MAJOR GENERAL LEWIS* STORV.!
(Continued from page 1, column 6.) !
Nineteenth British corps on the
right and the Twenty-seventh American
division on the left, with the assistance
of tanks and under protection
of a creeping barrage. After!
this division had captured the ob- j
jective, the Fifth Australian division ;
with its own artillery and tanks was
to'pass through and exploit the sue-1
cuss to designated objective.
Within the division the attack was '
made by the Sixtieth brigade with;
U? fi^/v M 4 u ^ I: 1 oAi.1. >
.iia i w u 1 c?,xxnt;ii ts in nxe line, i^uiu
infantry on the right and the 119th I
infantry on the left, each regiment;
with two battalions in front l.'ne and
one in support. The support battalions
were given definite nioppingup
missions in the Hindenburg system
and tunnel and the town of Belli- j
court, while the front line battalions
were directed to detail certain companies
for mopping up in their area.
The 117th infantry was allotted the
special task of following the 120th
infantry across the tunnel, then to
deploy, facing south at the conclu^
? sion of the creeping barrage. During
the operation of the Australian
, division this regiment was to resume
its movement southward in order to
protect the flanks of the Australian
division. It was also expected that
the advance of this regiment would
facilitate the crossing of the canal
by the British division on the right.
One company of the 120th infantry,
assisted by a section of machine guns,
was given the special mission of
seizing and holding the southern exit
of the tunnel at Riqueval.
Especial stress had been laid in all
orders and instructions upon the necessitv
of hugging the barrage, irrespective
of the section of tanks. The
success of the operation was due in
a large measure to the fact that these
orders were strictly obeyed.
The Attack of September 29th.
At 5:50 a. m., September 29, the
field artillery barrage fell on the
barrage srat. line, remaining there
fouf minutes and thereafter lifting
100 yards in four minutes. This 18\
.
- v pounder field artillery barrage was
further extended by the 4.2 howitzers,
while the heavy artillery fired
on selected targets in advance of
the field artillery barrage. At the
same time the massed machine guns
; / **
of the division put down a belt of
Are on the main Hindenburg trench.
The German barrage was not partic!fc
>. niarly heavy but as it fell near our
lumping off line, it*?aused a number
of casualties among the support
troops.
?
Tne morning was foggy; this
mixedv with the smoke shells of the
, barrage made it extremely difficult
and often impossible to see more
. than a few feet in any direction. The
infantry started off well from the
tape but had not progressed more
than a few hundred yards before they
began to experience difficulty in
maintaining direction and contact;
and during the remainder of the
ft-*?- % ' *
morning the fight was carried on by
more or less mixed groups which had
been picked up and re-organized by
energetic officers. This series of
isolated fights took place along the
X whole front; small groups of men
acting on their initiative would clean
out troublesome machine gun nests
and mop up any trench encountered.
On several occasions small energetic
-* l groups with the assistance of a tank
which they found apparently left in
the obscurity, captured machine
. guns and minenwerfers, which were
inflicting casualties upon our troops.
In general, these groups, particularly
in the right sub-sector, pushed on
toward their objective.
Blinded Enemy Machine Guns.
While the fog was a very great
hindrance to the maintenance of or.....
dpr and pnhooinn nn fho nUiai- hon/1
it was of great assistance in blinding
, the enemy's machine guns and field
, artillery. On a clear day and against
a comparatively unshaken enemy be%
hind broad belts of comparatively uncut
wire, against nests of machine
guns and minenwerfers, it is difficult
to see how any troops could ever
have taken the position.
The 120th infantry on the right
having only the enemy in their direct
front to contend with, were able to
make \ steady progress toward their
objective. The 119th infantry on the
left early encountered heavy machine
gun fire from the sector to their left,
N and
were soon forced to form a defensive
flank in that direction. A
battalion of the 117th infantry was
ordered to advance through the town
of Bellicourt, mopping it up as they
went, to the support of the left flank,
which by this time was extended on
a very broad front. Later in the day
a battalion of the 119th infantry was
\ /
also sent to this flank and rendered
excellent service i^ connecting the!
left flank of the 119th infantry with j
the right flank of the division on the !
left. It was also able to render good j
service as a support to the Australian j
division after the latter had passed j
through.
