August, 1917, to November, 1918

INTRODUCTION

IN the early part of December, 1918, the Division Commander, Major GeneralHale, at a conference at Morlitigny-le-Roi, expressed his desire that the several

organizations of the division take steps to properly record their history. An orderon this matter soon followed, and it is in compliance with this order that thefollowing history or story of the 103rd Infantry has been written. Primarilyits purpose is to record the events, the actions, and the facts, concerning theregiment from the time of its incorporation as a part of the 26th Division throughthe close of the war. This primary purpose would be satisfied by a very fewpages of statistics and data, but it is thought that something more should begiven; for, just as any history would be dull if it contained nothing Ibut dates,places, figures, and names, in the same measure would this story of the 103rdInfantry be dry and uninteresting if the circumstances, the life, and the atmos-phere surrounding the events should be omitted. .....

As a glance at the index shows, the history is divided irntq i our main partsfollowing in natural sequence; first, a brief sketch of the INa ial Guard unitswhich formed the regiment, their mobilization at Westfield anc the departureof the regiment overseas; second, the period of preliminary instruction includingthe time of debarkation in France and entrance in the lines; .third, the period ofpractical instruction, covering the operations on the Soissons and Toul fronts;and fourth, the period when the division had become a combat unit and covering

the Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel, and Verdun, or Meuse-Argonne offensives.

The phrase "natural sequence" is believed to be used advisedly. 'The first para-graph of our Infantry Drill Regulations states the object of military training.tobe as follows: "Success in battle is the ultimate object of all military training;success may be looked for only when the training is intelligent and thoroud."Not until the regiment had passed into this stage of being a combat unit,,en

put to the practical test of offensive warfare, and been successful, had this objectbeen attained.

Each of the preliminary stages was important; to each period will be giventhe consideration it deserves and, though relativAly speaking, all of the eyttssince August, 1917, are so near in point of time as to preclude a distant ierspec-tive, which might result in the omission of some details, this lack or error syuldbe more than counterbalanced by the fact that now is the time when the souircesof information are best available. In regard to this matter,of information, itshould at the outset be understood that officers and men throughout the iregimenthave been called upon to assist, and have assisted, in compiling such facts as arehere recorded, and to them are due more than "the customary acknowledgments."

CHAPTER I

THE MOBILIZATION AND ORGANIZATION .OF THE REGIMENT

N an evening Transcript of October, 1917, an editorial entitled "The New Eng-land Division" and written after it was known in the states that the division

had arrived safely in France, reads in part as follows: "What a brave story itwill make sometime! Little by little now, but perhaps sometime grandly andepically, the record of the assembling and departure and arrival of the NewEngland Division will be made. We must be content with glimpses. The oldand famous organizations are all there, blended in a new and solid mass, thearmed front of the universal Yankee nation."

In no regiment in the division was this blending of organizations better exem-plified than in the 103rd. Originally it had been intended that the 103rd Regi-ment should be made up entirely of Maine men; but due to the haste with whichthe New England troops were mobilized it was impracticable and impossible tobring to Westfield a complete regiment. jThe result was that when finally or-ganized to strength, there were men from Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,Massachusetts, and Rhode Island in the regiment.

It will be well to go back and see briefly what these different state units, "theold and famous organizations," had been doing. War was declared on April 6.The Border Service was but a memory; the National Guard troops had all beenmustered out shortly after their return from the South. But now a real andvital situation presented itself; would the National Guard meet the crisis; would itbe able to recruit up to strength, and how soon, for time was an important element?The answer was proved by the fact that the 26th Division was not only the firstNational Guard division to be sent to France, but the first complete division -Regular Army or National Guard - to arrive in France; it must not be forgotten,however, that the first division (Regular Army) had come to France in June.

The foundation on which the 103rd Regiment was built was the 2nd Maine,Colonel Frank M. Hume of Houlton commanding, headquarters of the regimentbeing at Augusta. The Maine men had returned from "the Border" (the Mexi-can affair) in October, 1916, and been mustered out November 25, 1916. April 12,1917, they were called out again; war had been declared the week before, andthere were some fears as to what form of trouble, Germans or German sympa-thizers might start. Without the regiment being mobilized as a whole, the differ-ent companies were assigned to guard duty, - bridge heads, railroads, etc.,throughout the state. At this time, in April, the average strength per companywas sixty-five men. During April and May the companies were recruited up to100 and in June ordered to muster up to a strength of 150 per company, 2002 to aregiment. Early in July the regiment assembled at Camp Keyes, Augusta,Maine. The work of recruiting had gone forward; the response to the call wasremarkable; the regiment was the first white regiment in the country to be re-cruited up to the then required strength of 150 men per company. In June onebattalion known as the Recruit Battalion of six companies (100 per company),Major Southard commanding, was already receiving training.

August 5 saw the regiment mustered into the Federal Service. Meanwhiletraining had been taken up through July and continued to the time of departurefor Westfield, the nineteenth of August. In passing, credit should be given to.Colonel Hume, Colonel Parkhurst, and Captain Ashworth for their untiringefforts as recruiting officers.

In the regiment as it left Maine there was slightly under fifty per cent of themen who had had previous service. In the ranks there was a good percentageof college men, about six hundred, who were either graduates of or students inMaine colleges. Such then was the foundation to which were subsequently addedat Camp Bartlett, Westfield, detachments from other NewEngland regiments.

The new organization called for regimental strength of 3600, and it was fromthe 1st New Hampshire that the largest percentage of the deficiency was drawn.The 1st New Hampshire, Colonel Healy commanding, with headquarters atManchester, was called out July 25, 1917, and assembled at Camp Keyes atConcord July 27. The companies had been recruited to strength of 150 per com-pany before going to Concord.

The regiment was mustered into Federal Service August 5, 1917. The NewHampshire men had been on the border also. At the time of the mobilization atConcord the regiment was greatly handicapped by shortage of clothing andequipment. Though details had been sent ahead to prepare the camp groundthere was much left to do even after its arrival in the way of clearing the site ofbrush, trees, and stumps, so that the actual instructions in drill which many ofthe men received prior to arrival at Westfield was very limited. The regimentcame to Westfield August 27 and was at once split up by the sending of replace-ments to the 103rd and 104th Infantry Regiments. Among the officers assigned to the103rd were Captains Edes and Walker, Lieutenants Taylor, Burnett, Nye, Twitch-ell, and Cochran. The number of men assigned to the 103rd Regiment was 1500.

Next in order of number of men contributed came the Massachusetts organiza-tions. All of the old Massachusetts regiments, the 2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th were ofcourse absorbed by the 26th Division, but it was from the 6th and 8th principallythat most of the men assigned to the 103rd came. The Massachusetts regimentshad not been called out simultaneously. The 2nd :and 9th were called inMarch or April for guard duty, the 8th not until July 25. The different regimentshad been mustered up to 150 men per company before arrival at Westfield;possibly fifty per cent of Massachusetts men had seen border service.

The 8th, Colonel Perry, commanding, had on being called out July 25 goneinto camp at Lynnfield, leaving there August 20 for Westfield. On arrival atWestfield detachments were sent away for guard duty at Springfield, and it wasthese guard detachments largely which were taken by the 103rd, for the organiz-ing of the 104th had been going forward, absorbing most of the Massachusetsmen who had been sent to Camp'Bartlett.

The 1st Vermont Infantry, Colonel Thomas commanding, was called out in

5

April, though not as a regiment, certain companies being put on guard duty. Notuntil June 30 was the regiment mustered as a regiment at Fort Ethan Allen, whereit remained until the latter part of August.

From Rhode Island the smallest contingent was received into this regiment.The Rhode Island Squadron of Cavalry (Troops A, B, and C), Major Robertscommanding, was called out July 25, 1917, assembled at Quonsett Point, andmustered into Federal Service August 5, 1917. The squadron had been recruitedup to strength, 105 per troop prior to being mustered in, but: before leavingRhode Island was dismounted. On arrival at Westfield the troops were cut downto sixty-two each, those men being retained who had experience as machinistsor truck drivers, and who would be available for Supply Train work. The bal-ance, forty-three from each troop, were assigned to the Depot Brigade, and fromthere to Machine-Gun Battalion and Infantry. Forty-three men from Troop Bwere the only men assigned to the Infantry.

At the time when all these different units were being assembled, it looked likea considerable task to bring order out of chaos. Would the experiment workout, this blending and mixing of units?

On August 22, 1917, the 103rd Infantry came into existence as a new regiment,a regiment which within five weeks from its organization was to go overseas.Two things contributed to make this possible: efficient organization, whichmeans promptness and thoroughness and cooperation and the spirit "We're goingover" which spread from the Division and Brigade commanders down to themen in the ranks.

By the first of September it was no longer a question of man power, but ofclothing and equipment; by September 15 this problem had been pretty wellsolved. It must be remembered that under the new organization, 250 men percompany, the single company was nearly as large as the old battalion. This hadpresented another problem - shortage of officers - for even the companieswhich had come to Westfield as complete units had only three officers in mostcases. To meet this difficulty (tables of organization called for six officers percompany) the War Department assigned a number of Reserve Officers to the26th Division and, pursuant to a Division Order, thirty-three Reserve Officersreported to the 103rd September 1, 1917.

Before going on to the next step, the embarkation of the regiment, a few re-marks about Camp Bartlett should be entered. Situated about two miles northof Westfield on "Hampton Plain," as the region is known, the location chosenfor the 52nd Brigade by its commander, General Cole, was an excellent one.The main electric line, Westfield to Holyoke, divided the camp; on the right oreast lay Brigade Headquarters, the camp of the 103rd Infantry, 103rd Machine-Gun Battalion, the Maine heavy artillery, and several other units; on the leftor west was the camp of the 104th Infantry and the Depot Brigade. All of thetroops were under canvas, and the grounds presented a striking appearance.

To the north lay Mount Tom and to the north and west the foothills of the Berk-shires. It was an ideal spot. For the 103rd there was ample drill and paradeground which had been policed and cleared of brush by the first units arriving.Each night at retreat the battalions in rotation held evening parade. This wasusually well attended by friends and relatives of the men in camp. Except duringprescribed hours the camp was closed to visitors. Discipline was excellent.Football and baseball during spare hours helped to raise morale in the companiesand regiment and build up the proper esprit-de-corps.

As the different units arrived and were settled, intensive training was at oncetaken up, and a good foundation layed for the further training which was tofollow in France. Ideal fall days with cool, clear nights made for good healthand good work.

On September 24 the first elements of the regiment started the move for "some-where over there." Every effort was made to prevent the spreading of informa-tion as to when and where the division was to embark; this was a necessary pre-cautionary measure for the menace of submarines was an actual one. To a largedegree the policy of secrecy was successful. To quote again from the Transcript:"It is now permitted to record the arrival in France of the New England Divisionof the National Guard which, without a word of press chronicle except a furtiveand almost unconscious betrayal of one regiment's departure from Framingham,

sailed from American ports in September and in early October, and which beforethe end of October had all safely arrived in France.

"It was in reality a strange episode in our history, that this little army repre-senting the cream of young New England manhood, the equal and equivalent ofthat brave band who departed from our cluster of oldest States in 1861, withsound of trumpets and proud exultations then, should have gone forth now with-out a word, without the beat of a drum, while at the same moment we were payingendless attention to the small details of the organization in the draft camps ofthat slower army, which will not depart on the same road for months to come.In the camps of concentration, the little groups of relatives of the young soldiersassembled upon private notice and marched with them in silence to the station,standing while the trains rolled forth in darkness on an unknown way. Themoment was epic, and will live in our history: But then the great world knewit not at all."

Such was the outsider's point of view of the departure. The men in the ranksknew even less as to the where and how; whether the trains that left from thesiding out there at camp were headed for Boston, Portland, Montreal, or NewYork, they did not know.

Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters Company, and the 1st Battalionleft Westfield on September 25, and on arriving at Harlem Station were imme-

diately ferried to the pier where they boarded the Celtic. The 2nd Battalionboarded the Saxonia and the 3rd Battalion the Lapland. The ships did not leaveNew York at the same time. The convoy wAs to assemble, as events later proved,at Halifax.

The trip out of New York and up the coast to Halifax where the convoy as-sembled September 29 was uneventful. Possibly the men were really a littleserious, realized that they were on their way "over there." Consciousness ofthis must have loomed large when that first hospital ship with its huge red crosspainted on sides and smoke stacks was seen in Halifax harbor. It was wonderfulto see that column of vessels, nine or ten, file out from Halifax just before sun-down; it was still better to be "of them." The band on board the Celtic struckup "Hound Dog," and cheers went up not only from our vessels but from othersin the harbor. The Lapland lay over until 11 P. M. to coal; to the men on boardher it was particularly given to review and witness the spectacle of that file ofvessels going east into the dark, bearing some of the United States "first hundred-thousand," yes, first fifty thousand; they ought never to forget, and probablynever will, the significance of that hour.

A call had come from the fields of France, had been heard, and was beinganswered.

xwere at liberty to ask que'stions and take notes. The exercises Itastedl until netrlydark. After they were over, our officers were asked by the French officers tocome up to the battalion mess. It xwas all done in a very casual sort of a way.One entered a large room in the center of which was a long table fairly ablazewith candles. The glasses reflected the light; there were plates of sweet cakes;

champagne was liberally laid out on the table. At the head of the table wereGeneral Cole, Colonel Bertrand, Colonel me, Commandant Roy, and on

either side the oficers, French andl American,tmingled with the best of fellow-ship. At the word given by Colonel Bertrand, orderlies filled thc glasses andColonel Bertrand proposed a toast to the lt0rd. Very simplylie expressed hispleasure at being able to help anil instrutct. lie w elcotnedl the officers and regi-ment as comrades in arms. It wxas all done as a French officer and gentleman

knows how to do such'l things, awl left a happy ttetiitv with those wh Io werethere. Liffol had welcotned and received the reginit to its homes. ColonelBertrand had extendledlehiatid(if fellowship anil welcote to his camp fires.

CHAPTER V

THE TOUL FRONT

BEFORE passing on to the successive movements and operations in thissector, it would be well to call attention to the general situation and im-portance of this area. Northwest of Toul was the threatening St. Mihiel salientwhose apex was at St. Mihiel. From there the line ran generally east to Pont-A-Mousson, thence southeast. Commercy, Toul, and, most important, Nancywere all cities against any of which the enemy might well launch an offensive.The lines had been stabilized for some time along this front, though in no sensewas it a quiet front, as the enemy activities against the 26th Division during itsoccupancy bore witness, - Seicheprey, Bois Brule, and Xivray-Marvoisin allbeing the scenes of successive operations.

In spite of the apparent stabilization of the lines, the French were very activein the rear areas, building up their defense, and during the regiment's tour inthe area our men were often required to work on both front-line and rear posi-

tions. There was a general feeling that a drive.was soon to be made against "trench warfare" applied closely. In this respect there was a difference fromNancy. the front line on the Soissons front. There was a great variance, however, in

The occupation of this area or part of it by the 26th Division was a lengthy the matter of distance between the enemy line and the American line; on theone covering nearly three months. It is not the writer's intention to cover in extreme left the lines were very close, but north of St. Agnant there weredetail each particular subsector or center of resistance occupied by the regiment stretches where the lines were a kilometer or more apart. This was a matterduring this long period, but rather to give a general impression of the work done, dependent upon the nature of the terrain.paying attention of course to the important events which did occur. There is Though the division was operating under the 32nd French Corps - Generalsubtended a schedule of the places and periods of. occupancy of the different Passaga commanding the corps - American troops were in the lines "on theircenters of resistance by battalions. This with reference to the sketch will bring own," and the sector was an American sector. The lessons learned at Soissonsback many of the incidents pertaining to individuals. were furthered here. Artillery and machine-gun fire was considerably more

of this division during the period of the war in which the enemy failed to getprisoners.

But it was a costly day - Company I was the heaviest loser, with elevenkilled and thirty-five wounded. The Machine-Gun Company attached to thebattalion suffered badly - also Company F on the right and L on the left. Ourmen had been tried and not found wanting. It was a day which gave confidenceto all, and though our losses were heavy the gain in morale was of great value-insubsequent actions when engaged not merely in the holding of a line but inoffensive action. So one step farther had been taken and gained - confidencein arms and men.

Shortly after, the regiment was relieved and moved back to Toul the 27th and28th for the next operation. Here again, rumor, that friend and enemy playedfalse - for it was hinted that the fourth of July would see the division onparade in Paris. But those were not parade days for combat troops. A callcame from another field, and the division answered it at ChAteau-Thierry.

A WO(REI) of i1ietiicis olnes to 111111XXit i t lie two words,-Ch lteau-SThierry. And right ly, for t here the tide wXas t urned, and wXith ever-increas-

ing force to the very end, on Noveiider 11, that tidle rolled back the German

ariiiies and brought victory to thle Allies.Tihe eves of the world were first focused on Chat eau-Thierry when, those last

dlays of M~ay and the mionthi of Juiie, (lisaster seemned to face uts andl the 2ndc

Divsio s nolyplaedits part inid bocking the threat enedl brenclh and regain-ing some of the groundl lost. But there is a still greater significance for men of

the 2th Division and the 103rd Infaiitry, andl that is that they launched the

counter attack of July 18, wXhich electrified thle wXorl, which, t lanks to lochl'sgenius, turn (II an cnuny victory to a rout, broke clowXn the morale of Germany,and wXas the heginning of a fairer day.

What was the general situtation'? Quoting from an article in IJatj)(r's ofDecember, 1918 ( I arshall loch amnd the Second Victory of the Marne"''byRaymond Recouly) :

"The German ainmy, mightily strengthened in morale as well as materiallythrough the defection of Russia, and in full Ipossession of all its resources andmeans of offense, fell upon the English with terrific force on the '21st of March,1918, and upon the French on the 27th of May.

"The third German onslaught was on the 15th of July, when Ludenidorffthrew all his forces against the Allied lines, from Cliteau-Thierry as far as theMain d~e Massiges, to the east of Rheimas. But this time the furious assault wvasstopped short; advance was impossible except at one ploint of our center, andalmost at once Foch delivered a thrust in return wvhiich wXas irresistible and over-whelming. The French and American trioops counter-attacked on the 18th ofJuly, and from the first this counter-offensive, Xwhich took the Germans com-pletely by sturprise, wvas a lbrilliant success. The enemy, jost led and confused,abandoned a wXidle stretch of territory, losimig many thousamds of prisoners; and~as their comimunicat ions were l ireat cued they made all haste to retreat, fallingback from thle Marne, whieli thywlhad so iloprundent ly crossed, as far as thleAisne. Thus they lost nearly all the ground which they had wrestedl from its,and the great railwvay from P~aris to Nancy wXas ours again.

personally relieved the 3rd Battalion and ordered it to join the rest of the Regi-ment. The movement of the 1st and 2nd Battalions was begun immediately andbefore morning the entire regiment was assembled in the Bois de Chante Merle.

On the morning of 24th July 1918, orders were received from the 52nd Brigadeto follow the 104th Infantry in an advanced march to Trugny by way of LaSacrerie Fme. Trugny Road. This march was to be in column of squads withammunition trains following each Battalion and the Brigade Train follow in rearof the 103rd Infantry. Upon arriving in field northeast of La Sacrerie Fme.column was halted, kitchens brought up, men fed and the regiment directed tomarch to the woods near Souillard Farm, as the regiment had been relieved.This was done and at 20:00 o'clock all elements of the regiment were assembledas ordered.

Losses for the regiment were heavy. 5 officers were killed, 32 wounded. 155men were killed, 940 wounded. Many of these casualties were caused by gaswhich was used on several occasions by the enemy. In every instance, both offi-cers and men conducted themselves like veterans. Too much praise cannot begiven to our supporting and attached troops. The 51st Artillery Brigade, 103rdMachine-Gun Battalion, 101st M.G. Battalion, 103rd M.G. Co., detachmentsfrom the 102nd and 104th Field Ambulance Cos. and detachments from the 101stSignal Battalion were in a great way instrumental to our success. The Y. M. C. A.shelters were in several instances used as dressing stations and their secretariesin connection with both of our own Chaplains worked incessantly in bringing inwounded and generally cheering up the troops.

Such a report as the above does not give the human side of such an offensive,nor an idea of the natural difficulties to be overcome along with all the rest.Reference by name in conjunction with the map shows in a general way how farthis regiment went; its casualties show What that cost. The spirit of the menwas remarkable. I recall the remarks of Lieutenant Friend of the British Armywho was aboard the Lapland: "Wait until you've bled a bit, then you'll knowyour men"; and it has proven true not only at Chateau-Thierry, but in the lateroffensives. Hats off to the man with rifle on his shoulder, for if ever the Amer-ican Infantryman proved himself, it was in that week of July 18 to July 24.

There were numerous instances of bravery and of endurance. Non commis-sioned officers showed their worth and initiative, time and again taking com-mand of their platoons and carrying on. Men took all kinds of chances, andgladly, for the word came down that the drive must be carried on to the lastounce. Therein the American spirit showed itself.

In concluding this chapter on our first offensive I wish to quote again fromthe article before referred to, for the remarks summarize briefly this division'spart and what was true of the division applied to this regiment.

"The Yankee Division held the sector northeast of Chateau-Thierry betweenBussiares and Vaux, on the road from Chateau-Thierry to La Ferte-sous-Jouarre,having on its right and left two French divisions. On the 18th of July, at thirty-five minutes past four in the morning, they attacked with vigor, although some-what handicapped because their left wing was far behind the right, and thereforeforced to advance very rapidly in order to straighten their line. The village ofTorcy was carried in an hour, the Germans being taken quite by surprise; Belleauand Givry were occupied, and the railway reached. Tae fighting in Givry wasvery grim. Hill 193, which was to have been taken by the French on the Ameri-can left, held out, and the Americans were thus exposed to a heavy enfiladingfire, from which they lost heavily. At last this hill was carried, thanks to thehelp of the Americans, and the forward push went on; the villages of Epieds andTrugay were ta'ken by storm, and the division reached the road from Jaulgonne

Th'le Regimmiemit al P.(C. was miovedl forwxard t o the P.C. Clochie and shortly after1:00 o'clock, 12t I Sept. 1918, the Bat talioni Comimanders reported themselves inposition.

lie terrain in front of and imcludimg our iositions was extremiielv difficult topass over being lpittedlwith l1 trenches and covered with tangled masses of oldwire. A Ietail of Battalion Scouts nder Lieutenant Foss, the Battalion In-telligence Officer of the 2nd Battalion, worked throughout the night cutting lanesto coI~niect xxwithi the gaps in the enemire which were to be nade by ourArtillery.

The barrage started at 1:00 o'clock andl continued until S:)0 o'clock. Theone pounder Gun Platoon, 103rd Infantry rendered very valuaile assistance indemlishing Machine Gun nests in the enemy line which had previously beenlocated.

The enemy replied at first with bursts of Machime Gumi fire andl minneuxceufer,evidently expecting a raid. At daybreak all of our men were fed and hot coffeeissued.

Promptly at S:00 o'clock, following the rollimg Barrage, the 2nd Battalionwentover the top, twvo comianies in assault, deployed in waves, and 2 compaiies in

1 disuport.Little resistance vas enciumtered in the ememi front line, but when the 2nde aline s reached, heavy Machine Gun fire was emcuntered. These nests were

flamked and 7 machie guns capturedl. The advamnce (tinuedwithout checkunt il the enemy Trench " St et tin" was reached. A delay of 1 hour became neces-sarv on account of Machie Gunis. Platoons from the right and left finiallv sue-ceedled in working around them and with the aid of our oxnJMacine Gns cap-tured them.

The first hialtingplace having been reached, the Battalion w'as halted andlm-forimied. The Battalion entered the Chianot Bois. Two euey field pieces xerecalmred here. An (nemyviarrage necessitated retiring to hie Northestern edhgeof the xvoods. TIe Battalionworked around the Southvestern edge of the woodsanl reached the Dommartin-Iill 381 Road. A patrol was sent into Dommartinbut was driven back by Machine Gun Fire. Position for night xas taken up inabiandlonedl enemy trenches Southwest of Chanot Bois by the assaulting Battalionwithi the Support andReserve Iattalions about 300 and 1000 meters in the rearrespectively. The assaulting Battalion, 104th Infantry at this time crosseddlirectlv in front of our assaulting Battalion and took up its position on our right,beimig entirely out of its sector. The Comn ing Officer, 2nd Battalion, 103rdInfantry conmferredl with the Commanding Officer, assaulting Battalion, 104thlnfantry amid the latter returned to its proper lposition.

Orders wxere received at midnight, 12th-l3th Sept. 1918 to push on to Vigneulles,but these wvere subsequently changed giving us an objective of St. Maurice, wxhichplace must be reached at daybreak. As soon as possible the last order was coi-miunicatedh1ole2nid Battalion. This order reached the Battalion late, owing tothe groundlxlich had to le crossed andl the darkness of the night.

At3:.30 o'clock, 13 Sept. 1918, the advance was resumed ani soon after theBattalion xxas firedl upon by snipers and Machine Guns fromi the Forst d(l aMontague. These wvere driven hack and captured as wvell as 3 enemiy field pieces.

The enemiiv wxere apparently in full retreat, and the Battalion marched in thedirection of St. Maurice. The Battalion from the 104th Infantry again camne intoour sector andl marched over the roadl leading to St. Maurice (directly in adlvanceof our Battalion, thus slowving our advance to a great extemnt.

At 12:1)1 o'clock, 13 Sept. 1918 our leading elements reached the heights nearSt. Maurice and orders xvere received by our regiment to occupy the towvns ofBilly-suir-les-Ccites and Vieville-sur-les-Cotes, wvhich was (lnIm mmeliately.The 2nd Battalion occupiedl these twxo towxns with the 3rd andl 1st Battalions inWxoodls on the heights (lirectly behind.

Billy wxas found imi ruins having been burned by the enemny. Vieville wxas prac-tically in the same condition. During the advance about 901) prisoners xxerccapture(ll by this regimnent. Also 6-77 in/in. guns, 2-103's, 3-210's, 4-150's about60 light Machine Guns, several heavy machine guns and 1 large Mlinnenxveufer,in addition large stores of engineering material in various dlumpis in our zone of

22

advance, mny small railroad cars, a portable steam engine andl a large amiountof Quartermaster Stores.

Upon reaching the final 01j eelivc, out-posts were at once estalished andmaintainedl untille morning of the 14th Sept. 1918, wlen the regiment was re-lievedl lby the renich.

Liaison was at all times naintainedlwith elements on the left and right and tothe rear aft er tlie assault hadl fairly st arted.

Our casualties were light in comparison with what was accomiplied:17 men were c killed94 slightly xx 0 lidiole1.7 seriouslvyxx liiidedl1 otlicer slightly wounded

As has been showvn by the ahove report the losses wvere extremely light in pro-p)ortion to the results olbtainedl. The answer or reason is twofold: first, there isno (loulbt but that the enemy intended soon to wxithidraw, - his morale was there-fore lowv; and secondl, such morale as he did have wvas smashed hy the tremendouslbomlbarlnent wvbich the artillery gave him.

Gierman dugouts captured by the regiment St ptitibi 13,It was a glorious day for tbc division and for the regiment. In his withdrawal

the enemy had burned and destroyed as much as possible, but at that, great quan-tities of stores were found at Billy. Just outside of St. Maurice, the large Germanrest camp had been razd with the exception of the officers' quarters. Possibly

the enemy could not bring himself to quite such wantonness as to burn these;twxo bungalows, much like hunting lodges in the Adirondack~s, remained standing.Excellently furnished, electrically lighted, they more nearly brought us back tocivilization than anything experienced in sonmc months.

But the rcgiment's sojourn there was a short one, for it was moved back to takeovr a sector of tihe newlv gaind front, withi its first-line companies holding from

Saulx to C hampion- its support on the high ground lback of Combres and itsreserve near Les 1'sparges. Regimental Iheadlquarters were just north of St. Remv.

Though the regiment ieltl this sector but a short time, for the dlivision wasdestined to move elsewhere, it had a hard and busy time of it. Front-line com-panies, which wecre on the plain, wvere subjected to gas; the positions in rear werefrequently severely shelledl; and then, too, the support troops were kept busyreorganizing the defenses on the hills, for the intention seemed to be to hold f orthe lpresent.

tion, though the front-line companies hardlly would agree to that. Several differ-ent plans of organization were tried out before the one finally adlopted was chosen;this meant frequent changes of position and the attendant element of uncertainty.

On September 26 the 1st Battalion made an attack, known as the Riaville-Marcheville raid, "to make a demonstration to deceive the enemy . . . to be

in the nature of a dlivcrsion to conceal from the enemy the point of real attack

23

stronigly in an endeavor to check the turning movent which was being dI-vclopI)((l to the north. When this regiment took over, it occupiedl0(Gernmn

lpositions which had previously fallen, and which were in a had state of repair.The terrain was iiost dificult; hills, ravines, woods, badly shot up, to be sure,lpresented a problem of organization not oniy for the holding of the lines, but fortHe preparation of the attack to follow, such as we had never met before. Ourartillery hainioved up close, with the result that there were no positions forsupport andl reserve troops which gave satisfactory shelter and protection. Thebatteries were constantly gassed and shelled, an(l fromthe momient of the regi-rnentA's arrival iithe area, it was subjected until to the very eml to severe artil-lerv fire. It miiust be borne in mind that along the entire front not only of thisdivision but to our left, attacks were being made every day to weaken the enemylinles, and take away froma hini tie coiimading positions which hie held. Thle102nd Infantry had suffered particularly heavily during these days. By thefirst of November the situation to the north having developed favorably, itbecamfle a question of a very few (lays, if not of hours, before the thrust wNouldbe iiade fromn our owtim posit ions to break through on thme drive towards Azannes.

There lay to our front the strong positions east of Bois d'Ilaurnont, BoisI~e aurs, oisde ill, L Waville, an Iteberbois. Onl the left. Belleu Bois

hiad lut up a stubborn resistance arid continued to make our position a nosticomifortable one; but reports fromi the north gave strength to the belief that

the enemy would have to withdraw very shortly. On November 3, in com-

pliance with orders froin the (ivision, a coap-de-rnain was executed by Coi-paiy L on this regimients front against the enemy's position just east of Boisdifautinont. Orders for this raid were not received until late in the evening, butnevertheless it was mnade, its purpose being to test out whether or not the enemywere still holding ill force. I'vents proved that they were. A simultaneous raidw as to have been imade by the elemients on our right, hut for some reason wasnot. Lieit eniant -McConnell, commanding Compay L, with his comfany,which at t hat timie had been redlued to about one hundred effectives, executed

1. On November 8, 1918, the 103rd Infantry was holdinga sub-sector of the Neptune Sector with the 1st Battalion inthe front line in the C. R. Mamelle comprising the Bois .. :d'Haumont, and the 2nd Battalion in support in the vicinityof the town of Haumont. The 3rd Battalion had been at-tached to support the 157th Infantry Brigade with station inthe Ravine south of Bois Brabant-sur-Meuse.

2. There had been indications for several days that the .enemy contemplated withdrawal from this area. At 12.00 ,o'clock, November 8, the 1st Battalion, 103rd Infantry re-ported seeing 200 of the enemy with full equipment movingtowards the East. At about the same time the 104th Infantryon our left reported by telephone that 83 of the enemy fullyequipped, were moving in the direction of Flabas.

3. The 1st Battalion, 103rd Infantry was ordered immedi-ately to push out outposts in its front. These patrols enteredthe former enemy front line without resistance, whereuponthe entire 1st Battalion was ordered to take up the advance. * C .

4. At 14.25 o'clock a telephonic report was received fromthe 104th Infantry on the left to the effect that three pris-oners taken by them, stated that orders to retire had beengiven at 12.00 o'clock that day.

5. By 15.05 o'clock the Haumont woods had been cleared .by our 1st Battalion and a patrol of 18 men had reached theoutskirts of Flabas. In the meantime the 2nd Battalion, 103rdInfantry had been ordered to move up from its support pos-ition in the vicinity of the town of Haumont to the position inthe Bois d'Haumont just vacated by the 1st Battalion. The1st Battalion train was ordered to move to the foot of thehill west of Haumont, in readiness for the further advance,while the Machine Gun Carts of the Regimental MachineGun Company were assembled near Samogneux to facilitatethe progress of the movement as it developed.

6. The 1st Battalion continued its advance to the East andreached the town of Flabas just as the rear guard of the enemywas leaving, inflicting casualties upon him. At 16.30 o'clock3 platoons of the advance company had passed beyond thetown of Flabas to the wooded slope to the southeast. Thesupport companies were 500 meters to the rear. Here theywere ordered to establish themselves for the night with out-posts overlooking Damvilliers-Azannes road to which activepatrols were to be pushed out throughout the night.

7. At 2.00 o'clock on the morning of 9th November, the3rd Battalion, 103rd Infantry was relieved from further dutywith the 157th Infantry Brigade and ordered to take up' aposition in the Bois d'Haumont, 1000 meters in rear of the2nd Battalion which was in support. At 2.30 o'clock orderswere received that the 2nd Battalion would pass through the1st Battalion in the position it then held, and continue theadvance along a new line 120 degrees East of Magnetic North.

8. Accompanied by the 103rd Machine Gun Company, the 2nd Battalionpassed through the 1st Battalion and took up the advance at 7.40 o'clock followedby the 1st Battalion in support at 600 meters and the 3rd Battalion in reserve1000 meters farther to the rear. A combat Liaison group consisting of 1 officer,2 platoons of Infantry and 1 section of Machine Guns was detailed on the rightwith the 51st Infantry Brigade, and a similar group on the left was'given themission to maintain Combat Liaison with the 104th Infantry.

9. No opposition was encountered for 1-12 kilometers, when Machine Gunfire from the ridge in the Bois Comte held up the advance through the Ravin de

Map showing regiment's work in Meuse-Argonne offensive

la Vaux Hordelle. The ravine was finally crossed and the crest of the ridgereached at 9.30 o'clock, when intense Machine Gun fire from the Bois de Villeand from the left flank sweeping the top of the hill together with Minnenwerferand Artillery fire, held up the advance on the line 31.4-78.1 to 31.7-78.9. Anattempt to move forward by infiltration was repulsed by Machine Gun fire.An attempt was then made to move forward under a barrage laid down by ourown 103rd Machine Gun Company, but there was no apparent lessening of theenemy fire and this effort was also unsuccessful.

10. The support Battalion was then ordered to assist by moving a Company

'29

to the left with a view to turning the left flank of the posi-tion, but found the enemy Machine Gun fire too severe topermit Manoeuver.

11. At 16.30 o'clock another attempt was made to moveforward by combining a frontal attack of the 2nd Battalion

V O'0 with a turning movement on the right flank by another com-pany of the support Battalion, preceded by 30 minutes artil-lery preparation by 75's and 155's. For some reason thisartillery preparation consisted of only about 15 shells. Ourleft moved forward a short distance in the Ravin le Fond desVaux, where its leading elements found themselves completelychecked by Machine Gun fire enfilading them from the left.

.The flank attack on the right progressed a distance of about100 meters, when it was also held up.

a.. 12. At 19.30 o'clock, pursuant to Division Orders our troopswere directed to hold the line for the night as it then stood.

Za rnes. The Stokes Moriar and 37 m/m guns were brought forwardand established on the crest of the hill in the Bois de Comtein preparation for further advance the following morning.

) 13. On the morning of the 10th, the 3rd Battalion passeda . through to resume the attack. The 1st Battalion moved 600

meters in rear in support, the 2nd Battalion being withdrawn1000 meters farther in rear in Division Reserve. At 6.15

0 o'clock the 3rd Battalion attacked the enemy position in theSRavin le Fond des Vaux and the Bois de Ville with 3 companies

S o in the front line and I in support, preceded by a one-hour1,3 7 ;preparation by light and heavy artillery which was very wellc plaped and which materially aided the advance which pro-S gressed through the Ravine and up the steep slpeof the

Bois de Ville. At the same time, -Company K, Under Lieu-tenant Blackman successfully executed a flank movement

.: which turned the right of the position, netted 24 prisoners,S inflicted casualties on the enemy and silenced several of hisS Machine Guns and put the enemy to flight, thus enabling the

remainder of the Battalion to advance over the hill through3 the Bois de Ville.

14. Our left flank was held up for some time by reason ofthe fact that the 104th Infantry on our left was not advanc-ing. Finally the 3rd Battalion was ordered to move aheadand the Support Battalion was directed to dispose themselveswell in depth connecting with the right flank-of the 104th In-fantry, thereby keeping Liaison and also to bring flank fireupon the Tr. du Bosphore to our north, to assist the 104thInfantry in moving forward. By arrangements with theCommanding Officer, 104th Infantry, our accompanying pieceof 75 m/m Artillery was trained upon Ville devant Chaumontto assist him in taking and overcoming the resistance at thatpoint of his front.

15. At 17.00 o'clock the position of the 103rd Infantry wasas follows:

3rd Battalion had advanced to the railroad track and Azannes-BeaumontRoad. General line 32.6-78.4 to 32.8-78.35 to 32.7-78.0 to 32.55-77.75.

The 1st Battalion had 1 Company covering the exposed left flank and theother 3 companies disposed in depth as above stated.

These were ordered to put out outposts to their left interposed betweenthem and the Tr. du Bosphore; to organize the position for advance againstcounter attacks and to hold the ground gained for the night.

16. At 2.30 o'clock on the morning of the 11th, the 1st Battalion and 2ndBattalion (Reserve and Support) were ordered to move to the Eastern edge of

the Bois de Wavrille in order to attack at 9.30 the following mornig i anEasterly direction through Herbebois. Our 3rd Battalion was to remain in thefront line position already held and attack from there at the same hour in thedirection of Cbte 265. This placed all three Battalions of the 103rd Infantry inthe front line for the attack on the morning of the 11th.

17. The 2 Battalions sent to the South were in position in the Eastern edge of3ois de Wavrille at 8.45 o'clock, preparatory to jumping off at H. hour. At9.15 o'clock, 15 minutes before the attack was to start, an order was received andtransmitted, to the effect that the artillery preparation would go on as ordereduntil 11.00 o'clock but that the Infantry would not advance. At 10.35 o'clock,the order holding up the Infantry advance was revoked and they were orderedto move forward until 11.00 o'clock, when all action would cease and all groundgained would be held. Very little time remained after this order finally reachedthe troops, nevertheless they advanced from 200 to 300 meters Eastward,straightening out the line along Azannes-Beaumont road, which position theyheld at 11.00 o'clock. The 3rd Battalion to the North expended its efforts intrying to mop up the Tr. du Bosphore before advancing towards Cte 265.This was by my order and was considered necessary to the advance. The Tr.de Bosphore was too heavily manned with enemy Machine Guns, however, withthe result that no ground was gained by this Battalion.

18. One of the most important lessons of this engagement is believed to bethat at the beginning of the action much important time was lost and mucheffort wasted in attempting to maintain Liaison with neighboring units. It wasknown that the enemy was fghting a Machine Gun defense by means of a wellorganized system of small groups in fox holes. His mission was purely that ofdefense, so there was little or nothing to fear in the way of counter-attack. Eachregiment, therefore, in my opinion should have broken lpose and gone boldlyforward in its own zone regardless of Liaison. The fin d' advance of the 103rdInfantry on the afternoon of the 10th November was made in this manner.

I desire especially to commend the work of the 3rd Battalion, 103rd Infantry

Captain C. R. Cabot, Commanding, in capturing the Bois de Ville, and more es-pecially the cool-headed and aggressive work of Lieutenant Blackman who withCompany K turned the Southern flank of that position.

As has been remarked after the insertion of other operations reports, theygive the facts without embellishment, without consideration of the human sideof warfare, and that is as it should be, for sentiment can play no part in thegame.

These last few days brought out as never before that same fine spirit whichhad been shown previously, - the spirit of "we'll see it through." The finaltribute to the regiment came in the orders received on the night of the tenth ofNovember, which placed all three battalions on line to make the final attackside by side. It was a long chance, but those were days of chances.

Eleven o'clock came and then that awful silence! The armistice had beensigned and for the present there was to be a respite. But that did not meanthat caution was thrown to the winds; rather was particular care taken to prop-erly post the lines held, for we were suspicious of the enemy.

Perhaps it will not be out of place to recall here an incident which occurredon the twelfth of November and marked the climax of the war for those of usin the 103rd. Just before sundown on the afternoon of the twelfth one officerand ten men of the third battalion, who had fallen on the tenth, were buried inone large grave at the edge of Bois de Ville at the very front, for the gaining ofwhich they had given their lives. The band had come up from Verdun; the bat-talion formed a hollow square, and after the last rites were said, volleys werefired, taps sounded, and "The Star Spangled Banner," followed by the "Mar-

seillaise," was played. As the last note of the "Marseillaise" died out, and themen turned to leave, there, standing immediately in the rear under the flag oftruce, stood two Prussian staff officers, who had come over to give up maps and

other information relative to the enemy territory. It was a dramatic scene, to

say the least, such a scene as a great painter might easily make a masterpiece,for it was the final tribute to those men who lay there.

That night as on the previous night all up and down the front the lines wereillumined by all kinds of fireworks, rockets, flares, star shells, all of which but aday or two before had been signals for the letting loose of artillery or machineguns, now used to signalize the rejoicing that allwas over.

The regiment was relieved on the nights of the twelfth and thirteenth and on

November fourteenth started that wonderful march back to rest. Ten days ofperfect weather followed, the tenth day found us at our new area after a marchof one hundred and eighty-five kilometers. Colonel Dowell had handled themove well; the regiment moved as a unit, the battalions being billeted along theway in the villages at the end of each day's march. For all that they had beenthrough, and it must be remembered that the regiment when it left the lineshad been reduced to between a quarter and a third of its strength, the mencame in that last day a very happy hardened lot of men who had seen the gamethrough.

That the division was not to have a chance to go into Germany as occupationtroops was a cause of regret among some; the hope of going home soon did,however, make up for this, and so we set to work to get ready for the next step,-home.

CHAPTER IX

BETTER DAYS

T HOUGH the title-page gives [this as the story of the 103rd Regiment fromAugust, 1917, to November, 1918, it seems fitting to conclude with a brief

account of the days following the actual cessation of. hostilities.By Thanksgiving, the regiment was well settled in its new area near Montigny-

le-Roi, with Regimental Headquarters and two companies of the 1st Battalionat Chauffort, the other two companies at Epinant, the 2nd Battalion at Is-en-Bassigny, and the 3rd Battalion at Sarrey. The Machine-Gun Company wasalso at Is-en-Bassigny. Thanksgiving was properly celebrated and every effortmade to have that day as happy a one as might be for the men.

Almost immediately drill was taken up again, somewhat to the amusementof the natives, who, now that the war was over, could not quite see the neces-sity for drilling, fighting mock battles, and all that sort of thing as if actuallygoing into the front again. But there was a reason for all this; no one knewexactly when the division would start overseas: it was absolutely necessary tokeep the men occupied, restore their spirits, and bring back that sort of disci-pline which troops in the rear must have if they are not to become a mob. Ourmen took hold in remarkably fine shape, keen rivalry was created between thecompanies both on the drill field and on the athletic field. The men were gradu-ally re-clothed, cleaned, and made presentable. Frequent inspections were held,and every effort was made to bring the regiment to that degree of preparednessfor returning home required by Debarkation Regulations.

Christmas Day, Mr. Wilson had dinner with the Division Commander andthose officers of the division who had been cited and decorated during the war.On his return to Chaumont, he passed through the Regimental area, stopping atSarrey and inspecting several of the billets and kitchens of our men. The Com-mader-in-Chief, General Pershing, and numerous other high-ranking officerswere in the President's party, and all seemed pleased at conditions as they foundthem.

During the regiment's stay in this area the usual bad winter weather was en-countered, but we were fortunate in avoiding any serious amount of sickness.Supplies came in well and other than for the uncertainty and delay in the matterof leaving, the regiment's stay was a pleasant one.

Colonel Dowell, who had taken great pains to raise discipline to a high markin the regiment, was early in December returned to the Division Staff being suc-ceeded by Colonel Arnold. By a most unfortunate accident on the day prior tothe regiment's departure for the Le Mans Embarkation area, Colonel Arnolddied. His loss was a cause of sincere regret to us all.

In the last week in January the regiment entrained for the Le Mans areawhere it was, as events proved; to spend another period of waiting. Again, ourmen were billeted in small villages somewhat scattered in the vicinity of Ec-commoy where Division Headquarters was stationed. Regimental Headquarterswas at Laigne together with the 1st Battalion and Machine-Gun Company, the2nd Battalion and Supply Company at St. Gervais, and the 3rd Battalion atTeloche. This area proved to be a very pleasant one. For the most part ourmen were well quartered and comfortable. Work and drill were carried for-ward, afternoons being devoted to athletics. Credit is due Chaplain Anderson,Chaplain Butzer, Mr. Baker, Mr. Woods, and Y. M. C. A. representatives,for the manner in which they furthered the athletics and entertainment of themen.

Two events during this period should be mentioned: the Division review byGeneral Pershing and the Division Athletic and Military Tournament. As tothe first, it was a spectacle which the men who took part in it can never forget.Over twenty-five thousand men massed on a single field were inspected by theCommander-in-Chief and then passed in review, with bayonets fixed, wearingtheir helmets and light packs. When one considers that during the war therehad been times when such a number and even more had been wiped out in asingle attack, something of the stupendousness of this great war comes home.Following his inspection, the Commander-in-Chief decorated a number of offi-cers and men in the division, not a few of whom were from this regiment. Theother event, the Division Tournament, was held at Eccomoy in the middle of

,March and lasted for three days. This affair consisted of competitive militaryand athletic contests open to all units of the division. Elimination contests hadpreviously been held within the regiments of the division, so that the events ofthese three days were final. A system of scoring was of course used, and this

regiment won second place in the Tournament. The Tournament was remark-ably well handled, for it involved much planning and thought to be run offsmoothly. Prizes were awarded on the third day at which time Major GeneralSummerall, formerly our Corps Commander, and Major General Hale, ourDivision Commander, addressed the winners and spectators.

During our stay in this area our old Commanding Officer, Colonel Hume,returned to take command of his regiment, which turned out as a body to wel-come him back. The last of March, tha regiment moved to Brest where, aftera short stay, it embarked on board the America and Agamemnon homewardbound.

As these lines are written the men find themselves in a real American campwith many of the comforts of home for the first time in twenty months. Soonto be mustered out, they will scatter to all parts of New England and of theUnited States.

It is hoped that as they leave, they are carrying back with them happymemories of these past months; a realization of the satisfacti6n of duty welldone, and a feeling of loyalty to the regiment and to one another which will gothrough life with them.

Time and space have forbidden that this story should be as long as somemight wish it; to others perhaps it has proved tedious reading. The writer hasendeavored to put down as many of the facts in as accurate a manner as hisown personal knowledge and the assistance of officers and men, records and fileshave been able to render. Perhaps it has seemed to be too exclusively of the manwith the rifle on his shoulder. This has not been the intention, for we cannotforget that without our Supply Company, without our Medical Unit, withoutthe assistance of our Machine-Gun Company, many of the things done overthere would have been impossible. They are all a part of the regiment; eachunit, each man knows what his bit was that added to the history of the regiment.

As these men start in life over again, it is hoped that some of the sufferingthey have endured, some of the sacrifices they have made will be an incentiveto making of the men of the 103rd Infantry a body of better Americancitizens.

Other Interesting History of the 26th DivisionThe first American unit organized as a division in the United States and trans-

ported complete to France.While in the La Reine and Boucq Sector, north of Toul, the 26th Division

engaged in the first two battles in which the Americans fought without thesupport of French infantry.

The 104th Infantry (formerly 2nd, 6th, and 8th Massachusetts Infantry),after the battle in the Bois Brule at Apremont, was cited in G.O. No. 737 A,Hdqrs., 32nd Army Corps (French), April 26, 1918, and had its colors decoratedwith the Croix de Guerre.

Citation of First Man Awarded Congressional Medal of Honorin the 26th Division as Follows:

Private First-Class GEORGE DILBOY (Deceased), Company "H,"103rd Infantry.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty inaction with the enemy on 18 July, 1918, near Belleau, France.

After his platoon had gained its objective alonlg a railroad embankment, PrivateDILBOY, accompanying his platoon leader to reconnoiter the ground beyond,was suddenly fired upon by an enemy machine gun from one hundred yards.From a standing position on the railroad track, fully exposed to view, he openedfire at once, but failing to silence the gun rushed forward with his bayonet fixed,through a wheat field towards the gun emplacement, falling within twenty-fiveyards of the gun with his right leg nearly severed above the knee, and withseveral bullet holes in his body. With undaunted courage, he continued to fireinto the emplacement from a prone position, killing two of the enemy and dis-persing the rest of the crew.
