Meyers, Company F, 131st Infantry, of the 33rd Prairie division, who saw service on the front lines and who was recently dis- charged from the service, spent a quite and serene Fourth of July in Wilmette. He found ample time for bit: of retrospection and his thoughts carried him back to the thrilling events of a year ago and the Fourth of July of 1918 when he participated in a very grim and ex- tremely serious "fire-works display" at Corbie, France. He tells briefly of his experiences on that day. You will be interested to hear the simple and modest account of one of the fierc- est engagements of the last year of the war at the time when America began to assert herself in turning the tide of battle against the Hun in- vaders. Meyers was formerly assistant professional at the North Shore Golf club and has many friends on the north shore. He resides in Wilmette. Wilmette, Illinois, July 1, 19109. Well--Here it is a year since the regiment had its initial experience in going over the top. On July 4, 1918 two companies of our regiment, the 131st infantry, together with two companies of the 132nd, received or- ders from the British Second Army headquarters on June 29 to procesd to the lines held by the Australians | in front of Hamel. The balance of the regiment followed the next day. After hiking for eight hours we pitched tents in an old orchard getting up at five o'clock in the morning for a light breakfast and an early resumption of the journey. Af- ter being on the road until noon we finally arrived at cur destination, the reserve trenches, The Australian regimental mander. met us their. He shirt sleeves and we did not recognize him. The colonel told us what to do what not to do and then excused us for the-day with the order that we intrench ourselves for the night. We were entrenched on a hillside. We were on the outskirts of a shell-torn village and on this day the Germans shelled the vicinity heavily. Ordinarily the enemy threw only a few shells into a devastated town in the course of a week. The colonel had objected to the manner of pro- cedure employed in bringing the men up to the lines as a half-platoon was taken up at a time instead of two squads as was customary. Taking men in comparatively large groups he eharacterized as suicide. Everything was alright on com- was in at first the evening of July 1 and the following morning and afternoon. Toward evening the men were called to- gether and everything explained per- taining to our removal to the imme- diate reserve on the other side of the road a mile nearer the front lines. At eleven o'clock that night a lieu- tenant from the Australian forces came over for three of the men of our company for duty as a carrying detail to transport barbed wire to the front line trench. We had carried this wire to the support trench after dark that evening. The corporal in charge of the Am- ericans, (there were only ten of us attached to the Australian company), { ordered me to select two other men to accompany me as the detail. The shells were commencing to fall with some degree of regularity now and, after advancing seme distance, we could gage our proximity to the front line by the direction of the shelling. Our party became lost that night and passed over into No Man's Land before we were aware of our pre- dicament. The place of our crossing was a connecting trench be the front and support wuver tween trenches. After getting our bearings our mission was soon fulfilled and a three o'clock in the morning of July 3 we were back at our former posi- tion. We had carried 100 rolls of | wire and many posts in approximate- ly three hours. At ten o'clock that morning we received orders to pack up and were taken out of line. were already up in the front line so they remained through the "push" and joimad the regiment later. The men left the trench two at a| time a distance of fifty yards apart | so as to avoid the possibility of heavy casualties. The company formed in the woods about two miles to the rear and proceeded back to Allon- ville passing through Corbie, a city about the size of Evanston, the bat- talion headquarters. A corporal and [ were ordered to remain here at headquarters. Our equipment, had we remained in the lines on July 4, would have consisted of our light packs. a shovel or pick mattock, two bandoliers of ammunition besides the hundred rounds carried in our belts, thrze sugar bags to be used for "revett- ments" in digging in, three hand grenades, carried in our pockets. Be- sides 'carrying a rifle each man was and | | | tories over a harder class of teams? to take a roll of barbad wire or a post. At five-thirty o'clock the men "hopped off" alright there being a bombardnient on since early in the Winnetka has a good team, a good battery and Wilmette has the same.
