Night patrol in No Man's Land ends in losses and escape

In a late patrol, twelve men and a lieutenant moved out before dawn to scout German lines. They encountered a Bowie covering party of about thirty. three men were killed and one wounded. The officer ordered retreat and the party crawled back to trenches as bullets whistled overhead. Later, the Germans were found wiring their barbed wire and engaged with machine guns. The unit returned unseen, praising the officer’s quick decisions and noting Stars and Stripes showing in town on a farmer's wagon.
