Batteries of light field artillery were detailed to accompany the advance. An attack directly east of the Meuse was foreseen and planned for, but no efforts were spared by the commanders between the Meuse and the Aisne to feel dut the Allied line and attempt to gain information as to what was going on along their particular front. Detachments of military police were on duty with each Brigade Headquarters to be used for conducting prisoners to the rear. Message was sent to the Commanding, General, 35th Division, asking him to cover the 58th Field Artillery Brigade and the Epionville-Very road. At 23 oclock (11 P. M.), September 28, the Corps Commander directed renewal of the attack at 7 A. M. the next day, adding: 2. During his long life he fought in Spain, in Italy and in Switzerland, but the greatest enemy of this mighty emperor, as in Caesars time, so in all time, was the Germanic people. This line was begun in October, 1917, and, while it was not entirely finished at the time of our attack, it had been thoroughly wired; and like all German rear positions, possessed very great natural advantages. Excellent weather was also a big factor in whipping the men into the best possible physical condition. The Thirtieth Corps was to attack on the front betweeen Heurne and Audendarde, both inclusive. 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. The morning of the 27th, the Commanding General embarked on a transport for France. 163commissary troops.Armierung Battalion No. I desire to express to you upon the departure of your Division my appreciation of the character of the service of the Division with this command as well as with the Second Corps. The vigor with which this work was accomplished and the speed with which the trains followed up over the extemporized road, full of shell craters and mud holes, played an extremely important part in allowing the Division to continue its successful drive of the first day. Thus the records of the units of the 91st Division reached four different points of demobilization on the Pacific Coast. Machine guns of the 346th Machine Gun Battalion from the orchard near Epinonville frequently fired upon hostile planes. Hostile shelling became very severe, both upon the assaulting troops and also upon the town, but being driven back again and again. Their lines could be seen from the Division Commanders position near the Very crossroads, bravely advancing over open ground under heavy fire until checked at the ridge on which is Epinonville. The national anthems of America and France were played by a French band. The 58th Field Artillery Brigade shelles Gesnes and the Gesnes-Exermont road, to prevent traffic, at intervals during the day. Anchor was dropped at 6 oclock in the evening of July 17 off the Liverpool docks.

Organization [ edit] It was organized May 24, 1862, with 10 companies, A to K, all enlisted for 3 years or the duration of the war. When the 91st Division attacked, September 26, its total strength, including noncombatant arms, was a little less than 20,000. On February 1, the Second Corps was dissolved, and General Read took command of the American Embarkation Center, head quarters at Le Mans. After the first surprise, the invading wave was checked at the Marne and thrown back upon the Aisne during four years of hard fighting, from the North Sea to Switzerland on the Yser, on the Somme, on the Aisne in Champagne and at Verdun, the enemy was checked. About March 1, the Division was permitted to select 250 officers and men, most of whom were sent to the University of Beaune, Department of Cote dOr. Since the very beginning of the war this stretch of country been the scene of hard fighting. They are offered as reprints. Bosschen, including thus the hill on which was the Chateau-Stuivenberghe. It had come from Russia late in 1917 and had spent the whole winter in a long course of training in open warfare. As the entire infantry of the 91st Division could not be advanced to the hills north of Gesnes, it was necessary to order withdrawal of the advanced elements of each brigade to the line along the northern border of the Bois de Baulny and Bois de Cierges, holding the two farms named above as centers of resistance.

Between October 19 and 20 a large number of men and some officers who had been wounded in the Meuse-Argonne were either forwarded by orders to Dunkerque by rail or escaped from hospitals in rear of the Argonne and reached Dunkerque. The 181st Brigade was directed to advance toward Gesnes, and the 182nd Brigade, as soon as its right was covered by the 181st Brigade, to advance across the the Exermont-Gesnes road toward the American Army objective. guns of each front-line regiment and one platoon of field artillery were ordered to accompany each leading battalion. They had had but two nights sleep between the two participations, and many of the men were weakened by diarrhea. About 4:30 P. M. (16:30 oclock) the 122nd Field Artillery reported to the Division Commander at le Ravin de Lai Fuon, having passed the shell-torn village of Avocourt, and the road thence toward Very after repair by the engineers. The States which gave up their best to the 91st are California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, and the Territory of Alaska. The 182nd Brigade, on the left, the 364th leading with two battalions in front line and remainder in support, pushed the attack, and again the troops were obliged to work well out of their sector and into the zone of the 35th Division on their left, in order to overcome machine gun nests that were taking them in flank Starting from their line south of and roughly parallel to the Eclisfontaine Varennes road, they reached the road and Eclisfontaine without great opposition, but were there held by fire from, Serieux Farm on their left and from Les Bouleaux Bois. On arrival, the 91st had been placed at the disposition of H. M. the King of the Belgians, commanding the Group of Armies in Flanders. These two sectors, which lay opposite the 91st Division front, had originally been held by the 53rd and 37th German Divisions. And now, hidden in the Foret de Hesse, we began to be surrounded by an ever-thickening concentration artillery, long-range rifles, stumpy howitzers, battery after battery of smaller guns. The Corps Commander wishes you to understand that this relief results solely from a realization by higher command that your Division has done its full share in the recent success, and is entitled to a rest for reorganization. About twenty-five officers from each of the American divisions were invited to witness the entry of the King. In spite of the determined resistance of the enemy, in spite of the artillery and machine gun fire which opposed them, the troops of the 91st American Division captured Spitaals Bosschen by a clever flanking movement, reached the Scheldt, and penetrated into the town of Audenarde, from now onwards delivered from the yoke of the invader. By noon the traffic was flowing, or rather bumping, over the old No-mans4and and into Cheppy Woodfirst the combat wagons with their ammunition, then the artillery and finally the trucks of the Division supply trains.

As the leading battalions (two of the 362nd on the south and one of the 363rd on the north of Spittals Boschen) jumped off from their positions west of the Waereghem-Steenbrugge road at 5:30 a.m., they were met by heavy machine gun fire, both from their fronts and from concealed positions in Spitalls Bosschen. The nature of the terrain could not be surpassed for training troops in the open warfare in which they were to participate later. On the 13th, Commanding General, Thirtieth French Corps, received a review of the 361st Infantry at Audenarde. The Regimental Commander, believing that the secrecy of the movement would be betrayed by throwing bridges after daylight, and being already attacked by German airplanes on the bank of the Scheldt, concealed his regiment as far as practicable and sent report back to Division Headquarters that he believed he could effect the movement better by remaining there throughout the day and crossing after dark that evening.

After these dispositions had been effected, and while troops were marching thereto late in the afternoon of November 9, information was received that the enemy had commenced to retire from the east of the Scheldt, and that detachments with small groups of the 41st and the 12th French Division had gained possession of the eastern bank of the river. As brigade and regimental commanders had not yet reached the vicinity of Ypres, as they were moving by automobiles, the only method of assembling the Division was to direct every battalion and company to march to the vicinity of Roulers, as General de Goutte had given the Division Commander permission to occupy all available billets in the area just west of Roulers, within a very few miles of where the French were fighting. Here the soldiers discovered the true significance of the relentless submarine warfare the Germans had been waging in so far as it pertained to foodstuffs. One company of the 361st had crossed the first canal, where a platoon of engineers was constructing a bridge. For the 91st Division, that would be the 361st, 362nd, 363rd, and 364th infantry regiments. The line occupied by the Division for the night extended from just south of Epinonville, which was the eastern limit of the Division zone, around the head of the Ravin des Balonvaux (Plank Road Hollow), thence along the western slope of the ravine north of the city of Very, into the zone of the 35th Division. Colonel, Signal Corps,Acting, C.S.O. The 96th Infantry Division is a unit of the United States Army that served in World War II . Later, the Commanding General, 37th Division sent message that his division could not move up to support the 91st Division or cover its right flank. Colonel H. C. Jewett, 316th Engineers, was sent forward about 9 oclock to relieve Brigadier General F. S. Foltz, and overtook and assumed command of the brigade near Very crossroads. In its initial performance, your Division has established itself firmly in the list of the Commander-in-Chiefs reliable fighting units. By abandoning the line of the Scheldt, the enemy did not allow the putting in execution of the plan of attack which was so cleverly promoted. Ferocious and deadly as had been the fighting in the Argonne and about the summit of Vauquois, it is rendered almost insignificant in comparison with the battles which took place in 1916 a little farther to the east during the great German attack on Verdun. The men built shelter from small-arms fire by excavating the northern edges of shell holes. This accomplished, the attack of the 364th and 363rd pressed on, took the Bois de Baulny, Tronsol Farm and the slope north of the latter. With these officers comprising his immediate official family, General Greene took up the work of organizing an infantry division. Notes It killed one orderly and wounded First Lieutenant A. S. MacDonnel, aide, and one enlisted man. At 17:36 oclock, September 28, the Corps Chief of Staff had informed the 91st Division that the 35th Division was in Exermont. Although casualties had been heavy, especially in, company officers, the troops maneuvered with better liaison and under greater control by their leaders than during the Meuse-Argonne, showing the benefit of the experience they had gained in France. The insignia recommended was a fir tree of green cloth, inscribed within a triangle with base of two inches and altitude two inches. The mopping up detachment moved forward at the appointed time, 6:50 oclock. One battalion, 361st Infantry, with machine gun company attached, moved from street to street searching the houses and captured many German prisoners and some snipers and machine guns in the second stories of houses. These so-called trenches were not continuous, had been abandoned as trenches, and many of them were full of coils of wire, rendering them an obstacle rather than a line of protection from fire. Under artillery-fire protection the 3rd Battalion, 361st Infantry, seized Hill 255, after fighting all afternoon, about 18 oclock and dug in. 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 363rd Infantry, after making numerous captures in Cheppy, encountered strong resistance on emerging from the Bois de Cheppy from La Neuve Grange Farm. Operations Orders No. At this time 2 colonels, 2 lieutenant colonels, 8 majors and 123 company officers of infantry were required to replace officers killed and wounded during the six days of advance. W. D. Davis, 361st Infantry, who had been wounded on September 28, still insisted on retaining command of his regiment and was coolly stationing his units on the line of surveillance with his arm in a sling. These facts were not discovered until the early morning of September 22, during a raid on the 79th Division, Fifth American Corps, a member of the attacking party blundered into the French trenches east of Avacourt. On September 23 arrived the order from Fifth Corps Headquarters, dated September 21. Before the Division advanced to participate with the French Army of Belgium, forty-one American ambulances bad been driven by a part of our Sanitary Train from Marseilles, thus replacing the small Ford ambulances which had been assigned to the Division during the Meuse-Argonne.
