Camden Private And Companions Capture A Town Prrrnte Edward Hinaon and Group Taken Orer Village of Eagekahn Pfc. Eklward Hinson of this city, was oDo of nine men-from Company 1 of the Srd Battalion, 417tb Regiment 'Of the 7€Ui Infantry Divlalon, who virtually waged a email war of their own at Bngehahn, Germany, where they captured 2S4 German soldiers. In cluding two lieutenant colonels, one major, six lieutenants and 62 non commissioned officers in four days. And It was Sergeant Ralph Wil liams, the squad leader who proclaim* ed himself^bqrgomester of Bngehahn and Issu^ decrees to * The civilian population through the medium of an old-time town crier. Prom the communications sorie of the 76th Infantry comes the following epic story of the exploits pf the^ Cam den soldier and-«hls eight companions. Company I was the leading com. pany of the battalion, clearing out strong pockets of resistance left be hind by General Patton’s smashing tank drive to the East. The battalion quickly overcame enemy resistance at Bhigenbahn, taking 41 prisoners in the operation and then , pushed on, leaving nine‘men to guard the pris oners and search the town. As the last elements of the bat talion disappeared over the horison. snipers went into action against the handful of men. Sgt Williams left two men to guard the prisoners, and began combing the area. Pour hours later they had rounded up 100 enemy trope, all armed. - When darkness closed . down, a major prohlem confronted this little band of courageous infantrymen. In addition to guarding the prisoners they had to organise security patrols and hold the town. Other elements of the 76th Division were expected to move up through Engenhahn within a few hours after the battalion had left, and take over the prisoners.

Food, was scarce, and had to be scraped up wherever It could be found. Sleep was out of the question fo»’ tlie i ifantrymen. Thrco men* were left to guard the prisoners, and the others-^ organized security patrbis. Obstrving enemy ac tion on a nearby hill, Sgt. Williams led his squad through dense woods and surrounded a German Lt. Col. and 35 of his men. The enemy group was taken without the loss of a single Yank. Sgt. Williams, '‘questioned" the Lt. Col. at the PW' enclosure, and al though the former could not speak any German he learned through ges- / As lovasioii of Normandy Coast Started War Prime Minister Alaste has ao closed une/ishiag and ani^ers ilred -to — ’*— hava licensee.
