rojikins was himself fatally wounded. The Distiui^uished Service Cross and the Croix de Guerre were both awarded to Lieutenant Hopkins and an American Legion Post in his home in Wichita, Kansas has been named for him. The regiment also lost Captain Alexander M. Ellett in the Vosges. He was commanding I Company and had done, excellent work in rounding the company into shape. Near Amiens in the spring, his company won first place in the competitive drill within the battalion and one of his platoons won tirst place in the competition among platoons. His company in the Vosges occupied the town of Metzerall. The explosion of a hand-grenade while he was inspecting- an intermediate line of defense caused wounds from which Captain Ellett died before reaching the hospital. Captain Charles H. Browne, who had commanded H Company of the 3rd Kansas and later E Company of the One Hundred Thirty-ninth and who had done such good work in Alsace was sent back home as an instructor August 11. He became a Major and while he never saw the Argonne, the work he had done in training the men lived after him on that field. Colonel McNeeley, who had commanded the regiment at Doni- phan was relieved after several weeks in France. He was promoted to a corps job and did not see anj^ further service with the One Hun- dred Thirty-ninth. But I am sure he would have forgone the promotion for the privilege of staying with his outfit.

The 139th Infantry was 3208 men and 79 officers strong on Sep- tember 25, the day before the Argonne offensive opened. Lieutenant- Colonel Carl L. Ristine was in command. It had been the intention to have Colonel Americus Mitchell lead the regiment, but he arrived late. The regiment, with the One liimdred Fortieth, formed the 70th Brigade. The attack was made by the 69th Brigade, with the 137th Regiment on the left half of the divisional front. The 139th Regi- ment advanced behind the One Hundred Thirty-seventh. While the forward regiments, the One Hundred Thirty-seventh and One Hundred Thirty-eighth, were becoming tangled and mixed because of the fighting in the fog, Ristine succeeded in keeping his regiment clear and in order. The regiment moved forward in colunms of battalions with companies and platoons in staggard formation. As the C)ne Hundred Thirty-ninth approached the defenses of Varennes, it found the One Hundred Thirty-seventh was immediately in front of it and held up by the opposition. The One Hundred Thirty-ninth dug in, as there was considerable artillery fire and waited. It was not long before the reserve battalion of the One Hundred Thirty-seventh came up behind the One Hundred Thirtv-ninth. This battalion had been in some way passed by the One Hundred Thirty-ninth in the advance. Ristine waited two hours, then went forward and asked Colo- nel Hamilton, commanding the One Hundred Thirty-seventh, what delayed his advance. Colonel Hamilton's regiment had suft'ered from inter-mingling and mixture of troops and when it was stopped by the \^arennes defenses and had lain for some time under the heavv and

concentrated fire upon it. the Colonel was doubtful whothor or not he could make headway against the enemy position. Ristine returned to his regiment and sent a runner to the Bri- gade Connnander, telling him of the condition of the One Hundred Thirty-seventh and asking permission to take the One Hundred Thirtv-ninth forward and continue the fight. He received no answer to that message or to another similar one which he sent afterwards. The One Hundred Thirty-ninth was beginning to suffer from the bombardment and Ristine feared that the morale of his outfit would go down if he held them inactive any longer. Being unable to get any answer from his Brigade Commander he put his regiment in formation and went forward. The order was: Scouts, a skirmish line, the 3rd Battalion, ist Battalion, 2nd Battalion. The most of the town of Varennes lies across the River Aire from the 35th Division's sector. On our bank of the river there were a good number of houses and a ruined church. All of these are situ- ated in the low and flat hollow places under the river bank. The hills around run to the right like the rim of a cup. Ristine did not attack frontally, but took his command around the hills with very little damage to the regiment and as soon as the Germans found him in their rear, they evacuated the position. There was not much stiff fighting. He merely "pinched out" the place. The regiment had proceeded possibly a kilometer further, when the front line slowed up. Ristine, again becoming concerned about the morale of his outfit, told Maior Stepp to take command of the

Ristine moved to the right and there found the galkint Rieger with about 100 men, trying to breach the Hne. After cleaning up A'auquois Hill and the Rois de Rossignol, he had come up to the right of the regiment and finding the One Hundred Thirty-seventh stopped had tried to drive a wedge through the enemy line to relieve the One Hundred Thirty seventh. He had driven a wedge into it, Init with his small command also had been stopped and was fighting desperately when Ristine's advance came to his assistance. Ristine put Rieger in command of the right wing and told him to push on towards V'ery. Ristine who had strengthened his skirmish line, drove straight ahead destroying everything before him and finally reached a point about a kilometer and a half south of Charpentry, where he ran into a verv heavy enfilading fire. He told his detachment to dig in and wait for the regiment to come up. When the regiment failed to ap- pear, Ristine left his skirmish line, holding the front, and went back to the regiment. There he learned Major Stepp had been killed and

the regiment had not moved. 1 le reformed his command in a column of battalions and took the regiment forward and the men dug in just back of the skirmish line at nightfall. Rieger had volunteered for the mopping up of A^auquois Hill and the Bois de Rossignol. Captains Wilson and McQueen had matched coins for the i)rivilege. AVilsou with two conipaiu'es had attended

ATacdonald was killed, valorously leading his men over the net work of enemy defenses. Writing- to Mrs. Stepp, Chaplain Daniel Lane thus described Major Stepp's death "It was just at 3 o'clock in the afternocm of this first day of the engagement when our beloved Major fell. We were emerging from the vallev bv the German cemeterv on the Eastern suburbs of Va- rennes, w'alking up the narrow gauge raihvay turning to the right and walking up to the forks of the Cheppv-^"arennes and Charpentry roads and mounted to the summit of the opposite hill.

After receiving the reports of the scouts it was decided to take the whole regiment over the railroad crossing. The ist Battalion crossed immediately behind the Third and took position 500 meters in the rear of the Third early on the morning of Sept. 26. When the advance began, at 5:30 a.m., it was necessary to use the scouts in order to kcej) the prescribed distance behind the 3rd liattalion. b'arlv on this morning, Captain Cater joined the ist Battalion with C Company. The advance, which was 500 meters in the rear of the 3rd Battalion, was with companies 1) and A in the lead and companies B and C about 400 meters in the rear. The companies advanced in line of platoon colunms. The onl\- work the battalion had to do that morning was to keep the ijrescribed distance behind the 3rd llattalion and to send back a message every half hour, all of which was accurately and promptly done. Lieutenant Ridlon was the scout leader and Captain Morgan was charged with the direction of the lines. The Battalion advanced through the fog with nothing of great interest to report until about noon, when it halted in the rear of the 137th Infantry. The men took advantage of what little cover there was, as the position was being- shelled at intervals and during this halt a good many men were wounded. Major Clarke organized the battalion to be readv for the advance

24 B COMPANY and finally word came to him that the One Hundred Thirty-ninth was to go through the One Hundred Thirty-seventh and attack. The Third Battalion led the way through, the First was behind it 500 meters and in the rear was the 2nd Battalion. All three battalions suffered more or less from the enemy barrage and from the front, rifle fire was beginning to liven up. Enemy machine guns were very active, and this, with the heavy artillery made a terrific din. Finally the combined fire of the opposition halted the 3rd Battalion and it dug in for the night. Major Stepp had been killed, Rieger was with his outfit, and Ristine had gone back to headquarters for orders and conference, so Clarke found himself in command of the regiment. Captain Nesbitt with his machine guns protected the right flank, and men from the ist Battalion were placed as outposts along the entire left flank. Machine gun fire on the forward elements of the 3rd Bat- talion was kept up all night and a German patrol which tried to pene- trate the lines during the night was repulsed. While Major Clarke had every confidence in the judgement of Lieutenant Davidson, who had placed the outposts, he thought it the part of wisdom to inspect them himself. Major Clarke's orderly and all the ofiicers in his P. C. were asleep, so he went forward alone, got lost a time or two, and finally ran into a bunch of wounded soldiers who were trying to devise a way to get to the rear. He put them in a protected place, sent for assistance for them and after inspecting the outposts and wandering about for a while in the darkness and rain decided he had better go 1)ack to his own Battalion Post of Com- mand. He thinks he fell over a hundred men in trving to find that

P. C. He finally reached it and soon was asleep but was almost immediately awakened by a runner who said the Regimental Adjutant wanted to know if he would not come at once to the regimental P. C, as he was expecting the Germans to attack on our left. No attack came and about dawn Ristine returned. He gave out information concerning the advance and placed the ist Battalion in the line with the Third. Major Clarke went back to his battalion to give the necessary orders for the advance. In getting into position the air seemed alive with machine gun bullets. Everybody walked close to the ground. A sudden machine gun burst pinned Major Williamson and Major Clarke to the ground. Williamson was hit on the left side, but not badlv hurt. Clarke was hit four times with machine gun bullets, once in the left wrist, once in the left leg and two minor wounds in the right leg below the knee. 1 lis left leg was useless, but he remained where he was for some time, thinking it might be possible for him to go forward again when the time came. Tie crawled a little to the rear to get into the path of the litter bearers and he thought he would be able to stay throughout the day, but Colonel Ristine saw him and ordered that he be taken to the rear. So ended his part in the Meuse-Argonne Battle. He was in the hospital until November 25, then returned to duty, but had to go back to the hospital again as he was not yet fit. He finally rejoined the regiment December 21, ic)i8. On September 2/, the second day of the battle, the attack was to be resumed at 5 130 a.m. by the 70th Brigade which had been in support on the first dav. Tt was not necessary for the One Hundred

Thirty-ninth to effect a passage of Hnes in order to be in position to attack as it had done this the day before in front of Varennes. The One Hundred Thirty-ninth attacked with two battalions in the front line and one in support. A machine gun company was attached to each of the front line battalions. Ristine did not order his men forward until 6:30 a.m. He had tried to get the time delayed until 8:30 when there would be a chance of getting" artillery support. He felt sure that there would be no artillery support at 5 :30, as promised. The artillery had not opened at 6:30. Ristine sent a message to Brigade Headquarters telling them he was ready to attack but that there was no artillery fire. He got no reply to this message, so he attacked without any help from the big guns. The German artillery and machine guns had been well placed so as to sweep the territory over which the One Hundred Thirty-ninth had to advance. The regiment was able to go ahead but it was paying a very heavy price. In writing of a battle, authors are too jirone to accept the easy way of referring to an outfit by the name of the commander. In every instance the present writer knows of, the fights have been won and the credit should go to the enlisted men. If the text says, "Jones moved forward 500 3'ards," it is hoped the reader will know that it was the doughboys who did it. They carried the rifles, thev forced back the enemy and they took the wounds. A proper history, to be complete, would have the names of the individual soldiers and would recite their deeds, but we are not now far enough advanced to do that. It is useless to repeat that the men of the 139th Infantry

C COMPANY fought with superlative fortitude and daring, but it would be true to write that at the end of every day's story. Ristine balanced the cost in men against the profit of ground gained and decided he was in a losing business, so he ordered the regiment to halt and told the men to dig in. He notified brigade headquarters that he could advance no further without artillery support. That was about lO o'clock in the morning of September 27. About II a.m. word was brought forward of tanks in the rear. Ristine sent messages to the officers of the tanks commanding them to come forward with all speed. They came and he placed them on his right wing, formed the infantry behind them and ordered the advance to be resumed. Artillery and anti-tank fire was so heavy that it drove the tanks from the field. This left the right of the 139th Regiment's line well ahead of the left. The troops dug in again, and held fast. Our artillerv was beginning to open and Ristine sent word to Brigade Headquarters that he could move forward if he had a 30 minute destructive fire on Charpentry and Baulny and a barrage in front of that part of his line which was east of the road. He received no reply to this message, so he pulled his right back to straighten the line and again ordered the men to dig" in. He called a meeting of battalion and company commanders and this meeting was in session at 5 p.m. when he received an order to attack at 5 130 p.m. Ristine sent his officers scurrying back to their commands. This order had been inspired by a sharp message General Traub had received from General Pershing. This order read as follows

He expects the division to move forward now in accordance with orders. Lieutenant Cosgrove and Captain Brown, Regimental Adjutant, ah^eady were dead in that day's fighting. Both were daring and bril- Hant fighters. The casualties among the enlisted men had been heavy, but the regiment came out of its fox holes at 5:30 and went ahead with a rush. They guided to the left and got a heavy fire from machine guns and artillery, but they went ahead cleaning up machine gun nests as they went and before they stopped both Charpen- try and Baulny had been taken. They had broken through the Ger- man line which had stopped them twice already that day. Lieutenant Axline of E Company was killed as he was taking his platoon through a passage in the wire northwest of Charpentry. A machine gun bullet hit him in chest. He covered the wound with his hand and stood by until the entire detachment was out of the wire and going ahead. He then fell behind, crawled into a shell hole and died. When the attacking troops finally stopped, Rieger's battalion lay in the edge of Montrebeau Wood and the regiment had to its credit the capture that evening of Charpentry, Baulny and the Chaudron Farm. One must study the map and take into account the difficulties of the terrain fully to understand the work the 139th Infantry had

done in the first two days of this l)attle. Defenses and strong' points which had an evil fame all along the battle line had fallen before the dash and impetuous courage of Ristine's men. On the night of Sep- tember 2y the regiment lay well beyond Baulny. Captain Haftle, commanding the 3rd Battalion, dug in there. Rieger was in Montre- bean Wood and the ist Battalion was not far from Chaudron Farm. Lieut, Carlisle Wilson who was afterward promoted to Captain was wounded when the regiment was attacking Charpentry. He was operating with his company as a protection for the left flank and was near Montblainville. He had crossed the River Aire and driven out the enemy machine gunners who threatened the success of the attack. Montblainville was in the 28th Division's sector, but thev were far behind and Wilson cleaned up the neighborhood of Montblainville effectively. He died of his wounds. No braver man than Wilson fought in the Argonne. His fighting spirit was shown early on the football field where he became Captain of the University of Missouri team. Thinking that he could prevent mixing up of the troops, Ristine had taken charge of his own skirmish line, and pressed ahead too rapidly. Finally only Lieutenant McCord accompanied him, and they became separated in crossing a small stream. McCord guided to the left and, unable to find his colonel, joined a party which penetrated far into the enemy territory near the bank of the river. Ristine went ahead. He believed the American front line was still in front of him and seeing some soldiers through the dusk climb-

C COMPANY ing" a hill across the valley made this belief stronger. They were the retreating Germans, but he was not close enough to them to dis- tinguish their uniforms. Indeed our troops had stopped and there was nothing ahead of Ristine but the Germans. He reached a hill just south of the valley which leads to Exermont and found himself c[uite near one of these lines of troops. "What outfit is this?" he yelled through the gathering darkness, but got no answer. He drew nearer and found it was a German outfit in retreat.

The Colonel was up against it. What he knew of the terrain he had learned from the map and it liad now grown so dark that he could not put this knowledge to any use. He had lost his flash light, and probably would not have dared to examine his map even if he had had the light. He was in a quandary. He surely did not want to be surrounded by the enemy and he had a natural reluctance to retire from a retreating foe. With him at this time were a lieutenant and five privates of the 137th Infantry, whom he had run across on the field after leaving McCord. The seven men went to the crest of the hill and crawled into a big new shell hole. They organized it by dig- ging the soft earth out of the bottom and putting it around the rim for a barricade. The)' had made four automatic ritle positions in the sides of the hole, when a German machine gun began to shoot across their position. Soon it appeared that two guns were crossing their fire over the shell hole. After a period of waiting, Ristine decided the detachment could do better as individuals and gave each man permission to look out for himself. Ristine explained to them his idea, which was to crawl

32 C COMPANY out of the hole towards the Oerman Hues some Joo yards, and then to try and find the way back to the American Hnes. He was sure that a direct retreat was cut off. Ristine set out alone. He crawled for a long distance towards the enemy, then turned and walked parallel to the position he supposed the lines to occupy. By this time it was very dark. Ristine could see that the Ger- mans were in retreat. The American artillery was putting a slight interdiction fire on the territory and its results were to keep the Ger- mans from grouping. This helped Ristine as there were many other individual soldiers wandering about besides himself. The night was verv dark and a cold, hard rain was falling. The Colonel was wet and hungry. The Germans were in retreat and, naturally, virtually all of the movement was backwards but there was the incidental movement of men forward and up and down the lines. At a dug out apparently deserted Ristine found a German ofificer's kit all laid out ready to be packed. The American Colonel had no overcoat, so he took the one which belonged to the German officer and put it on. Then as he walked on he figured out a course of action which he thought would render him least open to suspicion. This plan was to act as nearly as possible as he supposed a German officer moving about would act under similar circumstances, ^^l^enever he came near a working party or near to anyone else who would be likely to observe him, he pretended to be very busy and in a great hurry. He bustled by soldiers as if some very important affair had been entrusted to him. He figured that he was not likely to be discovered in the intense darkness, if he did not make an open attempt to reach the

American lines. Whenever he came to a road he proceeded along it as if he knew it thoroughly and knew exactly where he was going. Whenever he found himself comparatively alone, he stopped and en- deavored to orient himself, in order to lind tlie road for home, hut whenever anyone aj^proached, he immediately became very busy again. He had decided that if he were challenged and found he was unable to bluff his way through gruffly, as he assumed a Cierman officer would do, he would shoot the challenger and run for it toward the American lines. He reasoned that since he was an American Col- onel, caught inside the German line, he would rather take his chances on fighting his way out than to be taken prisoner. He might have got away with this if he had been challenged. During the more than 24 hours he was inside the German lines, he carried his Colt's automatic pistol in his hand, usually inside his overcoat pocket. Dawn found him still within the German lines. Throughout the night he found no opportunity to return to his own people. He had wandered almost to Chateau Chehery and he saw the retreating enenly blowing up ammunition dumps near Fleville. From the light of these flames he could see other ammunition dumps near by and he noted these to be located on the map when he might have the opportunity of seeing it again. Just before daylight, Ristine found himself near a field through which ran an untrimmed hedge. He crawled under the rows of the hedge and crept stealthily forward until he found a place from which he could watch both sides. Then he made himself as comfortable as he could to spend the day.

34 C COMPANY

There he la\' all day long. Along the road from Apreniont, which he could see on his right, a German battery of four cannon came and took position not far from the hedge. After that several machine gunners also took position in the open field. They made emplacements in little fox holes and stuck branches of hedge brush up in front of them. Ristine had an excellent opportunity that day to observe the work of German artillery and machine guns. Twice during the day he heard sounds from the American lines which were full of meaning for him. He heard the tanks enter Baulny and he heard the American guns open. This showed him the artillery had come forward. Some of the shells fell near to Ristine and while the Ger- man artillery was not hurt, one shell got a fair hit on a machine gun emplacement. When night came he had a good idea of his position and as soon as it was thoroughly dark he crawled out of the hedge and started down the main National Fleville highway. He passed several artillery emplacements and an occasional soldier, but was never challenged. The German overcoat doubtless served him well. Finally he saw the River Aire, but between him and the river was a heavy band of barbed wire. In climbing over it some of the rotten posts broke, once a machine gun traversed across the top of the wire and another time flares were sent up. Each time he lay still and finally crossed the wire and slipped down into the river. It was too deep to wade and he was afraid to try to swim it. Although an athlete, he was much weakened as he had had no sleep for yi hours and very little food. After three attempts to wade, he finally found a tree which had

been felled across the river, walked over it and so reached a brigade headquarters of the 28th Division. On the morning of September 28, Ristine was in the German lines, but that was unknown to the other officers of the regiment. Captain Brown, Regimental Adjutant, was dead, many other officers were wounded and the Regimental Headquarters was virtually wiped out. Every batallion had suffered heavily, the 3rd battalion was commanded by a Lieutenant, the ist Battalion was commanded by a Captain, but he had only one officer for each company. Rieger still held his second battalion together. Through the tangle of Alontrebeau Wood Rieger pushed slowlv ahead. There was much enemy infantry and many machine gunners, but despite the oppositions he finally reached the upper edge of the wood, where he dug in at night. In Montrebeau Wood, Colonel Americus Mitchell appeared, looking for the 139th Regiment which he was to command. A cold rain was falling, it was verv dark, the enemy was sullenly shelling the wood and Colonel Mitchell was unable to locate any elements of his command.

It should be remembered that throughout its part of the Ar- gonne battle, the 139th Infantry, except for a few hours, did not move, maneuver or fight as a regimental unit. Here was a unit, battalion company, platoon or squad, under its special commander doing a certain duty; yonder was another unit doing another dutv. The men fought just as gallantly and effectively on the night of

37 D COMPANY the 27th and all through the day of the 28th as they did at any other time, and the losses were very heavy. It was on September 28 that Lieutenant Everett B. Hosier met his death. This officer was new to the regiment, but had made a very good impression. He had been an athlete and sportsman in Phila- delphia when the United States entered the war. He was one of the organizers of the Philadelphia District Lawn Tennis Association and was considered probablv the best racket plaver in Philadelphia. He had applied for admission to the first officers' training camp, passed the physical examination, but was not called. He then applied for admission to the Fort Oglethorpe training camp but was not called there. Soon afterward he was drafted. In January, i<^i8, he was selected for the third officers' training camp at Camp Gordon, passed satisfactorily and was sent to France in Mav. Julv 18 he was commissioned Second Lieutenant and transferred from the 82nd Division to the 35th Division. On this day he was leading parts of two companies of the 2nd Battalion near the edge of Montrebeau Wood. The Germans, filter- ing forward threatened to surround him. He ordered his men to fall back for safety, but before this was possible for many of them, the detachment was surrounded. The last seen of Hosier he was fighting desperately with a few of his men. He was entirely surrounded by the Germans. He and this little band did not surrender, but died fighting. He was at first listed as missing, but his grave was found afterwards about 700 yards north of Chaudron Farm. Captain Dale was killed on September 2S. He was in command

Lieutenant iNIcCord on September 29 was wounded and sent to the rear. On the morning of September 30 Major Macdonald. still capable and efficient, turned over A and B Companies to Captain Williamson, connnanding the 1st Battalion of the One Hundred Thirty-ninth, and under orders of Colonel Mitchell took command of the 2nd Battalion of the 137th Infantry and formed a line just in the rear of that line held bv Stav- ton and the Engineers. He stayed with the One Hundred Thirty- seventh until the regiment was withdrawn, when he was returned to the One Hundred Thirty-ninth where he took command of his old battalion. Despite his 61 years. Major Macdonald endured great physical hardships and the pounding and wear of battle better than some of the younger men and when he came home it was as a Lieutenant- Colonel, a promotion won on the field. On the morning of September 26, the morning which, as one officer -grimly said, was "to separate the men from the boys," Cap- tain Heiny was one of many men who wondered how he was going to stand the strain. It Avas a dubious question with him. Fourdays later, after he had taken two severe wounds and had kept fighting with the forward elements at all times and had voluntarily gone forward through an enemy barrage to get information, there was not much doubt in any body else's mind as to whether he was a soldier. The morning of September 2<) dawned dark and grav on the

40 D COMPANY

Argonne battle field. A cold rain was falling steadily, and the hungry troops were soaked and chilled. The dreary untended field which lay between the northern edge of Montrebeau Wood and the town of Exermont was most desolate and repelling. The 35th Division was ordered to take Exermont and push as far beyond as it could. The Corps' orders transmitted to General Traub said specifically the troops must advance w-ithout regard to the division on either side. The division's front already made a salient in the enemy's line and further pushing forward of this salient meant that the advancing troops w^ould receive fire not only from their front, but from both flanks. The division was a division in name only now. Brigade and Division Headquarters had almost ceased to function. The effectives in charge of the direction of the troops were the regimental, battalion and company organizations. What semblance there was to the 70th Brigade Headquarters was only what had been willed to it by Gen- eral Martin, a master organizer, when he was relieved just before the battle. The 35th Division was, in effect, a number of small units, companies, battalions and regiments, waging little individual wars against a well organized and w^ell directed enemy. The higher command, which should have held together and directed the eff'orts of these smaller bodies as a unit, had lost its cohesion and had ceased to be a factor. Exermont never was much of a town and the intense desire for it in the high command of the American Armv was because of its

41 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin^

D COMPANY

position and ihe fact that it had l)ecn strongly fortified by the Ger- mans. It blocked the way. For its further defense the enemy had brought into it since the beginning of the Argonne Battle, large num-

l)ers of veteran machine gunners. ' These were in the prepared em- ])lacements in the town and scattered over the open tield between Montrebeau Wood and the Exerniont Ravine. The first to make the attempt on Exermont was Major Kalloch with about 125 men, mostly of the 137th Infantry. Kalloch was beaten back and his command was virtually destroyed. He left his dead and wounded on the field. After him came Major James Rieger, a devout man, who was not in the custom of spending his Sunday mornings in such a scene. His battalion had sulTered heavy losses, for it had been through all the fighting at Vauquois Hill, the Bois de Rossignol, at the taking of Charpentry, Baulny and Chaudron Farm and the Montrebeau \Vood. 'fhose unwieldy French names for places were hardlv known to us then, but they will live in history as long as Missourians and Kansans read of martial deeds and revere their soldier dead. The little dots on the map of France were that day passing from the obscurity of rural villages, to the blaze of flame in the Midlands of America thousands of miles across the sea. Rieger formed the remnants of his battalion behind Montrebeau

Wood, intending to pass through it for the sake of the shelter it would give against enemy fire, and to advance directly from its upper edge towards Exermont. Colonel Nuttman, commanding the brigade met him just as he was entering the wood and insisted that Exermont lay "that way," pointing due east. Rieger assured his superior of-

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 42 iiiiiiiiiiiimnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinm^

D COMPANY

ficer that he was wrong. Nuttman insisted that he was right and gave a direct command to move in the direction indicated. Rieger was thereby compelled to pass to the right of Montrebeau Wood and thus expose his command to the enemy fire for a much longer space of time. Naturally he got many additional casualties because of this. It was broad daylight when he turned the last protecting corner of Montrebeau Wood and faced across the open ground. The field ahead of them was thick with machine gunners, placed there during the night, rifle fire from every protection was brought to bear on the attacking troops, artillery from three sides pounded them. Rieger's men had been without warm food for four days. They were chilled with the rain and they were extremely tired because of the constant work of battle. So heavy was the fire from the front that men were seen to turn their faces from it while still advancing, as one will do in a gale of wind. The command was '"Forward." There was no barrage and if General Berry's artillery was aiding the infantry, the infantry did

not know it. That was the General Berry who spent so much time at Camp Doniphan trying to get rid of Major Rieger, and this was the Major Rieger that stayed. Both had reached the day of supreme trial. Across the open field the worn infantr\- went, the losses growing heavier every minute. Across the little valley of Exermont and the creek. Fairly against the town they charged and they took it, grimly killing the enemv machine gunners at their guns, and bombing the

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin 43 D COMPANY dug outs with awful thoroughness. Through the town they passed and to the heights heyond. There they dug a hne and held it. and there the 2nd BattaUon, the 139th Infantry and the 35th Division reached the height of their glory. Captain badly in McQueen was wounded Exermont ; Lieutenant McManigal was shot through the chest and with Private Joe Simpich lay three days without care or attention. This story has been told in detail in the first chapter of "From Vauguois Hill to Exermont." Of all of McManigal's detachment in the desperate move on Exermont, Leroy Moss, who did as much fighting as anyone else. was the only man who was not either killed or wounded. Not far behind Rieger came Delaplane with part of the One Hundred Fortieth, making firm and sure the American occupation of Exermont. On the field behind these advanced units, in Montrebeau Wood, about Chaiidron Farm and on both sides of it. the troops were suffering as the result of confused orders and loss of capable officers. On our right. Colonel Walker commanding the 69th Rrigade had ordered two advances and a retirement. Ristine, again with his own division, reached that part of the field as the troops were coming back. He tried in vain to stop what elements he met. declaring he had later orders from high authority that the whole division was to advance and support the forward troops. Fie was too late, but if there had been another like him the farthest advance might have been held. Colonel Walker's message ordering a withdrawal an

patrol from Colonel ]\Iitchell reached Exerniont about the same time. Delaplane evacuated the town and fell back slowly and in order. Be- hind him came Rieger's outfit fighting constantly over the ground they gave up. On three sides of him the enemy pressed forward with infantry and automatic riflemen. Rieger's splendid rear guard action brought his outfit safely back to the Engineer's line. An act of merit and justice which followed was the promotion of Rieger for gallantry in action. He was always loved by his men for his unfailing kindness and humanity, and this reward of his bravery and skill in battle thrilled every heart. The widespread belief that the armistice would end the war for the I3gth Infantry was soon disproved. The winter of 1918-19 in the Commercy area was a most dreary one. The army command thought it would try to make soldiers out of the men. The riddled ranks were filled with replacements and beautiful military prol)lems were worked out in the rain and mud. The men were as a rule in unhealed billets, hay lofts and the like, and there was the chronic shortage of clothings. Colds and pneumonia grew alarmingly and Major Smith and Col. Ristine wrestled unceasingly with the Divisional command to have the drill hours reduced and to give the men a chance to keep their health. Each man was entitled to a razor. The requisition for them had been sent in at Doniphan, and they finally were received, after many urgings, after the armistice. Though the men were cold, wet and for long periods unbathed, they must be clean shaven.

The Regimental Sanitary Officer was Captain Earl Ristine, a brother of the Colonel, and the excellent condition in point of sanita- tion the regiment had is the highest testimonial to his efficiency. He had been a director of playgrounds in Chicago before the war and was especially well qualified for the task of directing regimental athletics. Chaplain Collins doubtless was an excellent Chaplain, but the regiment remembers him as a soldier. He had been the Regimental Chaplain of the old 3rd Kansas and was with the One Hundred Thirty-ninth throughout all its activities. He would have been just as successful as a connnander of a company. He always found his duties led him to the front line. Major Smith was the Regimental Surgeon. He had served through the Spanish American War as a surgeon with Funston and throughout his service with the One Hundred Thirty-ninth he exposed himself with reckless daring whenever he could work more effectively with the wounded. Much of the efficiency of the 139th In- fantry is due to him and the manner in which he handled the medical and sanitary business of the regiment. All that Conmiercy area period is best forgotten. No outfit was gladder than the 139th Infantry when the order came to pack up and move to Le i\Ians. They sailed for home proved soldiers of the greatest war, they took their parades and marched under the welcom- ing banners with the same step that they had crossed the Hinden- burg line, and the fields of the Chaudron Farm. They got out of the armv as quickly as they could and went home to mother and hot biscuits.

January 1st, 1919, General Ord^ Nc

1. The Regimental Commander takes great pride and pleasure in citing General Orde preciation of the courage and devotion to duty of the following named officers and enlisted men for gallantry under fire during the six days battle from September 26th to October 1st, 1918. On the morning of September 26, Ueutenant Colonel James E. Rieger, 138th Infantry (then Major, 139th Infantry) with his battalion, made the frontal attack on the heights of Vauquois, capturing this almost impregnable position in forty minutes. Reorganizing his battalion he pushed forward and on the evening of September 27th, without regard for his own safety, personally led the charge into Charpentiy with such speed and dash that a large body of the enemy were cut oflf and captured. This advance required wading the Aire River, passing through an artillery barrage and heavy machine gun fire. He par- ticipated in every advance, encouraging the men by words and deeds. He, with his battalion, captured the foremost point reached by the Division. Unexcelled in soldierly qualities, admired and respected by his fellow officers, and loved by the men with whom he fought, this officer has set a high example of leadership. Lieutenant Colonel Clay C. Macdonald was formerly Division Postmaster. During the Argonne offensive there were many casualties of Field and other officers. Lieutenant Colonel Macdonald (then Major) came forward and asked to be assigned to the firing line. He was assigned to command a battalion of the 137th Infantry. He took charge with courage and determination, successfully accomplished a difficult mission of reorganizing this battalion and holding the left end of the Divisional sector. This officer is sixty-one years of age, and has been cited in Division orders for his work in the Argonne offensive. Major Henry D. Smith, Regimental Surgeon. 139th Infantry: all through the Argonne offensive Major Smith fearlessly exposed himself to heavy enemy artillery and machine gun fire in order to search out and relieve the suffering of the wounded men. On September 29th and 30th, he established his first aid station in Baulny, which was under severe artillery fire, and maintained it there, in order that he might the sooner give first aid to the wounded. During a strong enemy counter-attack when it seemed probable that the enemy would retake Baulny, and some special units were packing up preparatory to going to the rear. Major Smith said that he was going to stick there and care for those wounded men if they were all captured. This officer was recommended for promotion. Calm and cool under fire, Major Samuel G. Clarke, 139th Infantry, commanding the First Bat- talion, set a splendid example to his men. Several times when his battalion was held up by machine gun fire. Major Clarke went forward in advance of his lines to better direct the movement of his men. On September 27 while performing this highly important and very dangerous work he was severely wounded. and with fo gun bullets in his body of hi: fused to go to the until ordered to do so by the offic n ended for promotion. On Septer 27 Major Randall Wilson (then Captain) was given the difficult and highly ini- portant maintaining combat liaison with the 28th Division, which was operating of the 35th Dii

Major William C. Williamson (then Captain) while commanding th •irst Battalion. 139th In- fantry, on September 29 and 30, took an advanced position north of Bau near the north edge of .Montreheau Woods, organized and held said position so as to allow an adv; e force to retire, and defeated two counter-attacks made by the enemy, this was done under continuo artillery and machine gun fire. On September 30, while in command of said battalic he reorganized a defens Farm and defeated a determined enemy attack. In order to get food up to his regiment Captain C! rles J.

In the Argonne fight on September 28, this company took 22 wagon loads of rations to the front lines. The roads over which they must pass were heavily shelled by the enemy. Nineteen of their horses were killed enroute and five wagon tongues shot off from their wagons. The wagons had to be ])ushed by hand the latter part of the way, but they would not quit, and the 22 wagons containing seven days' rations for 4,000 men were delivered to Baulny, and were used to feed practically the entire Division f days.

INTRODUCTION TO ROSTER

When the idea of publishing a history of th 139th Infantry was first agreed upon, personnel ad- jutants, company commanders were instructed to mat up rosters to be used in this history. These rosters were to contain the name of each man who had bei a member of the organization, his rank, home address and his previous service record and his service I the Great War. The editor of this history has ob- I, tained such rosters and they are published I th from the following companies: A, B, C, E. F, H, K, L, M and Supply Company. These rost e believed to be nearly complete and to convey all the mformation for which they were designed.

The roster of D Company was made up July 19, 191S. The special history i if it had been made, cannot be found. The G Company not dated but it appears to h en made up dur in Alsace. The Machine Gt npany ster is dated August 18. 1918,

Mess not a member of the raiding party, voluntarily left his combat gronp, and, passing through the enemy barrage of artillery and machine gun tire, went to the rescue of a private soldier, who, wounded and crippled, had become entangled in the wire. Successful in reaching the wounded man, he himself was fatally wounded while assisting him to cover.

This brave and unselfish act, which ended a most promising career, is only an incident in this great world's struggle, but it serves to show that in the desperate hour of need the officer and enlisted man fight shoulder to shoulder in the brotherhood of arms.

September 25th. 1918. Battalion was located in woods about 12 kilometers South-east of Vauquois. At 10:00 A.M. our Battalion Commander notified us that in a few hours we were to take part in an offensive against one of the German's strongest positions and that we should make necessary preparation and hold ourselves in readiness. Immediately we had 12 men to report to us from each Company, making a total of 48 men, to act as litter bearers. There being no arm bands for these men, we quickly improvised one for each man out of an old blue blanket, stating specifically to them what their duties were to be and what was expected cf them, at the same time going over various ways of administering first aid. We then took the personnel of each Company separately and talked to them for one hour, going over the methods of checking hemorrhage and administering first aid. This was done to freshen their memories, as thev had been given lectures along these lines numerous times. In talking to them we would draw an imaginary picture of every conceivable wound and then have them apply first aid, first on themselves and then on others, all the time assuring them of the necessity of keeping a good cool head. This all paid a large dividend, as was proven by the number of men that were wounded and reported to Aid Station with their wounds dressed in fine shape, either by themselves or by a companion laying close thereby, requiring only the necessity of evacuation. We then took our enlisted personnel for one hour, having them adjust various splints and administer first aid to various imaginary wounds, equipping all but two of them with two shell dressing cases (improvised by using empty gas mask covers) containing 50 dressings. The other two were carrying 100 doses of Anti-Tetanic Serum, all that was available at the time. We then assigned two of our men to each of the Companies, instructing them of their duties and positions. At 4:00 P.M. we received an order to move at 6:00 P.M. and take up our position which was just back of the front line trenches, one kilometer South of Vauquois in an old orchard. Right here we wish to state that there was not a single man in this Battalion but what knew this Battle was coming off in a very few hours and we are pleased to state that not a single one of them presented himself at the Infirmary with any form of sickness. At 6:00 P.M. sharp we swung down the road in column of squads, marching in this formation for six kilometers, then in column of twos for four kilometers and into our position at 2:00 A.M. Sept. 25th, there waiting to perform the duties that we had so faithfully trained for during 14 long months. While laying there it started to rain and mist and a heavy fog started forming. At 4:00 A.M. we were informed bv our Major that there was a dug-out about 100 meters to our right in the trench which we could use as a First Aid Station, so there we established our first Station. At this station we evacuated only one casualty, a man from the 129th M.G.Bn., wounded in the neck by a piece nf Bosche shell. At 3:00 A.M. our barrage started and at 5:30 A.M. the Battalion went over the top. Here we wish to state that we figured it a poor policy to have only one Aid Station to the Battalion, as a direct hit by artillery would put us all out of commission, thereby leaving our Battalion in a bad way, so we there and then re- solved to have at least two and some times three stations. At 6:15 A.M. we went over the top. strung out behind our Battalion with no man closer to another than 20 meters, which was just as far as one could see in the fog. This formation was also necessary, as being spread out we could locate casualties. We advanced in this formation for 2 kilometers, only finding one casualty, that being 1st ht. Malcomb McDonald who had been instantly killed by a burst of machine gun bullets. Bv this time, 7:30 A.M.. we had taken Vaquois Hill and prisoners were being brought to the rear. We advanced about one-half a kilometer further and were held up for a time as we were then right behind our Battalion; here we established two Aid Stations, marked on map as 2A and 2B. 2A was established on the South side of a steep hill which was thought to be and also proved to be defalated. While we were informed about 11:00 A.M. that there were a great many wounded about 300 meters to our right in the woods; on looking around we noticed passing us about 30 German prisoners under guard. We explained the circumstances to the guards, stating that we needed litter bearers, and we had no trouble in getting these prisoners, after further assuring the guards that they could stay with us and in due time have the prisoners returned to them. Our Chaplain, one of the most fearless young men we saw during the entire battle, volunteered to act as foreman over the Bosche litter squads, so he gave them "about face" and into the woods they

We kcnt one behind the other, about 50 meters the Bosche would snipe at one man with their Austrian 88, named by the men "Whiz Bangs." We finally affording came to a large stone bridge over a little creek that was running like a mill race; this some protection, we waited one-half an hour standing in water up to our knees. On looking around we iioticed In up the road and to the right about 200 meters was an old stone house standing against a steep bank. three casu- this house we established Aid Station No. 9A at 10:00 A.M. From here we only took care of of artillery alties, keeping them with us as it had now become impossible to get out of here on account which one kilometer and machine gun fire. While here we watched the 28th Division take E.xermont, was to our left. At 3: JO P.M. the shelling had let up considerably, so we sent two of our men forward with instructions to locate an appropriate place for our next Aid Station. These men being gone about fifteen minutes came running back with the information that our Infantry was falling back, so we went out and looking to our right saw that their information was true. Looking to the North we could see the rea- hill son for it, as there was what looked to us to be a million Bosche coming over a about two kilometers away. Without further hesitation we took our three casualties on litters and returned to the Aid Station at St. Quenteen, which had now been acting as our Regimental Aid Station. At 9:00 A.M. I.t. Hine established Aid Station 9B at Baulny. from here evacuating 16 casualties, and then returned to St. Ouenteen. At 10:30 A.M. Herbert Stoffle, one of our personnel, who had been detailed with G Company and was serving with them on the front line, and who was afterwards captured by the Germans, came in and said that he knew where there was a dressing station with lots of wounded, but they were being taken care of; but as there were quite a few of these men, thinking that he could be of assistance, Lt. Hine with his assistant accompanied him to Chaudron Farm, where he established Aid Station No. 10, evacuating altogether 80 casualties. There, after going into a room which was about half full of wounded men and asking if there were any who had not been dressed and receiving the reply that none of them had been dressed since coming from the field, he began to work. The first two or three he dressed and tagged, then to speed up with the dressing, he quit tagging, but soon the litter bearers brought them in so fast and as he was the only medical officer there at that time, he could only devote his time to placing them. That room, which was about 75 feet long' and 20 feet wide, was filled and another room of the same dimensions and yet another and then the sheds and the barn received their portion. During this time heavy shelling was going on and the report that the line was falling back necessitated the withdrawal of several officers and men. By this means Lt. Hine sent back word of his plight with the urgent request for help and for means of evacuation. Two gas attacks were also put over, which necessitated the adjust- ing of gas masks for the wounded that had them or could be supplied. About ti o'clock of this same day Captain Randall Wilson, who was holding the line out in front and who did hold the Germans from entering the dressing station with 75 men after doggedly fighting their way twice from the very walls of the place, came and asked how they were getting along. After he found out the condition he gave Lt. Hine 50 men to help with the work of evacuating the wounded. With these 50 men 37 men were evacuated on litters, improvised litters and riding guns. Then after an actual count by Lt. Hine and Lt. John D. Heiny, Regimental Intelligence Officer, who had also been helping hold the line and who had helped with the evacuation, there remained 95 litter patients, the walking cases having been sent back upon entering the Station. This was at 10:00 P.M. September 29th, 1918. At this time Capt. Wilson came in and asked if all had been evacuated. Upon being informed as to the true state of affairs Captain Wilson said: "Hell, Doc, you have got to get these men out of here by daylight. There are only 25 men between you and the Bosche. The main line has fallen back to the top of the hill about a half mile behind you." At twelve o'clock, midnight, after deciding that there was no help coming and that something had to be done, Lt. Hine got on a mule, which was in the barn of the farm, bare backed and with a rope halter, started back to get help or protection, and if possible both. On his way back he met a Lieutenant with a detail of 50 men coming to help, but as they had no litters he took them back to the dressing station at Charpentry. There the Doctor in charge gave him 5 litters, but that was not sufficient, so Lt. Hine went to the Major in command for help. The Major. Major Gist, said that there were no litters and that ambulances could not go past Charpentrv under existing general orders. "Give me the order for the ambulances and I will go to the General and get the order removed," said Lt. Hine. "We have got to have action and I know the General will let them by." The Major wrote the order for the ambulances and the Lieutenant then started to see the General. In the square in front of the dressing station he met a boy asking for Major Gist. LTpon finding that perhaps the order was from the General and pertained to the evacuation of wounded, Lt. Hine took him to the Major. There he found that two ambulances with 7 litters were to be used for this purpose. Loading the litters, 12 in all, on the ambulances and starting the detachment of 50 men forward, they all started for the farm. The ambulances could not make it up the hill, due to the steepness and the mud, so the 50 men took the litters and the ambulances were stationed at the bottom of the hill to carry the wounded from there. Knowing that all the wounded could not be gotten out of the way by daylight and that infantry protection could not be obtained, Lt. Hine got on his mule and went to the Headquarters of the 129th Field Artillery, hoping that protection could be secured from there. The Captain in charge could not get information enough in detail so he wa^ sent to the advance observation post, which was at Balny. There he ran into a dug-out full of officers, principally Colonels, and after telling them the situation, with emphasis laid on the fact that only 25 men separated the dressing station from the Germans, he was promised a barrage across the road in front of the farm with quite heavy shell fire until all of the patients were evacuated. But his barrage was to begin at 4:30: it was then 5 minutes of four and Captain Wilson and his 25 men w^ere across the road, so Lt. Hine again mounted his mule and made it down the hill to Charpentry and up over the hill to the farm in 15 minutes flat and got Captain Wilson and his 25 men back before the barrage started. Not knowing what else to do. Captain Wilson went back to report that he had withdrawn. All followed the men back, but about 100 meters out they met four men with a litter, so Lt. Hine, his assistant and the four men with the litter went back and got 3 more wounded men. Thinking that with all the protection gone, no means available for evacuation and daylight nearly there about 45 or 50 wounded men would be found there by the Bosche when they came over looking around next morning. When the last of the three men there were being put into the ambulance Captain Wilson had reported and had been told that he was not intended to withdraw entirely, so he came up and said that they had to go back in. Captain Wilson at that time had only 12 men left, but as they went through the line where the Infantry was dug in he took 12 more men. When they took up their position again it was already daylight. Captain Wilson promised to hold off the Dutch to the last man and Lt. Hine first went to Major

163 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiy^

Smith, his Battalion Medical Commander, and he heljwd him secure Lt. Deal and about a hundred men to help. They then went back again to Major Gist and. as he had two ambulances full of litters coming, they waited and while waiting Major Gist had a cook fry up a mess pan full of pan-cakes with butter and molasses for each, which they will never forget. The litters came and Lt. Deal and Lt. Hine took the men and litters up over the hill through one of the worst shellings a hill ever got. A report that about a third of the litter bearers were being employed to carry a fellow litter bearer back later came to the dressing station. It was about 1:00 P.M. September 30th that Captain Wilson came back to find out how near the work of evacuation had been completed. There were only tv.'O Americans, who were wounded so badly that it was thought they could not live and who were unconscious, and 5 Germans left. Captain Wilson said: "Well, I have just seven men left. They are all my men and they will stay on the job to the last one." They waited until 3 o'clock and no more litter bearers came, so Lt. Hine again went for litter bearers. He went to the Lt. Colonel of the Regiment who replied: "Give him anything he wants." so he took SO men and started back to the Farm, but as he started up the hill that had been the "Waterloo" to the ambulances the night before he met 4 men carrying a German and he recognized the German as one that was in the Dressing Station. He stopped them and asked what was left and they replied that he was the last one. It was 5:00 P.M. Sept. 30th. Lt. Hine reported to his Medical Major that the job was completed. He was then sent over to Charpentry for ambulances to evacuate dressed men that had accumu- lated in the Regimental Dressing Station. No ambulances were to be had so he took a truck, but getting only about half way back and getting stuck he went back to wait for an ambulance. At 10:30 no ambulance had showed up so he went to the Major and the Major said that they had been evacuated. Work all over, Lt. Hine reposed on a litter, but one hour of slumber was enough, as he froze out. Major Rieger, the Battalion Commander, seeing him up and around invited him to share his bed, which was a 14 inch board nailed against the wall and one blanket. This they both occupied until 3:30 P.M. Oct. 1st when an orderly brought word to the Major that they were being relieved. Then came a three days march from the lines, and being nearly overcome from dysentery, bron- chitis, diarrhoea and a slight attack of gas, Lt. Hine was evacuated to a hospital. Now, going back to the remainder of the Detachment: At 5:00 P.M., Sept. 29th, we left St. Quenteen, as there was plenty of help there, going back South one kilometer and there establishing Aid Station No. 11 at the same place where we had Aid Station No. 7. On arriving we found a.bout 40 men laying asleep and on questioning them we found they represented nearly every unit in the Division and that they had become lost from their organizations. We put them in charge of a Sergeant and instructed him to take them up to the front and attach themselves to some fighting unit, as they were needed badly. Only about one-half of them had guns, but there were plenty of them laying around that had been left by men whom we had evacuated the day before, also plenty of ammunition. So we soon had them all equipped and off they went without hesitating. The spirit of the men at all times was something wonderful; on numerous occasions we would find small groups of men lost from their organizations and on ex- plaining to them that they should attach themselves to the first unit they found, they would cheerfully go forward and do so. All they wanted was just some one to suggest what to do and they were always found ready and willing. At no time did we see a ntan going to the rear unless it was to perform a specific duty that required going there. We did not evacuate a single medical case during the entire battle. We were not bothered by a single malingerer. One peculiar incident while here was that a young man was brought in on a litter with a machine gun wound in left arm and left leg and while dressing his wounds I noticed that his skin felt c|uite hot and I said to him: "Young man, do you feel as though you had some fever, or do you feeljbad any other way?" He replied: "Doctor, my throat has seemed a little sore for a couple of days." On examination I found a typical diphtheritic membrane over each tonsil and onto the uvula. I said to him: "Why didn't you report to a Doctor?" He replied: "I was not very sick; besides I wanted to stay here in the drive with the rest of the boys, and I was afraid if I saw a Doctor he would send me back to a hospital."
