Americans Wounded At Cambrai Begin Return From Front
Twelve American railroad engineers wounded during the Cambrai breakthrough are now at American Red Cross Hospital No. 2 in Paris. They were the first U S Army engineers to see frontline action on the Western Front and report shaping tank support routes and a repaired line after the British assault. One sergeant recalls unloading tanks, building a special roadway, and reconnecting the line as Fritz retreated.
