motheast of St. Juvin. About
riMnsk in the evening the rest
company advanced northeast to
gmh( near the Martincourt farm
where they waited until two o’cloek
in the morning of October 12th, when
they forded the Aire river and pro¬
ceeded to the ravine one kilometre
southeast of St Juvin. About five
thirty that morning a shell exploded
in the ravine, killing Privates Apple
bee and Ferrieni and wounding Lieut
Harvey and Private* Martin, Trem¬
blay and Harriman and gassed Corp.
Nicolari. This position was held Oc¬
tober 12th and 13th.
On the morning of October 18th a
report was circulated that the armis
tcie was about to be signed, but no one
threw away his ammunition, At four
o’clock that afternoon rin enemy bar¬
rage was put down oh the ravine,
lasting, twenty-five minutes, during
which all thoughts of the armistice
were forgotten. The moment the bar¬
rage lifted the whole company mann¬
ed the paripits. It was at this point
Captain Howell, climbing over the
paripit, cautioning the men to hold
their fire until they could see the
white of the Bocher’s eye and then
give them hell. But the attack did
not materialize and the men had to
crawl back in their holes.
On the morning of October 14th an
order was received at seven o’clock
for a general advance to start at 8:30
in a northerly direction. This com¬
pany, then about two platoons strong,
was in support of Company M. and
went over the top promptly at the
appointed time, meeting very little re¬
sistance from the front, but a heavy
infiladed fire from both flanks.
About four hundred yards north of
the St. Juvin-Sommerance road, Lt.
Fuller' was wounded, and about ten
minutes later Lt. Stuart, Sergt Wei
ler, Corporals Harris, Bolen and
Young and Privates Malasca and Cos¬
tello were wounded. Capt. Howell be¬
ing the only remaining officer left in
the company, Sergt. David L. Jester
took command of the third and fourth
platoons and First Sergt. John M.
Peurifoy took command of the first
platoon and continued to advance. The
company advanced to and dug in, in
a ravine about one kilometre north¬
east of St. Juvin and remained there
that night.
October 15th the order to advance
was given and Companys L and M
consolidated under the command of
Capt. Howell. At 9:10 in the morn¬
ing the advancp started in a norther¬
ly direction towards Champignelle,
and stopped in a ravine south of the
latter place. Seventy -five prisoners
were captured here. At about ten
was relieved by the first'batallion and
retired to the St. Juvin road as in sup¬
port. During the above advance
Capt. Howell, Corporal Martin, Pri¬
vates Lipman and Milanq were
wounded and removed to the rear.
Privates Musto, Grabowski and Tra
pass were killed.
The company remained there all
day and on October 16th was again
ordered to advance in support of the
First battalion; but before an advance
could be made the First batallion was
forced to withdraw because of the
heavy enemy artillery Art. First
Sergeant Peurifoy, then in command
of Company L, was ordered to proceed
to a ravine in front of our lines, to
function as a combat laison patrol
between the 326th and the 825th In¬
fantry. As soon as a connection with
the 325th Infantry was established
about one thousand yards in advance
of the 326th Infantry lines' Sergt.
Peurifoy received a message from
the rear that a barrage was to be laid
down in front of the 326th Infantry
front lines and in rear of his present
position. This message was received
about two minutes after the barrage
was on and it was therefore necesary
for him to proceed through our own
barrage to get back to our front lines.
At the same time the enemy threw a
barrage on our front line, making it
extremely difficult for him and' his
men to return. However, he managed
to get back with but ferw casualties;
Privates Siwula and Perrott being
wounded by shrapnel and the balance
of the men slightly gassed. All had
to be removed to the rear. From Oc¬
tober 17th to Oct 30th the present
lines were held by the batallions alter¬
nately, Sergeant Sullivan being in
command of Company L.
