"You came to the battlefield at the crucial hour of the Allied cause. For almost four years the most for- midable army in the world as yet seen had pressed its invasion of France, and stood threatening its capital. At no time has that army been more powerful or menacing than when, on July 15, it struck again to destroy in one great battle the brave men opposed to it and to enforce its brutal will on the world and civiliza- tion.
"Three days later, in conjunction with our allies, you counter-attacked. The Allied armies gained a brilliant victory that marks the turning point of the war. You did more than give our brave Allies the support to which as a nation our faith was pledged. You proved that our altruism, our pacific spirit, our sense of justice have not blunted our virility, or our courage. You have shown that American initiative and energy are as fit for these
tests of war as the pursuits of peace. You have justly won the unstinted praise of our Allies and the eternal gratitude of our countrymen.
"We have paid for our success in the lives of many of our brave comrades. We shall cherish their memory always and claim for our history and literature their bravery, achievement, and sacrifice.
"This order will be read to all organizations at the first assembly formation after its receipt."
A few days of hard marching brought the mncn to Viffert, and then to Charley or rather a woods near that town. A few nights here and the men were again hiked closer the lines. Through Chateau Thierry, across the Marne and to St. Eugene, and again the Washington lads were close to the Boche.
Onie night's stay in a woods, sleeping in the rain-however, not an uncommon thing-and then up and forward again. This time the men were placed much closer the line. Under the cover of darkness, Company H moved up to a front-line position. This was on July 29. Heavy shelling and a few machine gun shots welcomed them. During the night, the order came that "you are going to take that hill in the morning," meaning hill No. 220, near Cierges, Sergy, and Courmont.
In the morning the attack was begun, and it was in making this attack, without artillery aid, that so many Washington boys were killed and wounded. Following repeated infantry charges and artillery fire later in the day, the objective was gained, but with heavy losses.
The following outline is based on information gained from other sources :
The objective in this sector was the town of Fismes, on the Vesle river, one of the largest German munition depots in the Soissons-Rheims. sector. Here on the Vesle river Company H gained more honor, and with the honor came also heavy losses. In a woods, in a retired position, parts of the Hoth lost heavily as the result of a German air raid.
Such places as La Bonne Maison, Villette, Arcis la Pen- sart, Abby De'lyny, O'Neilly, Mussey, near Bar-le-duc, and Vaubecourt are mentioned in connection with the severe fighting on the Vesle river.
Thinking they would get a rest, the men were disappointed when the order came to assemble the American forces into the First American Army. As a result the 28th Division was sent to the Argonne Forest, where its hardest fighting took place, with Company H getting its share, but covering itself with glory after ten days of fighting. It is useless to tell of the Argonne Forest, for what the American army did here to dislodge the Hun from his most formidable natural defenses is well known; and Company H did her full share.
About the middle of October Company H moved to the vicinity of Metz to await the drive on that city. When the armistice was signed, they were sent to various places in the Toul area. The division was assigned as one of several to push forward toward the German border to act in support of the Army of Occupation. Several weeks were spent in Germiny. a French town, and then the trip for home was begun. The command traveled by rail to Le Mans, the big American embarkation center, and there the men were pre- pared for the journey to St. Nazaire, and then to the United States.
The division sailed from St. Nazaire, arriving in this country on May 12.
