First US railroad artillery fights Germans on front
On the western front the American railroad artillery opened a major action at 2 10 pm with six guns firing about 45 shells each. The operation, prepared over four nights, aimed at a German ammunition depot behind lines, with night moves, scarce daylight work due to air activity, and a rapid hit and run retreat after the 2 10 to 5 pm bombardment. The Germans later shelled the former positions, but the American guns had already withdrawn.
