On their way to a junction where a road blork was to have been established, the assault ing forces were dispersed by a heavy concentration of “Kraut” artillery fire, and the headquarters men found themselves in a pocket far behind the enemy lines, lost and without contact with friendly troops. The senior officer of the group, a first lieutenant, organized his men. They pushed on toward the objective as a combat unit, annihilating ma chine gun nests and mortar emplace ments as they advanced. They were hopelessly isolated as dawn approached, far in advance of their battalion and facing German artillery fire at close range. They dug in, intending to hide through the day. A large “Kraut” patrol passed by, unsuspecting. An Italian shepherd discovered then in the afternoon, but kept their secret. “As soon as it was dark enough for us to risk it,” Miller said “we ! held a little council of war.

Cau tiously, they followed through a nar- now defile leading toward the Am erican lines. “The ditch led us right up an op en field covered by enemy machine gun fire,” he continued, “and we had to stay where we were until the moon went down. It was after mid night by then.” The journey continued in three groups, Miller now leading the sec ond group, nine men. He and his men crossed the open leld, circumvented “Kraut” command posts betrayed by the enemy.’s flashlights and voices, made wide detours around a variety of German strong points. One of the men coughed as they circled around a pill box, but a Ger man sentry only 20 yards away coughed art the same time, and their •presence wasn’t suspected. A German sentry challenged them. The lieutenant in command shot the sentry instantly. They came to an extremely deep ravine through which flowed a small stream. Two of the men skidded down the bank and followed the creek downstream until they had guided the others to a place where it would be possible to cross. At this point Miller and the others lowered themselves into the abyss, and a human ladder was formed for ascent up the other side. Once across, they were confident they had reached American terri tory. They were soon disillusioned by a heavy volley of small arms fire that drove them to cover and ac counted for their only casualty. Here a German machine gunner prevented them from moving far ther. A corporal was sent forward a- gainst the enemy that stood in their path. He eliminated this last ob srtacle and the little band of lost men was enabled to continue to where they had heard an American machine gun chattering. They called out to the gunner that they were friendly troops and were able to cross back into their own territory.
