American dash finest in fight at the front
Paris July 21 The finest thing for the combat was the dash of the Americans writes Medtenant Betray Iguea at the front for Temoy. The Americans moved with youth and physical force, throwing off sleeves, wading rivers, and driving German troops back in panic. The Germans fled toward our lines gripping their trousers, while mothers who lost sons could have found consolation in such epic audacity.
