Nicodcmus Says Action I Has Been Continuous Since July "Harrisburg boys have been fight ing without much relief and fighting devilishly hard ever since the storm ing of Chateau Thierry during early July." So said Captain E. A. Nico-I demus, recently returned from France where he was in the Quar-j termaster's Department with the Twenty-eighth Division, familiarly known as the Keystone Division, at the Pennsylvania Railroad station yesterday before leaving for Wash ington. Captain Nicodemus has been de tached from his former unit and this morning he went to Washington to report Jo the Quartermaster General for assignment to some divisional quartermaster's staff. He has no in timation as to wliat unit or to what camp or cantonment he will be as signed. Captain Nicodemus, a physician of this city at the time war was declar ed, left for overseas duty in April, and had been visiting at the homo of j his sister. Miss Luella Nicodemus. 2017 North Fifth street. He has been in the military service within one| month of twenty-six years. On liis return to this country from the fight ing front he had thrilling experi ences on the Mt. Vernon, torpedoed by a German submarine. "Most of the Harrisburg boys are in the llltli and 112 th Regiments of Infantry, making up the Fifty sixth Brigade. This brigade," Cap tain Nicodemus says, "has not seen as much front line service as nave the men of the Fifty-fifth Brigade, including the 109 th and 110 th Regi ments, but it cannot be said that the work they have been performing is any the less important and requires any the smaller degree of courage, than that being performed by the SEPTEMBER 26, 1918. men of the 109 th and 110 th. ' "While they have seen somcj front lino service, they have been | doing much work on the second line, j Important work, and have been i guarding ugainst Hank attacks, and in this capacity they have done real ly hard work. "The Harrisburgers together with all Pennsylvnnians have been ac quitting themselves honorably. That their work has been well done is the least that can be said for them. To mention particular deeds of any one of tho Harrisburg lads would be unfair to the others: all of them are performing valorotisly."
