I ? 1 aI * sucn vauant wora recently in smashing the seemingly impregnable Hindenburg line: Divisional Headq., A. E. F: A Oct. 1, 1918 Gen'l Order No. 33. (1) The division commander wishes to congratulate the 30th division upon the success of its first divisional action, and to express appreciation of the courage, gratitude and devotion displayed by its personnel. (2) To be given the task, in its initial effort, to play an important role in breaking the Hindenburg line, the strongest defenses on the western front, and the fact that the breakthrough was actually made on the divisional front, is ample evidence that the honor was not misplaced, and is a credit to the fighting efficiency of the division and the command, of which the undersigned has every reason to be proud. (3) The division retires temporarily for reorganization and well-earned rest, but with a filing of satisfaction at a task well done and with augmented faith in itself. (4) There is a deep and keen regret for the gallant comrades who have gloriously died, and in the earnest intention of further perfection as a combat organi 1ll.. IL.

Lewis, Maj-Gen. Commanding. Headq. Infty, A. E. F., Oct. 4th., 1918. Gen'l Order No. 22. (1) The regimental commander desires to express to the officers and men of the regiment his appreciation of their heroic conduct in their first Battle. (2) For five days the regiment held the front of the division sector, advancing the lines and repelling an enemy raid. In the advance the regiment was assigned the most important portion as the divisional reserve. 1 he Second Battalion and the machine company were sent to reinforce the list at the front line. Other companies were engaged in trying service, aiding the wounded and burying the dead. All organizations shared in the regiment's contribution to the division's great victory at the Hindenburg line, once thought impregnable. (3) These are actions whose mere recital must stir the imagination. Men engaged in such deeds have *won the right to stand in the ranks of the valiant. (4) In this day of victory we record our deep sorrow for our comrades who have given their lives to the cause. What they have done will be remembered so long as America honors valor.
