Reaching a line abreast of Grange aux Bois Farm, the 362nd received artillery and machine gun fire from that place (in zone of the 37th Division) and from hills northeast and northwest of Gesnes. Three officers had been sent ahead to La Ferte Bernard area to select billets, establish signal corps communication and receive replacements of the Division, which began to arrive in the La Ferte Bernard area one month before the Division was able to obtain trains. Others pushed forward and cut detours around two great tank pits that the Germans had dug in the road farther north. On, October 30 the remaining units of the 91st Division moved to a position assigned by the French Corps Commander at Desselghem just east of the Lys River. While the American staff was carefully checking up the roster of enemy divisions in line and in reserve and was perfecting the details of its own attack, the Germans were likewise preparing for defense and attempting to gain some inkling as to the direction and force of the blow which they felt was coming. About 18 oclock (6 P. M.) twenty-eight German bombing planes made a raid on the Division Headquarters, 58th Artillery Brigade and some engineers in the ravine between Epinonville and Very. 29TH CO CAC LOS ANGELES CALF -1ST CO CAC MANILA BAY, DET 86TH CO CAC REDES -8TH CO CAC FT MILLS, 10TH CO CAC MILITARY SURVEY OF LUZON-12TH CO CAC RCT DEPOT FT MILLS, 12TH CO CAC QUARTEL OF MANILA-111TH CO CAC, 111TH CO CAC REDES 15-20TH CO CAC MANILA BAY, 20TH CO CAC MANILA BAY-1ST CO CAC NARRAGANSETT BAY, 1ST CO CAC NARRAGANSETT BAY-5TH CO CAC NARRAGANSETT BAY, 5TH CO CAC NARRAGANSETT BAY-3RD CO CAC FT GREBLE, 117TH CO CAC FT DU PONT-52ND CAC FT RODMAN, 52ND CO CAC FT MONROE-4TH CAC JACKSON BKS, 75TH CO CAC FT McDOWELL-5TH CO CAC OAHU FT KAMEHAM, 6TH CO CAC FT KAMEHAMETHA-55TH CO CAC FT RUGER, 55TH CO CAC FT RUGER-159TH MOTOR CO CAC FT RUGER, 159TH CO CAC FT THOMAS-163RD CO CAC FT SHERIDAN, 22ND CO CAC -3RD CO CAC PORTLAND ME FT WILLIAMS, 3RD CO CAC PORTLAND ME CAC FT WILLIAMS-51ST CO CAC, 51ST CO CAC-21ST CO PORTLAND CA TRP FT PREBLE ME.

It is obvious that the enemy was not sure of the line-up of his own troops, reserves having been thrown in here and there and having become mixed with groups of the original defenders.

The 363rd reached the ravine running southwest from Eclisfontaine about noon. Division Headquarters then moved back to Very crossroads. A hostile airplane was brought down by an Allied plane in front of the 364th Infantry. Several organizations of the Division organized theatrical troupes after touring the area of the Division, were sent outside of that area to play for other commands. The 364th maintained contact with the 361st, but the 363rd inclined so far toward the west in an endeavor to gain touch with the 35th Division that some units thereof crossed the Varennes- -Eslisfontaine road, moving toward Serieux Farm, and came under artillery fire, probably that of the 35th Division, as the 363rd had moved into the zone of that division. More complete information on this collection and instructions on how to use it can be found in United States, Enlisted and Officer Muster Rolls and Rosters - FamilySearch Historical Records The 182nd Brigade attacked with the 364th Infantry on the right of the 363rd Infantry. The detachment of the 37th Division which had crossed the Scheldt River and established a bridgehead was also withdrawn and that division sent back to billets. The next day they crossed the border from Belgium into Germany, spending the night at Eupen. There was complete telephone communication throughout the night between this A. C. I. and Division P. C. and the reserve. The Commanding General, 1st Division, wishes me to express to you and to the officers and men of your command his appreciation and the appreciation of this division for the services rendered by the 181st Infantry Brigade while attached to the 1st Division during the operations between the Argonne and the Meuse, October, 1918. It contains about 400 books. Sensing danger, they made the raids mentioned, to obtain information. Nevertheless, there was no indication of faltering or weakening on the part of officers or men. As a result of the congestion in the camp at St. Nazaire, the movement by rail was interrupted from March 25 to 30. The St. Mihiel sailent had been reduced September 12-13, and the staff at Chaumont was taking up the task of launching the attack in the Meuse-Argonne, which had been planned long before by General Pershing as the proper strategic move to terminate the war. The direction of the attack carried the 91st Division north of, through and south of a series of low hills on which there were nurseries and farms but which, according to most of the maps, consisted of a wood called Spitaals Bosschen, thence inclining slightly to the south toward the Scheldt River and the direction of Kleihoek-Audenarde. Orders were then sent to prevent the 361st and 364th advances, and to elements farther ahead to hold their positions. The nature of the terrain could not be surpassed for training troops in the open warfare in which they were to participate later. Field hospitals were in the neighborhood of Very and east thereof. Since the very beginning of the war this stretch of country been the scene of hard fighting. The division was first organized in October 1918, during the U.S. mobilization for World War I. Most of the men had not yet received blankets or winter underwear, or any change of clothing. After their defeat on the Marne the Germans succeeded in checking their pursuers on a line from the Aisne to a little north of Verdun, and the long period of trench warfare opened with the two armies facing each other along it. Lieutenant Colonel Mudgett, commanding the 364th was severely wounded about noon, Major Gregory succeeding to command. As machine guns come into action suddenly and their killing power is terrific they cannot be reduced by frontal attacks of waves of infantry, but must be either shelled out or held under our own infantry and machine gun fire until they can be stalked by little groups of determined men. This army was made up of Belgian, French and British troops, the French Army of Belgium being now reinforced by two American divisions, the 37th and the 91st. At 11 oclock General McDonald received a report from Headquarters, 1st Division, that troops of that division were in liaison with the 32nd Division at La Tuilerie Farm, said to be actually occupied by the 32nd Division. In addition to the lines established by the 316th Field Signal Battalion, the 181st Brigade found insulated German wire in the Bois de Cheppy and used that wire in its advance, as did the Division Commander for communication with the Division P. C. at Cte 290. The American flags wave near ours. Marie area, with headquarters at Chateau- Michelbeke, a battery of the 53rd Field Artillery Brigade was sent to Bruxelles to represent the 91st Division. The heroes of the great war are here to-day to prove it. As these included men, it was difficult to distinguish them from Germans. On October 31, a German prisoner reported that no knowledge had reached them of the presence of Americans until an American artillery officer had been brought to a dressing station wounded the day before.
