York war hero back in Tennessee speaks little of deeds
Nashville May 30 Alvin York described his Argonne actions and war experiences in rare detail as he returned home to Pall Mall Tennessee. He said the fighting began in woods near Chatel Chelery and later opened into fields while his division endured gas attacks for 26 days with no relief from June 27 to November 2. He recalled advancing through Floville and Chatel Chehery toward Buzancy and the river before drawing out.
