THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 8, 1919.
William Crookston, Pittsburgh, san
itary officer of the division, saved
the lives of 1,200 men in the tirst
action into which the division got,
on July 14, at Chateau Thierry.
Tho division was thrown into the
breach so hastily that it had been
uod no overseas supplies, which
meant no ambulances. Fighting was
territic, and the wounded accumu
lated in and immediately behind the
lines, where they could not be
tended, in fearful numbers, but
there was no way of getting them
back. Colonel Crookston sent for
the officers of the One Hundred and
Third Supply Train and instructed
them to fill their supply trucks a
foot deep with the soft leafy loam
of France and to spread canvas over
the earth. This was done, the trucks
sped to the front and for a week
served as ambulances, carrying 1,-
200 men back to the hospitals.
Captain H. A. Souders, organizer
of Company A of tho One Hundred
and Third Ammunition Train, later
served with the One Hundred and
Third Signal Battalion. This bat
talion first flung into action on July
4 to help stem the German on
slaughter at Chateau Thierry. They
swept forward with the turning tide
of battle and stayed in front straight
through to the Vesle river.
On September 8, on the Vesle
river, the unit was taken out of the
lines and went to the Argonne,
where it stuck, with thinning ranks,
until October 9, when it jumped
over to the Thiaucourt sector, and,
because the ranks were too weak
ened to allow any resting, every
man stajed in action until the sign
ing of the armistice, on November
11. The lees than 500 men in the
unit suffered 225 casualties and
twenty-seven deaths, with a number
of missing.
"The Field Signal Corps men,"
said Captain Souders, "have accom
plished more unheralded heroic
deeds than the men of any other
branch. To be cited or win decora
tions, a man must perform some act
to which there are witnesses. When
a sicnal man creeps out to mend a
broken wire in a hail of lire, or
works for hours in full view of the
enemy, unarmed, he cannot summon
a gallery to sit and watch him, so
he doesn't often get a medal. Here's
an instance of what I mean:
"At Thiaucourt I had the whole
company out trying to make connec
tions between battalion headquar
ters. AVe did what we could; then
the Boehes spotted us, and the point
where we had to work was iiter
ally peppered with shells dropping
unceasingly. T gave orders for the
eon.pany to drop back,' and we lay
in a safer place, waiting all night
lor the fire to cease so we could
go and run the wires. When we
went out again we found the con
nection already made. Privates Rus
sell Hodgert, of Pittsburgh, and
Herbert Tarr, of Stroudsburg, un
known to me, had sneaked out dur
mir the night and made the connec
tion. But they didn't get any
medals."
