Lytle. of Co. i G., 118th Infantry, has sent The ' Times a copy of General Orders ] No. 6, in which is noted the following citations for bravery for Fort Mill boys while in action: First Sergt Willie H. Nims, (1311282) Company G, 118th Infantry. During the engagement t near Montbrehain, 8th October i 1918, after all officers of his 1 company had been wounded, and ? he himself painfully wounded by shell fire in the leg, but unwill- h ing to leave his comrades he r assumed command of his com pany and led them with re- v markable dash and intrepidity b through heavy machine gun fire. His wound proving very serious ? he was compelled to use a stick w as a crutch in order to go for- e ward, but he neverthelees con- P tinued to lead his company until r, the objective was reached and tl the position consolidated. The j remarkable courage and fortitude | = of this soldier at all times was : the source of groat inspiration i t to his men. Sergt. Thomas L. Hall, (1311- . 284) Deceased, Company G, 118th Infantry. During the engage- f ment near Monbrehain, 8th Octo- L ber 1918, this non-commissioned 8 officer was in command of a ^ platoon and through his courage and initiative succeeded in a knocking out a number of hostile P machine gun posts. On one * occasion while advancing with y his platoon, and enemy machine o gun fire was interfering serious- t] ly with the advance of his men, K Sergeant Hall discovered the 3 enemy in a nearby shell hole L and not willing to sacrifice his 11 mon arluannoH olnnn n??4 ?..CJ uu?unvvu Uiviic auu Wl^cu out the five occupants with his bayonet. Later in the day while advancing upon another enemy ~ machine gun post he was mortally wounded by machine gun fire and later died. His skill as a leader and his conduct in the lace of danger has won the admiration of all ranks. Corporal Clarence C. Hope, (1324447) Battery F. 113th Field Artillery. During the operations on 27th October 1918, near the Bois de Begue, this soldier, on liaison duty with the infantry, went forward on his own accord, when others had to seek protection from the terrific machine . gun fire, and salvaged enemy wire within fifty to one hundred v yards of the front lines, exposing himself to the heavy shell and machine gun fire, and in so 1 doing secured material that en abled the furtherance of tele- ? phone liaison with our front , lines. His conduct was conspicuous for its daring and is worthy of the utmost commendation. Mechanic John S. Bayne, (1311394) Company G, 118th Infantry. During the operations near Bohain, 10th October 1918. after all the company runners had been killed or wounded, this soldier volunteered to carry a message to battalion headquarters. In order to do so it was necessary to pass through a very neavily shelled area, which he unhesitatingly did, although 1 having his pack shot from his < back. He was the first runner , to reach battalion headquarters , that day and carried important information to the battalion commander. His conduct through ' the entire engagement was conspicuous for its daring and de- < votion to duty. Private George F. McCall, (1311440) Company G. 118th Infantry. During the engagement near Montbrehain, 8th October 1918, this soldier was company runner and carried messages successfully to battalion headquarters over heavily shelled ground. In one case where he was carrying message to battalion from one of the company commanders, which contained valuable information about the line, it became necessary to cross an unusually heavily shelled area. By jumping from shell hole to shell hole he was able to deliver the message which anabled the battalion commander to meet the situation which otherwise would have proved very disastrous to ourj troops. This soldier at all times showed utter disregartd of per - 1 - - -T * su;mi saiety and his conduct was an inspiring example to his comrades. Tribute of Respect.
