Major Hultz recalls a day of real warfare on Nov 1 1918
Major R E Hultz, commanding officer, describes a brutal November 1 1918 action near the Escaut River. Soldiers push up a hill through heavy bombardment, suffer casualties including a killed Corp. Magee and wounded Hopkins and North, then advance to Wannegan Lede and Hearne amid shifting enemy positions. Army progress continues despite obstacles as units, gunners, and Belgian civilians endure shellfire and scorched terrain.
