Its Staff Organization. Advancing Over Hind en burg Line After Three Days' Fighting When Armistice Came. ^ t o m _ xx* LOlumDia, june a.? iue umuiai history of the service of the 81st division in France as prepared by the historical branch of the general staff follows: The 81st division arrived in France via England on August 16, 1918, and proceeded to the training area at Tpnnerre (Yonne), except the 165'th field artillery brigade and the 306th ammunition train which were sent to Camp Valdahon (Doube.) After a month's training the division, less the artillery brigade, and the ammunition train, proceeded to the St. Die sector (Vosges), arriving on September 19 and occupied the same until the 19th of October. It formed a part of the 33rd corps (French) and later the 10th corps (French). During this month of service in the sector the division was ^engaged in and repulsed raids. One of the latter, preceded by a long and severe artillery preparation by the Germans, was followed by an attack of about 100 shock troops, who were repulsed with some 10 killed, one captured and probably several wounded. Shotguns and automatic rifles were successfully used by our troops, one of our men killing three Germans with an automatic. During the occupancy of this sector the casualties were two officers killed and J - J in r-in?/l on/I AC none wuuiiueu, x o mcu mucu auu ^u wounded. The division left the St. Die sector on October 19 and proceeded to the vicinity of Rambervillers (Vosges) to await transportation to join the First army for the Meuse-Argonne offensive. It reached the Sommediere sector, south of Verdun, early in November joined the Second Colonial corps (French), remaining in reserve a few days, and on November 6 replaced the 35th division in this sector. On the night of November 8 orders were received to attack the German lines on the Woevre plains the next morning. During the night the troops were withdrawn from the north -and south ends of the sector, which was some 24 kilometers long, concentrated, and at 8 o'clock in the morning advanced to the attack. The Germans had held this position since early in the war; their lines were full of pill boxes and strong centers of resistance, all of concrete, and the low and marshy plain was full of wire. Ville-en-Woevre was a particularly strong position, heavily fortified, and had resisted capture during the St. Mihiel operations of September 12 and the following days.. Although the Germans were opposing only rear guard actions to the American advance, they had shown no such tendency in the Sommedieue sector, and while elsewhere both troops and munitions had been withdrawn, their lines were strongly held opposite the right of the First army, where three divisions confronted the ^81st?the 5th Prussian guards, the 3rd Bavarians and the 13th Landwehr. The division attacked with two regiments in line and two in support, after a short artillery preparation by the 60th artillery brigade of the 35th division. This artillery brigade gave the division all possible support during the entire advance, but owing to lack of heavy guns, and particularly lack of horses for the 75's it couid follow the attack with but two battalions of the latter caliber, and its 155 mm howitzers were much outranged by the German artillery. The long occupancy of the ground and the skilful use of airplane observa tion enabled the German artillery to oppose our advance jvith fire from guns outside of our artillery range; the latter kept up a continual and effective series of barrages, and it was from this, rather than from machine gun and infantry fire, that most ! of the casualties suffered by the division were due. During these operations the division attacked and captured the fortfi fied villages of Moranville, Griman| court and Abaucourt; occupied the : villages of Blanzee and Maneulles; broke through the first and second entrenched lines and occupied the woods of Les Chaires Chenes and Noire Hale and Le Grand and Petite Cognon; and when hostilities ceased was up to and advancing over the Hindenburg line and the very strongly fortified village of Hautecourt. The German lines were pushed back from two to five and one-half kilom eters. The casualties of the division in the three days' fighting ^ere: Officers, 11 killed, 34 wounded and 1 captured; men, 167 killed, 757 wounded, 56 captured and 6 missing. On November 18 the division left the Sommedieue sector for the training area, around Chatillon-sur-Seine (Cote D'Or), reaching there December 3, with headquarters at Mu^sysur-Seine. The artillery brigade then joined the division, which formed a part of the eighth corps. The First army and the eighth corps were discontinued on April 20, 1919, and the division joined the Ninth corps. On May 2 the division was detached from the ninth corps and sent into the S. 0. S. for return to the United States. ^ ! > ? VATinr ^v/xivri* Of Special Meeting of Stockholders of Bamberg Banking Company, Bamberg, S. C.
